Taylor Frankie Paul took to Instagram on Friday to mark the end of her probation, and bizarrely used AI-generated images depicting her in court.
The troubled 32-year-old Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, whose Bachelorette season was pulled earlier this year, was arrested in February 2023 following a domestic violence incident with then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, 33. A subsequent probationary period lasted three years.
She wrote in a solemn caption accompanying the seemingly artificial photos, 'Three years probation complete. All my PO’s said it was one of the longest probations they had seen for first time offense.'
Paul admitted, 'Back then I wasn’t even aware of what DV was. Unfortunately many will experience it as many already have. DV is a sneaky cycle to get stuck in because by the time you realize what actually is happening you’re already stuck in it.'
Despite the serious nature of the post, the TV star's followers were distracted by her use of fake pictures, with many asking, 'What's with the AI pics?'
The Daily Mail has reached out to Paul for comment but has not yet received a response.

Someone else commented, 'The AI is wild,' while another simply wrote, 'LMFAO THE AI.'
It is not the first time the mom of three has been accused of resorting to artificial intelligence for social media content.
One of her 2.6 million followers surmised, 'The AI is rage bait at this point.'
Another critic accused, 'Your testimony is as real as these pictures.'
A series of four photos showed Paul in different parts of a courthouse, with most of them showing her with an oddly similar head tilt and smirk on her face.
