\u201cThe charges were all dropped,\u201d she later claimed on the \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d podcast in September 2025. \u201cI never did anything intentionally with my children. I never have ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following an alleged dispute with Dakota in February 2026, details from Taylor\u2019s prior arrest resurfaced, prompting ABC to pull her season of The Bachelorette<\/i> days before its March 2026 premiere.<\/p>\n

On April 14, 2026, multiple authorities announced that after an investigation they declined to press charges against the reality TV star.<\/p>\n
