Taylor Frankie Paul Sobs in New Video with Ex Dakota

Reality star Taylor Frankie Paul is back in the spotlight after a new video emerged showing her crying during an argument with her ex, Dakota Mortensen. The clip was posted by Dakota's roommate, Cru, who says it captures the aftermath of a heated fight between the former couple.

In the footage, Taylor, visibly upset, repeatedly asks Dakota, "Why are you doing this?" and "Why are you filming me?" Dakota, the father of one of Taylor's children, responds, "Now you can get caught," before referencing alleged past incidents where Taylor physically assaulted him, all while holding their child. The video has sparked intense reactions online.

Cru accompanied the video with a lengthy caption defending Dakota against online criticism. He argues that viewers don't see what happened before the recording started, and that Dakota doesn't start fights, so he can't always anticipate when to record. "Watch her hands every time she realizes she's being recorded and can't hit him," he wrote, implying Taylor's aggression.

Cru ended his post with a direct plea to Taylor to stop posting about him, especially after she sent him a cease and desist letter. He stressed that such behavior in front of the kids is unacceptable and creates trauma. This is just the latest chapter in their ongoing public feud.

Earlier this week, Taylor and Dakota faced off in court over custody. TMZ previously released a 2023 video showing Taylor attacking Dakota; she pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. Now, a source close to Taylor claims the new video shows Dakota berating his postpartum girlfriend, escalating the situation despite her pleas to stop.

Sources say it's sad that someone who isn't a parent would post such videos and keep fueling the fire, as the kids will eventually find them. Dakota has not yet responded to requests for comment. Fans are divided, but many agree that this public war is harming the children involved.
