UPDATE: Tensions erupted during the explosive season 3 reunion of Mormon Wives, culminating in cast member Dakota Mortensen storming off the set. Just moments ago, Dakota, infuriated by heated exchanges regarding his past relationship with Taylor Frankie Paul’s close family friend, unleashed his anger by ripping off his microphone and leaving the set.
The emotional reunion, which aired live, was marked by screaming and tears as Dakota confronted Taylor about his inappropriate behavior while she was pregnant with their son, Ever, who is now just over one year old. The situation escalated when Dakota apologized to Taylor’s parents on stage, but his apology was met with harsh rejection. “I can’t accept anything that comes out of your mouth because it’s all bull***t,” Taylor’s father, Jeremy, declared.
In a shocking moment, Taylor expressed regret over choosing Dakota as Ever’s father. “When I look at Ever, I feel, this is my fault. I’m so sorry I chose to have a child with this person,” she said, igniting Dakota’s fury. He retorted, “You don’t think I’m a good dad, Taylor?!” The emotional exchange exposed the deep fractures in their relationship as both parents grappled with their past choices.
Host Stassi Schroeder attempted to intervene amid the escalating argument, but Dakota’s frustration peaked. “That’s it, I’m done!” he shouted, before adding, “Get this f***ing stupid f***ing mic off me!” As he stormed off the set, a producer attempted to keep the show going, declaring, “Folks, we’re not done yet!” Dakota dismissed the call, stating, “F**k that, I’m good!” and was escorted off the premises by a crew member.
The fallout from the reunion is significant, with Taylor currently filming her season of The Bachelorette across various locations, including a recent date in New York City. Meanwhile, Dakota and Taylor are navigating a custody arrangement for Ever in court, adding further tension to their already strained relationship.
As fans eagerly await the full reunion episode, which is available for streaming on Hulu and Disney Plus, the implications of this conflict extend beyond the show. Viewers are left to wonder how this public fallout will affect the lives of both Dakota and Taylor, as well as their young son.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as it unfolds, and watch for reactions from fans and cast members alike.
