If you watched the inaugural season of Hulu'sThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives— the reality television series that follows the day-to-day lives of a group of Mormon moms who found themselves caught in the midst of a swinging sex scandal — it is no secret that Whitney Leavitt did not get along with her fellow #MomTok members: Demi Engemann, Jessi Ngatikaura, Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley andMikayla Matthews. While her biggest feud inThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesseason 1 was withher newfound bestie, Demi, we see drama between Whitney and Mikayla come to light inThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesseason 2, leaving fans of the reality television series with dozens and dozens of questions as to what happened between the twosome. Now, Mikayla is spilling the tea... WithThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesseason 2 premiering on Hulu and Disney Plus last week, the #MomTok members have been stopping by several media outlets and podcasts to talk about the show, as well as talk s--t (for lack of a better phrase) about their castmates. WithWhitney and Demi calling Jessi "fame hungry,"— as well asthe latter calling Jen "performative"— in respective interviews, it is now Mikayla's time to shine, dishing to Nick Viall ona recent episode ofThe Viall Filespodcastall about Whitney. "You were amazing this season, and a little messier," the Bachelor Nation member prefaced. "The first season you were just like demure and quiet unless Whitney walked into the room... I honestly respect how much you hate her, but like the trolling TikToks. Like, this season, you really did not back down. Being like, 'I can do whatever the f--k I want.'" Nick then argued that with Mikayla's petty social media posts, she might be "going past the point of standing up for [herself]" and instead ganging up on Whitney, even when the cameras weren't rolling. This is when Mikayla got the chance to share her side of the story. OnceThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesseason 1 came to a close, Mikayla said that Whitney pulled the victim card, "feeding into this role of like, 'Oh, make me your villain'" and arguing that the version of her we saw on our television screens was "all editing." With Mikayla — as well as the rest of the #MomTok members — knowing Whitney's true colors, she found it "harder to be quiet" when Whitney was spreading lies online about the edit she got on the show. According to Mikayla, "I didn't really have that drive to say as much until she brought like Mayci into it," defending her best friend. "She was posting Mayci's text messages — where Mayci was like backing her hard. Blindly almost — and I feel like that's when I got almost more defensive, because she was always a s----y friend to Mayci and I always told Mayci that, but it wasn't until after the show and she was like throwing Mayci under the bus." This is when Jessi chimed in, telling Nick — as well asThe Viall Fileslisteners — thatThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesseason 1 completely glazed over this friendship falling out between Whitney, Mikayla and Mayci. How wild is that? Nonetheless, Mikayla concluded, "Whitney has like that very victim mindset all the time. Like I said, every time she goes into something, 'Tell me your issues.' We tell her our issues, and she runs away crying and saying she's the victim. We're attacking her... it continued through season two. I had probably seven conversations that ended of the exact same way." Seemingly standing up for what's right and wanting to spread the truth, and nothing but the truth, we don't blame Mikayla for wanting to put Whitney in her place, even if that meant ruffling some feathers. Nevertheless, to see all the drama unfold for yourself, you may stream seasons 1 and 2 of the beloved reality television series via Hulu or Disney Plus. It's truly a must-watch!
