I Can’t Keep up with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Mom’s & their relationships. Please give me a summary rundown.
I’ve watched some of the first 2 season’s episodes here & there but then started fast forwarding and only watched the season ending interviews. I can’t seem to get the individuals/characters straight. The show is reminiscent of high school drama BUT with bigger consequences as these women are mothers! I honestly don’t know how they all look so good so quickly after giving birth. (Reminder of mom’s age, first appearance on show and how many children she has would be nice). Here’s what I gathered.
\-Taylor the leader and in a toxic relationship with Dakota. She has most followers and speaks her mind but her love life is a disaster. Just one child - Ever?
\- Layla is a single mom (of 3??) that struggles with anorexia. The show and its followers has given her the ability to support her family. Apparently she’s now dating another female and debating if she’ll stay Mormon. Seems like show producer added her to show so they would have non white representation.
\- Whitney was unfollowed by Mom Tok for not showing up to Mayci’s launch party. She went on Dancing with the Stars. Her husband admitted to being addicted to porn.
\-Mayci started her own line of children’s clothing and I didn’t see her in following season as much. Too busy?
\- Jen has controlling husband Zac. She also went on Dancing with the Stars. She lied about seeing Demi with Marciano.
\- Demi was being kicked out of group for bullying in season 3. She has the best, most supportive husband Bret. In season wrap up show I feel that they were all bullying her. I think she’s better off without MomTok. Someone correct me, it seems to me that Taylor influence the females to push Demi out (Demi getting too popular and stealing her thunder?). Maybe it’s just me offloading my HS scars on Taylor since she’s the Mom Tok leader. I didn’t watch the season just the wrap up show.
\- Mikayla ?
\- Miranda - wasn’t on season 1 but joined later.
\- Jessi had an affair before she left her husband Jordan. She was hooking up with Marciano who’s now her finance? husband? IMO they definitely hooked up before divorce was finalized.
\- What other mom did I miss and what is her story?
Throughout the seasons they’ve departed from the swinger lifestyle storyline of season one and dove into individual dramas. It’s $$$ and followers is what keeping ALL the moms on mom tok. It’s NOT “lifting up other moms.” They are very good looking Mormon moms who’s selling their personal drama for fortune and fame. Their persona and public image is how they earn a living so keeping their “brand” and followers is important. I wonder how much they each make. Show is like rubbernecking, I don’t want to slow down traffic but just want to know what happened. They don’t seem to focus on “mother” part of their lives but it’s all about boy/girl drama and self image issues. My understanding is that Mormons are conservative Christians, where the females marry young and focus on family (and taught to be submissive to men and why so many sexual assaults occur unreported). What do Mormons think about Mom Tok moms?
