At one point in the video, which was released by TMZ on March 19, Paul throws three metal barstools at Mortensen. Her daughter, Indy, who was 5 years old at the time, is near Mortensen as the chairs are being thrown. A spokesperson for Paul issued this response to the video’s leak: “It’s sad to see the latest installment of his never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child. Releasing an old video, which conveniently omits context, on their son’s birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior. Thankfully, the public has seen this act before and knows who he is and sadly, many will recognize this pattern of manipulation, both in his actions on the show, and from their own experiences.” Popular on Variety Jump to Comments More from Variety Val Kilmer Resurrected by AI to Star in ‘As Deep as the Grave’ Movie — First Look Loading comments...
