Taylor Frankie Paul Files Stalking Injunction Against Dakota Mortensen's Friend

Taylor Frankie Paul has filed a civil stalking injunction against Cru Eaton, a close friend of her ex-partner Dakota Mortensen, after he posted a TikTok video of her crying during a heated argument. The legal document was filed on Friday in Utah's Salt Lake County.

In the filing, Taylor claims she has video and photographic evidence to support her case. This is not a restraining order but a request for a judge to order Cru to stop stalking or harassing her. The video in question shows Dakota filming Taylor as she sobs, while he accuses her of being abusive.

Cru captioned the video, defending Dakota: "Everyone is so concerned and so focused on what must have been happening before the videos started. You guys do understand that Dakota doesn't start these fights, so he has no way of knowing when he needs to be recording them, correct?" The post drew criticism, prompting Taylor to take legal action.

As previously reported, Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen are embroiled in a custody battle over their two-year-old daughter, Ever. Earlier this year, Taylor temporarily lost custody amid abuse allegations by Dakota and after TMZ published video of a 2023 domestic violence incident.

In June, a judge ruled that Taylor no longer needed supervised visits and granted her one day per week with Ever, plus alternating weekends. This partial restoration of her rights has not eased tensions.

The new lawsuit against Cru Eaton may be part of Taylor's strategy to protect her reputation and counter pressure from Dakota's circle. Publishing private videos without consent often leads to legal disputes, especially involving celebrities.

Fans of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" are closely following the developments. Many believe Cru's actions were an invasion of privacy that worsened an already difficult situation. Legal experts note that stalking injunctions can have serious consequences, including fines and restrictions.

It remains to be seen how the court will respond to Taylor's request, but this is not the first legal step in her conflict with Dakota. The couple continues to fight for custody, and each new episode attracts public attention.
