A SECRET Lives of Mormon Wives star and self-confessed "soft swinger" was seen weeping in dramatic footage from her arrest following a drunken row with her boyfriend. The Disney+ personality, 30, "went ballistic" as she locked horns with partner Dakota Mortensen in an incident inside their home in 2023, before being charged with assault. Previously, fans were quick to blast the reality TV series as "unhinged " - with social media star Dakota, 31, even complaining he suffered a "bad edit" as The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives kicked off.
Now show protagonist Taylor Frankie Paul has branded the explosive arrest drama, which happened in 2023, the "worst week" of her life. Scenes and police body-cam footage showing the moment of her arrest were played out as the first episode of The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives series wrapped. Earlier in the episode, Taylor broke down in tears as she recalled the incident in full.

Yet it was actually commissioned off the back of influencer Taylor's shock confession earlier this year. Taylor went viral for admitting that she and her then-husband had been "soft swinging" with other Mormon couples. This is the principle of "playing games and being intimate in front of each other" rather than "full on switching partners" the mum-of-three explained in an interview on US TV series, The View.

Her indiscretion hit the headlines and the cameras moved in to follow the fallout from the scandal in the new TV series. But she isn't the only scandalous subject on the episodes. The steaming platform series follows the lives of eight Mormon 'MomTokers' in Utah.
Having married and given birth to their first children by 21 - with some falling pregnant by 16 - the women have formed their exclusive group. One of the MomTokers admitted in one scene: "No one is innocent, everyone has hooked up with everyone." Elsewhere, there were confessions of drug taking to "spice up" their sex lives.
