In March, TMZ published footage of a 2023 domestic incident involving Taylor and ex Dakota in which she appeared to throw a bar stool at Dakota during a heated exchange. That same day, ABC pulled the new season of <em>The Bachelorette<\/em> starring Taylor from its schedule.<\/p>\n<p>After the footage went public, Dakota, 33, was granted a temporary protective order against Taylor and temporary custody of their 2-year-old son, Ever, in March. Taylor was granted her own protective order against Dakota in April. During an April 30 hearing, a judge approved protective orders for both Taylor and Dakota for a period of three years. No changes were made to the couple\u2019s custody arrangements for Ever at the time. (Taylor is currently allowed up to eight hours of supervised visitation with her son.)<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis has been a very toxic relationship.
