00:00I actually talked to her right before I came in here and she seemed pretty positive today.
00:03And I think she knows that this is going to be a long and scary journey. And
00:07the thing about Taylor, she always tells the truth. You know, she's known for that. And I
00:10think she's going to handle this in the best way possible. And I think she's taking a beat
00:14to figure that out. She's not just running to TMZ and leaking stories. So I think that's the
00:19right way to go about it. Jesse Draper is sharing how Taylor Frankie Paul is doing as she faces
00:23ongoing legal issues and a temporary custody loss. Jesse said she spoke with her secret lives
00:29of Mormon Wives co-star just before appearing on Call Her Daddy, describing Taylor as positive
00:34despite the situation. She added that Taylor understands the road ahead will be difficult,
00:38but is taking time to process everything and figure out her next steps. Jesse also emphasized
00:43that her friend has built a reputation for being honest and said she believes she will
00:47handle the situation the right way. At the same time, she took aim at Dakota Mortensen,
00:52suggesting he may have been behind leaks to the media about a domestic violence investigation
00:57tied to a February incident involving allegations on both sides. The controversy has already impacted
01:03production on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, with filming for Season 5 currently on hold.
01:08Jesse said the cast is focused on dealing with real-life issues first before returning to the show,
01:14adding that there is no shortage of drama if filming resumes. She also claimed Dakota may have leaked
01:19past cell phone footage from a 2022 fight, which contributed to further fallout for Taylor.
01:24That includes her removal from The Bachelorette, a project Jesse said came at a time when Taylor
01:29was actually in a strong and confident place. She said she noticed a change in Taylor's energy
01:34after filming, describing it as a return to her former self, and expressed disappointment that
01:39viewers may not get to see that version of her. Recent developments have added to the situation,
01:44Taylor has temporarily lost custody of her two-year-old son, as part of a protective order filed by Dakota.
01:50She is also reportedly being investigated for another alleged domestic violence incident,
01:55dating back to 2024. For now, Jesse says Taylor is staying focused, keeping a low profile,
02:01and preparing for what she knows will be a challenging process ahead.
