Ep 108: Taylor Frankie Paul's SCANDAL | #gotherbackpodcast
In this episode of the Got HER Back Podcast, Meg and Carrie dive deep into the Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen drama that rocked Bachelor Nation when a leaked domestic incident video pulled The Bachelorette off ABC's lineup just days before its premiere.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star is back in headlines as her custody trial unfolds, and the girls aren't holding back on their hot takes. They unpack what reactive abuse actually looks like, why filming someone's "snapped moment" is a classic abuser tactic, and why the judge ultimately saw through Dakota's edited footage.
From Tell Me Lies parallels and blackmail dynamics to compulsive lying, custody battles, and whether a bad husband can still be a good father, this is a raw, unfiltered conversation about the cost of staying, the power of healing, and why women everywhere are saying #TeamTaylor.
