And finally, at least for now, we get into a bit of redemption for Taylor Frankie Paul. During a Zoom court appearance on June 1, it became pretty clear pretty fast that Taylor – and her lawyer – are genuinely grappling with what has happened and what is to come. Meanwhile, Dakota and his lawyer got busy misrepresenting an earlier ruling by the judge presiding over the hearing – and shockingly wrote off Dakota’s role in the domestic violence incidents as “self-defense that didn’t count as self-defense.” The judge was none too pleased, and Taylor’s custody situation is gradually being eased back to shared custody.
