Jessi Draper defended Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen, her castmate on the show's podcast, on the March 25 episode of the podcast, after a leaked video footage of an altercation between the exes in 2023. Draper stated that she and cast were aware of the existence of the video but hadn't seen it before it was leaked. She also defended Paul, stating that she believes people can come back from things like this and that she wants this to be a wake-up call for them. The Draper City Police Department confirmed that there is an open domestic assault investigation regarding Paul and Mortensen. Paul was previously arrested for alleged domestic violence in the same year, but this charge will be dismissed if she complies with the conditions of her plea.
