00:00Taylor Frankie Paul was confronted about her 2023 domestic violence arrest
00:04while filming her now-canceled season of The Bachelorette.
00:07An insider told TMZ that contestant Casey Hux brought up the case to Paul
00:12when they were on a date together.
00:13The insider claimed that Paul got very emotional about the topic.
00:17Another source alleged that the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star
00:20had a full-fledged meltdown and then stormed off the set.
00:24TMZ further reported that Hux brought up Paul's arrest
00:26because he wanted to know if she learned from the experience
00:29and how she'd grown from it.
00:31At the time of the date, Hux had not seen the viral domestic violence video
00:35that led to Paul's arrest, the outlet noted.
00:38Paul filmed season 22 of The Bachelorette late last year
00:41with 22 men, including Hux, vying for her heart.
00:45ABC chose Paul as the leading lady
00:47despite the fact that she was arrested in 2023
00:50and charged with misdemeanor assault, criminal mischief,
00:53and commission of domestic violence in the presence of a child
00:57following a fight with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen,
01:01with whom she shares son Ever, age 2.
01:04All the charges were later dropped.
01:07Taylor has spoken about the toll that the leaked footage has had on her children.
01:11She left an emotional comment on a TikTok video
01:13blasting her ex, Dakota,
01:15for allegedly leaking the disturbing video
01:17on their son Ever's second birthday.
01:20The mom talk creator denounced her toddler's special day being taken from him.
01:24The reality star added,
01:26worst part is my daughter, Indy,
01:28having to relive and see it all over again years later
01:31after extensive work with her and apologies to her about that night.
01:35She also tearfully reflected on the hard incident
01:38during a September 2025 call-her-daddy interview
01:41promoting the bachelorette season.
01:43They were in the house and I never,
01:45the charges were all dropped.
01:47I never had hurt my daughter.
01:49I never intentionally did anything with my children.
01:50I never have ever.
01:52And so that was like the hardest time.
01:53However, ABC confirmed shortly after the cell phone footage went viral
01:57that Taylor's season was canceled.
