Taylor Frankie Paul: Did She Ignore Daughter’s Injuries After Chair-Throwing …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As you’ve likely heard by now, Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette was canceled after video emerged of her assaulting then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.

One detail that stunned many viewers was the fact that one of the chairs Taylor threw struck her 5-year-old daughter, Indy, who was seated nearby.

Now, we have new information about the incident, the aftermath, and the reports that Indy suffered an injury.

In bodycam footage obtained by TMZ, an officer with the Herriman City Police Department calls Taylor’s mom, Liann, to check on Indy.

It seems that the officer had just reviewed cell phone footage shot by Dakota and realized that Indy might have sustained an injury.

One police report described the 5-year-old as having a “goose egg on her head.”

TMZ reports that police fears of a possible head injury or concussion that may not have been immediately obvious.

But Taylor’s mother insisted that the child was fine and was peacefully sleeping in her bed.

From there, TMZ reports, “the officer stressed that injuries in kids don’t always show up right away.”

Liann seemed unconcerned, but as many social media users have pointed out, people with possible concussions should not be allowed to sleep.

Thankfully, this all went down in 2023, and Indy did not suffer any lasting injuries.

Her mother, on the other hand, is still experiencing the consequences of that fateful night.

In addition to being canceled by ABC, Taylor might soon face criminal charges as a result of multiple allegations from Dakota.

In statements on the subject, Taylor has insisted that the video did not tell the whole story, and she was a victim of Mortensen’s abuse.

“Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security,” Paul said through a spokesperson, adding (via People):

“After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm.”

Taylor has yet to respond to allegations that she was unconcerned about her daughter’s injury.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Lainey Wilson Delivers Show-Stopping iHeartRadio Performance, Honors Miley Cyrus In Full-Circle Moment

Lainey Wilson turned heads at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday with a show-stopping, multi-song performance that had the crowd on its feet.

The performance opened in black and white as Wilson delivered the chilling first verse of her hit “Wildflowers and Wild Horses.” As the intensity built, the audience began clapping along while images of flowers and horses filled the massive screens behind her. After a goosebump-inducing high note, the song seamlessly transitioned into “Hang Tight Honey.”

Making her way toward the camera, Wilson declared viewers the “Cowgirl of the Night” (a moment fans know well from her live shows) before placing her hat over the lens. In an instant, the performance burst into vibrant color.

Wilson continued with the remainder of “Hang Tight Honey” before launching into “Heart Like A Truck,” this time without her signature hat. Commanding the stage, she covered every inch with confidence, dancing, shaking her hips, and interacting with fans throughout the set.

Following the performance, Wilson presented Miley Cyrus with the coveted iHeartRadio Innovator Award. The moment served as a full-circle milestone for Wilson, who once spent years performing as a Hannah Montana impersonator while working to launch her own career.

“Now I want to talk about one of my biggest inspirations, Miley…Miley Cyrus,” Wilson began. “Miley Cyrus is what happens when fearlessness meets evolution. She didn’t just grow up in front of the world. She redefined herself in front of it over and over and then over again from breaking out of a box. From breaking out of a box that people tried to put her in, to pushing boundaries in sound and style, in storytelling.”

Wilson went on to praise Cyrus for never compromising who she is and applauded her for leading the charge for other female artists. 

“She has never asked for permission and that is what makes her the innovator that she is. She keeps taking risks that most artists would not dare to take and turns them into moments that move culture forward. And whether it’s a stripped down ballad that cuts you to the core or a bold reinvention that gets people to talking, Miley reminds us that artistry is not about staying comfortable. It is about staying honest. And that kind of truth, it don’t just change music or the game. It changes people and that right there is what you call innovation folks and that is Miley Cyrus.” 

The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards aired live on FOX from Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

Kendra Caldwell Barred From Contacting Her 4 Children

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Following Joseph Duggar’s arrest, his wife was taken into custody.

Now, Kendra Caldwell and her husband are facing charges unrelated to his confessed crime of sexually abusing a child.

Though Michelle bailed out Kendra, that doesn’t mean that things are back to normal until trial for the 27-year-old mother of four.

In light of the charges, she is barred from any contact with her alleged victims — that is, her children.

Kendra is not allowed to communicate with her children

The Ashley reports that Kendra is on the receiving end of a no-contact order.

This legal instruction bars her from having any contact with her four children — Garrett, Addison, Brooklyn, and Justus.

Now, this order isn’t permanent. For now, it only extends until her court date in April.

It was one of the conditions of Kendra’s bond when she was released on Friday, March 20.

She agreed that she would “have no contact by telephone (including text), in person, by computer (including email), or through other people in any manner” with the victims.

Kendra’s bond was paid at $1,470.

Her next court appearance will be at a hearing on April 29.

Joseph will also be required to attend that hearing.

However, this particular court appearance will only be for the charges of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree false imprisonment.

Joseph is still awaiting extradition to Florida to face his charges of sexually abusing a then-9-year-old girl during a family vacation in 2020.

Both parents are facing charges, but Joseph’s facing more

As we previously reported, Kendra is potentially facing 8 years in prison.

Officially, we only know a limited amount about what the home visit that authorities conducted following Joseph’s arrest uncovered.

Duggar sources have leaked that “a couple of doors” only lock from the outside.

While a home where it appears that children are locked up as one would be in prison sounds bad, there are suspicions that these reports gloss over some of the findings that the Arkansas Department of Human Services uncovered.

That said, we do not actually know that yet. And while there are doubts that Kendra will face real consequences on these charges, it’s a rare but positive thing to hear about child welfare being taken seriously.

Given the kinds of childhoods that members of the Duggar family had, growing up in an abusive cult, it is grimly no surprise to hear that some have not grown up to be good parents.

In order to “break the cycle,” you first need to realize that what happened to you was wrong.

Meanwhile, Joseph’s other charges are something so vile that any of his family — except perhaps for Josh — knows that it was wrong. Including Joseph himself.

On a 2020 vacation, he allegedly got a 9-year-old girl to sit beside him and on his lap multiple times, touching her thighs and privates under the cover of a blanket.

We do not know the identity of this now-14-year-old child, save that she is not one of his nieces. We also do not want to know. She is listed in legal documents as Jane Doe.

Who are Joseph and Kendra’s four children?

In June 2018, Kendra gave birth to Garrett David, their first child.

In November of 2019, they welcomed Addison Renee, their second.

Kendra gave birth to Brooklyn Praise in February of 2021.

Some time in the spring of 2022, Joseph and Kendra welcomed Justus, their fourth child.

We do not know the current whereabouts of these four Duggar children.
