"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" cast is drawing a firm line with Taylor Frankie Paul -- while still firmly in her corner and pushing for her to get help ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the entire cast believes Taylor isn't in a good place mentally, and they want her to seek help before anything else moves forward with filming. We're told the cast isn't icing her out ... far from it.
Our sources say they're all on her side and rooting for her to work through her issues, but feel production and Hulu haven't done enough to push her in that direction. We're told the cast remains fed up with what they see as production repeatedly sweeping Taylor's alleged abuse issues under the rug.
Rebecca Gayheart and her daughters understand Eric Dane's ex-girlfriends are grieving his loss -- and they don't want to diminish anyone's feelings -- but they want the facts straight about his final days.
TMZ previously reported ... Eric was single for a while after he became ill ... and on his deathbed, it was just Rebecca and his two teen girls.
A source close to the family tells TMZ ... they "feel a deep responsibility to ensure that his story and memory remain accurate" about who was "present until the very last chapter of his life."
Dwight Howard's wife Amber Howard claims he pulled the rug out from under her ... allegedly canceling a TV show the couple was set to star in -- which she says would've scored her a massive payday.
In new body cam footage -- obtained by TMZ -- Amber vents to responding officers about the troubles in her relationship with the former NBA star. Moments earlier, she had called police claiming Dwight locked her out of their home following an argument ... while Dwight told officers she's gone "berserk."
Amber tells cops she has become financially dependent on Dwight after she says he told her he didn't want her appearing on the reality show she was on for four years -- presumably "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" -- and she claims he uses her financial dependence on him as leverage in their relationship ... but that's not all.

Cornyn's campaign dropped a political attack ad Tuesday using AI-generated content to go after Texas attorney general Ken Paxton and his sex scandal ... the 80-second ad is a parody of the B-52s' hit, "Love Shack."
In a statement to TMZ, the band says ... "Today we learned that our song 'Love Shack' is being used without our approval for a political attack between two politicians in the beautiful state of Texas. We do not endorse either candidate. We have already formally demanded the song immediately cease to be used in this tasteless and illegal way."

Taylor Frankie Paul is super comfortable in front of the camera, even when it's snapping a mug shot ... and only TMZ has the never-before-seen police portrait from her 2023 assault case.

Christine Quinn's "Selling Sunset" comeback has hit a snag ... and it all comes down to location and accommodations ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Christine is still in active negotiations to return for Season 10, but the deal hasn't been finalized as both sides remain stuck on logistics tied to where she'll live during filming, and who's footing the bill.
We're told the main issue is that Christine currently lives full-time in the Dallas area with her son, Christian, after relocating in early 2025 for a fresh start following her divorce. Meanwhile, 'SS' shoots in Los Angeles, where producers want her based for 5 to 6 months. That’s created a major sticking point.
