But, in 2026, things have gone from wild to seriously concerning.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"90\" data-end=\"670\">In March 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/03\/20\/how-many-times-has-taylor-frankie-paul-been-arrested-as-leaked-video-resurfaces\/\">a video was leaked<\/a> appearing to show Taylor throwing three stools at her ex, Dakota Mortensen, while her child was present in the room.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"90\" data-end=\"670\">Now questions are being raised about that 2023 leaked video, and some are once again deep in their investigative era.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"90\" data-end=\"670\">Taylor&#8217;s castmate <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Miranda Hope<\/span><\/span> is finally speaking out, and content creator <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Dana Bowling<\/span><\/span> is adding her own theories; making the story a whole lot messier.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1bac3t7\" data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"720\">Theories are emerging on who leaked the video<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Here is who I think leaked the tape to TMZ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/taylorfrankiepaul?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#taylorfrankiepaul<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xoMuVSOIM5\">pic.twitter.com\/xoMuVSOIM5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dana Bowling &#8211; Daily Dose of Dana (@imdanabowling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/imdanabowling\/status\/2035812750526685665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 22, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"1050\">Let\u2019s rewind. The leaked video involving Taylor in 2023 sparked massive online speculation, with some trying to piece together who could have been behind it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"1050\">Recently, Dana Bowling shared her own evolving theory, admitting she initially suspected Taylor\u2019s ex, <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Dakota Mortensen<\/span><\/span>, but has since reconsidered.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1293\">In her breakdown, Dana pointed out a key detail&#8230; <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">TMZ<\/span><\/span> reportedly confirmed they didn\u2019t obtain the footage from public records, they got it directly from someone. That alone narrows things down significantly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1570\">Even more interesting? Taylor\u2019s ex-husband, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/03\/18\/hes-not-on-mormon-wives-so-lets-meet-taylor-frankies-ex-husband-tate-paul\/\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Tate Paul<\/span><\/span><\/a>, allegedly hadn\u2019t even seen the video at the time it leaked. So if he didn\u2019t have access, and TMZ got it from a source, not court filings, then the circle of possible people becomes very small.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"2128\">All in all, Dana&#8217;s speculation boils down to her pointing the finger at Miranda.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"e6dsmz\" data-start=\"2130\" data-end=\"2177\">Miranda breaks her silence on the video leak<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Miranda tells Dana Bowling that MomTok didn\u2019t leak the footage to TMZ, but seems to know who might have \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oVtmoykbbO\">pic.twitter.com\/oVtmoykbbO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Zack Peter (@zackpeter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/zackpeter\/status\/2036071248946671639?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 23, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2257\">Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/03\/17\/heres-where-miranda-stands-with-shinia-after-the-other-mormon-wives-call-her-a-snake\/\">Miranda has stepped in<\/a> to clear at least one thing up, and it\u2019s a big one.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2259\" data-end=\"2564\">In a comment that\u2019s now circulating everywhere, she shut down speculation that the women in Taylor\u2019s circle had anything to do with the leak.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2259\" data-end=\"2564\">She explained that she saw the video at the same time as everyone else and emphasised that none of the girls were ever in possession of it or any related evidence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2566\" data-end=\"2847\">Miranda also made it clear that her previous comments weren\u2019t meant to throw shade at Taylor.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2566\" data-end=\"2847\">Instead, she said she simply doesn\u2019t support or condone the behaviour shown in the video \u201cfrom either party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2849\" data-end=\"3068\">Interestingly, she revealed that she and Taylor are actually in a better place now. According to Miranda, Taylor has apologised for past drama (including the Shania and Chase situations), and the two have moved forward.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3070\" data-end=\"3275\">But the most intriguing part? Miranda admitted she does have her own theories about who leaked the video, she\u2019s just not naming names. What she did confirm, though, is that it \u201cwasn\u2019t any of the women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Taylor Frankie Paul has now released a statement in response to the leaked video of her throwing the stools, with her rep telling\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/taylor-frankie-paul-on-shocking-2023-arrest-video-throwing-chairs-11930057\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Entertainment Weekly<\/b><\/span><\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s sad to see the latest installment of his never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cReleasing an old video, which conveniently omits context, on their son\u2019s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThankfully, the public has seen this act before and knows who he is and sadly, many will recognize this pattern of manipulation, both in his actions on the show, and from their own experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dakota has also released his own statement to<a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/taylor-frankie-paul-s-ex-dakota-mortensen-reacts-to-domestic-violence-investigation-11928813?_gl=1*133uyv9*_ga*MTIxMDQ1OTQ3OS4xNzE0MDc4Mzcy*_ga_DK3GDWHWJH*czE3NzM5MTczNzEkbzIwMyRnMSR0MTc3MzkxOTcwMyRqNjAkbDAkaDA.\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u00a0Entertainment Weekly<\/b><\/span><\/a>, saying: \u201cHis number one priority here is protecting [their 2-year-old son], Ever. He knew there was a possibility it could come out, but he was not going to be the one to proactively do that because he has always wanted a decent relationship with Taylor. It\u2019s been really hard to achieve that, but he wants to co-parent well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe was just hoping that if he says nothing, as he usually does, it would go away. He\u2019s never done any kind of sit-down interview about his side. He kind of just lets it all happen to him, and I think he realizes with the severity of everything now that he just can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>For all the latest reality TV
