Cast of ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ reveals status with Whitney Leavitt
The The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Stars are sure that #MomTok can survive without Whitney Leavitt.
“(In) our real circle of friends, we forget that she is a part of it.” Jessi Ngatikaura joked during the Wednesday, September 11 episode of the Viall Files podcast. “We really forget she’s on the show. I do.”
Demi EngemannMeanwhile, she said she gets a “jump scare” every time 31-year-old Whitney shows up for “content (shooting) days.”
Whitney was one of the OG MomTok influencers and ultimately decided to leave the group chat in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season finale. (Whitney, who is currently pregnant with her husband, Connor Leavitt‘s third baby, claimed she wanted to concentrate on her life as a settler.)
The Disney/Fred Hayes Mormon “Momtok” has made its way from your phone to your TV with the upcoming Hulu series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” The influencer moms took TikTok by storm in 2022 with their unconventional lifestyle while “breaking a norm” associated with their religious practices and gender roles. The group subsequently experienced a scandal when (…)
In the group interview on Nick Viall‘s Podcast — only Whitney and Taylor Frankie Paul (who conducted her own interview with the former Bachelor) were absent – the 43-year-old host asked if the ladies “hated” Whitney.
“I don’t hate her, (but) I don’t respect the inconsistency,” said Demi, 30. “That scares me … and she’s like, ‘Huh? People don’t want me in the group chat?’ You left the group chat, what do you mean? I’m not going to play the game, that’s so school-age to me. I don’t respect her. I don’t like her, (but) I don’t have that much energy to devote to her. I don’t respect her process at all.”
Accordingly Mikayla MatthewsWhitney has not “apologised” to anyone at MomTok.
“I think she could apologize, but I don’t think we would ever be the same friends again,” explained 24-year-old Mikayla. “I could be polite. Now I’m not even really polite because I know she’s not going to change.”
Mayci NeeleyHowever, the last remaining The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives personality to remain on friendly terms with Whitney.
“We’re still friends, but we’re not as close as we were on the show,” Mayci, 29, said on Wednesday’s podcast episode. “She left me hanging, which was pretty disappointing because I literally had her back the whole time through everything and I was in a situation where I was standing between two groups and it was the worst feeling and then at the end of the day the only thing she could have done to support me was come to my event or even text me or call me, but she didn’t do anything.”
Demi summed it up: “Whitney is hard to deal with.”
Whitney meanwhile said We weekly that she did not make her decision to leave the group “lightly” and joked about her position compared to her fellow influencers.
“I think I’ve definitely reconnected with some of the women, but not others,” Whitney said exclusively Usreferring to Mayci and Taylor, but remaining uncertain about her future on the Hulu docuseries. “I don’t know. I want to watch the show first and then we’ll see.”
