Mormon Wives' Taylor Calls Season 2 Family Dinner With Dakota 'Triggering'

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewers had lots of thoughts about that dinner where Taylor Frankie Paul‘s family pushed her to get back together with Dakota Mortensen — but how does the reality star feel about that moment?

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly before season 2 premiered on Thursday, May 15, Taylor, 30, called that conversation the “most difficult” scene she had to watch back.

“One of the heavy scenes is the barbecue scene with my family. I, of course, haven’t seen it yet but I remember it and I do remember it being emotional. For me, obviously I’ve worked through that a bit and prepared to see it,” Taylor explained. “I continued therapy during that and then after I did a lot of therapy. I went to a retreat right before this so I was kind of mentally preparing for that because I knew that this was all coming.”

Taylor knew that reliving the experience “could be triggering” for her, adding, “It’s just kind of like a repeat of what’s already been happening. I prepared in the sense of knowing all these things are going to be triggering and it’s like reliving the trauma.”

While recalling the ups and downs she faced on screen, Taylor acknowledged that you “can only prepare so much.”

“Therapy and using the tools for when these hard situations come up [is important]. I’ve had enough at this point that I can kind of work through [anything]. It’s been a learning experience, for sure,” she added. “The last three years of my life was very traumatic. Even prior to the show, during the show and after the show, there’s been all these experiences back to back to back that I feel like were very hard to navigate during those times because I didn’t have all the tools that I have now.”

She continued: “So of course in the very beginning I was not handling it well because I had nothing to go off of and no tools that I knew how to handle that trauma. I’ve obviously learned from certain mistakes. But also with therapy, you learn all these tools and how to navigate certain situations.”

For those who haven’t finished watching the new season — or need a refresher — Taylor’s sit-down with her family and Dakota concerned some viewers because of how her loved ones seemed to side with her ex. Taylor and Dakota, who share 13-month old son Ever, were no longer together when filming for season 2 started, which her family questioned on screen.

In the shockingly awkward scene, Taylor was asked by her stepfather whether she contributed to the issues in her personal life by sleeping with Dakota too soon. Her brother and mother also attempted to convince her to give Dakota another chance. Taylor’s family then engaged in a prayer while she cried at the dinner table and Justin Timberlake‘s “Cry Me a River’ played in the background.

Taylor confirmed to Us that she’s no longer in a romantic relationship with Dakota.

“Of course when things are heightened, you’re breaking up and it’s not something you wanted and you just had a baby,” she shared. “It was not the prettiest experience, but currently we’ve come a long way.”

Taylor was proud of how far her and Dakota have come when coparenting. (The reality star also shares daughter Indy, 7, and son Ocean, 4, with ex-husband Tate Paul.)

“We’ve obviously come a long way to navigate it. It’s different from my first husband [Tate Paul] because there’s obviously a friendship there. We adjusted,” she continued. “Whereas [with] Dakota, everything’s fresh. It’s something that we necessarily didn’t want to do but needed to separate. So it’s an adjustment and we’ve had to learn through the obstacles of this experience to do what’s best for our son.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is currently streaming on Hulu.

Looking Back at Mariska Hargitay’s Mom Jayne Mansfield’s Untimely Death

Mariska Hargitay revisited the life and legacy of her mom Jayne Mansfield with her directorial debut, My Mom Jayne, which premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

“The fact that I get to take her back and to tell her story there, I just don’t have the words,” Hargitay told Vanity Fair in a May 2025 interview.

Hargitay revealed during the same interview that her biological father is Italian singer and comedian Nelson Sardelli and not bodybuilder and actor, Mickey Hargitay, which she originally thought. This topic is also explored in the documentary.

The Law and Order: SVU actress admitted to being “embarrassed” by some of the choices her mother had made.

“I just wanted my mom to be like the other moms!” Hargitay recalled. “Like, ‘Why are you always in a bathing suit? Why so much breast?’ I just wanted a maternal mother image.”

She added, “I didn’t want to be that girl, and I was judgmental about it. That’s the honest answer. I definitely think that it informed some of my choices. What kind of actor am I going to be? I am going to be a different kind.”

Which, of course, led to Olivia Benson — the iconic role Hargitay has played since 1999.

“I’ve had so much strife and turmoil with this word mother — and here I was, this iconic mother figure in the culture,” she said. “Isn’t that ironic?”

Keep scrolling for details about Mansfield and her death:

Who Was Jayne Mansfield?

Mansfield was an actress and all-around sex symbol throughout her career. Her Broadway debut came in 1955 as Rita Marlowe in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, and Mansfield reprised the role for the 1957 film adaptation. She became one of the first American actresses to appear in a nude scene in the 1963 movie Promises! Promises!

When Did Jayne Mansfield Die?

She died on June 29, 1967. She was 34.

How Did Jayne Mansfield Die?

Mansfield was traveling from Biloxi, Mississippi, to New Orleans with her attorney and partner Sam Brody and their 19-year-old driver. In the early hours of the morning, the car rear-ended a tractor trailer, killing the three adults in the car.

Was Mariska Hargitay in the Car When Jayne Mansfield Died?

Three of Mansfield’s five kids — Hargitay, along with Zoltan Hargitay and Mickey Hargitay Jr. — were in the car and survived the accident. The NBC star was 3 years old at the time.

“I don’t remember the accident,” the actress told Vanity Fair in May 2025. “I don’t even remember being told that my mother had died.”

She added: “I look at photos, and I don’t really remember anything until I was 5.”

Kylie Jenner Sizzles in $10K Vintage Chanel Thong Bikini

Kylie Jenner’s bikini style is seriously luxurious.

Jenner, 27, took to Instagram on Sunday, May 18, to show off her figure in a vintage 1995 Chanel bikini. The red swimsuit, which, according to Page Six, once retailed for $10,000, featured a triangle halter top adorned with silver crystals. Her itty-bitty bottoms were finished with the same studs and barely-there straps. When Jenner turned around, she gave her fans a glimpse of her bum with the thong back.

At the top of the bottoms was Chanel’s iconic double-C logo.

Jenner teamed her sexy look with bombshell makeup, including long lashes, blushed cheeks and pink lips. She styled her brunette hair in mermaid waves and flipped her tresses over her head.

“No place I’d rather beeee <3,” Jenner captioned the post.

Jenner is a huge fan of the bikini and previously wore a black version while vacationing in April 2024.

She posed on the beach and showed off the design, which she elevated with chunky silver hoop earrings.

Jenner isn’t the only celeb who has rocked the set. In 1994, Claudia Schiffer wowed in the swimwear while walking in the Chanel Spring 1995 show in Paris.

Schiffer, now 54, styled the suit with a bedazzled silver body chain and a black robe decorated with pastel pink, blue, red and purple Chanel logos. She further glammed up the look with florals in her hair.

Naomi Campbell also wore a pink version of the bikini on the runway during the same show. The look was complete with a bejeweled floral in the center of her chest.

Jenner has been a longtime fan of the French fashion house. In January, she told Vogue, “Chanel has an incredible ability to make you feel timeless yet modern at the same time.”

“Every piece tells a story, and there’s always a balance between elegance and edge that resonates with me. It’s not just about the clothes — it’s the craftsmanship, the legacy, and how they make you feel when you wear them. That’s what keeps me coming back.”

Scheana Shay Has a ‘Trauma Response’ When Lisa Vanderpump Calls Her

Scheana Shay surprised Bravo fans when she revealed she hasn’t just had a falling out with Lisa Vanderpump — she developed a “trauma response” since Vanderpump Rules came to an end.

“I literally have a trauma response when she calls me,” Scheana, 40, said on the Friday, May 16, episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast. “It’s always something. It was [always,] like, what I did wrong or what could I do for her? The last time she called me, it was a question about Marciano [Brunette] and Demi [Engemann]. Nothing about me or anything like that.”

Scheana wasn’t surprised to get a call about Vanderpump Villa and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives drama, but she was disappointed.

“She was just like, ‘I need you to tell me exactly what happened.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t owe you anything,'” she noted. “But also, ‘If you’re thinking this about my friends, I’m going to tell you the truth because I don’t want my friends getting in trouble for something that’s not true.'”

Scheana Shay and Lisa Vanderpump's Tension After 'VPR' Overhaul Explained

Scheana’s guest, podcast host Gibson Johns, subsequently brought up comments Lisa, 64, made about how Vanderpump Rules, which is often billed as Lisa’s show, provided the cast with career success. Scheana said she doesn’t exactly see it that way.

“First of all, Bravo gave me this opportunity. The success of VPR is due mostly to a messy group of friends. Of course, Lisa’s name is attached to the show. I started the show with a scandal I was involved in. People were invested in watching the show for the six of us,” she continued. “No offense to Lisa, but I think very few viewers were tuning in to see Lisa’s life because she’s not sharing a bunch of her life on the show. It was about us. Because of the success, she’s been able to expand her empire.”

Scheana, who played a big part in the VPR and RHOBH crossover thanks to her past with then-Housewife Brandi Glanville’s ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, admitted she doesn’t feel she owes Lisa “anything.”

“She’s my former employer and producer. She’s not my family and she doesn’t treat me like a friend,” Scheana added. “I just feel like that’s been made pretty clear over the last few years.”

Vanderpump Rules viewers have wondered where Scheana and Lisa stand since the show was overhauled ahead of season 12. Scheana was asked about her current relationship with Lisa in April on the “Two T’s With a Pod” podcast, and she admitted, “I don’t talk to her too often. She usually calls when she needs something.”

Biggest 'Vanderpump Rules' Feuds Ever — and Where the Relationships Stand

Scheana recalled her last interaction with Lisa being business-related. “That was recent when I talked to her,” she added. “She had a question about a friend of mine on another show of hers, and that was pretty much it.”

After Kristen Doute hinted that Scheana’s upcoming memoir contributed to the rift, Lisa was asked to weigh in on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

“[She spills tea] about me? Oh, good lord,” Lisa said earlier this month. “Well, that is probably just to sell the book, because she doesn’t have anything else to say.”

Lisa continued: “I have heard she said something nasty that I only call her when I need something. True that. I have 600 people that work for me. I think the last time I needed her is when I invited her to my house for [my grandson] Teddy’s birthday. So that is the last time I called her.”

In response, Scheana confirmed that Lisa is brought up in her book.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast: Then and Now

“What I said to Kristen is there are things that I’ve never felt comfortable talking about that I open up about in the book. Because I’ve always been very loyal to Lisa — very much. I was her right hand for a long time,” she explained on Friday’s episode. “There were a lot of situations that I’ve been put in — phone calls that were made — and things that just kind of shaped a big part of my life that I do discuss in the book.”

Scheana acknowledged that Lisa might not be happy with everything written in My Good Side.

“It’s something that I never felt comfortable sharing. It’s honestly a huge reason why I wanted to wait until Vanderpump Rules was done to write a book,” she shared. “I feel that that relationship has been strained for years. A big thing was in 2020 when I suffered a miscarriage and everyone else was reaching out, I didn’t hear from her at all.”

Scheana continued: “I’m sure there’s going to be things in there she’s not too happy about. But it is my truth. It’s my story.”
