The Sun obtained a screenshot of Taylor's fiery message, which the mom of three had captioned, "These desperate girls will do desperate things."
Taylor was married to Tate Paul from 2016 to 2022, and they share two children: daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5.
Following Taylor and Tate's May 2022 divorce, Taylor began dating Dakota Mortensen, and they made their romance public in July 2022.
Taylor and Dakota later welcomed a son, Ever True, together in March 2024.
Taylor's mother Liann May alleged that Taylor and Dakota are still in love, and that Dakota will sabotage her The Bachelorette season if he has a chance.
It's therefore assumed the "baby daddy" Taylor was referring to is Dakota; however, this has not been confirmed.
After Taylor deleted her video, she uploaded a post via Instagram Stories claiming that "the snake" wants to see her struggle.
Taylor wrote, "Anyone praying for my downfall please just stay the f**k away from me. AND anyone associated with these people moving forward, also stay tf away from me."
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star added, "Want to be friends with desperate snakes, you'll be no friend of mine."

I'll rise above and move on after I call them out. It's the principle of HOW it was done, not WHAT was done," according to Us Weekly.
Taylor then made it known that "the snake" wasn't her friend in the first place.
"This [is] my face saying help because she wouldn't get off me," Taylor wrote, sharing a throwback photo of the two women dressed up in western clothes.
"She kept trying to hug and kiss me... saying she just loved me but doesn't know me I guess."
Taylor added, "Again, my face [says,] 'Are we done?' Couldn't have me so you went for [an] easier target. Not friends because I KNEW BETTER. Girl BYE."
Taylor also reportedly posted several screenshots of the unidentified woman sending her DMs, asking to hangout and celebrate Taylor's birthday.
The #MomTok creator's shocking post has received praise and backlash on social media and Reddit.
Some fans have complimented Taylor for being candid and relatable, but others have criticized her for not being classy and mature.

Taylor has said she's hopeful that she'll find true love and get engaged to the man of her dreams.
Taylor previously admitted to violating the rules of her and Tate's soft-swinging arrangement by becoming more intimate with another man in their friend group, which led to their separation and eventual divorce.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered in 2023 on Hulu, featured the cheating scandal and showed Taylor moving on with Dakota.
While The Bachelorette won't be returning until next year, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is set to release new episodes on November 13 on Hulu.
Two other stars from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, are currently competing on Dancing with the Stars' 34th season on ABC and Disney+.
When Dancing with the Stars premiered its new season on September 16, Taylor was in the audience supporting her friends and co-stars.
The Bachelorette's official premiere date and cast of bachelors for Season 22 will be announced at a later date.
