The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Taylor’s Stunning Hypocrisy Exposed—Does She Forget Shooting Bill While Judging Finn?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Taylor Hayes has a lot of nerve these days as she urges daughter Steffy to leave husband Finn over his biological connection to the dangerous Luna. Has the psychiatrist conveniently forgotten her own violent history?

The drama unfolding on The Bold and the Beautiful lately has fans absolutely gobsmacked at the stunning level of hypocrisy coming from Taylor Hayes. The respected psychiatrist—who should probably be analyzing her own behavior—has been adamantly pushing Steffy Forrester to end her marriage to Finn because his newly-discovered daughter Luna poses a threat.

Let’s pause and reflect on this for a moment. This is the same Taylor who once shot Bill Spencer point-blank and then allowed Ridge Forrester to rot in prison while she kept her mouth shut about her guilt. I mean, you can’t make this stuff up!

TAYLOR’S SELECTIVE AMNESIA ABOUT HER OWN CRIMES

Viewers are rightfully calling out this mind-boggling double standard. In 2018, Taylor committed a violent crime herself when she shot Bill Spencer. And it wasn’t just the shooting—she initially let Ridge take the fall for her actions, allowing him to be imprisoned before eventually coming clean. This wasn’t some minor transgression or momentary lapse in judgment; this was a serious violent crime followed by a cowardly cover-up.

Now, fast-forward to March 2025, and this same woman is standing on her moral high horse, insisting that Steffy should walk away from the man she loves because his daughter has shown unstable, violent tendencies. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

A HISTORY OF MEDDLING IN RELATIONSHIPS

This isn’t even the first time Taylor has inserted herself where she doesn’t belong. Back in 2018, she actively tried to derail Hope and Liam’s wedding, causing drama and chaos. She’s developed quite the track record of relationship interference, which makes her current stance against Finn all the more baffling.

Fans have been quick to point out another layer to this hypocrisy: Taylor was perfectly fine with Liam staying with Steffy despite the fact that Taylor herself had shot Liam’s father. But now she can’t accept Finn’s connection to Luna? The double standard is breathtaking.

FINN VERSUS LUNA: THE BLAME GAME

What makes this situation particularly unfair is that Finn isn’t responsible for Luna’s actions, yet Taylor is treating him as if he is. Luna has certainly proven dangerous—with attempts to harm Steffy and a history of deeply disturbing behavior that fans describe as “deeply damaged and a clinical case.” But holding Finn accountable for his daughter’s actions while giving herself a pass for her own violent history? That’s rich.

One has to wonder if Steffy will eventually call her mother out on this glaring contradiction. Will she remind Taylor that she herself once committed a violent crime and let someone else suffer the consequences? Or will she continue to listen to her mother’s hypocritical advice?

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DOUBLE STANDARDS

There’s something particularly ironic about a psychiatrist failing to recognize her own psychological blind spots. Taylor justifies her shooting of Bill as an act of protection for Steffy, yet can’t extend the same understanding to Finn’s situation.

Perhaps what’s most fascinating about this storyline is how it reflects the complex, flawed nature of human beings—even those who are supposed to be experts in human behavior. Taylor’s inability to see her own hypocrisy makes for compelling drama, even as it frustrates viewers who can clearly see what she cannot.

Will Taylor ever recognize her double standard? Will Steffy follow her mother’s advice or see through the hypocrisy? And what about Finn—how long will he tolerate being judged by someone with blood on her own hands?

The tensions continue to build, and this storyline is far from over. One thing’s for certain: fans aren’t letting Taylor off the hook for her stunning hypocrisy, and neither should Steffy.
