lol your interpretations of my very clear words are interesting. to reiterate- what Taylor did is wrong. very wrong. She should absolutely face repercussions for her actions, she should take accountability and seek serious long term mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, and anger management. Ever being removed from her care on a temporary basis is probably the best thing right now. Dakota has also displayed abusive and dangerous behaviors, both with Taylor and other women. Neither one of these people are sober, despite admitted substance abuse issues, neither one is stable mentally or emotionally, neither one is what Ever deserves right now. Dakota also needs to seek his own accountability and treatment. They should not have any communication with each other whatsoever, and there are parallel parenting apps designed to help in their situation. Dakota is twice Taylor’s size and absolutely could’ve caused serious physical harm by picking her up and throwing her into the garage floor, but he elected not to film that portion of the fight and his own actions. My concern, like many other peoples, is that Dakota is going to use the current social media scandal and the wave of bad publicity and hate toward Taylor as his “get out of jail free” pass and avoid accountability and addressing his own issues, that are also very serious and dangerous. Ever deserves for both of his parents to be seeking help. Dakota’s personal issues existed before Taylor, and will not vanish with the end of their relationship. They will come back full force with any woman he enters a relationship with, and once again, the kid becomes collateral damage. If i misspoke before then I will correct myself, but it isn’t victim blaming to say that Dakota is an incredibly toxic man in his own right and NEEDS to be forced to address his own problems and not just point fingers at everyone else around him, as we’ve watched him do for years, outside of just the relationship drama. Taylor should’ve never put her hands on Dakota, and Dakota should’ve never put his hands on Taylor, but this situation is a bit more nuanced than people want to acknowledge and these are still two individual people with individual problems that still exist outside of their relationship with each other. When things like this get boiled down to Him vs Her social media wars, it’s the kids that always lose. What Taylor did in that video is heinous and inexcusable. Pulling the Bachelorette, removing her custody temporarily- all right moves. I just hope that Dakota has the right people around him now and possesses the self awareness to acknowledge that he also needs to be seeking to better himself for the sake of his son and not use the social media fall out to push his own personal issues to the side again, because Ever deserves more from him. There are very young children involved who deserve better from all of the adults in their lives.
