The Fallout: 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Stars Grapple with Aftermath of Swinging Sex Scandal

Mikayla Matthews, a cast member of the reality show "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," reveals the unexpected impact her husband's job loss as a result of the ongoing swingers sex scandal that rocked their tight-knit community.

In the wake of the explosive swingers sex scandal, members of the once-close Mormon MomTok group have endured a rollercoaster of personal and professional challenges. In a candid interview with Fox News Digital, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Mikayla Matthews opened up about the unforeseen consequences her family faced as a result of the controversy.

Matthews, alongside fellow cast members Jennifer Affleck, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mayci Neeley, Whitney Leavitt, Demi Engemann, and Layla Taylor, have navigated the aftermath of the scandal, which left their community reeling. However, Matthews' husband, Jace, experienced a direct blow when he lost his job due to the show's trailer.

"My husband actually lost his job over the trailer in the show," Matthews revealed. "And so it's kind of affected me more now than after everything that's happened over these years."

Demi Engemann, another cast member, faced a unique set of challenges due to the scandal's timing. "I had just gone through a divorce and gotten remarried, and I think I already had speculations as to why I got divorced and all of this," she explained. "And so to have this drop, what it did was like, 'Ugh, perfect timing.'"

The scandal not only fueled speculation but also sparked feelings of insecurity among husbands within the group. Ngatikaura explained that "a lot of the husbands in the group that didn't know it was happening until the swinging scandal broke were like, 'Oh my gosh, could that happen to me now?'"

Mayci Neeley, who formed the original Mormon MomTok group with Matthews, clarified that she and Whitney Leavitt were not involved in swinging and thus "were not affected a ton" by the scandal.

Influencer Taylor Frankie Paul, who sparked the controversy when she revealed her involvement in a "soft swinging" group, faced significant repercussions. Paul admitted to "stepping out of the agreement" with one of the other husbands, which ultimately led to her divorce from Tate.

Despite the difficulties, Engemann believes that the scandal ultimately brought the MomTok group closer together. "We found out pretty quickly who was authentic, who was genuine, who was here for the right reasons in MomTok, and genuinely wanted to see growth and health in the relationships within MomTok," she said.

"I think that people are going to be inspired to see how we navigated some pretty tough conversations and situations," Paul added.
