Summary
It seems like every day there’s a new legal update with Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen, so Ben and Ashley called in criminal defense attorney and legal correspondent, Alison Triessl, to get the facts of what’s actually happening.
Alison breaks down the situation into 3 legal “buckets” and walks us through the complexities of dueling protective orders, the future of Taylor’s probation, and we find out why everyone seems to have access to evidence like 911 calls.
Will Taylor's season be aired? Can the cast members sue the show? Alison is giving her expert opinion on all of it!
