It’s been quite the week for the members of MomTok and it doesn’t seem like the drama is slowing down anytime soon.
Two cast members of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” have broken their silence regarding their costar, Taylor Frankie Paul‘s alleged domestic violence incident that had the new season of “The Bachelorette” canceled, as well as season 5 of “Mormon Wives” abruptly put on hold.
Layla Taylor and Miranda McWhorter both recently shared Instagram Stories addressing the situation.
Layla Taylor Stands ‘Firmly Against Domestic Violence’
Layla took to her Instagram Stories to share her brief thoughts on Taylor’s current situation.
“My personal history as a survivor makes it impossible for me to stay silent,” she began. “I stand firmly against domestic violence in any form.”
She concluded her Story to say she’s “keeping her children in my thoughts” and hopes that they are safe “above all else.”
Layla isn’t the only MomTok mom to address the situation.
MomTok Member Miranda McWhorter Also Broke Her Silence
Miranda also took to her Instagram Stories to say what’s on her mind.
“I’ve honestly been a little at a loss for words trying to process this all,” she said. “Everything has been really heavy to see. Domestic violence and abuse of any kind is something I take very seriously.”
She continued by saying that “As a human, and especially a mother, I cannot support that kind of behavior” and that she is thinking of Taylor’s children during this time and hoping they are “safe, supported, and surrounded by love.”
‘Mormon Wives’ Fans Are Conflicted By MomTok’s Take On The Situation
Viral social media content creator who goes by @stephwithdadeets shares tons of “Mormon Wives” updates. She recently shared a video on Instagram about the two MomTok members breaking their silence. It didn’t take long for fans to leave their thoughts on the situation in the comment section.
“They seem done. I feel like something else recently has happened that we still don’t know about,” one person wrote. Another shared, “What people are forgetting is they are not just speaking out about the old video- they’re also speaking in regards to the most recent incident that they know more about than we do… gives us a heads up that it is NOT good whatever happened.”
Another viewer said, “Guys, not only did her friends know about this… they probably know about countless situations that we have no idea about. I hope they help their friend get help because this definitely went both ways.” One other shared, “Why are y’all even commenting on this publicly if this is your friend? To basically go against her on your public platform is like?!?”
Demi Engemann Also Shared An Instagram Story
According to Page Six, another MomTok member shared a recent IG Story that appears to be targeted at Taylor’s situation.
“The bills are paid. My husband is hot. Our marriage is strong. The kids are happy & healthy,” Demi Engemann wrote in her since-deleted Story. “I feel so damn rich.”
She added, “My version of peace that no one could ever destroy no matter how hard some have tried. The best revenge truly is living well. I’ll die on that hill forever.”
A source told Page Six that Engemann’s post referred to something she shared on an episode of the “Disgraceful” podcast that released on Thursday.
Will MomTok Survive?
The question has been asked multiple times in much less dire situations and always had a hint of possibly not surviving as a group. But this time, answering if MomTok will survive takes on a whole new meaning.
With season 5 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” on pause due to Taylor’s domestic violence allegations and the recently released video of her and Dakota that has fans gasping, MomTok surviving may be the least of all the concerns this group has.
In the last week alone, news has broken about Taylor’s domestic violence allegations, the new season of “The Bachelorette” starring Taylor being canceled just days before releasing, as well as Jordan Ngatikaura filing for divorce from Jessi Draper. Looming in the background is Mikayla Matthews health and marriage struggles and Layla’s eating disorder.
So the question will remain unanswered as of now. Will MomTok survive? We’ll just have to wait and see.
