Taylor Frankie Paul has been through the wringer over the last few months, which has cost her a show and her reputation. She has had to prove that she is not an abusive monster, all while losing her jobs and a plethora of deals. Now, things are starting to turn around, and she is showing the “ugly” side of what “healing” looks like. Keep reading to see what that looks like for her.
Taylor Frankie Paul Loses It All
When Taylor Frankie Paul was cast as The Bachelorette, it was a controversial move by ABC. She came from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and had not been in Bachelor Nation. Therefore, fans of the franchise were unsure how to feel about her and felt that the show would be a flop. Yet, filming went on, and the season was completed. Unfortunately, as the season premiere approached, footage of Taylor and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, resurfaced, showing a chair being thrown at one of her children.
Her season was canceled days before it was set to air, plus there was another altercation with Dakota in 2026, which halted filming of SLOMW. Luckily for her, on April 14th, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office made a huge announcement. There will be no charges filed against the reality star for any of her DV incidents. This has been a huge relief and somewhat of a redemption song for Taylor Frankie Paul.
That being said, she recently posted a series of three slides. She showcased how slim she had gotten, mainly from all of the hate and stress. It has been extremely hard to handle over the last few months, watching her reputation go down the toilet. Moreover, she has been deemed a monster and lost her chance at being The Bachelorette. This was something she was very excited for, and sadly, she was villainized.
Trying To Rebuild
Taylor Frankie Paul is actively working on making her life better, including her health. It has been alleged that she lost out on her chance to be on Dancing With the Stars. This is all because of her DV drama, but that may all change now that the charges have been dropped. In her photos, she shows a side view of her tiny waist, which makes it clear she struggles with eating. Taylor is frail and worn down, but as she stated in her Instagram post:
- We’re working on eating, movement, rest, and retraining the nervous system. I’ll be sharing the process, because if my worst is shared better bet I’ll share the rebuilding too.
She also noted that these were the “ugly parts of what healing actually looks like.” So, she is attempting to be very transparent with her followers. Many chimed in, including her fellow reality friends:
- Stassi Schroeder: A giant hug to you Taylor ❤️
- Trista Sutter: So much love your way, Taylor. ❤️
- Kat Izzo: sending you all the love always
