Taylor Frankie Paul exits 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'
September 28, 2026 at 6:02 AM MT · via Los Angeles Times · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

Taylor Frankie Paul announced she will not return for future seasons of Hulu's 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' according to the Los Angeles Times. The reality star, whose 2022 soft-swinging scandal catalyzed the show's creation, said she 'doesn't desire to move forward' with the series.
Paul's departure follows the show's breakout first season and comes amid ongoing legal proceedings related to domestic violence charges filed earlier this year. The announcement leaves the future of the series uncertain, as Paul was among its most prominent cast members and central to the original MomTok controversy that launched the show.
