When your life is broadcasted out there in these headlines, it’s like the end of the world, that’s what it feels like — I’m not going to lie. I will say I’ve been here before and I got through it and I’ve shared my story and my light, and I’m hoping I can do that again.”

She added, “Honestly, it’s been a heavy time to see the headlines, especially during this time of The Bachelorette being released, and it’s supposed to be a really exciting time. I’m a person that will always speak my truth and that’s what I’m known for and so when the time is right, I will be. But right now just trying to be in the present moment and focus on this.”

Taylor was also asked about production reportedly being paused on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, saying “I don’t call the shots with production … as far as I know it was [paused], but I don’t know for how long.”

Tay also addressed her future on the show, saying “When your life is broadcasted out there in these headlines, it’s like the end of the world. That’s what it feels like, I’m not going to lie. But I will say, I’ve been here before and I got through it and shared my story … so I’m hoping that I can do that again.”
