Season 5 will jsut be video confessionals and just be whitewashing Taylor’s image. This show has become beyond toxic, from SA allegations, to making light of your friends SA, to literal DV, child neglect and abuse allegations - this is all too serious for it to be entertaining.

Taylor has maligned the cast so much, that I don’t see them ever having an organic friendship again. Plus all the interesting characters, who basically got something to the show, ie Whitney, Jen and even Demi (don’t hate me) have all left.

The reason RHOSLC, and other reality franchises work is because they have more than one interesting character. Here, all the ones that got drama have left, there’s just Taylor who’s basically a dumpster fire. Jessi is too fake and that makes her unbearable to watch. She has no solid grounding, she’ll just gravitate towards whoever the internet supports.

Anymore seasons will just be rewarding Taylor’s toxic behavior. This show and the drama that follows it is too dark for it to be mindless reality entertainment.
It’s going to be very irresponsible to watch this train wreck of a woman on screen ever again, until she HEALS completely.

Was just thinking about the whole CMA drama and how the girl's didn't comment on her post... not a single one. Which in retrospect is odd... they had just premiered the first season and were in the process of filming the second. They all were extremely supportive of each other and it was during season 2 Demi calls out Taylor and has a serious convo with Liann (which I now need to rewatch). Out of curiosity I pieced together a little timeline, you tell me what you think.

Sept 22 2024 Dakota and Taylor split

October Season 2 starts filming

Oct 21 2024 They get back together

Nov 2nd 2024 Tate gets married

Nov 20th 2024 CMAs

(around this time, the other person in the swinging scandal comes out online to saying she didn't want to be apart of the swinging scandal and felt uncomfortable. Taylor responds)

December 2024 Dakota and Taylor break up... again

December 4th 2024 Party where Demi calls out Taylor

... Idk im bored... and a Virgo... I like a timeline. I just want concrete proof and it's driving me crazy how convinced everyone is that Dakota is this crazy abusive, manipulative liar. On top of all this there was another alleged incident reported in 2024 and I suspect it was right before the CMA event... and that was why Demi was going so hard.

Does anyone else think, if Taylor's parents were more supportive of Taylor separating from Dakota, Taylor would have ended up moving on?

It's clear she has PPD, and with her trauma of her bio-father not being a part of her life. I feel Taylor also wanted to make her parents happy.

I think early on if there was more family support Taylor would not be mentally and self destructive as she has evolved to be over the years.

I've felt first hand betrayal by my husband and it turned me in to a person I didn't even recognize, the psychological affect it had put on me.

I'm doing a rewatch now, watching for context clues or just little things that went either unnoticed or just has a new perspective given the things having come to light recently. The part of E6 in S1, about 12 minutes into the episode, Taylor shows up to her mom's house, her mom asks where Dakota is, and Taylor says he isn't coming. Her mom then says she's essentially irritated that Dakota isn't there because she wanted to talk to him. Then, instigated by Taylor's mom, she says to call Dakota, he doesn't answer, so her mom says to text him that she is going into labor. Dakota calls back and asks if she really is going into labor or not and Taylor's mom says no I just wanted to talk to you, he remarks the story about the boy who cried wolf.

Looking back at this with fresh eyes and everything going on...this is so manipulative. And we can see where Taylor gets that from. I understand the joking version of "ah, going into labor, hurry!" side, I've seen friends and family members do it but it had such a different tone and the dynamics were way different. (ETA: I need to clarify the joke part, it was practice runs for the real deal and it came at random and those in my life that did it had giggle fits at the absolute hot-mess they all were). The way this scene happened with Taylor, her mom, and Dakota, just gave me ick. And Taylor's mom is going in on Dakota about why is he the issue, why can't he just figure it out, and he says he wants this to work but Taylor has to be willing to make it work. Mind you, this is while she is pregnant with Ever, after the bar stool incident, after the video that was recorded before the incident that Cru just posted the other day, and likely other videos from that same week that are just sitting in Dakota/Cru's saved folder for later.

Idk, hindsight it just reads bad to me. All these little things, her mom getting involved with Whitney, soon to be Demi in the next season, calling them about something Taylor related and confronting them. She's protecting her perfect angel baby who is just SOOO misunderstood and has had the "hardest day of her life" 1,872 days in a row. And then Taylor commenting on this E6 and E5 that she is testing Dakota to see if he'll leave or not. That whole testing thing has always been such a red flag to me for anyone. Why are we testing and trying to set up failure and then reacting on that failure as if we are the victim Taylor? Literally a victim cycle, setting up situations as tests or pushing things to the limit as tests seems pretty manipulative to me.
