Almost three years ago, Mormon Momfluencer Taylor Frankie Paul hopped on Tikkok to say her 3.5 million followers that she was divorced after she was “gently swinging” with her friendship group in Draper, Utah. Paul claimed to have fallen in love with one of the husbands with whom she swung, and other moments sought to deny her commitment. Of course, the whole story blew up and now, Paul and some of her sisters of the past few days in a Hulu show, The secret life of Mormonian womenInspired by this tortur. The first season, which premiered last September, recorded a lot of drama, including Taylor's new relationship and the general Fallout from the swinging scandal. Now that the second season was premiered, a little refreshment with everything that happened is a little refreshment.

Previously, Paul was a staple from Mormon Mustok, in which she mostly released dance videos with occasional appearance from her then husband Tate Paul and her two young children Indy and Ocean. She also choreographed routines with a group of like-minded Mormon Tikk-Mütter, including Camille Munday and Miranda McWhorter, who often joked, were her “sister women”. ((More about them later.)))

Of course, before May 2022, when she claimed in a live stream that she and her husband had been in an open relationship and were “soft swinging” with other couples in her group of friendsWhat meant in her words that nobody went all the way together unless their spouses were in the room. “The whole group was intimate together,” she said in the video, which was quick Published online. Apparently, Taylor had injured the soft guidelines of the group. “To be honest, we had an agreement like all of us and I triggered this agreement,” she said, admitting that she had gone “all the way” with someone in the group. She insisted that it was “a unique thing”, but also admitted that she and the nameless man “had feelings for each other”.

Taylor said that after the incident she was “avoided” by her friends, even though she added that “nobody was innocent”. She also claimed that there were other people in the group who “had feelings”, probably for people who were not their spouses. “At the moment there are three divorces in our friend group,” she said. “One not really dealing with this situation, but there are two of us who can divorce.” At that time she said that the “majority” of Mentok was not involved.

Taylor also said she and Tate had good terms and the vibration incident was “the tip of the iceberg” in the problems that led to their divorce.

After Taylor's video, the fans speculate that other moments must have been connected to the drama. A number of moments contained the rumors, including Taylor's beast Miranda McWhorter and her husband Chase, who posted a video that they were not involved in swinging, and claimed that Miranda had a dispute with Taylor because Taylor started a rumor that Chase had feelings for her. Camille Munday, who previously said Taylor was never in the vibrating crew because she and her husband brought “too much drama”, gave comments about a completely different influencer account in which she and her husband did not swing. Mayci Neeley, Whitney Leavitt and Victoria Zalic also posted videos in which they were never busy swinging.

Taylor spent the next few months to publish updates to her life as a newly single mother and controversial TIKTOK sensation before a new type, Dakota Mortensen, started in her videos. Despite the speculation that Mortensen is the man with whom she swung “all the way”, she explained in a later video that he went down shortly after her swinging drama.

In 2023, Paul was arrested for assault and charges for budgetary force after she admitted to the police that she had thrown a wooden game and metal chairs in Mortensen, one of whom met her 5-year-old daughter. She owed one of the accusations guilty and agreed in a plea contract in September. In a video that was published after the plea deal, she described the incident as a “hit” and said it made me look for help that I did not get at the time, “added that she felt” blame, shameful and laying “.

Also in September 2023: Paul and Mortensen announced that they would expect a baby together. At this point, her account turned to pregnancy and postpartum content. In between, Taylor also posted a few reunification videos with a group that she called Mormon Mustok, although her old friends Miranda and Camille did not appear in their feed.

Pretty much everyone who published Taylor after their scandal. (Even in her TikKoks, this friendship group seemed to spend a lot of time with a camera team nearby.) In addition to Paul, the line -up belonged to Whitney Leavitt, Layla Taylor, Demi Engemann, Jessi Ngatikaa, Mikayla Matthews and Mayci Neeley. There is also Jen Affleck, a woman who claims to be Married to Ben Affleck's distant cousin, but does not seem to have a comprehensible connection to his family.

Although Leavitt and her husband spent some time to conquer the revelation that he had been secretly on Tinder for the entire marriage, and he claimed to have a porn addiction, everyone on the show contested that the swinging is involved (except at Taylor).

Actually a lot. Even without rumors that they rummage with the other's husbands, the Mormonic women found a lot of feud in Utah – the first season of the show mainly focused on Paul's fight against Leavitt for the crown of Mentok Queen Bee. Leavitt left the group chat at the end of the season, supposedly with plans to come into the homestead (Yep), but it doesn't seem as if this idea really got the ground. At the time of the second season of the show, she rented a house near the family in St. George and tells Vulture that she believes that she “falls in love with the idea of ​​the farm” than the real thing, as it is “so difficult to find land in which you can have chickens in a 15-minute radius”.

Even with the arrival of the second season, we finally have another survival of the soft swing scandal on the screen. Miranda McWhorter – remember her, Taylor's ex-BFF, who was closely connected to it Original Mustok drama? Enter the fight this season and fresh from her divorce of Chase. In an interview with People At the beginning of this month, McWisterer suggested that they might not have said the whole truth when she and her ex-husband denied being involved in swinging.

“I think many frustrations from Taylor were not completely authentic and truthful,” she said. “I just said:” Well, everyone didn't get together with everyone “, and I just left it. I understand why it felt unfair to them. I think there was a lot of fear, guilt and shame that played for me a role that I had to address in my personal life between my marriage, my religion, all of this.”

On the one hand, much more babies. Jen Affleck is currently pregnant with her third child – what she told People She learned it after briefly separated from her husband Zac. The beginning of the second season shows how they live apart, but since (apparently with the help of ketamine therapy) they have come back together.

Also pregnant with her third is Mayci Neeley and with her fourth, Mikayla Matthews.

Probably not, but maybe? Taylor told Taylor before the premiere of season two, Taylor said People How her relationship with Dakota really runs “from this day”. She said that “she works individually on ourselves and try to heal, not only for ourselves, but for our son”, but added: “Never say.”

The lemonades can only get bigger from here.
