What Happened With Jack Cassotta’s Parents?
Jack Cassotta’s parents, Taylor Dooley and Justin Cassotta, announced their divorce in August 2021.
According to Dooley, the reason for their divorce was due to the emotional abuse she experienced during their marriage.
“I’ve kind of gaslit myself over the years into thinking, ‘Well, I allowed it. I took part in it. I let a lot of it happen.’ I didn’t speak up for myself, and that’s how it kept snowballing,” Dooley shared in the Vulnerable podcast with Christy Romano.
In an Instagram post, Dooley states that she and her ex-husband will co-parent their children after the divorce. “I go forward with love and a commitment to co-parent our two beautiful children in the healthiest and happiest way imaginable as they are my priority,” the post said.
