The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Production Paused Due to Cast Concerns
Production of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is currently on hold, with the cast deciding to take a break due to recent events. The decision to pause filming was made collectively by the cast members, who expressed discomfort with continuing to film amidst ongoing issues. TMZ reported a pause in production on March 15 following a reported altercation between Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen. People later revealed that Taylor and Dakota were involved in a domestic assault investigation, leading to the cast's decision to take a break from filming. The production pause is described as temporary, and it is expected that filming will resume soon without significant delays to the season's release schedule.
Despite the pause in production for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, The Bachelorette is set to premiere on schedule on March 22, despite a sponsor withdrawing support. The cast members of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives have taken a united stand to prioritize their well-being and have chosen to pause filming until they feel comfortable returning to production. The incident that led to the production pause did not occur while cameras were rolling, and it is anticipated that filming will resume smoothly in the near future.
