You will no longer see Dakota Mortensen on the upcoming season of Vanderpump Villa!
Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fans know that, after the controversial MomTok trip, DadTok — which includes Dakota, Jordan Ngatikaura, Chase McWhorter, Mason McWhorter, Zac Affleck, and Jacob Neeley — went out to Newport Pagnell in the UK to get pampered by Lisa Vanderpump and her staff for Season 3 of the Hulu reality show. However, Deadline reported on Friday that Taylor Frankie Paul‘s baby daddy will now be edited out! Whoa!

The reason? It all comes down to the ongoing domestic assault investigation after Dakota and Taylor made allegations against each other following an incident in February, which also paused filming of Mormon Wives. Rather than cancelling the whole season, which is what happened to The Bachelorette after the 31-year-old MomTok member’s 2023 domestic violence video leaked, Hulu is just cutting him out of the episodes entirely.
However, Dakota isn’t losing all of his gigs! He will still appear on another reality show, Alex Cooper‘s series Unwell Winter Games, alongside Mormon Wives star Demi Engemann, next week.
Considering how much drama he usually causes on these shows, we have to imagine it’s hard work cutting him out! And he can’t be happy about it! We’re curious to see how the Villa dodges any mention of him…
