Taylor was arrested for domestic violence in Herriman, Utah.
The arrest took place on February 23, 2023, and she was charged with one count of felony aggravated assault, two counts of misdemeanor assault, and one count of criminal mischief.
A video of the arrest was obtained by the Daily Mail and shows a hysterically emotional and “hammered” Taylor claiming that her boyfriend threw her into the garage of her home.
She also claimed that the fight ensued when her boyfriend refused to take her to a concert after she became intoxicated while out with friends.
The video shows Paul standing outside her home, and she can be heard sobbing and asking the police to remove her boyfriend from the house.
The video is heavily redacted, and it is unclear what happened before the police arrived.
Another video of the arrest was obtained by Daily Mail, which shows Taylor throwing a chair at her boyfriend before the police arrived.
The video is disturbing and shows the TikToker’s violent behavior during the incident.
After the arrest, Taylor shared an update on her mental health journey on TikTok.
She has two children with her ex-husband and was dating Dakota Mortensen at the time of the incident.
Mortensen reportedly tried to help Taylor during the incident and said that she is going through a lot in her life right now.
She was charged with three misdemeanors: assault, criminal mischief, and domestic violence in the presence of a child.
According to the police, the incident resulted in injuries to both her boyfriend and one of her two children.
The police also received additional video evidence related to the case that resulted in the case being referred to the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office for screening of felony assault charges against Taylor.
Taylor pleaded not guilty to the charges on March 13, 2023, claiming that she is now on antidepressants to combat her issues.
One of the metal chairs allegedly fell and hit one of Taylor’s kids, who was sitting on the couch during the alleged argument, leaving them with a “goose egg” on the head.
The TikToker shares her daughter Indy, 5, and son Ocean, 2, with ex-husband Tate Paul. The couple divorced in June after Taylor went “too far” with one of her friend’s husbands.
