A Sucky Love Story & Shane Dawson appearance (2018-2019)
In 2018, Taylor released a memoir titled A Sucky Love Story: Overcoming Unhappily Ever After, which was published by Post Hill Press and distributed by Simon & Schuster. In the book, Taylor discusses meeting the man who was to become the father of her child who, unbeknownst to her, was a sociopath whose intentions were covertly sinister. She details in the book the domestic abuse, psychological torment and close call with human trafficking that she endured at the hands of her partner. In 2019, Taylor publicly spoke on these experiences in a highly-viewed episode of Shane Dawson's conspiracy series on YouTube. Taylor and Dawson have been close friends since the late 2000s, having both started their YouTube channels at the same time and been featured in a significant amount of each others early content on the platform. Her story, featured in her writing, on television and in Dawson's web series, brought significant attention to the issues of domestic violence and online safety. Taylor's openness about her struggles with PTSD following these events has been a critical part of her narrative on her channel.
