Taylor Frankie Paul Counselor Found ‘SLOMW’ Star Was a ‘Problem Drinker’

‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ star Taylor Frankie Paul revealed to a counselor that she didn’t recall much after consuming vodka during the alleged 2023 incident with her ex, Dakota Mortensen. The counselor categorized her as an ‘intermediate problem drinker’ based on the assessment.

A 2023 substance abuse and mental health assessment obtained by TMZ as part of Taylor’s legal proceedings indicated her willingness to share details about the incident that led to the evaluation. Despite denying any history of drug or prescription drug abuse, her alcohol screening test results suggested otherwise.

During the counseling session, Taylor recounted the events of the night, acknowledging her consumption of vodka after a period of abstinence and expressing feelings of guilt and regret regarding her family dynamics following her divorce.

She mentioned contacting Dakota to pick her up, becoming emotional during the car ride, and recalling a recent ectopic pregnancy before experiencing memory lapses upon reaching home.

Her arrest in February 2023 stemmed from Dakota’s allegations of physical assault, where he claimed she threw objects at him and damaged property during a heated argument.

Dakota’s account of the incident involved physical altercations and property damage, with police observations and video evidence supporting his claims.

Allegations of endangering the safety of their child and further violent behavior led to legal ramifications for Taylor, culminating in a plea deal and ongoing probation.

Guided by the counselor’s recommendations, Taylor underwent educational programs on parenting and alcohol-related issues as part of her rehabilitation process.
