Taylor Frankie Paul: Last Instagram post
Paul's last Instagram post was a photo of her in what appeared to be a studio. She wrote “I for the first time sat down and watched this season and it was extremely hard to do. These aren’t just story lines these are our actual lives we are sharing.”
The reality tv star added “I’ll speak for myself on this, I’m not sharing to appease or switch “story lines” for anyone’s entertainment. A big reason I continue on is to potentially help someone. I know this because I’ve personally watched and listened to people’s experience and it helped me. Takes courage to share such vulnerable topics with an audience. My heart goes out to those around me that share and everyone else that continue to do so, the hugs will always outweigh the hate for me.”
