The cast of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” isn’t playing nice any longer! According to a new report, a handful of them have unfollowed the show’s leading lady, Taylor Frankie Paul, after months of drama and internal conflict. The mass unfollowing also comes days after Paul clashed with Whitney Leavitt, who unfollowed her former MomTok colleague earlier in the week.
“SLOMW” loyalists noticed that several of the cast members have parted ways with Paul on social media, including Miranda Hope and Layla Taylor. According to TMZ, Paul actually unfollowed them first, and they followed suit. The only woman that Paul is seemingly still connected with is Jessi Draper, who voiced support for her earlier in the year amid Paul’s legal battles.
Taylor and Hope explained their reason for unfollowing Paul, with Taylor saying she decided to remove her from her Instagram after realizing Paul was no longer following her. Hope, on the other hand, said she didn’t understand why Paul unfollowed her to begin with, but said she’d no longer continue “investing in something one sided.”
Hope and Taylor’s actions come immediately after Leavitt unfollowed Paul on Instagram, according to The Blast.
Again, eagle-eyed fans noticed the transaction and were quick to call it out, with Paul responding, “Good.”
Paul, 32, went on to say that she was bothered by Leavitt’s actions, given that she was the only “SLOMW” who vouched for her return after she left the series more than once.
“I bet she doesn’t even recall that. The show I gave her grace against a whole cast MULTIPLE times,” Paul wrote.
While Paul said that she was proud of Leavitt and all of her success, which includes a run on “Dancing with the Stars” and “Chicago” on Broadway, the TV personality admitted she was deeply hurt that Leavitt seemingly turned her back on her while she was at her “lowest.”
“Let’s be honest, she’s been waiting for my downfall since day one, and she still ain’t gonna get it because she could have everything and still chose not to reach a hand,” Paul added.
Taylor Frankie Paul Rubbed Mikayla Matthews The Wrong Way
Before all of this, Paul went at it with another co-star, Mikayla Matthews, after she shared a TikTok video implying she was the reason her co-stars were experiencing success off the show.
In the video, set to the sound of Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now,” Paul showed screenshots of messages from someone who appears to be her agent offering her lucrative opportunities, such as new TV shows and even writing a book.
Matthews, though, wasn’t pleased with the clip and replied, informing Paul that her behavior made her look small.
“It’s honestly crazy that we’re even arguing about who created what or who’s more relevant. This show was pitched to us, by the way (me, Mayci, Whitney, and Taylor, about stay-at-home moms providing for their families and, of course, ‘MomTok,’ which we all know was started by Miranda, Camille, AND Taylor,” the mother of four commented.
Matthews added, “Constantly reposting things and repeatedly pushing the narrative of, ‘I’m the reason you have this, you only got it cause I turned it down, I’m a star and you’re not as interesting. Don’t forget it,’ seems like weaponizing and manipulating your following to keep yourself in that power position to intimidate the people around you over and over.”
Paul’s Legal Woes Continue To Mount!
Amid the drama with her cast, Paul is also dealing with deeply personal legal battles. Earlier this year, a Utah court official ordered Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, to stay away from each other for three years after they were involved in alleged domestic disputes.
Most recently, Paul was granted a temporary restraining order for “civil stalking” against Mortensen’s friend, Cru Eaton, after the latter allegedly posted a private video of Paul online.
Prior to that, Utah police officers confirmed in March 2026 that there were open domestic violence cases against Paul and Mortensen that were being investigated.
Amid the investigation, a shocking video from years ago showing Paul striking Mortensen and throwing metal chairs at him was shared online, prompting ABC to cancel her season of “The Bachelorette” and Hulu to pause production on season 5 of “SLOMW.”
Mortensen Wants To Focus On His Son With Paul
Mortensen released a statement after the video made its rounds, saying he was saddened by the state of his relationship with Paul and that his primary goal moving forward was to be the best father to the son he shares with her, Ever.
“I’m not perfect, and I take accountability for my part. I’m sincerely sorry to those I’ve hurt,” he wrote. “I’m closing an unhealthy chapter and moving forward with hope for better days ahead.”
