Taylor Frankie Paul's temper allegedly rose during production of her now-scuttled season of  - after she was asked about her legal issues.

Paul, 31, was on an individual date with contestant Casey Hux, who inquired about her 2023 arrest, an insider told TMZ on Monday.

The Pueblo, Colorado-born reality star had 'a full-fledged meltdown' when Hux asked her about the incident, a separate source told the outlet.

She 'stormed off the set' when the touchy topic was brought up by Hux, the source said.

The reason why Hux asked Paul about her arrest was his hope of gaining an understanding of what life lessons she might have gleaned from the unfortunate series of events, a source told the outlet.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Paul's representative and Hux for further comment on the story.

Hux would not have a chance to see the video TMZ posted Thursday, which showed Paul attacking her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, 33, with her minor daughter present.

Police separated the two as an aggressive Paul tried to pour herself a water and began crying. 

Mortensen told responding officers that Paul was 'not doing OK' while giving them a glimpse into the violence he alleged he suffered at her hands.

'I can't even tell you the stuff that's happened to me,' Mortensen said, showing off injuries he claimed came from Paul.

At that point, Paul re-emerged, and told Mortensen to leave immediately.

After Paul was arrested, Mortensen asked police officers if he could go to jail instead of her, saying that he just wanted her 'to get help.'

Paul in August of 2023 entered a plea of guilty to aggravated assault in connection with the February 2023 incident. Four other charges were dropped as part of the deal, and probation she's been on since then is slated to conclude in August.
