While also leaking a text message Dakota, 33, allegedly sent her in regard to his feelings for Shinia, 29, the 32-year-old Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star suggested that her ex-boyfriend, with whom she shares a two-year-old son, Ever, was “using” Shinia.
On Shinia’s Story, after a fan asked if she and Dakota still talk and suggested that he had gotten a “bad rap,” Shinia offered a response.
“Yes, I only have great things to say about him [to be honest],” Shinia replied, as seen in a screenshot shared by The Mormon Wives Report on Instagram on July 3.
After the post was shared, Taylor interjected, saying of Shinia, “Poor girl is always being used as a toy. Hope this helps her,” as she posted an apparent text from Dakota.
“It is funny to me that you are so invested in Shinia when I never cared about her remotely like that,” Dakota had allegedly written.

As SLOMW fans may know, Dakota hooked up with Shinia seasons ago on the show, despite her efforts to establish a friendship with Taylor.
As for Taylor and Dakota, they were granted restraining orders against one another earlier this year amid a domestic violence scandal, which saw the sharing of a shocking video of Taylor yelling at Dakota and throwing chairs.
