Taylor Frankie Paul marks finishing probation with bizarre AI pH๏τos

Taylor Frankie Paul took to Instagram on Friday to mark the end of her probation, and bizarrely used AI-generated images depicting her in court.

The troubled 32-year-old Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, whose Bachelorette season was pulled earlier this year, was arrested in February 2023 following a domestic violence incident with then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, 33. A subsequent probationary period lasted three years.

She wrote in a solemn caption accompanying the seemingly artificial pH๏τos, ‘Three years probation complete. All my PO’s said it was one of the longest probations they had seen for first time offense.’

Paul admitted, ‘Back then I wasn’t even aware of what DV was. Unfortunately many will experience it as many already have. DV is a sneaky cycle to get stuck in because by the time you realize what actually is happening you’re already stuck in it.’

Despite the serious nature of the post, the TV star’s followers were distracted by her use of fake pictures, with many asking, ‘What’s with the AI pics?’

The Daily Mail has reached out to Paul for comment but has not yet received a response.

Someone else commented, ‘The AI is wild,’ while another simply wrote, ‘LMFAO THE AI.’ 

It is not the first time the mom of three has been accused of resorting to artificial intelligence for social media content.

One of her 2.6 million followers surmised, ‘The AI is rage bait at this point.’

Another critic accused, ‘Your testimony is as real as these pictures.’ 

A series of four pH๏τos showed Paul in different parts of a courthouse, with most of them showing her with an oddly similar head tilt and smirk on her face.

One even included a simulated selfie taken with a fan as Paul wore a low-cut black top and blazer. 

The Colorado-born star continued in her caption, ‘I don’t care if you see me as the villain or victim. This all surfacing the way it viciously and vindictively did, has been hell on earth and if I didn’t have the support I have I don’t think I would have made it through.’

She declared, ‘However, those same people not only get to see they failed to destroy me, but they freed me. You can see who’s educated from the not… this has been by the textbook for millions to watch.’

Paul’s season 22 turn as The Bachelorette was set to premiere in March, but was abruptly axed when 2023 footage of her hurling chairs at Mortensen was released. 

The Hulu star shares son Ever, two, with Mortensen, and daughter Indy, eight, and son Ocean, six, with ex-husband Tate Paul.

She was seen attacking Mortensen with Indy present in a 2023 clip TMZ posted on March 19.

The jarring video led ABC to shelve her season of The Bachelorette on the verge of its premiere. The resurfaced footage also stalled filming for season five of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

This past July, Utah social services filed a peтιтion against Paul, urging a juvenile court to order protective supervision for her three children.

An expedited hearing was requested on the grounds the reality TV star’s children could have been ‘abused, neglected or dependent,’ according to legal documents reviewed by TMZ.

In the filing, the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) requested a judge rule on whether the kids meet the criteria under which further steps would be taken to protect them. 

Amid the developments, representatives for Paul told People that Paul ‘is not deterred by this transition.’

‘It was recently decided that the ongoing custody actions would be best suited for juvenile court, a common step for families engaged in highly contentious, complex custody matters,’ a spokesman told the outlet.

It was said that Paul ‘welcomes the added structure and oversight it provides and looks forward to continuing her progress toward normalizing custody and becoming the healthiest version of herself.’

Paul and Mortensen were granted restraining orders against one another in March 2026, and the latter was given temporary full custody of their son.

The contentious exes have since resumed shared custody of the toddler.
