A sex scandal rocked the MomTok community of Mormon moms two years ago, when influencer Taylor Frankie Paul announced her divorce due to violating the terms of an open relationship. The scandal led to a docuseries on Hulu called “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” which follows eight influencers navigating the fallout. Despite initial drama and shunning, the scandal ultimately brought the women closer together. Paul admitted to cheating and later introduced her new boyfriend. The rest of the community faced assumptions about their involvement in the swinging arrangement, despite most of them not being part of it.
Paul’s reputation was further damaged by an arrest during an altercation with her new boyfriend, causing a rift in the MomTok community. The series delves into the personal dramas of the influencers, showing their struggles with divorce, co-parenting, and mental health. However, being an influencer has allowed them to explore interests and hobbies beyond traditional roles as stay-at-home moms.
The MomTokers hope the docuseries will help viewers better relate to them and understand the complexities of their lives. They also aim to show that Mormon culture can be accepting of different lifestyles, despite facing harsh judgment. The show offers insights into how the women handle personal challenges, such as catching a husband on Tinder and controversial videos posted in difficult situations. Ultimately, the women featured in the series aim to share their stories, struggles, and triumphs with a broader audience.
