Taylor Frankie Paul says she’s on a healing journey amid her ongoing custody battles with her exes, Tate Paul and Dakota Mortensenbut it didn’t look that way earlier this week when she enjoyed a night out with several young men.

After saying she was taking a break from men following recent relationships with Dakota, 33, Doug Mason29, and Ben Lambertthe 32-year-old Secret lives of Mormon women alum was spotted in a photo with several men, one of whom poked fun at one of her domestic violence incidents with Dakota.

“Off to LA… I’m going to make it like I’m on time too, actually early,” Taylor wrote in the caption of an Instagram Story on Sunday.

Then, after missing her flight, she shared a photo of herself in someone’s kitchen, along with a caption that read, “Missed flight on to a scary night.”

When a Reddit user shared the image of Taylor and the men and said they were “thinking [she] on swearing men,” measured others.

“I get that everything has been bait and switch, but this is disappointing,” said one person.

Others accused Taylor of “[loving] the attention they give her” and being “chosen of me.”

“She always impresses men,” said a suspect.

“I think it’s interesting that she doesn’t see that this is not the flexibility she thinks it is in the current zeitgeist,” said another Reddit user. “No one wants to watch a woman who has a pathological need for male attention and endless validation at the expense of her children.

Adding to the backlash was the fact that one of Taylor’s men was joking at a 2023 meeting between Taylor and Dakota, when her daughter Indy, 9, was reportedly injured when she threw a chair.

“Pumpkin carving 2026. Thanks for coming [Taylor Frankie Paul]!!” wrote a man named Sam with another group photo, surprisingly saying, “(We hid all the chairs before she came don’t worry).

After the post was shared, Steph With the Deets openly criticized Taylor’s hanging, and several of her followers agreed that it was not a good look.

“Imagine being an ‘advocate’ for mental health and causing trauma and suffering to your children while you are ‘healing,'” wrote one commenter in response to the video.

“Here [is] focusing on herself,” said another.

Then, as several people commented that Taylor was “male in the middle,” another asked, “She’s the only woman? So weird.”
