What did her ex-husband say?
Taylor Frankie Paul’s arrest video is an ugly mess. The whole situation is.
After the chair incident, Tet Bull spoke to authorities to issue a warning.
He claimed Taylor’s mother was “coaching” his 3-year-old son what to say.
“She is training my daughter.”
the people He obtained audio from a call dated February 24, 2023 between Tate Paul and police.
“The grandmother obviously has a conflict of interest with her because it was her daughter who did this,” he said during the recording.
He’s referring to Leanne Mai, TFP’s mother.
She is, of course, the grandmother of Taylor’s daughter, Indi.
“I noticed that she did try to gate-keeping — not gate-keeping — but she would, like, coach my daughter and say specific things,” Tate alleged in the recording.
At the time, Tate claimed Indy suffered a minor head injury on the night of February 17, 2023.
That night, of course, is the night Taylor allegedly threw a chair at Dakota Mortensen, her boyfriend at the time.
By his own account, Dakota twisted the piece of furniture where it hit Taylor’s toddler.
Tate claimed it was a “goose egg” injury – a popular expression for a hematoma (bruise) to the head where there may be mild swelling and pain.
At the same time, he admitted that it was impossible to document it because it was small in size and covered with his daughter’s hair.
Apparently Indy “seemed fine.”
Leanne appears to have told authorities that Indy was not harmed during the domestic violence incident involving Taylor and Dakota.
Specifically, she told officers that Indy was asleep.
(Indy was 3 years old at the time, and it was after 3 a.m. when they stopped at the house.)
However, Leanne told investigators that her grandson “seemed fine” despite what happened.
If you’ve ever had a “goose egg” bruise as a kid (supposedly, say, tripping over nothing and crashing into the corner of a table in front of the entire fourth-grade class), you know that it looks big but is actually very small.
Was Leanne telling the investigators the truth or covering up for her daughter? It really looks like both.
3-year-olds may seem completely fine after they have calmed down after a tragic accident.
Child training can feel Like something meaningful to do – for everyone involved, including the grandchild.
People who do this rarely feel like they are encouraging someone to do so to lieBut simply choose their words carefully.
But it would still qualify as a cover for Taylor.
Everything in her life seems to be falling apart
Obviously here we are THG I can’t verify anything Tet Bull said in 2023.
We also have to wonder what he’ll say now — whether he’ll make a statement about his ex in 2026 regarding this filing.
For now, we only have so much footage and reports from 2023.
And of course Taylor’s season Bachelorette It was pulled by ABC in a panic – even though the 2023 incident was no secret at all and was actually old news to viewers of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
(It’s a shame, too, because one of her suitors had a pretty dramatic life himself.)
We have not yet seen the end of the repercussions resulting from this. Things look bleak for Taylor. And honestly, for everyone in her life.
