In a recent video from the "No Filter With Zack" Instagram page, it was hinted that the cast may have been jealous of Taylor due to the success she's been having in her career.
"I did see a report. Like a blind item that was going around that said something about how the cast was seemingly upset with Taylor," Zack said in the video. "For her kind of stealing the thunder of the show. And then now that she has The Bachelorette that's coming out. That's really gonna steal the thunder of the show. It seemed like maybe it could have been a jealousy thing."
However, castmate Jessi Ngatikaura clapped back in the comment section, confirming that "It was never a jealousy thing."
According to a production insider from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, "None of the women want to be associated with her (Taylor)" following the accusations of abuse. "They all banded together, and they don't want to come back right now. They were just getting tired of Taylor, honestly."
Taylor Frankie Paul Has Lost Her Cinnabon Partnership
Unfortunately for Taylor, the current allegations surrounding her are having a real-world impact. On Tuesday, March 17, TMZ reported that Cinnabon had cut ties with the star.
"Recent developments and allegations surrounding the lead cast member led us to reassess this collaboration as it no longer aligns with our brand values."
Taylor allegedly choked Dakota. She's also alleged to have ripped off his necklace, along with grabbing his throat and face.
"One source says Dakota even called police that night, but the new Bachelorette star convinced him to change his story, and tell cops all was good," a separate TMZ report claimed. "She apologized, and even returned to Dakota's home the following night."
Currently, there is no further information regarding the allegations surrounding Taylor. Still, it's clear that there's some animosity toward her from the rest of the cast, even if it doesn't stem from jealousy. The next season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is going to be must-watch TV.
