DISTURBING footage of Taylor Frankie Paul throwing chairs at her ex-boyfriend in front of her daughter has been released.
The video shows a widely reported 2023 incident during which The Bachelorette star assaulted Dakota Mortensen and left her five-year-old daughter with a goose egg on her forehead.
In the footage, obtained by TMZ, Taylor physically attacks Dakota inside her Utah home, throwing punches, kicking him, and throwing chairs.
The video release comes days after production on Season 5 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has been paused following a separate domestic violence incident on February 23 between the exes, who share a two-year-old together.
Taylor pleaded guilty to aggravated assault as a result of the incident featured in the 2023 video.
In the shocking clip released on Thursday, which appears to have been recorded by her ex, Dakota, shows Taylor, 31, hitting her baby daddy and attempting to climb on top of him.
Taylor pleaded guilty to aggravated assault as a result of the incident featured in the 2023 video.
She was placed on three years probation as a result, which is set to end in August.
As part of her deal, four additional charges against Taylor were dropped.
A condition of the deal, however, is that the TV personality must stay out of trouble.
The shocking clip appears to have been recorded by Dakota and shows Taylor hitting her baby daddy and attempting to climb on top of him.
In the footage the phone is, at one point, covered in the tussle between the pair.
“See, Taylor? This is all you know how to do is hurt me,” Dakota is heard saying to the Hulu star.
“And you think this is OK? It’s not OK.”
She appears to have her hands around his face and/or neck while he’s speaking.
Dakota walks away from Taylor, creating some distance between them while still recording.
He pleads with her, “let me go,” as she continues following him through the house.
“I don’t give a f**k,” she says before throwing a punch.
Dakota continues to beg her, saying, “Stop. Leave me alone.”
Taylor the reaches for a stool, tossing it in Dakota’s direction.
He stops the chair with his arm and continues trying to get away.
The SLOMW star throws another stool, nearly hitting a TV.
“Your daughter is right here,” Dakota reminds her.
Suddenly the toddler can be heard crying as he shouts at her, “stop throwing stuff.”
“You did this,” she yells back as she throws more objects his way.
The camera then goes black, but the couple can still be heard yelling as Taylor’s 8-year-old daughter screams, “Mommy.”
Dakota can then be heard apologizing to the child.
“You did this, Dakota,” Taylor is heard screaming.
Dakota then hits back, sharing more shocking details.
“Your daughter just got hit in the head with a metal chair,” he shouts.
Taylor replies, “Because of you!”
Dakota then raises his voice again, saying, “No! Because of you! Go and help your daughter. Help your daughter, Taylor.”
He is heard checking on Taylor’s daughter, who can be heard whimpering.
“Are you OK?” he asks the young girl while Taylor screams, demanding, “Get away from my daughter.”
The reality star, due to make her appearance as The Bachelorette on Sunday, continues screaming, demanding that her ex “shut the f**k up.”
Dakota alleges in the video that Taylor is “hammered.”
The video ends with Taylor answering the door for what sounds like a police officer, who she and Dakota then begin speaking with.
The officer is heard suggesting that they separate before the clip cuts off.
A rep for Taylor told TMZ, “It’s sad to see the latest installment of his never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child.
“Releasing an old and selectively edited video on their son’s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior.”
Taylor and Dakota are parents to son Ever, 2.
She also shares son Ocean with her ex-husband.
It’s unclear how the latest domestic incident will impact her probation, however, it’s had serious impacts on her professionally.
SLOMW has been on pause for two feels following news that Taylor and Dakota were involved in another domestic dispute.
Authorities told The U.S. Sun that both parties indicated the incident involved some level of violence, though the exact details are unclear.
Taylor’s co-stars are reportedly refusing to film with her until the incident is addressed.
Additionally, she has lost brand deals with companies like Cinnabon and fans are calling for a complete boycott of her season of The Bachelorette.
As previously reported, an investigation by the Utah Division of Children and Family Services into Taylor and Dakota has been opened.
The pair have both been ordered to undergo a psych evaluation as well.
Their young son is said to have been present during the latest incident between them.
Taylor appeared on Good Morning America earlier this week to promote her appearance on The Bachelorette, at which point she was asked about the domestic dispute and the SLOMW production pause.
She appeared to dodge the questions, which further angered fans.
