Taylor Frankie Paul wrote a candid message, accusing his ex Dakota Mortensen of “love bombing” and “manipulating him” amid their custody battle.
on his Instagram account on Thursday, May 14 The Secret Life of Mormon Wives “It’s so sad because no one wants to be like that. I hate that I’m not like that anymore. I hate that I stayed that way for so long,” the star wrote.
Revealing that she admitted in court that she was “not completely innocent,” Taylor said, “I don’t blame anyone more than myself, because how did I let this happen to my children and to myself for so long? I feel sorry for them. “I don’t need to log off and stay quiet.”
The TV personality further said, I have been through years of miscarriage, pregnancy, postpartum and surviving terrible betrayals along with being told a lot of lies which has taken a toll on my body physically, hormonally, mentally and emotionally. Those layers matter too. To make it even more difficult, I was afraid to call for help or tell anyone because I was reminded that I would get in trouble, since I was already on probation.
Recalling her turbulent relationship with Dakota, she alleges, “Imagine being pregnant and healing internally during postpartum treatment and being so afraid to ask for help or at least speak about it and he knew he had that advantage, which gave him more access to do anything, knowing I would keep quiet.
“What people don’t understand is that you don’t even realize you’ve been in this and that’s what’s been going on psychologically for a long time. You completely believe you’re the only crazy one because they’ve twisted everything that happened to make you ultimately feel crazy. Then to find out you weren’t crazy, in fact, I was right about all this, which is heartbreaking to learn. There was always projection. It’s a human reaction that eventually breaks down and then the cycle continues. You get stuck in because they console you by saying, ‘It’s okay that you’re acting out, I’m still here for you and still love you,’ then you feel bad because they know they’re hurting you, even after learning a lot, you still want to be held by the same person, I know.
Taylor asked rhetorically, “And then ‘Why didn’t you leave sooner?’
She further claimed that Dakota “love bombed, then molested, threatened (and) physically hurt her”.
“The difference between us, my love for him was real without getting anything back, and people know it,” she commented, “I wish he was the person he pretended to be. I experienced enough, I saw too much. The mask fell, and not just with me. We’re both in the wrong. What I can say is that I didn’t want to ruin his life, call the police on him, take his child away, or claim to be completely innocent…that’s what happened between us.” There is a difference.”
This comes after two Utah police departments in February opened an investigation into alleged violence between Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, which was later dismissed by prosecutors.
