What did her ex-husband say?
The Taylor Frankie Paul arrest video is such an unsightly mess. The entire scenario is.
Following the barstool incident, Tate Paul spoke to authorities to problem a warning.
He claimed that Taylor’s mother was “teaching” his 3-year-old on what to say.
‘She’s teaching my daughter’
Individuals has obtained audio from a February 24, 2023 name between Tate Paul and police.
“The grandmother, is, you understand, clearly there’s a battle of curiosity along with her as a result of it’s her daughter that did this,” he says through the recording.
He’s referring to Liann Might, TFP’s mom.
She is, after all, the grandmother to Taylor’s daughter, Indy.
“I’ve seen she’s already tried gatekeeping — not gatekeeping — however, like, she’s teaching my daughter and saying particular issues,” Tate claimed within the recording.
On the time, Tate claimed that Indy had suffered a small harm to her head on the night time of February 17, 2023.
That night time, after all, being the night time on which Taylor allegedly threw a stool at Dakota Mortensen, her boyfriend on the time.
By his personal account, Dakota deflected the piece of furnishings, the place it struck Taylor’s younger youngster.
Tate claimed that it was a “goose egg” harm — a folksy expression for a hematoma (bruise) on the pinnacle the place there could also be gentle swelling and tenderness.
In the identical breath, he admitted that it was inconceivable to doc as a result of it was small and coated by his youngster’s hair.
Apparently Indy ‘appeared fantastic’
Liann had apparently informed authorities that Indy was not injured throughout Taylor and Dakota’s home violence incident.
Particularly, she informed officers that Indy was asleep.
(Indy was 3 years outdated on the time, and it was after 3 AM after they stopped by the home.)
Nevertheless, Liann informed investigators that her grandchild “appeared fantastic” regardless of what had occurred.
When you ever had a “goose egg” bruise as a child (from, say, hypothetically, tripping over nothing and slamming into the nook of a desk in entrance of your complete fourth grade class), you understand that they really feel massive however are literally very small.
Was Liann telling investigators the reality, or overlaying for her daughter? It actually appears like each.

Teaching a toddler can really feel like a useful factor to do — for everybody concerned, together with the grandchild.
The individuals doing it seldom really feel like they’re encouraging somebody to lie, however merely to decide on their phrases fastidiously.
However it will nonetheless qualify as overlaying for Taylor.

And, after all, Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette was pulled by ABC in a panic — regardless that the 2023 incident was by no means a secret and was in actual fact outdated information to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewers.
(It’s a disgrace, too, as a result of one in all her suitors led a fairly dramatic life himself.)
We’ve got but to see the tip of the fallout from this. Issues are trying grim for Taylor. And, frankly, for everybody in her life.
