Taylor Frankie Paul: 'Stare at a Wall' Instead of My Phone?
22 Mar
Summary
- Paul responded to critics suggesting a social media break.
- Her Bachelorette season was canceled days before its premiere.
- She is prioritizing her family's safety amid an ongoing investigation.
Taylor Frankie Paul has publicly addressed criticism regarding her social media activity following a recent scandal. When a TikTok user suggested she take a break from her phone, Paul retorted, "Want me to stare at the wall instead?" She has continued to engage with fans online, reposting videos that support her amidst the controversy.
The former 'Bachelorette' contestant's season, set to premiere on March 22, 2026, was canceled by ABC. This decision came shortly after footage emerged of Paul in an alleged altercation with ex-partner Dakota Mason. The incident reportedly involved Paul throwing a chair at Mason in the presence of their young son.
Paul's spokesperson stated she is prioritizing her children's safety and security, noting she has "suffered extensive mental and physical abuse." The spokesperson added that Paul is "exploring all of her options, seeking support and preparing to own and share her story."
Dakota Mason has denied any wrongdoing, calling the claims "baseless." He has since filed for a temporary protective order against Paul, which was granted, giving him sole custody of their son until an April court hearing. Paul maintains she must remain active on social media due to her "job" obligations.
