A glimpse at the drama in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
In a recently released trailer on YouTube, viewers saw a glimpse of the upcoming series featuring a group of influential Mormon moms hailing from Utah. The trailer spotlighted Taylor Frankie Paul, the mastermind behind #MomTok, along with prominent members Demi Engemann, Jennifer Affleck, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, and Whitney Leavitt.
Taylor Paul's shocking revelation in the Hulu trailer hinted at a hidden secret within the seemingly cheerful group.
"Everyone is hooking up with everyone," commented Taylor.
Furthermore, Taylor disclosed in a live session that the group is categorized as 'soft swingers', where social gatherings involve drinking and partner swapping. She even attributed her divorce to the swinging relationships within the friend group.
In the preview, Taylor Frankie Paul's arrest was featured, showing her being taken into custody due to a physical altercation with her boyfriend, Dakota. She was charged with assault and domestic violence, which occurred in the presence of her child. After being found guilty of aggravated assault, the other charges against her were dropped.
Jen Affleck, a new cast member, is the wife of Zac Affleck, first cousin of the well-known actor Ben Affleck. In an interview with People, Jen expressed her enthusiasm about joining the show and discussing the significant events in her personal life. She shared that participating in the filming of this season felt like receiving a decade's worth of marriage counseling.
In a scene, one of the group members talked about lives with their partners.
“We were raised to be the wives of these men, serving their every desire, having kids by the age of 21 or, in my case 16,” said Mikayla Matthews.
The group is observed teasing the limits of the Mormon faith by engaging in activities such as party drinking and participating in scandalous swap events on the internet.
Women in the group emphasize that this show is intended to share the untold stories of their community, shedding light on unrevealed aspects of their faith. They are especially passionate about challenging and re-educating the public on traditional gender roles within their faith.
