Need a quick Mother’s Day gift? Forget the drama and go with a massage certificate! Speaking of drama, while filming for season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is back on, Mikayla Matthews and Taylor Frankie Paul are still publicly feuding. It began when Matthews addressed Paul’s ongoing legal issues with her ex, Dakota Mortensen, after the rest of the cast had already spoken out. On Saturday, Matthews shared a lengthy message on Instagram, starting with a rather unpleasant analogy: she compared her own issues to intentionally causing herself a rash and not expecting sympathy.
I’ve been deeply upset by everything everyone is going through, and it’s been really hard to watch. However, I can’t support behavior that’s harmful or irresponsible, especially when children are affected. This isn’t about a lack of love or wishing them well – I just can’t act like it’s okay that years of damaging actions are now being publicly debated and turned into a conflict. I’m choosing to focus on what’s best for the children. I’ve been a supportive friend in the past, but I need to step back now. I’ve consistently offered help – sending food, showing up even when I was dealing with my own difficult personal struggles – but I can’t continue to do so under these circumstances.
Paul addressed the drama not through direct messaging, but in the comments section of Instagram account @stephwithdadeets, which recaps reality TV. Paul accused Matthews of actively wanting and even enjoying their struggles, stating Matthews didn’t offer support but seemed to revel in the situation. Paul claimed that Matthews and the cast of SLOMW were only interested in their pain for entertainment. They wrote that Matthews constantly asked for updates on their life, and expressed frustration that Matthews now claims to be ‘exhausted’ by them, especially since Paul was trying to deal with things privately. Paul concluded by saying Matthews is free to leave the show if she doesn’t want to film with them.
Matthews responded to Paul’s claims, reiterating that she’s only ever been a friend. She sarcastically pointed out that if consistently supporting someone – checking on them, defending them, and making sure they’re okay – counts as wanting their failure, then Paul has a valid point. Matthews argued that true friends shouldn’t have to be asked to care. She concluded by saying there’s no conflict on her end, but she needs to establish stronger boundaries due to what she sees as destructive behavior, especially when it’s justified. Essentially, the disagreement has now become about whether or not a disagreement even exists.
