Mormon Wives Ready For Filming Comeback Amid Taylor Frankie Paul Drama

The Drama Behind the Curtain

It looks like the spotlight’s ready to shine again on 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.' Production took a dramatic pause on March 16 after a major "blowup" between Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, as reported by TMZ. The drama didn’t stop there – allegations of domestic violence between Taylor and Dakota surfaced around the same time, resulting in a halt to her potential season on 'The Bachelorette.'

MomTok's Teasing Comeback

Despite the surrounding chaos, it seems the MomTok crew is raring to get back in front of the camera. On March 25, Layla Taylor and Mayci Neeley hinted at a potential comeback by resharing Deadline’s report of Jessi Draper’s chat on 'Call Her Daddy.' Layla’s rallying cry, "Let’s do this girls!" was echoed by Mayci’s playful Barbie reference, "We’re ready. It’s time to take Barbieland back."

“Me and the girls, we did decide to stop filming when we found this out because we were starting to hear things a little bit before it leaked," Jessi Draper explained, emphasizing the need to pause for everyone’s mental health. "We didn’t want to have to process all this information for the first time and then also be speaking about it."

Supportive Production & Future Hopes

Jessi Draper praised the show’s production team for treating the cast like family, halting filming to prioritize their well-being. "Production, network, they have been incredible to us," Jessi shared. "They paused things for a minute because I think they were like, ‘We care about you guys as people.’" She continued, acknowledging their approach, "You know what? This is our real lives and if we want this show to continue to be successful, we have to handle this the right way."

Back in March, a source confirmed nobody was filming, adding that Taylor was dealing with some "pretty serious stuff." Though Hulu hasn’t confirmed when the cameras will start rolling again, it’s clear the cast is eager to move past the drama and continue sharing their stories with the world.
