Taylor Frankie Paul Video

'Bachelorette' contestant Christopher Wood is sick and tired of what he thinks are one-sided attacks against Taylor Frankie Paul ... and he vented about it on a new episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.

Christopher was in TFP's now-canceled Season 22 of "The Bachelorette," so it's no surprise he thinks some of the backlash against Taylor has been unnecessary ... but he has points to back up his opinion.

According to Christopher, Taylor and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, may be the only people who know the full truth and context surrounding Taylor's multiple domestic violence accusations ... so the rest of us should think about butting out of it.

Dakota Mortensen was hesitant to report the February 2026 altercation with baby momma Taylor Frankie Paul to cops, due to her high public profile ... according to police documents obtained by TMZ.

In the narrative from the Draper Police Department about the recent incident, cops state an unknown caller reported that a friend was the victim of a domestic violence at the hands of an ex-girlfriend at her residence ... later describing two incidents of physical assault involving grabbing, scratching, shoving, and striking.

The report further states the victim was "apprehensive" to report on the incident, due to his alleged abuser's high public profile -- and mentions photos of the scratches on the victim's neck were obtained and uploaded to the case file in order to be investigated.

Another batch of domestic violence allegations against Taylor Frankie Paul has made it to a district attorney's desk ... and they're weighing their options.

Draper Police Chief Rich Ferguson tells TMZ ... the City Prosecutor has submitted the case to the Salt Lake County District Attorney for evaluation ... this is regarding the alleged February incident in which TFP is accused of choking Dakota Mortensen and ripping a necklace off his neck.

According to Ferguson, the D.A. will determine if any charges will be filed ... but even if the D.A. doesn't file charges, the City Prosecutor could still decide to bring forth more legal action in the case.
