American Horror Story star has no time for age gap critics
Paulson has no time for people who are judgmental about her age-gap relationship with Taylor, who is 32 years her senior.

The actress first spoke about the subject in a 2016 interview with The New York Times, explaining she fell head-over-heels for Taylor because she is “probably the most exquisitely beautiful woman I’d ever seen”.
She added: “If my life choices had to be predicated based on what was expected of me from a community on either side, that’s going to make me feel really straitjacketed, and I don’t want to feel that.
“What I can say absolutely is that I am in love, and that person happens to be Holland Taylor.”
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar last year, she added that “a bunch of strangers claiming me as their own feels a little confusing.”
She continued: “Our own ageist thinking and the idea that to be old is to cease to have any desire.
“Anybody says anything about any person I love in a way that is disrespectful or cruel and I want to cut a b***h.”.
