Taylor Frankie Paul has been hitting the headlines for the last few months. Taylor Frankie Paul's show, The Bachelorette , was all set to air when a video of her along with her ex, Dakota Mortensen, was shared, wherein their dispute could be witnessed. Given the intense nature of the video, as well as the ongoing domestic violence claims involving these two, ABC cancelled the show. Now, recent reports claimed that ABC is considering a mid-July premiere.

Along with this report, several other controversies started hitting the headlines; one was that Taylor's ex, Dakota, called cops on her recently, and the other is that she checked into rehab willingly after her ex, Tate Paul, requested a temporary restraining order against her, and was denied the next day. And a recent report revealed that Dakota's recent actions were seemingly due to the fact that he doesn't want to go on air.

The Insider recently claimed that Dakota's actions are to stop the show from going on air, while Taylor's priority is her and her family's well-being.

"He's using and abusing the system to inflict the most pain and create inaccurate, harmful narratives, seemingly to prevent a show from going on the air — which is in direct contrast to Taylor — whose priority is her family and her own well-being. One side is trying to inflict pain, the other side is trying to manage and avoid pain. It's been incredibly painful for her to watch someone deliberately create sideshows without any regard for the human consequences simply because they don’t want a show to be on the air.”

It was only a few days ago, when Dakota called cops on Taylor as he wanted to know if the protective order was violated. Following this, the officers called Taylor and collected her statement. According to sources, Taylor and Dakota haven't seen or spoken to each other since the time the protective orders were issued. According to TMZ, Paul reportedly called out Dakota, posting stories on social media, wherein she called him obsessive. She reportedly wrote:

"Cops called on me again THIS WEEK … What are the odds? And it’s not people … it’s ONE person, the same person. It’s obsessive.”
