It's been a week full of drama for "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Taylor Frankie Paul.

Not long after Paul called out her fellow MomTok moms on social media for ignoring her big moment as a presenter on the recent CMAs did another tea spilling drama begin to unfold. Two years following her soft-swinging scandal, one of the other women involved decided to share her side of the story in a multi-part TikTok series. But the drama doesn't end there as Paul doesn't seem to agree with Gibbons' side of the story.

Both Paul and Gibbons recently shared new videos on TikTok to address the issues, and fans are fully here for it all.

Let's tackle Gibbons new TikTok video first.

She wanted to "talk intentions and receipts" in the video she captioned, "Just so we're clear, she knew who the text came from, per our conversation. Also, interesting that she knew I was having moral anxiety about the swinging."

The caption went on to say, "Why would I come on here to try and hide from anything? I never denied my actions in ANY of it, in fact I said I DID participate. I will continue to take responsibility for MY actions and decisions, how they were wrong, and how they opened up a mess I wasn't prepared for. However, I refuse to be the scapegoat for their affair. At the end of the day, wrong is wrong, no matter how easy the opportunity is."

Gibbons said she's in a "very healed spot" and she hopes "other can learn" from her mistakes. She also revealed that she was offered a spot on the reality show multiple times and declined it every time.

"As for the receipts, let's talk about the video and text message," she said. "When that text message was sent, my ex and I were in St. George with a different group of friends, and her and her ex were in Moab."

Gibbons continued to show her receipts and explain what was going on from her POV. Some viewers dropped into the comments to side with Paul.

"Her asking if you have a moral hangover is just her checking in to make sure you don’t regret it, she’s not assuming you are having troubles morally she’s literally asking cause she doesn’t know lmao," one person wrote. Another said, "The text says y'all need to talk about it together but how would anyone guess that's you saying you didn't wanna swing anymore? That wasn't shown in the messages."

Another person pointed out, "You guys are doing a great job of keeping us entertained while we wait for season 2."

A few hours after Gibbons shared her last video, Paul entered the chat with her own newly shared TikTok video.

On the video is written, "Story time. It's the downplaying, victim mentality, while being an instigator herself."

"I am fighting two different battles at once, and I am literally exhausted," she began her TikTok video. "You know who came on with more receipts. This is the last thing I'm saying. If anything else comes out, I don't care. You guys can assume what you want."

Paul then reiterated what she's been saying all along about Gibbons enjoying it and "never wanted to stop."

"The receipts that she show are in April, by the way. To say that you're feeling like you're not gonna, you don't want to do this anymore. If she had wanted to stop, we had a planned trip in May to go to Mexico, but all six of us were like talking about our boundaries and what was gonna happen."

'My Story Has Been Consistent For Two Years'

Paul said that her story has been the same for the past two years and continued to share more details about why she believes Gibbons' story is not telling the whole truth.

"I've already admitted and apologized for my part. Knew I was a villain in that story as well and I've held a lot of guilt for that," Paul continued. "And timing of all of this sucks, because I'm coming out from one direction and I'm having to defend myself of not being a liar. Another direction of friends of mine that are no longer gonna be friends."

She concluded her video by sharing that she's "exhausted."

Many viewers shared their thoughts on the drama between Paul and Gibbons in the comment section.

"Babe, WE BELIEVE YOU. You have always spilled all the tea & been transparent. I’m sorry you’re going through this all right now. On that, Demi needs to shut the hell up," on fan wrote. Another said, "Some friends are only around for a season, and that's okay. you know your truth, you know what you experienced. the noise can be noisy. just keep doing you, working on you and moving on."
