Paul\u2019s legal issues with ex Dakota Mortensen.<\/a><\/p>\nPaul wrote in her emotional post, \u201cI have STILL have \u201cfriends\u201d kicking me while I\u2019m already down and calling it \u201csetting a boundary\u201d and then BLAMES ME for being upset and responding. That\u2019s called shaming and attack while I had a moment to breathe and she knew that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a snake friend just did to me in the public eye after everything she just witnessed\u2026the lack of empathy and silence was loud enough,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\nTaylor Frankie Paul (pictured second from right) called out her \u201cThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives\u201d co-star Mikayla Matthews (pictured at center) in a fiery Instagram post on Mother\u2019s Day. Getty Images for SiriusXM<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAlthough Paul shared photos of her with her three kids in the post, she used the lengthy caption to accuse Matthews of kicking her while she was down. Instagram\/taylorfrankiepaul<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/aside>\nShe then specifically called out Matthews writing Saturday that she didn\u2019t want to pick sides between Paul and Mortensen.<\/p>\n
Paul responded, \u201cDid you see the hearing? Did you see the bruises? Yet she\u2019s bringing up \u201cpicking sides\u201d? Yes usually you do for friends you know go through that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul claimed Matthews didn\u2019t ever hear her side and ignored her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour trauma doesn\u2019t give you a pass to kick me while down and cover it with \u201ca boundary\u201d months later after the fact\u2026 she is right to state her \u201cboundary\u201d sure \u2026but go ahead tell them the truth,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\nPaul referenced Matthews\u2019 Instagram Stories Saturday, in which Matthews said she didn\u2019t want to pick a side between Paul and Paul\u2019s ex Dakota Mortensen (pictured here) amid the exes\u2019 legal issues. Taylor Frankie Paul\/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMatthews (pictured furthest from right) also said she was setting healthy boundaries in her friendships. Disney via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPaul admitted she was \u201cspiraling\u201d over the situation and called Matthews an enemy.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople calling me out yet I can\u2019t respond? Exactly what I will NOT be tolerating ever again,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThank you GOD for the people you sent to help me through this with my enemies so close.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an Instagram Story Sunday, Paul also defiantly wrote, \u201cI will not be sitting down, staying silent, or logging off\u2026 I did that for years on this. Trust me I can take a beating wether it\u2019s emotional, physical, or public scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her own Instagram Story Saturday, Matthews said she felt horrible for everyone involved in Paul\u2019s scandal, which temporarily shut down filming on season 5 of \u201cTSLOMW.\u201d<\/a> In March, Paul also temporarily\u00a0 lost custody of her 2-year-old son, Ever<\/a> \u2014 whom she shares with Mortensen \u2014 amid mutual allegations of abuse<\/a> between the exes.<\/p>\nBut Matthew pointed out, \u201cHowever, it is not my job to enable poor or dangerous behavior from either party, especially when children are involved. That doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t love them or want the best for their individual futures. It just means I cannot sit here and pretend it\u2019s OK that years of destructive behavior are now being discussed more than ever online and turned into a \u2018pick a side\u2019 game.\u201d<\/p>\nPaul called Matthews a \u201csnake friend\u201d and an \u201cenemy.\u201d taylorfrankiepaul\/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPaul also blasted Matthews for having no empathy for her, despite having witnessed what she went thought with Mortensen (pictured here holding their son, Ever). TikTok\/@taylorfrankiepaul<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nShe also said she was there for Paul while she hit \u201crock bottom,\u201d despite her dealing with her own trauma and health issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery single time, the behaviors and patterns continued and were publicly praised for being \u2018messy\u2019 and \u2018relatable,’\u201d she wrote, adding, \u201cYou cannot save someone who is unwilling to participate in their own rescue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul responded in a comment,<\/a> accusing Matthews of waiting for her downfall and claiming she rarely ever cried to her for help.<\/p>\nShe also dismissively said of Matthews, \u201cShe can find her way to the door if she doesn\u2019t want to film with me.\u00a0Next.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
