"Do you think her season is going to air?" Kaitlyn asked Stassi.

"I did think so, like, a month ago. And now, I don't think so," Stassi replied.

"I know. You never know," Kaitlyn said.

"You never know," Stassi agreed. "I think seeing everything play out online right now, I just don't see [it happening]."

Taylor has been fighting her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, for custody of their two-year-old son, Ever True, ever since the pair accused each other of domestic violence in February and subsequently filed dueling protective orders.

Taylor has also been at odds with her ex-husband, Tate Paul, when it comes to their custody arrangement over their two kids: son Indy, 8, and daughter Ocean, 6.

"It's too much," Kaitlyn noted of the Taylor negativity online.

"Yeah," Stassi agreed.

ABC announced its decision to cancel Taylor's The Bachelorette season on March 19 -- several days before it was scheduled to premiere -- after a 2023 video leaked of Taylor verbally and physically attacking Dakota.

Kaitlyn said that she hopes Taylor and the people involved in her situation can "focus on themselves," and Stassi added how "healing" needs to be done.

"Taylor and I, we briefly talk once in a while," Kaitlyn noted. "I feel like she's trying to use her voice but she's self-sabotaging in the process, and I just believe in her."

Stassi concluded, "I totally -- you said it perfectly."

Around the same time ABC pulled the plug on The Bachelorette's 22nd season, Hulu halted production on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' fifth season, but cameras recently started rolling again.

Taylor checked into rehab stint after Tate had filed for a temporary restraining order against her in late June. However, a judge rejected Tate's request.

Utah's Division of Child and Family Services then filed a petition in July asking a juvenile court to determine that Taylor's three kids meet Utah's legal definition of "abused, neglected, or dependent" children, TMZ reported.

According to the DCFS filing obtained by People, DCFS representatives visited Taylor at home and discovered concerning behaviors, including an incident in which Taylor "stormed out" of her house after "looking up messages on social media."

"The mother left DCFS alone in her residence, and DCFS had to lock up her home after she stormed out," the filing read, adding how there's been a "lack of progress in the child and family plan" since Taylor and Dakota's case was opened in April.

"The mother stated that she is being treated unfairly because of her 'status.' Furthermore, when DCFS suggested the families first program intervention, the mother became escalated and dysregulated."

In late July, Taylor reportedly rejected modified custody proposals from both Dakota and Tate.

In addition, Taylor made headlines this summer for feuding with her Mormon Wives co-stars.

In one Instagram post, Taylor belittled her co-stars success and bragged about career opportunities she's been offered, but she later apologized for acting out of character.
