Taylor Frankie Paul Claps Back After Whitney Leavitt Unfollows Her

Whitney Leavitt Shares Update on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 5 After Hiatus

Taylor Frankie Paul isn't hitting the like button anytime soon.

After the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives unfollowed her costar Whitney Leavitt on Instagram, she had a fiery response when Leavitt returned the favor.

“Good,” Paul commented on a July 14 post announcing Leavitt had unfollowed her back. “Since she is ‘leaving’ for the 100th time I’ll give my last words about her. I stuck up for her since the hospital video I bet she doesn’t even recall that. The show I gave her grace against a whole cast MULTIPLE times. She is very successful and I always supported that. Just for her smile and pile on at my lowest.”

The 32-year-old continued, “Let’s be honest she’s been waiting for my down fall[sic] since day one and she still ain’t gonna get it because she could have everything and still chose not to reach a hand. bye Whit cya mid season when you come back.”

Leavitt—who recently finished competing on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars and was on Chicago on Broadway—announced in May she’d be stepping away from SLOMW to pursue other opportunities.

Meanwhile, Leavitt and Paul aren’t the only ones playing the unfollowing game. Mere hours after posting about Leavitt, the @themormonwivesreport Instagram account shared screenshots indicating SLOMW stars Miranda Hope and Layla Taylor had also unfollowed Paul.

But as Hope noted in a comment, she wasn’t the one who started the back and forth.

“I don’t really know why i was ever unfollowed in the first place haha,” she wrote. “Kept following until i decided it didn’t make sense to keep investing in something one sided. i’m not one to unfollow to ‘prove a point.’”

As for Paul, her relationship with the SLOMW franchise and its parties has been fraught since filming of season five was put on pause in mid-March amid the release of footage showing a domestic violence incident between her and her ex Dakota Mortensen. The video also caused the release of Paul’s season of The Bachelorette to be put on indefinite pause.

And though her long term fate on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives remains up in the air, E! News learned on July 9 that Paul would return for season five in only a limited capacity, filming intros and pick-up shots for the show’s opening title sequence.

Paul, for her part, has made it clear she’s prioritizing her mental health, having recently completed a stay in a rehab facility.

"I knew that I was in a spot to take a step back and be like, ‘OK, we need a reset,'" the reality star—who is mom to three kids—said in a series of videos posted to her Instagram Stories July 6. "Number one priority was just a reset for my mental health and to get away—decompress, whether it’s one day, whether it’s seven, whether it’s 30. I willingly did that. That was my choice."
