Where Mormon Wives #MomTok Influencer Community Stands 2 Years After Sex Scandal

Two years after a "soft swinging" sex scandal, the #MomTok community is stronger than ever.
In fact, the group of Utah-based, Mormon TikTokers—who made headlines in 2022 after member Taylor Frankie Paul exposed some of the couples' extramarital affairs—will prove their faith and friendship can weather any controversy on Hulu's new docu-series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
"When you watch the full season, you'll see it progressively get better and us connect again," influencer Whitney Leavitt exclusively told E! News. "But when it first happened, it definitely did break us up. Just because we were all trying to process what just blew up the Internet. We all just needed a minute."
Costar Mayci Neeley echoed, "I think, too, it was scary for some of us, because we were being called swingers and getting labeled."
Both Whitney and Mayci—who have a combined 3.3 TikTok followers—have denied they and their husbands participated in the partner swapping.
"We were all just a little concerned about our reputation and judgment a little bit," Mayci added of their community’s initial fallout. "I think the group split in half when it first happened and now it's slowly recovering over time."
On the new reality series, fans will see just how the women came back together, specifically the once-strained friendship between Whitney and Taylor.
"We definitely make up,” Whitney explained. "Our friendship's closer than it has ever been. It's so cool to see throughout the season the process of reconnection happening."
And while the content creators were initially nervous to air their drama for the world to see on TV, Mayci thinks filming the show helped their friend group heal.
"Doing the show actually helped the progression of their relationships," the 29-year-old noted, "because if not, I don't think you guys would have ever talked. I think they are closer today because of filming the show and working through the feelings and traumas."
As for where the #MomTok influencer community stands today?
Though Whitney, 31, believes there are “definitely ups and downs" in the friend group, Mayci has a different outlook.
"Whitney has a different perspective I would say based on what happens towards the end of season," Mayci shared. "For me, I'm close with all the girls. I feel like I start trusting them more and more the more you spend time with them. I feel like it is stronger."
See the drama play out when The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premieres Sept. 6 on Hulu. And keep reading to meet the entire cast.
