“SLAP HER, BROOKE” – Eric Cheers Brooke as She Slaps Taylor | Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers

The shocking aftermath of the locked dressing room debacle has left Forester Creations in turmoil, but the true storm is only beginning to brew. What initially seemed like a fashion show fiasco has now escalated into a deeply personal and emotionally charged war between two longtime rivals — Brooke Logan and Taylor Hayes. And this time, there’s no pretense of peace. The gloves are off, the lines are drawn, and Eric Forrester has finally chosen a side.

Once known for playing peacemaker, Eric is now openly backing Brooke. His patience with Taylor has worn thin, and he’s no longer shy about voicing where his loyalty lies. In his mind, Ridge’s heart has always belonged to Brooke. Taylor? She was just a scenic detour in Ridge’s long and winding love story. And now, after Taylor’s careless mistake that nearly wrecked the fashion show, Eric has found all the justification he needs to stop pretending. “She’s a liability, Ridge,” Eric says in a hushed conversation with his son. “Brooke builds you up. Taylor? She drags you into chaos.”

With Eric’s support bolstering her confidence, Brooke wastes no time. She initially tries to keep things professional — at least on the surface. She approaches Ridge with a pointed suggestion: maybe it’s time Taylor steps away from the company. Her argument? Stability, professionalism, and protecting the brand. Ridge, of course, is torn. Old loyalties tug at his heart, but the logic behind Brooke’s proposal is hard to ignore.

Brooke doesn’t wait for Ridge to make a decision. Instead, she takes matters into her own hands — literally.

Backstage at Forester, away from the glimmer of runway lights and curious eyes, Brooke confronts Taylor in a tense, private showdown. Her voice is calm, but there’s venom behind her words. “You don’t belong here,” Brooke says, her tone razor-sharp. “You never have.”

Taylor, stung but far from defeated, fires back. She reminds Brooke of the core values Forester Creations was built upon — family, unity, collaboration. “You think you can erase me?” Taylor snaps. “You can’t rewrite history just because it doesn’t suit your fantasy.”

The verbal jabs spiral quickly. Brooke accuses Taylor of sabotaging Forester’s reputation with her impulsiveness. Taylor counters with her own accusations, calling Brooke manipulative, self-serving, and power-hungry. Every sentence drips with years of unresolved bitterness. And then, it happens.

In an explosion of raw emotion, Brooke slaps Taylor across the face — hard.

The smack echoes through the hallway, freezing everyone within earshot. But the most surprising reaction comes from Eric, who had quietly been observing nearby. He doesn’t step in to stop the argument. He doesn’t rush to Taylor’s defense. Instead, he stands motionless, arms folded, silently validating Brooke’s actions. That silence? It says more than words ever could.

Taylor, stunned and humiliated, turns to Eric. Her eyes plead for support — a sliver of the respect or loyalty she once thought she had from him. But all she finds in his gaze is quiet approval. For Brooke. Not her.

“You were never on my side,” Taylor murmurs, her voice thick with disbelief and heartbreak. “Not then. Not now.”

Brooke, unapologetic, only offers a cold smile. “Consider this your eviction notice,” she says, without a hint of remorse.

Taylor walks away — shoulders squared but heart shattered. In that moment, she realizes she hasn’t just lost her position at Forester Creations. She’s lost her illusion of family, her sense of belonging. Everything she thought she had with Ridge, with the Forresters — gone in a slap.

But is this truly the end of Taylor Hayes?

Not likely.

As Taylor disappears into the shadows, a different energy begins to rise within her — a silent vow that she won’t go down like this. The Brooke she’s known for decades may have drawn blood, but this may just be the spark that awakens a fiercer, more formidable Taylor than anyone has seen before.

And what about Eric? Is he truly guiding Ridge back to his destiny with Brooke — or has he inadvertently stirred the pot too much? His manipulations might have temporarily tipped the balance in Brooke’s favor, but they’ve also ignited something dangerous. Taylor isn’t the type to stay silent for long.

The question now isn’t just about who Ridge will choose. It’s about who will rise stronger from the fallout.

So where do your loyalties lie — Team Brooke or Team Taylor?

Let us know what you think, because after this slap heard ’round Forester, there’s no going back. The war is on, and in the glamorous chaos of Los Angeles, nothing stays buried forever — especially not grudges. Stay tuned. The next chapter promises even more twists, betrayal, and maybe a Taylor who’s done playing nice.
