Taylor reached a plea deal with prosecutors in August 2023 concerning accusations that she attacked Dakota — the same incident TMZ recently obtained video of. The majority of charges were dropped, but she pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. According to a progress report in February 2025, it appeared she had been fulfilling all the terms of her probation … which is scheduled to end in August 2026.
