Since a video of the assault surfaced, filming has shut down for season five of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and ABC has cancelled Season 22 of Bachelorette, starring Paul. On March 19, TMZ posted a video from 2023 of Paul attacking Mortensen in front of her daughter. “This is called physical abuse,” Mortensen said in the footage. In the video Paul attacked her ex, punched him, pulled his hair and threw a chair at him. She was charged with aggravated assault, domestic violence in the presence of a child causing injury, child abuse and criminal mischief, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
