Third 'Secret Lives' cast member quits, citing morals conflict

Mikayla Matthews announced she is leaving "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" days after Season 5 aired, becoming the third original cast member to exit the show. In an Instagram post Monday, Matthews said there is "no amount of money worth going against my morals," according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

Matthews did not specify what moral conflicts drove her departure but called out unspecified concerns in her announcement. Her exit follows two other original cast members leaving the Hulu reality series.
