The ongoing feud between the two reality stars has been keeping their fans and followers entertained while everyone awaits the second season of the show to hit Hulu in the spring of 2025.

Paul and Engemann have been throwing jabs back and forth via Instagram and TikTok, in videos, as well as in comment sections.

TikToker Tleiji, who goes by @stephwithdadeets on the app, has been keeping her followers up-to-date on all the tea spilling action between the Utah Mormon wives of MomTok.

The drama between the two reality stars all began when Paul called out her fellow MomTok moms for not acknowledging her big moment as a presenter on the recent CMAs. Engemann clearly took offense to being called out that way and so the war has begun.

Demi Engemann Left Comments On TikTok Videos About Taylor Frankie Paul

Tleiji explained all the drama for anyone trying to catch up.

"Demi has been busy in the comment section and what we could definitely conclude from her comments is that she most definitely does not like Taylor," Tleiji said in one of her videos addressing the MomTok battle. She then shared some of the comments that Engemann has left on the topic of Paul.

On one creator's video, Engemann left the comment, "Taylor will tell 'half' truths and then use her platform that she's built on manipulating her viewers to turn on people who aren't as nasty and loud sorry minor detail that is very important. Continue."

Tleiji said that while she "likes" Engemann after season 1, the comments she's been leaving "aren't doing her any favors."

Stephanie Tleiji Shared A Few Other Videos About The MomTok Online Feud

After sharing a few other videos talking about the drama between Paul and Engemann and thinking maybe she was done talking about it all, another video became necessary.

"I have to call out this comment where she is accusing Taylor Frankie Paul of dragging people," she said. "Demi has been going at it in the Queens of Bravo post."

Tleiji shared the comment she's referring to - "I know you didn't say that and I agree, no one deserves to be dragged online. I don't think anyone is dragging her, only defending themselves now against what she put out there. If anyone's getting bullied, it's US by her cult following!"

Demi Engemann Sent Stephanie Tleiji A DM

Just when fans thought maybe the tea was cooling off, Tleiji shared another video after getting a DM from Engemann herself.

"So someone sent me a little message yesterday. In real life, guys, if someone would ever send me a text that's like an essay long, I'm like, we could have a conversation, I'm not doing this, the back and forth, all the typing, no thank you," Tleiji said. "So, I guess you can take this as our conversation."

Tleiji said she doesn't feel that Engemann fully understands what she's saying. Engemann's DM starts off, "I'm not going to argue with your biased opinions on Taylor." And the rest of the message followed the vibe of that first sentence.

"Go ahead and keep her on a pedestal if you want without knowing how she is behind closed doors, I guess. I'll admit that I'm being defensive, what's confusing is why people are more worried about the one on defense than the offender? My intense reaction to her story post isn't coming out of nowhere! This is obviously a boiling point and everyone including yourself is completely turning a blind eye to the hundreds of red flags right in front of your face."

The video continues with Tleiji explaining her thoughts and more of Engemann's message. Viewers of the video had some thoughts to add.

"Demi WAS my favorite but she's a straight up mean girl now. She needs to take a breather," one person wrote in the comments. Another said, "I feel so torn. I literally love Demi and Taylor so much. They were my faves from S1 and I was so so excited to see Jessie, Demi and Taylor buddy up is S2."

'Mormon Wives' Star Whitney Leavitt Joined The Chat In A Hilarious Way!

Fellow MomTok mom, Whitney Leavitt, who was heavily received as the villain of season 1 and has been pretty quiet since welcoming her third child a few weeks ago, decided to jump in on the drama in a fun way.

In a recently shared TikTok video, Leavitt subtly refers to all the drama circulating around MomTok. Captioning her video, "What do you guys think of this plan?" she addresses the online insanity in a hilarious way.

Viewers didn't miss a beat with their thoughts in the comment section.

"Demi making you look like an angel, maybe I owe you an apology," one person wrote. Another said, "The way I'm now starting to realize Demi was the real villain and never you. Apologies."

One other viewer shared, "Secretly hoping for a Whitney and Taylor bonding opportunity."

So who's the real villain going to be in season 2 of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?" Season 1 is currently streaming on Hulu, and season 2 will be released in spring 2025.
