Taylor Frankie Paul on Her Breast Augmentation
Taylor Frankie Paul revealed in season 4 of Mormon Wives that she had a breast augmentation prior to filming season 22 of The Bachelorette. (ABC postponed Taylor’s season in March 2026 due to allegations regarding a domestic dispute involving her and ex Dakota Mortensen.)
“I’m getting another breast augmentation. I had one a few years ago,” Taylor shared in an episode. “After having a baby, I was uncertain about some changes, especially up here. So, I thought, ‘Let’s just get a little touch-up.’”
“I’m doing it primarily to boost my self-esteem, but also for The Bachelorette,” she added. “I suspect I’ll be wearing a lot of dresses, and, if you know me, that’s not my usual attire. I just want to feel confident in them.”

Jessi Draper Responds to Body-Shaming
In July 2025, Jessi Draper addressed body-shaming comments on social media, stating via her Instagram Story, “Just a gentle reminder that commenting on a woman’s post with ‘You’re looking more transgender by the day’ or ‘Your features are so masculine’ is never okay,” she wrote. “Most of these comments don’t affect me, but I’m feeling emotional today and contemplating quitting social media, so thank you, trolls.”
She further explained that these “trolls” were criticizing the results of her jaw realignment surgery, which she underwent to correct her temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
“I have a defined jawline due to TMJ surgery, and ironically, it’s the primary feature people say makes me look masculine,” she stated. “Sorry, Karen, but I can’t control that?! I also face criticism for having plastic surgery, yet continue to receive comments about my appearance that make me more insecure, so it feels like a lose-lose situation.”
