Taylor Frankie Paul Shares She’s on Antidepressants After Rehab Stay

Taylor Frankie Paul Speaks Out After Rehab Stay, Shares She's on Antidepressants

Taylor Frankie Paul isn't keeping this part of her life a secret.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star broke her silence on her recent rehab stay, speaking out not to "clear up any rumors," but rather to remain an open book about her mental health.

"I knew that I was in a spot to take a step back and be like, ‘OK, we need a reset,'" Paul said in a series of videos posted to her Instagram Stories July 6. "Number one priority was just a reset for my mental health and to get away—decompress, whether it’s one day, whether it’s seven, whether it’s 30. I willingly did that. That was my choice."

The 31-year-old went on to lament that her time in treatment—which she called "actually doing the right thing of noticing I needed extra help, and whatever that may be"—had been "weaponized" against her.

She added, too, that she recently found medication that has also helped her.

"I ended up finding a really good antidepressant that has been working for me," Paul shared. "I will share the meds eventually, however, I like to trial and error before I talk about them because it takes a while to set in, and I would hate to be recommending something that I don’t even like myself."

Her comments come after a source with knowledge of the matter told E! News that the reality star—whose season of The Bachelorette was put on pause earlier this year after video of an altercation between her and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen resurfaced—she'd completed a stay in a rehab facility "on the advice of her mental health team."

"She is committed to working on herself," the insider added of Paul's time at the facility, which specializes in providing mental health treatment in addition trauma and addiction, "and focusing on her family and being a good mom."

The mother of three—who shares Indy, 8, and Ocean, 6, with ex-husband Tate Paul and Ever, 2, with Mortensen—had previously spoken out after her ex-husband filed for a temporary restraining order against her (The request was denied, per a court order obtained by E! News July 1.)

"My holdback while being trashed and bashed needs to be studied," she wrote on the first selfie, adding emojis that suggested she had receipts at the ready.
