Taylor Frankie Paul is moving on from her MomTok episode with some admissions!
The reality star got vulnerable in a lengthy social media post about her recent public spat with her “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” co-stars and how everything has left her feeling, both positively and negatively.
Taylor Frankie Paul recently reunited with her fellow “SLOMW” cast members to roll the tapes on the fifth season of the successful reality show after a few weeks of pausing filming.
The mother of three took to Instagram on Sunday, July 12, with some deeply reflective truths about the root cause of her MomTok drama. Taylor blamed the outbursts on dealing with so many things at once and pouring out her frustration on her co-star’s video of them having fun without her in sight.
Taylor stressed that she was ready to move on from the toxicity of the drama, noting that she will never discredit her friends’ success because she has been there to witness most of it.
The reality star clarified that she became defensive and let her ego deal with everything because she felt betrayed and abandoned by people she once rooted for.
She emphasized that her co-stars have the right to establish boundaries after her personal controversy affected the show. Taylor also understood that they had the right to speak their minds without feeling bullied. In her words:
“None of us deserve that. No matter what happened, it doesn’t justify MY responses to all of it. That’s on me. I can only control me. I recognize I’m not myself and that hurts to admit.”
The Mother-Of-Three Expressed Readiness To Dump Animosity And Embrace ‘Abundance’
Taylor continued in the lengthy caption that between dealing with her split from Dakota Mortensen, the restraining orders, the domestic violence allegations, and temporarily losing two shows rewired her brain. She agreed that it has become her responsibility to recalibrate her focus and rewire her brain to feel like the happier days.
Taylor then addressed the topic of her kids, who have been the topic of custody arrangements between her and her ex-partners. On July 8, during a custody hearing, a judge expanded Taylor’s parenting time to extend her weekends with their child, Ever, through Monday morning over a month after the previous hearing.
The reality star admitted to missing her children, expressing pain at the restricted access to them, while admitting how heartbroken she feels. “I feel at war, I’m afraid of who I can trust, and just wanted to share the reality of how I feel. I don’t want to feel animosity; I want to feel abundance,” she stressed.
Taylor Frankie Paul Bragged About Her Other TV Offers Amid ‘SLOMW’ Return
The media personality was onboarded to film the fifth season of “SLOMW,” where she would film the intro credits, but will not be appearing in anything else for the season, including a final confessional.
As reported by The Blast, Taylor will join famous faces on television like Jessi Draper, Whitney Leavitt, Jen Affleck, and Layla Taylor to film the season.
However, the group made one move on social media that set off Taylor on a shade-throwing spree about the squad’s inability to diminish her influence or humble her.
Taylor did not hesitate to remind the group subtly that despite her previous standing with ABC and Hulu and the domestic violence accusations, she is still in high demand.
According to her, television shows like “Dancing with the Stars” and “Miami Swim Week” have approached her for a gig, and she may even get a memoir contract.
The reality star noted that the group’s show-off made an already bad day worse for her, as Draper clarified that their little dance was not intended to make her feel terrible.
Draper insisted the group all tried to make a fun video, like the good old days, and it was not meant to be a shade to Taylor, who was absent during the shenanigans.
Inside The 32-Year-Old’s Rehab Stint
Before the good news of her Hulu show getting unpaused, the reality star voluntarily enlisted to check into a rehab facility in the spirit of getting better. As noted by The Blast, everyone in Taylor’s circle consented to her getting the best support professional to improve her well-being and mental health.
The priority also extended to her three children, who are the center of her universe and need to be protected from the scourge of her actions and public standing. In the viral 2023 video of Taylor and her ex-boyfriend’s confrontation, the reality star could be seen yelling and throwing chairs at Dakota in the presence of their child.
The reality star and her ex were reportedly also involved in another domestic altercation in February, attracting attention from the Draper Police Department, who began an open domestic assault investigation the following month.
Taylor Frankie Paul’s Ex Wanted To Keep Their Issues Out Of The Public Glare
The former couple’s viral clip left some consequences in its wake, which prompted statements from the duo and their reps. As soon as the video dropped, ABC axed the season of Taylor’s “Bachelorette” just days before it began airing, leaving the reality star feeling overwhelmed.
She confessed that it has been a heavy period for her to deal with the fallout from her actions in the video, and staying out of the public eye only meant not enjoying the rewards of her labor. In the video, one of the chairs Taylor threw at Dakota had left a mark on her minor daughter after it hit her.
While Taylor braved the flames of the controversial clip and the harsh backlash that followed, Dakota, through his representative, revealed that he had intended for their drama to have a different outcome when it comes to public interference.
His rep emphasized that Dakota put up little to no fight in letting everything happen to him during their relationship. Still, he eventually realized he cannot fold his arms anymore. The response from Dakota towards the video played out via restraining orders establishing limits in court.
