because the video was released on the same day. That detail alone makes the whole thing feel even more devastating.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"3040\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2026\/03\/24\/celebrity-news\/taylor-frankie-paul-reveals-heartbreaking-way-leaked-fight-footage-affected-kids\/\">Page Six<\/a>, her daughter was already trying to move forward from the trauma of that night, and now the resurfaced footage has dragged it all back into public view.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Taylor Frankie Paul has now released a statement in response to the leaked video of her throwing the stools, with her rep telling\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/taylor-frankie-paul-on-shocking-2023-arrest-video-throwing-chairs-11930057\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Entertainment Weekly<\/b><\/span><\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s sad to see the latest installment of his never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cReleasing an old video, which conveniently omits context, on their son\u2019s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThankfully, the public has seen this act before and knows who he is and sadly, many will recognize this pattern of manipulation, both in his actions on the show, and from their own experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dakota has also released his own statement to<a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/taylor-frankie-paul-s-ex-dakota-mortensen-reacts-to-domestic-violence-investigation-11928813?_gl=1*133uyv9*_ga*MTIxMDQ1OTQ3OS4xNzE0MDc4Mzcy*_ga_DK3GDWHWJH*czE3NzM5MTczNzEkbzIwMyRnMSR0MTc3MzkxOTcwMyRqNjAkbDAkaDA.\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u00a0Entertainment Weekly<\/b><\/span><\/a>, saying: \u201cHis number one priority here is protecting [their 2-year-old son], Ever. He knew there was a possibility it could come out, but he was not going to be the one to proactively do that because he has always wanted a decent relationship with Taylor. It\u2019s been really hard to achieve that, but he wants to co-parent well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe was just hoping that if he says nothing, as he usually does, it would go away. He\u2019s never done any kind of sit-down interview about his side. He kind of just lets it all happen to him, and I think he realizes with the severity of everything now that he just can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>For all the latest reality TV
