However, there has been speculation that Cook’s relationship with Taylor developed since she was in her teens. Some Redditors had further insinuated that the two might have been involved with each other when Taylor was underage. These theories seemingly spawn from the fact that Taylor was first tagged in the actor’s Instagram post on October 8, 2016.

At the time, she was around 17. The majority of these public allegations were spawned from writer Tracie Egan Morrissey’s claims about the couple on her Instagram stories. In one of her stories at the time, she claimed:
“She was 100% under age when they first began hanging out.” Around 2016, Dane Cook hosted multiple “game nights” with his friends and invited numerous well-known celebrities who were almost always in their teens.

All of the aforementioned instances when Taylor was spotted with Cook in a group setting, were compiled by the Redditor u/sendchickens from the comedian turned actor’s Instagram posts. It seems that all the grooming allegations came from the ‘investigation’ by Morrissey. Thus, it must be noted that there are no confirmed claims that Dane Cook and Kelsi Taylor’s relationship began when she was underage.

Sayyid@SayyidFBThey (straight people) don’t believe Dane Cook is a groomer b/c they think it’s natural. Wealthy men are supposed to be “rewarded” w/ young women for succeeding under capitalism. Gay relationship however, are unnatural and thus someone has to be perverted or turned in someway.

After the two publicly began dating, numerous comments and Reddit posts alleged that the comedian was a ped**hile. They further made unproven claims about him grooming Taylor since she was 17.
