And as we've said, that cancellation is such a huge deal.

This is what is the elephant in the room, is that what this video shows, which is violence, isn't actually news to anyone.

Shouldn't be news to anyone.

Shouldn't be news to ABC.

Shouldn't be news to anyone who's watched Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Because Mortensen filed domestic violence charges against Frankie Paul in February 2023.

So two years ago.

Frankie Paul struck a deal in which she pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault, a third degree felony, and had the other charges dismissed, including the domestic violence charges.

But that fight and its aftermath were a plot point in season one of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Yep, so it showed her interactions with local police.

That was all filmed.

So it seems like it was fine when it was for reality TV and then when we actually see the reality of it, it's suddenly absolutely not fine.

Holly, do you think we've sanitised violence so much that it's not until we actually see footage

that we realize how abhorrent it is?

What did you think it was?

And it makes me think about all the times there are men on our screens right now who have been found guilty of all kinds of crimes.
