A rep for Taylor is lashing out at Dakotatelling us ... "It’s sad to see the latest installment of his never-endingdesperateattention-seekingdestructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child. Releasing an old and selectively edited video on their son's birthday is a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior."

The rep added"Thankfullythe public has seen this act before and knows who he is and sadlymany will recognize this pattern of manipulationboth in his actions on the show and from their own experiences.”
