What’s the deal with Dakota Mortensen and the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” producers? It looks like our reality star is served up a hot plate of legal drama, and boy, is it simmering! Mortensen, who made his debut in the show’s inaugural season in 2024, has decided to take a stand—or should I say, take the producers to court! He’s suing Jeff Jenkins Productions and Ludwig Productions, claiming they tailored the scenes like a designer dress to paint him as the “abusive partner.” I mean, with all the planetary alignments lately, you’d think Mortensen would’ve seen this red flag coming, right? As we dive into the explosive details of this lawsuit, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster packed with twists, turns, and possibly a side of popcorn—because this saga is about to get even juicier!
It appears Dakota Mortensen is done playing nice with the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” producers. Mortensen, who joined the show in season 1 in 2024, recently sued the producers of Jeff Jenkins Productions and Ludwig Productions. In the lawsuit, the villainous reality star claimed the producers manipulated scenes and intentionally made him look like an abusive partner.
According to a TMZ report, Mortensen has taken Hulu to court and is suing them for allegedly painting him as a cheater and an abuser.
The controversial reality star, who shares a child with Taylor Frankie Paul, said the producers deceived the audience by editing “staged events” and by their “deliberate deletion of footage” that showed Paul allegedly assaulting him.
But that’s not all. Mortensen is claiming Hulu misled the audience by editing him to appear as an obsessive ex who put Paul in harm’s way. However, he said everything the viewers saw was a lie.
Mortensen also alleged Hulu cut several scenes from the show that showed Paul allegedly striking him with a pizza box.
Mortensen claims the fabricated storylines on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” have ruined his reputation and image, causing him to miss out on business deals and money. As a result, the 33-year-old is suing the streaming giant for a whopping $300,000.
For those unfamiliar, Mortensen and Paul first began dating in 2022 and later welcomed their son, Ever True Mortensen, on March 19, 2024.
In the time between the birth of their son, the pair navigated challenges in their relationship that ended with arrests and criminal charges.
According to E! News, Paul was arrested in February 2023 after allegedly throwing metal chairs at Mortensen and later striking him. She was charged with one count of felony aggravated assault, two counts of felony domestic violence, one count of misdemeanor child abuse, and one count of criminal mischief.
Paul pleaded guilty and, in September 2024, admitted she was “full of regret” after what happened. “I was feeling so low I went and drank that night. And Dakota picks me up, and he’s angry that I drank,” she said. “I remember throwing things, and I don’t know my daughters on the couch. We had babysitters there, so I think they’re upstairs sleeping.”
The first season of “SLOMW” aired on Hulu shortly after her above statements. Over the next four seasons, Paul and Mortensen showcased their up-and-down, often toxic relationship.
And just when fans thought they were on the mend, the pair were back in the headlines in February 2026 when news that production on season 5 of the show had been halted due to another alleged domestic violence incident between them broke.
In April 2026, though, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office announced it would not file charges against Paul following investigations led by separate Utah police departments.
Amid the show’s hiatus, several “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” cast members met with ABC and Hulu executives to voice concerns that the allegations surrounding Paul and Mortensen could hurt the show.
“It’s a dangerous situation, it’s a sad situation, and we don’t know how to navigate it, because Taylor is our friend,” one of the women reportedly told executives, according to NBC News.
While the women continued with season 5, one of them quit mid-filming of season 6. According to a previous report from The Blast, Mikayla Matthews walked away because she no longer wanted to film with Paul.
In September 2026, several other members, including Layla Taylor and Mayci Neeley, said they were hesitant about returning for future seasons as well.
Season 6 doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but the show will likely document Paul’s departure. Her ongoing challenges with Mortensen will likely be showcased, too.
However, fans won’t see Mortensen’s POV.
The Blast previously reported that “SLOMW” OG Jessi Draper confirmed that not only was Mortensen done filming the show, but her ex-partner, Jordan Ngatikaura, was also “done filming” new episodes.
“Wish them the best, but like, let’s just keep it with the women,” she said.
