Dakota Mortensen Has Meltdown on ‘Mormon Wives’ Reunion, Refuses to Film Unless Taylor Leaves Stage

  • Dakota Mortensen kicked the cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives off their own reunion episode.
  • The reality star refused to film with his ex, Taylor Frankie Paul.
  • The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion is currently available to stream on Hulu.

Oof. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives just dropped its Season 3 reunion, and the vibes between Dakota Mortensen and Taylor Frankie Paul were...not great.

For starters, Dakota straight up refused to film the reunion unless Taylor—and all of MomTok—left the stage. As host Stassi Schroeder put it, "Dakota agreed to join us tonight on the condition that Taylor and the rest of MomTok be backstage."

Dakota justified himself by saying, "All I wanted was to be able to have a good conversation and I think most people agree that when me and Taylor are together it's really hard for us to talk. So that was really my only thing."

He went on to defend himself for flirting with Taylor's family friend, saying, "Out of nowhere I feel like she kinda like came onto me, which that, I think kinda surprised me given in that moment I didn't think that was going to happen."

To be fair, Dakota admitted to sending a shirtless picture, but then emphasized that he and Taylor weren't together at the time. Her thoughts? The future Bachelorette star ended up storming the stage to rip into Dakota, accusing him of cheating and revealing that he defended himself by saying, "I weeded out a bad friend in your family."

Truly no words.
