Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota: New Allegations in Custody Battle
In a new chapter of the heated legal battle, Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen are back in the spotlight. According to newly filed court documents, Dakota claims that Taylor called their son Ever's cries for him "annoying" in a private text message. This is just one of several explosive allegations that Dakota's lawyers want to present to the judge in their ongoing custody dispute.
In the motion, obtained by TMZ, Dakota's legal team asks the court to set aside a previous stipulation ahead of Wednesday's hearing, attaching dozens of exhibits that they say contain text conversations between the exes. Based on the exhibit titles, Dakota alleges Taylor said Ever's cries for him were "annoying," admitted he "didn't deserve the domestic violence," planned to sabotage Dakota, and mocked his safety concerns.
Other exhibits are described as showing Taylor asking Dakota to disparage two unidentified people, baiting him during multiple exchanges, admitting she dissociates, provoking him over a medical issue before attacking him, sending dozens of unanswered texts between midnight and 4 AM, sending graphically intimate messages about Dakota's lip tattoo, and cycling from arousal to anger in her texts.
In Taylor's previous court filings, she portrayed Dakota as being obsessed with her and pointed to the lip tattoo as evidence. Now, Dakota's team has submitted declarations from two witnesses in support of the motion, though the contents are not yet public. It seems the mutual accusations are intensifying, with each side trying to present itself in a favorable light.
A source close to Taylor told TMZ that the other side continues to wage a misinformation campaign against her, twisting facts and taking them out of context. The source says Taylor looks forward to addressing this through proper channels in court. This statement comes weeks after Dakota accused Taylor of violating a protective order by allegedly trying to arrange an extra visit with Ever while she was in rehab.
Taylor's camp has denied any wrongdoing, saying she entered treatment on a doctor's recommendation and claiming Dakota is using law enforcement and the courts to harass and intimidate her. As the legal proceedings continue, fans and observers are closely watching this tangled story, which mixes personal grievances, accusations of violence, and concerns for the child's well-being. Hopefully, the court will protect little Ever's interests and put an end to this exhausting war.
