‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Star Whitney Leavitt Opens Up About Leaving MomTok

There is one less mom in MomTok after the first season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

Hulu’s new reality show follows a group of Utah-based Mormon TikTok moms, including Whitney Leavitt, who find themselves sidelined from the click and ultimately decide to leave MomTok in the end.

Leavitt, 31, exclusively told The Post that while she hasn’t seen the show yet, she stands by her decision.

“I think once the show comes out, I hope I’ll have more of an opportunity to share why I made that decision, rather than just explaining it from the show,” she explained.

“But what I feel now is I still feel…satisfied,” Leavitt said.

Since she is no longer a part of MomTok, one wonders if Leavitt will continue to appear on the reality show if she returns for season 2.

“I think the best answer to that question is I want to wait and see what actually happened,” she said. “I want to wait and see what was actually said, what was actually done.”

“It’s quite difficult to make this decision when I have no idea.”

Leavitt noted that she was unaware that, as the show depicted, the rest of the women had decided to unfollow her on social media when she failed to show up to an event for her closest friend in the group, Mayci Neeley.

Neeley, 29, told the Post it was “really stressful” to be caught in the middle of the show’s drama.

“It almost gave me a lot of anxiety because I could see both sides of it,” she said. “I felt like I was stuck in the middle. It was hard because you hear them badmouthing Whitney, and then Whitney gets mad at them.”

“I felt like I was the middleman and I don’t want to be that way. I just want everyone to love each other,” Neeley continued, “but it’s not always easy when you have eight women with eight different personalities coming together. It’s bound to happen when there’s drama and people are clashing.”

In the season finale, Leavitt announced to her family that she was pregnant with her third child.

She told the Post that she and her husband, Conner, are waiting until the birth to find out the sex of their third baby, something they have never done before.

“This is my last game, so let’s end it with a bang,” she shared. “Tubes will be tied. Balls will be denounced. We’re out. We’re out after this one.”

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is streaming on Hulu.
