Paul recently shared a new slideshow of photos on her Instagram, speaking about what she’s learned throughout Mental Health Awareness Month.

“Still processing two shows were put on pause. Balled it up in both shows, made some boys cry and now I’m bawling,” she wrote. “What is life? …Take it seriously, learn lessons but don’t forget to be silly too. It’s okay to smile again after making mistakes. Today is the last day of mental health awareness month and just know if you’re out there struggling you’re not alone.”

Paul previously opened up about Mental Health Awareness Month in early May, according to The Blast. After sharing an AI-generated photo of herself with bruises and scratches, Paul said the photo represented how she was feeling in real life.

“Patches for pain, heat relaxes the tension, IV helps hydrate and supplement when lacking all nutrients due to no appetite, bandaids were deliberate—pain you cannot see,” she captioned the picture.

Taylor Frankie Paul’s Season Of ‘The Bachelorette’ Was Axed After Shocking Video Surfaces

Paul’s post comes months after sources revealed production on season 5 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” had been halted due to her alleged domestic disputes with her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen.

Shortly after, a video of Paul appearing to assault Mortensen with her fists was shared online. Also in the clip, Paul can be seen throwing two heavy, metal chairs at Mortensen, one of which hit her minor daughter, leaving a visible mark.

The video was shared days before Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” was set to begin. However, ABC and Disney pulled the plug on the program after public backlash.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” a Disney representative said.

Taylor Frankie Paul Broke Her Silence After Learning Programs Had Been Impacted

Paul spoke out after the video’s release, admitting she was struggling with what had been going on.

“It’s just heavy. It’s a heavy time, and it’s unfortunate,” she said. “I’m struggling for sure, but also at the same time I feel like if I don’t show up, then I’m just giving these opportunities away and not enjoying what we’ve worked on and something super exciting that’s coming. I just feel like it was the right thing to do… show up even though it’s hard.”

Mortensen, meanwhile, shared his own statement through his rep, revealing that he had hoped to keep his and Paul’s personal matters out of the public eye.

“He kind of just lets it all happen to him, and I think he realizes with the severity of everything now that he just can’t do that,” the statement read.

Season 5 Of ‘The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives’ Will Be Different

According to a previous report from The Blast, season 5 of “SLOMW” will return to Hulu, but not the way fans are used to.

Instead of a full season of episodes, viewers will only get the five episodes filmed before the show’s cameras went down in March 2026.

But that doesn’t mean the popular reality series is going anywhere anytime soon.

“Right now, they’re just filming confessionals for season 5,” a source said. “They’ve decided they’re not going to film the rest of season 5, but apparently they’re still going to film season 6.”

A ‘Mormon Wives’ Spin-Off Is Coming To Hulu

Another report from The Blast reveals that Hulu is expanding the “Mormon Wives” franchise with a series set in Orange County, California.

While details about the new series have been kept under wraps, the show will include Bobbi Althoff, Madison Bontempo, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Salomé Andrea, Chandler Hagginson, Ashleigh Pease, and McCall DaPron.

Jen Affleck will also be part of the group.

“A new group of dynamic young mothers in Orange County collide in a community where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity,” the show’s synopsis reads. “While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo.”

Continuing, it reads, “Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok.”
