Mormon Wives Star Conner Leavitt Shares He Was Sexually Abused As a Child

by

The inaugural gathering of the cast from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” featured clandestinely taped phone conversations and reconciliations; however, one husband, Conner Leavitt, voluntarily disclosed details about his personal life. In an unreleased clip from season 1, filmed a month before the Leavitt family took a short break in Hawaii following Conner’s public Tinder scandal, Whitney Leavitt’s husband candidly discussed on-camera that he had been sexually abused as a child. After undergoing therapy, he admitted its effects on his mental health had exacerbated his “pornography addiction” and infidelity issues online.

Conner, visibly emotional, revealed to Whitney at their reunion that he had previously confided in her and his family about an experience from his childhood – being raped. He added that when he finally acknowledged this emotion and memory, everything became clear, providing the validation he needed. Later, reading a statement, Conner assured anyone who might have gone through something similar that “your story doesn’t stop at what happened to you.

During the pause in filming (yet the cameras continued to record), Taylor Frankie Paul decided to rise from her seat. When a producer inquired about her destination, she mentioned she was merely heading over to offer Conner a hug. Upon seeing their interaction, she consoled him by saying, “That was quite tough to witness,” and added, “I’m truly sorry.” In response, Conner expressed gratitude for Taylor’s openness about her life, stating that it had provided him with courage and strength.
