The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul unleashed on her Instagram Story this morning in a surprising rant.
The multitude of posts comes amid her recent custody drama with baby daddies Tate Paul and Dakota Mortensen.
“I spent the day crying and fighting for my 2 older children,” her first post began. “They had returned yesterday after being withheld and they were expressing how excited they were to spend this year with me doing fireworks. Their dad even told me we could EXTEND it to Monday so I relayed them the exciting news just for him to take it back??? & rip them away again today 🤡 it was lies to them and gut was wrenching to witness them cry, confused and asking why…”
“If I understand correctly,” she continued. “Because I willing seeked [sic] extra support for my mental health. I even was open with those who needed to know I only refused giving details to my controlling exs ..I had my kids taken for doing the right thing….why would I ever ask for help again. I openly tested at the facility and was clean aside from my prescription meds I openly talk about. This is abuse by proxy.”
She then noted police had to come for a baby switch-off.
“Then second half of today 3rd party was needed for baby switch off (not on my end) cops called me so they could come be that..I said yes,” she noted. “The officer was very kind. However my body is traumatized by constant cop calls, cps calls, visits and new reports. Baby daddy’s claim it’s for ‘safety’ meanwhile I have the children while they are out having fun either on vacation or concerts…I’m always at home recovering from this trying to survive.”
She then insisted she’s “dealing with the system” while she’s being “tag teamed” and a “smear campaign” is happening.
“While trying to recover my own nervous system from so much abuse done to me…while also trying to help and console them. And daddy is seen out having fun, smiling, while his child is in agony daddy has sole custody,” she added. “Shes ‘not well’ FACTS. I am not okay because I care and anyone with a heart would be dying witnessing this for months now.”
“I was vulnerable and trusted my ex because he begged me to tell him what I went through and I cried telling him it all and then he pretended to feel for me,” she elaborated. “He lied, twisted it, and then teamed up with the person that did it to me and filed against me as well. Oh and told me ‘this is a lesson to be nicer to him and tell him information when asked’ 🤡 this isn’t about safety it’s about control for them. That’s called coercive control for those that don’t know aka abuse.”
Taylor then addressed the now-infamous video of her throwing a chair at Dakota that almost hit her daughter that surfaced earlier this year.
“Oh remember the chair video 🪑 that went nation wide TWICE??” she wrote. “These are my some of my wounds from that night I’ve apologized and been punished for years now. I don’t condone any of it. I had just lost two babies and was being so gaslit and psychologically emotionally and physically abused. I peed my pants because I was terrified and I was the one screaming for help. I’ve had this pic for years And I was later told his phone hit my daughter not the chair way after I admitted to it all. I’ve been so lied to on this idk even know anymore.”
“Oh and Tate actually took this picture,” she added.
Taylor noted she carried on and planned her son’s first birthday party with “bite marks” on her back.
She also showed marks on her when she was three months pregnant, claiming she was “scared to ask for help” because she was told she’d “go to jail” if she told anyone.
Taylor wrapped up her rant by exposing some text messages and noting her “smart mouth” was what got her in trouble.
At this point in time, Taylor’s custody battles with Tate and Dakota are continuing to play out.
