Video published Thursday by TMZ depicts reality star Taylor Frankie Paul throwing barstool chairs at her ex, Dakota Mortensen, during a heated argument in front of Paul’s child in 2023—just days before her season of “The Bachelorette” premieres on ABC.

TMZ published the video footage three days before Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” premieres on ABC, amid growing controversy as Paul and Mortensen face a separate domestic assault investigation in Utah.

ABC has not yet commented on the video.

The video depicts a 2023 altercation between Paul and Mortensen that resulted in Paul being charged with felony aggravated assault and domestic violence.

A spokesperson for Paul told Forbes the video was released as part of a “never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child,” saying it is an “old video” that “conveniently omits context.”

The video depicts Paul and Mortensen in a heated argument, with Paul at one point kicking Mortensen before grabbing barstool chairs and throwing them at him. After Paul throws the first chair, Mortensen says, “Your daughter is right here,” before Paul throws a second and third chair. Mortensen is later heard saying, “Your daughter just got hit in the head with a metal chair.” Paul’s daughter is heard crying throughout the video, as Paul yells at Mortensen, “You did this,” and, “Get away from my daughter.”

Paul was arrested by Herriman City, Utah, police on three misdemeanor charges of assault, criminal mischief and domestic violence in the presence of a child in February 2023. A release by the police department said there was video evidence suggesting Paul’s “minor child was injured by an action of Ms. Paul.” The Salt Lake City District Attorney’s Office charged Paul with one felony count of aggravated assault and two felony counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, though Paul claimed in an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast last year that the charges were dropped and that she never hurt her daughter.

Whether the video footage will impact ABC’s plans to air “The Bachelorette,” which premieres Sunday.

Paul has been the subject of growing controversy after the Draper, Utah, police department confirmed the ongoing domestic assault investigation to People earlier this week. Details of the investigation are unclear, but police said allegations have been made on both sides. The investigation prompted “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” to pause production on its fifth season, and ABC sponsor Cinnabon cut ties with both “Mormon Wives” and “The Bachelorette.” Paul addressed the investigation in an appearance on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday morning, saying it is “a heavy time” and that the incident being “broadcasted out there in these headlines” feels “like the end of the world.”
