‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Star Chase McWhorter Addresses DUI, Cocaine Possession Arrest
Dakota Mortensen is setting the record straight.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star—who shares son Ever, 21 months, with ex Taylor Frankie Paul—dispelled claims on social media that he suffered a lapse in his sobriety and was under the influence at the series’ recent season three reunion.
“I took a little break there because I was, if I’m honest with you, I was struggling a little bit,” Dakota said in a video posted to Instagram Dec. 9. “Obviously, the reunion thing was a s–t show.”
“I think more whenever I see videos circulating of me claiming that I’m high or I relapsed,” he went on. “There’s very few things I feel proud of when it comes to myself, and I think one of those is being Ever’s dad and my recovery.”
The 32-year-old went on to explain that it’s been a challenge for him to navigate difficult situations this year while also maintaining his sobriety.
