According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/tag\/layla-taylor\/\">Layla Taylor<\/a>, filming for Season 6 has already started.<\/p>\n<p>Season 5 of SLOMW was paused when Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/tag\/dakota-mortensen\/\">Dakota Mortensen<\/a>, were involved in a domestic violence investigation. As a result, Taylor\u2019s season of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/show\/the-bachelorette\/\">The Bachelorette<\/a> was shelved. In the end, no charges were filed against Taylor. When cameras picked up for SLOMW Season 5, Taylor had limited involvement. While the rest of the cast filmed confessional content, she reportedly only filmed for the opening credits.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, discussion of Taylor returning to the series has ignited controversy. Some fans feel that since Taylor started MomTok, she needs to be part of the series. Other viewers believe that Taylor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/05\/12\/slomw-mikayla-matthews-feud-taylor-frankie-paul-snake-friend\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/05\/12\/slomw-mikayla-matthews-feud-taylor-frankie-paul-snake-friend\/\">burned her bridges<\/a> with MomTok following these domestic abuse allegations. Still, if Taylor isn\u2019t part of Season 6, SLOMW could be headed for a flop season.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-taylor-frankie-paul-has-finished-her-probation-and-faces-no-charges\">Taylor Frankie Paul has finished her probation and faces no charges<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<p>In 2023, Taylor pleaded guilty in abeyance to a charge of aggravated assault. In shocking video footage that resurfaced, Taylor hurled chairs at Dakota, hitting him. Her daughter Indy, with ex-husband <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/tag\/tate-paul\/\">Tate Paul<\/a>, was present during the incident. According to the plea deal, the child abuse charges were dropped.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Taylor hit up her Instagram to share that she had completed her probation. \u201cThree years probation complete. All my PO\u2019s said it was one of the longest probations they had seen for first time offense,\u201d Taylor captioned the post.<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cDV is a sneaky cycle to get stuck in because by the time you realize what actually is happening you\u2019re already stuck in it. I don\u2019t care if you see me as the villain or victim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Salt Lake City District Attorney\u2019s Office decided <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/04\/15\/slomw-taylor-frankie-paul-charges-domestic-violence-dakota-mortensen\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/04\/15\/slomw-taylor-frankie-paul-charges-domestic-violence-dakota-mortensen\/\">not to file charges<\/a> against Taylor in two open domestic abuse investigations involving Dakota. These alleged incidents occurred in 2024 and February 2026.<\/p>\n<p>While the mom of three didn\u2019t face any criminal charges, she has been battling with her exes in court. Both Taylor and Dakota were granted restraining orders against each other, and Dakota was given custody of their son, Ever. Taylor has since been given expanded parenting time.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slomw-viewers-deserve-to-see-taylor-s-feuds-play-out\">SLOMW viewers deserve to see Taylor\u2019s feuds play out<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/SLOMW-cast-August-11-2026.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast\" class=\"wp-image-1197648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/SLOMW-cast-August-11-2026.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/SLOMW-cast-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/SLOMW-cast-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/SLOMW-cast-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/SLOMW-cast-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/SLOMW-cast-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=101,57 101w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/SLOMW-cast-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=203,114 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Photo Credit: Disney\/Mason Cameron<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Naturally, all the drama in Taylor\u2019s personal life resulted in divisions within MomTok. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/tag\/mikayla-matthews\/\">Mikayla Matthews<\/a> feuded with Taylor on social media after Taylor called her \u201ca snake friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Taylor\u2019s longtime feud with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/tag\/whitney-leavitt\/\">Whitney Leavitt<\/a> reignited. Whitney and Taylor butted heads across every season of SLOMW. After Whitney unfollowed Taylor, Taylor accused her of \u201cwaiting for her downfall since day one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney previously announced that SLOMW Season 5 was her final season, so fans won\u2019t see how this feud plays out. Plus, both Layla and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/tag\/miranda-hope\/\">Miranda Hope<\/a> also unfollowed Taylor. Still, Taylor hit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/07\/17\/mormon-wives-cast-turn-on-taylor-frankie-paul\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/07\/17\/mormon-wives-cast-turn-on-taylor-frankie-paul\/\">the unfollow button<\/a> first. As of now, Taylor is currently only following her bestie, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/tag\/jessi-draper\/\">Jessi Draper<\/a>, and former SLOMW cast member <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/tag\/demi-engemann\/\">Demi Engemann<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the series are invested in this friend group. Every season, viewers tune in to see if MomTok will survive the latest friendship dramas and wild scandals. The fabric of SLOMW has always been the friendships and falling outs among these mom influencers.<\/p>\n<p>So, Taylor needs to be part of this season, whether in a full-time or part-time capacity. If taking care of her mental health is her priority, then she could appear in a lesser role. However, if Taylor doesn\u2019t film for Season 6, viewers will wonder what really happened between these ladies.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-taylor-frankie-paul-should-return-but-her-kids-should-remain-off-camera\">Taylor Frankie Paul should return, but her kids should remain off-camera<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/Macyi-Neeley-Taylor-Frankie-Paul.-Miranda-Hope-August-11-2026.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Taylor Frankie Paul on SLOMW\" class=\"wp-image-1197656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/Macyi-Neeley-Taylor-Frankie-Paul.-Miranda-Hope-August-11-2026.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/Macyi-Neeley-Taylor-Frankie-Paul.-Miranda-Hope-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/Macyi-Neeley-Taylor-Frankie-Paul.-Miranda-Hope-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/Macyi-Neeley-Taylor-Frankie-Paul.-Miranda-Hope-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/Macyi-Neeley-Taylor-Frankie-Paul.-Miranda-Hope-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/Macyi-Neeley-Taylor-Frankie-Paul.-Miranda-Hope-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=101,57 101w, https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/Macyi-Neeley-Taylor-Frankie-Paul.-Miranda-Hope-August-11-2026.jpg?resize=203,114 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Disney\/Fred Hayes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Taylor should return to film SLOMW, with one caveat. Her three children should remain off camera. Not only is Taylor fighting with Dakota in court over custody of their son, Ever, but Tate has also headed to the courthouse.<\/p>\n<p>Tate and Taylor share two children, Ocean and Indy. He requested a restraining order against Taylor, which was denied.

Domestic violence is <em>never<\/em> okay, and Taylor should get the help that she needs.<\/p>\n<p>Still, this is Taylor\u2019s life at the moment. Reality TV should showcase what its stars are experiencing, and SLOMW has always managed to feature real and raw issues. It makes sense for Taylor to return part-time to hash out her issues with her co-stars and address everything that has happened this year. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/series\/the-secret-lives-of-mormon-wives-58cd73be-408d-4eed-8e3d-82339f3f93e2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/a>\u00a0is available to stream on Hulu.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you or someone you know is affected by any of the issues raised in this story, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US \u2013 DOES SLOMW SEASON 6 NEED TAYLOR FRANKIE PAUL?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TW: This article contains a discussion of domestic violence allegations.
