Taylor Frankie Paul Claims Ex Dakota Mortensen Slammed Her Head in Truck Dispute
Taylor Frankie Paul has leveled serious allegations against her ex-partner Dakota Mortensen, claiming domestic abuse. The accusations were made public through a protective order filed on April 7, 2026. In this document, Paul outlines multiple instances of alleged mistreatment, including assault and stalking.
Details of the Allegations
Paul’s filing cites four separate incidents of abuse. Notably, during a confrontation on February 23, 2026, she claims that Mortensen assaulted her by slamming her head against the dashboard of his truck. At the time, three children, including the couple’s son Ever, were asleep at her home.
Specific Incidents Identified
- February 23, 2026: Mortensen reportedly drove Paul away from her home and assaulted her while arguing.
- February 14, 2026: Paul alleges Mortensen stalked her, sending a photo of her initials tattooed on his body.
- May 27, 2025: A verbal dispute escalated to physical violence after Mortensen refused to leave Paul’s residence.
- February 22, 2026: Paul claims Mortensen visited her home multiple times, disregarding her request to leave.
In the protective order, Paul expressed that Mortensen’s actions were not only abusive but also possessive. Photographic evidence of her injuries is included in the court filing, illustrating the bruising she sustained during the alleged assaults.
Previous Legal Issues
This legal battle is part of a broader context of domestic violence incidents involving both parties. Mortensen had filed a protective order against Paul on March 19, 2026. This action followed a violent incident captured on video, where the couple was seen in a heated altercation.
Police Investigations
- The Draper City Police Department launched an investigation after a report of Mortensen being assaulted by Paul.
- West Jordan Police are also investigating allegations of domestic violence between the two.
In 2023, Paul faced legal consequences for her actions toward Mortensen during an altercation, which led to her arrest. She pled guilty to aggravated assault under conditions that the charge would be dismissed if she complied with court orders.
In light of these events, Mortensen has denied Paul’s claims. He issued a statement categorically rejecting the allegations, saying he is accustomed to “baseless claims” regarding their relationship.
As this case unfolds, it highlights the serious issue of domestic violence. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, resources such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline are available to provide help.
