Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul spoke about her baby daddy, Dakota Mortensen, and fellow MomToker, Mikayla Matthews, on social media.
Taylor’s lengthy Instagram post came two weeks after she appeared in court with Dakota, and after she and Mikayla have been feuding publicly.
From the desk of TFP:
Taylor began, “It’s so sad because nobody wants to be like this. I hate that I am no longer myself. I hate that I stayed so long, and I blame nobody more than my own damn self. How did I allow this for my kids and for myself for so long? I’m sorry to THEM. I don’t need to log off and remain silent. I’ve already admitted in court I’m fully NOT INNOCENT, I know that.”
“I’ve been in survival more for years with miscarriages, pregnancy, postpardum, and horrible betrayal with so many lies told which added to the trauma on my body physically, hormonally, mentally, and emotionally. Those layers also matter.”
“To make it more difficult, I was scared nto call for help or tell anyone because I was reminded I would be the one in trouble given I’m the one on probation already. Imagine being pregnant and postpartum healing internally and too scare to ask for help or at the very least speak about it and he know he had that advantage with gave him MORE access to do whatever knowing I’d remain silent.”
“What people don’t realize is you don’t even realize you’re in it and what’s happening psychologically for a long time. You solely believe you’re the only insane one because they twist everything so that you eventually feel insane. Then to find out you weren’t insane, in fact, I was right about it all – which is gut-wrenching to learn. It was always projection.” TFP said Dakota love-bombed, manipulated, threatened, physically hurt, humiliated, and gaslighted her.
“The difference between us, my love was real for him without gaining anything, and people knew that. I’m not sure he was the same way in return. I wish he had been the person he pretended to be.” Taylor continued, “I experienced too much. I saw too much. The mask fell off, and not only with me. We’re both in the wrong. What I can say is I didn’t want to ruin his life, call cops on him, take his child away, or claim complete innocence. That’s the difference between us.”
Taylor’s friendship with Mikayla has suffered due to her legal issues:
“Then, we have friends like Mikayla who come at me during all this.”
“Now she wants me to apologize?! Absolutely not.”
“She can go kick rocks instead of kicking me right now.
