This show was fantastic, a great cast, interesting storylines, fun events, insightful, and funny ….right up to the last episode. What in the holy girls gone wild crap was that??? The invited guests were college aged young adults and nobody was sober enough to consent. It was messy and it crapped all over the season.
Also what was Sammy’s Tatoo on his thigh? It looked like the KFC guy.
Liann had a lot to say in the comments about the cheating/swinger scandal involving her daughter, Taylor, and her ex-husband, Tate. Now, Tate has finally issued a response in the only public post currently on his TikTok.
Silence has protected Taylor’s narrative for far too long. I’m glad Tate is finally taking back his power and telling his side of the story. His response sheds a very different light on Taylor’s behavior and on Liann’s role in defending and enabling her.
Below is Tate’s response also shown in the attached pictures.
My Diatribe to “Grandma”
I’ve stayed quiet on this subject out of protection of my children, however staying silent doesn’t feel like an ethical move at this point given the egregious nature of what’s been recently said by Liann.
Liann, let me refresh your memory. I called your daughter that night multiple times asking her to come home and she refused, telling me to leave her alone because she was venting to her friend who randomly picked her up without my knowledge. I had no choice but to respect her request. I was at home with my kids and received a call from McKenna around midnight that something was wrong and that both Taylor and Brayden had turned off their phones. I had no idea she invited him over to her friends house btw. I had to bring my sleepy kids over to McKennas so I could find your daughter. Brayden had a Tesla so Mckenna could honk the horn remotely so I could determine the exact home she was at. She invited him over that night and she continued to sleep with him after being caught. FYI She actually had sobered up when I found her, however she didn’t want to discuss what happened. I asked her the next day and she claimed nothing happened and that they just talked. She only confessed to the affair the following day because McKenna discovered Taylor’s and Brayden’s text history on his laptop. It confirmed everything these two were up to. The night I learned about the affair I was in the kitchen sobbing while Taylor sat on the stairs stoically staring at me. I was expressing my** **feelings of anger and betrayal. She looked at me while I was crying and grinned and said “do you want me to tell you more?”. She then proceeded to share very hurtful graphic details of all the things her and Brayden did behind our backs aside from sleeping with each other with…excitement. The enjoyment of others suffering is something I’ve never understood. For the record we weren’t swingers. The need for an “open relationship” was one sided. It wasn’t planned or my idea to do that. In fact I pretended to be sick the first time your daughter asked to do it. I own the fact I could have been a better husband and family leader and that’s a mistake I’ve already addressed and learned from.
Liann, it is not your place or appropriate to publicly speak about events you weren’t involved in. I have withheld this and much more information for years because she’s the mother of my children. Get your facts straight before you publicly claim nefarious dishonest accusations to excuse your daughter’s mistakes. Maybe plow your energy and time towards the health of your family and marriage rather than spreading misinformation online to protect your daughter’s image at the expense of others.
Bachelornation sent Taylor a care package and her response is interesting. She says “cried opening this bc I just feel bad and they are still so kind”
The Bachelorette was rumored to air in July, it’s now August. Stassi’s (a production plant) commented about the season not airing and it was highlighted on TMZ earlier today. Now Taylor is being quiet and Bachlornation is sending her a coloring book and bath bombs with a “thinking of you” card.
I don’t see how they can release it after the drama from the last month, what do you think?
My god she's really pushing to get that spot in the SLOMW isn't she?
And wasn't she bast frands with Marciano???
It’s Taylor’s weekend with Ever, and Shinia posted a date night photo last night to her IG stories. Is this Dakota?
Two weekends ago she posted the photo of her and Dakota in AZ. Looks like things are getting serious and confirmation of a new budding couple.
Ok how about Stassi throwing a Bubonic plague themed costume party and Taylor dressing up as Blake Livey?? That was Epic and the worst Blake burn I’ve seen in a while!
I’m not a fan of Taylor but this was awesome!
Mayci and Jessi are in NYC tonight and posted photos in their stories. Shortly after Taylor reposted a snarky picture saying “Avoid people who are close to people who dislike you. They are dangerous” 👀
Jessi isn’t a good friend to anyone and she is dangerous. She helped ruined Taylor’s image in S4 by working with Jordan and inviting Dakota everywhere and telling her what he was doing (the family friend, the Villa and Shinia).
I think her recent personality pivot from sad and grungy to healthy and flirty has more to do with production than it does her children. She can’t stand that production is moving on without her and I hope it continues that way.
Why did DCFS open a new case for all three of Taylor’s children? Did she fail her drug test?
Johnnie previously had posted a lot of reels teasing the season's return. Together with Taylor unpinning the official Bachelorette post on her IG yesterday, do we think they got the final no from TPTB?
Tate responds to the Judges denial with new evidence to support his request for a TRO.
In the article it states.
Along with the motion, Tate submitted several exhibits, including text messages he says show Taylor refusing to disclose why she was receiving inpatient treatment, keeping him in the dark about a mental health crisis, and admitting she stops assaulting boyfriend Dakota Mortensen when he records their interactions.
Tate also submitted call logs and text messages involving members of Taylor's immediate family -- evidence he also apparently believes will help convince the court to reconsider its ruling.
Those that believe there are legitimate reasons why someone would call the police or fight for custody of their children other than the Bachelorette airing or not need to wake up!
According to the TFP stans- All common sense must be squashed and all problems should be blamed on the season airing or not. It’s and clear as mud.
I’ll go first…. I believe gas prices are being manipulated to align with the Bachelorette being released. The prices start ticking up every time they hint at it being released. If it is we are all screwed, the prices will soar to keep us home and forced to watch it.
Logic has no place here, what are signs you’ve seen?
/s
Taylor hasn’t posted anything for Father’s Day, but she couldn’t stop herself from reposting this snarky message.
I wonder what father she’s talking about 🤔
Edit/update- it’s been deleted.
Jordan did a tell all interview with Alexandria Rizik being released 6/18. I couldn’t stand him with Dadtox, but can’t wait to see what he exposes about Jessie/Marciano and Taylor/Dakota. I wonder if Taylor’s cryptic repost the other day about holding secrets about people talking about her was a warning for Jordan? 👀🍿
I feel like we see these interviews ramp up before they start filming to create friction and storylines. This is a good play for job security if they are going to start filming S6.
It’s really starting to look like they’re prepping to start filming again.
Edit-it was a terrible nothing burger. It felt like he was auditioning to be on a dating show. Don’t waste your time on this.
We know everything Taylor posts/reposts is intentional. Do you think this a threat to someone specific or a warning of a pending crash out?
It’s crazy how Taylor continues to see herself as a loyal friend and holder of secrets. We all know she’s a ticking time bomb that will turn on anyone to deflect from whatever mess she created.
It’s obvious those around her have tons of negative things to say about her, but won’t because of her cult backlash or it would hurt her custody case. For her to repost this shows how out of touch she is with reality, and she’s never going to outgrow her victim mentality.
I don’t know if there’s going to be any other announcements but let’s wait and see…
After Cru clapped back at a Taylor’s wild accusations we expected a reaction ….but it’s been quiet, real quiet. It’s the kinda quiet we hoped to see after the first hearing. Curious to hear what people think was the turning point that made it click? Whatever it was I hope it sticks, and she stays offline.
We know something happened after Cru’s live that they couldn’t talk about, so I feel like it’s definitely court related. What are your thoughts/theories?
The Cru TikTok live shed light on missing information that was intentionally spun and used to hurt Dakota in Hulu’s attempt to protect their golden goose Taylor.
Taylor is admittedly overreactive and often apologetic afterwards when speaking her “truth”. The bigger problem IMO is that the network works overtime to minimize her destruction by villainizing people around her to cover up her bad behaviors.
From the limited information we have it looks like Taylor has deep rooted trust and abandonment issues, and Dakota is a recovering addict that turned into an unhealthy addiction to Taylor. This spun out of control because they quickly became reality tv celebrities that monetized on their dysfunction. The fallout of their toxic relationship was magnified in the public and their core issues are being used against each other for ratings, clicks, and likes and crossed the line when a child was involved.
Money and power rule everything and is doing so right now in this very public feud. The people who have first hand knowledge are silenced by the network’s NDA with threats to their sponsor deals and future opportunities if they speak out against their narrative. They use their leverage with media and platforms to muddy the truth and highlight other opposing people’s bad behavior to minimize Taylor’s. The public perception they’ve carefully woven is then used to intimidate and sway brand deals, the court system, law enforcement and “truth tellers” to not go against the authoritative narrative in fear of public backlash.
Is Taylor guilty of weaponizing the system that’s been protecting her? Absolutely, but it wouldn’t be as dangerous if truth wasn’t being censored by the Network profiting from her dysfunction.
A possible solution is a GoFundMe for Dakota’s legal fees for a law firm like Justin Baldoni’s to fight back. This isn’t just about a custody battle. It’s about how money, privilege, and power decides who gets public grace and who gets the wrath and it’s now crossed a dangerous threshold where an innocent child is the real victim. Is exposing the network that’s profiting of his parents trauma in the best interest of Ever? Yes….his parents are flawed, but it escalated to this level due to corporate greed. A good legal team could push back on the red tape and expose the real villain, Hulu. Dakota doesn’t have the resources to fight back and supporting him is a message to the networks that we are done with their morally corrupt production agencies.
What are your thoughts, is this a good or terrible idea in the best interest of Ever?
Oh boy. This is going to be a looooong night.
