Trashy Divorces

Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of domestic violence.

Taylor Frankie Paul's relationship with Dakota was far more violent than we knew, and the violence has continued into 2026. The pair have recently been in court seeking mutual protective orders, and, to her credit, Taylor acknowledged that she was indeed part of the problem. For his part, Dakota acknowledged that Taylor was the entire problem. The judge was not impressed, and while their legal saga continues, this is the end of our extended introduction to Taylor Frankie Paul - though we're pretty sure we'll meet her again.

The ABC network went and recorded a whole season of its hit reality show The Bachelorette - and promptly shelved it. Dakota, once again, was the cause, having sold his cell phone video of Taylor Frankie Paul's domestic violence incident from 2023 to TMZ days before the season's premiere. The fate of the season remains up in the air, and as for Taylor Frankie Paul's legal situation, we'll get into that in the next episode.
