"Stayed off my phone most of the day then got on just to see more videos directed to me and as a group they are STILL going and if I respond I'm in the wrong," Taylor, 32, wrote.
"The only reason I'm continuing the show is to share my story and hopefully help people. I originally had no desire to be around them either, but I have a bigger purpose."
The #MomTok influencer and mom of three continued, "I'm aiming towards and need to focus on that only. I have a good heart at [my] core and I just need to remember I'm not this evil person they want me to be."
While Taylor didn't name any women directly, fans on TikTok have speculated that she was referring to recent videos uploaded by her co-stars Mikayla Matthews and Mayci Neeley that may have been about her.
This isn't the first time Taylor has publicly feuded with her fellow Mormon Wives stars. She actually apologized earlier this summer for belittling her former friends' success and achievements.
Taylor also recently responded to criticism she had slept with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen while still engaged to her The Bachelorette winner, who is rumored to be Doug Mason.
The bombshell was dropped during a Season 5 episode of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, among other major spoilers and shocking details about Taylor's The Bachelorette journey.
On Saturday, September 12, Taylor acknowledged her cancelled The Bachelorette season and wrote, "Sorry to those that thought they were going to see my redemption arc. That has slowly just begun."
"I've stayed in, single and celibate this entire time," she added, "and nobody will have intimate access to me again unless he's my person -- and that's a promise to myself."
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives dropped its fifth season on Thursday, September 10 following a brief production hiatus during the height of Taylor and Dakota's legal and custody dispute over their two-year-old son, Ever True.
Taylor and Dakota had accused each other of domestic violence in February, but Taylor learned in April that she won't face charges.

People reported the following month that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives had resumed filming.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives executive producer Jeff Jenkins told Variety in late May that "everyone in the existing cast" had "strong opinions" about what unfolded between Taylor and Dakota.
In July, TMZ reported that Taylor was going to have limited involvement in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' fifth season amid her legal troubles.
ABC axed Taylor's season of The Bachelorette, Season 22, just several days before it was scheduled to premiere on ABC after a 2023 video surfaced of Taylor verbally and physically attacking Dakota in front of her daughter Indy, now 8.
Taylor is also mom to Ocean Paul. She welcomed Indy and Ocean, 6, with her ex-husband Tate Paul.
