TAYLOR’S SMUG VICTORY LAP OVER BROOKE EXPOSES HER MASSIVE HYPOCRISY

Taylor Hayes Has Been Engaged for Two Seconds and She’s Already Gloating

The psychiatrist who literally developed broken heart syndrome over Ridge Forrester has the AUDACITY to tell Brooke Logan she’s the one who needs to move on? After Taylor had to desperately propose to Ridge herself at Il Giardino on June 25, 2025? Let’s talk about this jaw-dropping hypocrisy that has fans absolutely fuming!

The Engagement That Started It All

Taylor Hayes pulled what can only be described as a “life-changing ambush” when she whipped out an engagement ring and proposed to Ridge at Il Giardino. The man’s hesitation was so obvious that even Nick Marone, who was eavesdropping nearby, could see the awkwardness from across the restaurant. But Ridge – probably out of guilt over Taylor’s past heartbreak – reluctantly accepted. They celebrated at the Forrester mansion like this was some grand love story instead of what it really was: desperation in diamond form.

Then Nick did what any good half-brother would do – he went straight to Brooke and delivered the bombshell news. Brooke was stunned, struggling to process that Taylor had actually stooped to proposing herself. Because let’s be real here, when has Ridge EVER had to be convinced to marry someone he truly wanted?

Taylor’s Hypocritical “Told You So” Moment

But here’s where things get truly infuriating. Taylor, fresh off her engagement that she had to orchestrate herself, marched up to Brooke with the smuggest attitude we’ve seen in years. She had the nerve – THE NERVE – to tell Brooke that she’s the one who’s obsessed with Ridge and needs to move on!

Excuse me, Dr. Hayes? Should we review the receipts here?

Who literally stalked Ridge and Brooke in Monaco earlier this year? That would be Taylor. Who developed an actual medical condition – broken heart syndrome – because she couldn’t have Ridge? Taylor again. Who hooked up with Ridge approximately five minutes after he had a fight with Brooke? Oh right, Taylor! And who felt so threatened by Nick’s return that she desperately proposed to Ridge before he could change his mind? Say it with me now: TAYLOR HAYES.

The Fan Reaction Says It All

Viewers are NOT having it with Taylor’s smugness. One fan perfectly summed it up: “She thinks Brooke is the only one obsessed with Ridge and that she’s the only one that needs to move on? Why hasn’t Taylor moved on all these years while he was with Brooke?”

Another pointed out the obvious: “Taylor is always Ridge’s sloppy seconds.” Harsh? Maybe. True? Absolutely.

The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Taylor has been married to Ridge multiple times. She’s been left at the altar by him MULTIPLE TIMES. She’s had almost all of Brooke’s “leftover men” as one viewer brutally put it. Yet she has the gall to act superior?

Even more damning is the fact that these grandparents don’t even have their own place – they’re living at Eric’s mansion! As one fan sarcastically noted, “Like it’s some flex that these grandparents don’t have their own place. Brooke may be as pathetic as Taylor when it comes to chasing Ridge, but she’s at least got her own home.”

What This Really Reveals About Taylor

Taylor’s smugness isn’t confidence – it’s insecurity wrapped in desperation. She KNOWS Ridge didn’t enthusiastically accept her proposal. She KNOWS she had to take matters into her own hands because Ridge would never have proposed to her on his own. And she definitely knows that history shows Ridge ALWAYS goes back to Brooke.

This “told you so” attitude? It’s Taylor trying to convince herself as much as Brooke that this engagement means something. But as fans have pointed out, getting engaged or married to Ridge means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Taylor of all people should know this – she’s been down this road before!

The Ultimate Speculation

Based on Ridge’s pattern and the awkward way he accepted Taylor’s proposal, this engagement has disaster written all over it. Will Ridge leave Taylor at the altar again? Will he suddenly “realize” his true feelings for Brooke right before saying “I do”? Or will Taylor finally get her wedding only to have Ridge run back to Brooke within months?

The smart money is on Ridge pulling his usual move – getting cold feet and running back to his “destiny” with Brooke. And when that happens, Taylor’s current smugness is going to make her fall that much harder.

Because here’s the thing about gloating when you’ve had to beg for what you want – it never ages well. Taylor might want to save some of that psychiatrist wisdom for herself, because she’s going to need it when Ridge inevitably breaks her heart for what she claims will be “the last time.”

But will it really be the last time? Not if Taylor’s history of chasing Ridge despite repeated rejections tells us anything. The only question now is how long this engagement charade will last before the inevitable implosion. Place your bets, soap fans – this smug victory lap is heading straight for a spectacular crash!
