The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, Mikayla Matthews, seems to be shedding light on the unfolding saga involving a prominent figure from the MomTok community.
Following reports that the production of the popular Hulu reality series has been halted due to an investigation into domestic assault charges against cast member Taylor Frankie Paul, Mikayla hinted at the situation in a social media update.
The buzz began when Mikayla, alongside Mayci Neeley, addressed circulating rumors about them being romantically involved.
“Honestly, this is one of the more amusing rumors I’ve heard about myself in the past few days lol😚🥰😏,” Mikayla remarked on Instagram on Monday, May 16. In response, Mayci teased, “Who said it was just a rumor👀.”
Meanwhile, Jessi Ngatikaura from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives expressed her thoughts on the production hiatus of season 5, stemming from Taylor Frankie Paul’s legal issues with her former partner, Dakota Mortensen. Reports from TMZ and People on Monday, March 16, confirmed that the show’s producers decided to suspend filming earlier this month in light of the alleged incident.
Mayci’s own husband, Jacob Neeley, decided to join in on the chatter by commenting, “I don’t think MomTok would survive this type of scandal.”
Mikayla, however, had a different point of view.
“@jacob.neeley I think it’s the only redemption for MomTok right now,” she replied.
The comments come after news broke of an alleged domestic dispute between Taylor and her on-again, off-again partner, Dakota Mortensen. A Draper City Police Department spokesperson confirmed to Us Weekly on Monday that a “domestic assault investigation” involving the former couple is ongoing.
A source also exclusively shared with Us that the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast is “honestly terrified to film with Taylor right now” and revealed that the women “have made it clear they don’t want to be around her because they see her as a major liability.”
Although the insider noted that prior to the incident, the cast “believed Taylor was in a better place” after she filmed her season of The Bachelorette, the reality star’s latest incident has raised some concern in the MomTok circle.
“Now, many of them feel they’ve moved past the point of dealing with this kind of behavior and simply don’t want to be put in that position again,” the source claimed.
Taylor Frankie Paul seemed ready to start a new chapter without Dakota Mortensen while filming The Bachelorette, according to some of her costars from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Days before news broke that production on Mormon Wives season 5 was allegedly halted because of a domestic dispute between Taylor and Dakota, Mayci Neeley […]
Despite Taylor and Dakota’s drama, much of the cast is trying to move forward and continue to document the realities of their lives.
In her latest video, Mikayla asked Mayci to join in and mouth along to a sound from an episode of South Park that sees character Kyle Broflovski asking Eric Cartman, “What the hell are you doing going around telling people that we are a gay couple?”
After seeing the clip, costar Chase McWhorter commented, “MomTok Heated Rivalry would break the internet.”
