Exclusive 911 recordings have surfaced, revealing a tense and emotional domestic incident involving "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Taylor Frankie Paul and her partner, Dakota Mortensen. The audio, obtained from the Draper Police Department, paints a troubling picture of the events that unfolded on February 22, 2026.
In the first call, a child's distressed cries are audible in the background as a tense exchange occurs. Dakota Mortensen is heard stating, "I told you," while Taylor Frankie Paul's voice, though largely unclear, pleads repeatedly with the word "please." The dispatcher struggles to assess the volatile situation.
Moments later, Dakota gets on the line and explains he’s calling because his son “isn’t doing good” and he wants advice on what to do. He tells the dispatcher the child had thrown up but appears to be okay now, adding that they plan to take him in themselves. When the dispatcher offers to send help, Dakota declines and the call ends shortly afterward.
The following day, a second call was placed to authorities by a man identified as Cru Ethan, who claimed to be a friend of Dakota Mortensen. He reported what he described as a pattern of domestic abuse.
Cru alleged the incident occurred at the home of the child's mother, claiming she had assaulted his friend before and was currently on probation for domestic violence. He described escalating tensions, citing visible scratches on his friend's neck, property damage including a broken car mirror, and a thrown drink.
Cru specifically named Taylor Frankie Paul, noting her high-profile role and claiming the pair had a long, complicated relationship. He stated that seeing the injuries was "the straw that broke the camel's back" and prompted him to come forward.
He further alleged there was extensive evidence, including photos and videos, that depicted repeated abuse. This reportedly included footage showing Taylor striking her children with a bar stool and physically attacking Dakota Mortensen, whom Cru described as being "mentally drained" by the ongoing situation.
