‘Mormon Wives’ Star Taylor Frankie Paul Calls Out MomTok Online

Is trouble brewing between the MomTok moms? A few recent social media posts might point in that direction.

Paul recently presented at the Country Music Awards, which was a big, exciting moment for the “Mormon Wives” star. After her exciting adventure in Nashville and posting about it on social media, she realized that none of her fellow MomTok moms commented on the moment.

Paul took to her Instagram Stories to subtly call out her friends. In her first Instagram Story, she wrote, “Not a single one of my girls from MomTok said anything on my CMA post, such a big night for me. Awkward.”

In a follow up Story, she explained, “I ruffled some feathers a little too much, but first off, we are not allowed to talk about any storylines so this is not made up by any means. I thought it was awkward that every single one of my friends was silent. That’s all I meant by that. I have a lot of supportive girls in this group and I never said anyone specifically is not supportive cause they are. But a single one, I just felt off by it so I made a petty post. Are we shocked?”

She then called out one person – Demi.

In the following Instagram Story, Paul went more into detail about Demi and support on social media.

“Since Demi is the most triggered by it, it’s interesting because she phone called me the other day saying, ‘I feel like you don’t really support me on social media.’ So it’s weird that it matters when it comes to her but when it comes to me, it shouldn’t be a big deal and they don’t have to bow down to me,” Paul said.

“Sure, you don’t have to like my stuff, that’s fine, again, now-a-days it’s your message without saying a message, and we can, I think all agree. For all the girls telling me I should have handled this differently and offline as they’re literally eating me alive online right now, maybe they feel justified but don’t come at me if you’re gonna do the exact same thing.”

Not long after she shared her side of the story on Instagram, Paul shared a video on TikTok making light of the situation captioned, “Hopefully they are silent then too.”  On the video is written, “Me acting clueless next time I have to see MomTok.”

The video quickly went viral with more than 2.2 million views and tons of comments.

“The fact that Mayci’s video is the video ABOVE this one,” one fan jokingly pointed out. Another added, “IMPO they aren’t/weren’t very good friends. They should have at least acknowledged you when it came to that situation and AT LEAST congratulated you. I’m sorry babe.”

Many others shared uplifting comments for Paul.

“Literally the only reason why I know any of these girls is because of you,” one person wrote. Another said, “You’re MomTok queen, and THEY know it.”

Not long after Paul’s IG Stories and TikTok video came a subtle rebuttal from MomTok moms, Mikayla Matthews and Mayci Neeley.  The words on the video reads, “Since we’re all called out publicly, there’s one more secret I have to share with you. I missed Taylor’s post yesterday. I didn’t comment either.”

The video quickly went viral, receiving more than 2.2 million views.

One viewer shared in the comments, “Taylor is making this whole thing deeper than it needs to be!” Another added, “Also could it just have been possible your algorithm didn’t show you?? I sometimes don’t see my friends posts for days after they post, it’s not intentional.”

Other viewers also shared reasons why Paul’s friends missed her posts.

“I literally run my business page for work and sometimes won’t see the posts that I MADE for like a week or more when I’m scrolling through my personal profile,” one person shared. Another said, “I don’t see posts from my friends for days or weeks sometimes… it happens.”

After a hugely successful first season on Hulu, the reality show that follows a group of Utah Mormon moms was picked up for a second season. The dramatic first season dropped in early September and immediately got fans hooked and wanting more.

The show follows the lives of a group of Utah Mormon moms – Taylor Frankie Paul, Layla Taylor, Whitney Leavitt, Demi Engemann, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, and Jennifer Affleck – and all the drama that follows the MomTok group around in their daily lives.

Season 1 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” can be watched, or binged, as many fans did, on Hulu. Season 2 is currently filming, and while a release date has not yet been announced, it’s looking like it should be sometime in spring 2025.
