Taylor Frankie Paul Opens Up About Rehab and Antidepressants

Taylor Frankie Paul has opened up to fans about her mental health struggles, revealing she voluntarily checked into a rehabilitation facility to 'reset' and 'get away.' In an Instagram Stories post, she admitted she realized she 'needed extra help' and that doctors prescribed an antidepressant that is working well for her.

On Sunday, the reality star was photographed in Utah unloading groceries, looking relaxed in a sky-blue cropped top and white sweats. It appears she decided to share her mental health update later that same day on social media.

This revelation comes amid a heated custody battle with her ex-husband Tate Paul. Tate filed a motion including text messages that allegedly show Taylor refusing to disclose details of her mental health crisis. The messages also reportedly contain her admission that she would stop assaulting ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen if he stopped recording their fights.

Taylor's season of 'The Bachelorette' was scheduled to air on ABC this summer but was shelved after a video surfaced showing her throwing metal bar stools at Dakota during a heated argument. Sources close to Taylor say the news about the show triggered the recent court battles, and she is allegedly being targeted to keep ABC from airing the season.

Insiders claim Taylor is being 'attacked' in court to pressure ABC into permanently shelving the show. Taylor herself has not commented on this theory, but her candid talk about rehab could influence the ongoing case.

Fans are divided: some support Taylor's focus on mental health, while others suspect she is using rehab as a PR move before court. The star insists her decision to seek treatment was voluntary and necessary for her well-being.
