Dakota Mortensen has been canceled from season 3 of Vanderpump Villa following domestic violence allegations against ex Taylor Frankie Paul.
The “Mormon Wives” star’s storyline will be edited out of the reality show, which is scheduled to premiere on April 16, Variety reported Friday.
“Vanderpump Villa” follows Lisa Vanderpump’s hand-picked staff as they live together in Europe over the summer.
While filming at a dig site in England this fall, Castle employees looked after a diverse group of guests, including Mortensen and his fellow “Dad Tok” members Jordan Natikaula, Chase McWhirter, Mason McWhirter, Zach Affleck, and Jacob Neely.
Hulu did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Their vacation caused a stir on Season 4 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives when it was revealed that Mortensen had been sleeping with one of the castle’s female employees.
The deletion of Mortensen’s scenes comes on the heels of Utah State Police investigating a third alleged domestic violence incident between the social media star and her ex, Paul.
“The allegations were reported in late February 2026, and detectives reviewed the video, which appears to have been recorded in early to mid-2024,” a department spokesperson told Page Six at the time.
“Investigators are actively working to gather and verify information and are interviewing those involved. As the investigation is ongoing, no charges have been filed at this time.”
Mortensen’s friends told police that the social media star was the victim of domestic violence at the hands of his ex-girlfriend, whom he dated on and off from 2022 to 2024.
Mortensen then told police there were “two incidents of physical assault, including grabbing, scratching, shoving, and punching,” the report said.
He went on to apply for a restraining order against Paul, claiming that Paul strangled him in front of their son Ever last month. He was later granted temporary custody of the two-year-old child.
Due to the incident, filming for Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was also halted.
However, Paul and Mortensen have been involved in multiple domestic violence incidents.
Earlier this month, a disturbing video surfaced online showing Paul attacking Mortensen in 2023 while his ex-girlfriend’s eldest daughter Indi was in the room.
The footage showed the mother of three trying to kick her ex-husband and throwing a metal bar stool at him.
After the clip was released, ABC also canceled Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” just three days before its scheduled March 22 premiere.
Pauls’ representatives said in a statement at the time that the video “conveniently omits context” and described Mortensen’s “endless, desperate, high-profile, destructive campaign to harm Taylor with no regard for the impact on the child.”
Meanwhile, Mortensen denied his ex’s claims, saying, “I’m focused on my son (Ever) and his safety, and I hope Taylor does the same.”
Despite having his appearance on “Vanderpump Villa” cut back, Mortensen’s TV career hasn’t derailed just yet.
The TikTok personality stars in Alex Cooper’s new reality series “Unwell Winter Games.”
The four-episode series will premiere on YouTube next week.
The show will see 16 contestants, including fellow SLOMW alum Demi Engeman, take on multiple mental and physical challenges over four days at a luxury chalet in Park City, Utah.
