Taylor Frankie Paul, the 31-year-old mom talk star, just lost her spot as the Basharette for season 22 after a messy scandal blew up. Fans have been urging her to step away from social media mid-the-drama, but she fired back, basically saying, staring at a wall isn't an option since. Posting is her job. The trouble started with her on-and-off boyfriend, Dakota, 33. Right before filming wrapped last December, police showed up at her Utah home for an alleged fight. TMZ then dropped video of Taylor throwing a charred and while their daughter was nearby, leading ABC to cancel her show days before its march. 22. Taylor's team says she's endured years of mental and physical abuse from Dakota, staying quiet out of fear. Now she's speaking up to protect herself and her kids, including eight-year-old Indy and five-year-old Ocean from her ex-husband. She's grateful for ABC's support as she focuses on family safety. Dakota hid back fast, getting a temporary protective order against her the next day. It bans
contact and gives him sole custody of their child, ever until an April court date. The investigation continues, and Taylor's keeping busy online with work commitments while weighing her next steps. If you're dealing with domestic violence, reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 119-799-97233. Durham News Today, powered by AI Bringing You What Matters.
