Two stars from Hulu's popular reality show "The Secret Life of Mormon Wife" - Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt will join the upcomingDancing with the Stars" new season lineup.
The news was announced at the end of the show’s second season reunion special.Judging from the atmosphere on the scene, Whitney and Jen are full of expectations for being selected.Host Nick Viall revealed on the show that most MomTok girls were auditioned.He first announced Jen's joining, and then brought another "surprise" - Whitney will also step onto the stage.
Taylor Frankie Paul, Whitney Leavitt, Layla Taylor, Jen Affleck, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Miranda McWhorter and her husbands gathered for a dramatic night.Demi Engemann's absence became one of the most eye-catching topics in the audience, with almost every woman publicly saying she was drawn from her.Although Demi did not show up, she was interviewed by Nick Viall’s podcast and appeared several times in video clips that night.She explained that she was unable to attend due to schedule conflicts.
As soon as the party began, MomTok members rekindled the controversy surrounding the end of season 2.Not only did they show evidence about Engemann’s cheating allegations, they also held a hand-raising vote to discuss whether Leavitt can take responsibility for her actions and whether her husband’s past experiences have affected her image.
Despite attempts to fit into the group, Whitney Leavitt is out of place with some members."Mikayla, this is bullying." She yelled at her companions during a dispute.Meanwhile, she also questioned McWhorter and Neeley, despite the two stressing that they were always standing by her.
Host Nick Viall even launched two hands-up votes on the spot: Almost everyone thought Taylor Frankie Paul was willing to bear the consequences; and only Miranda McWhorter believed Whitney Leavitt could do that.Viall also noted on the show that he had seen Leavitt refuse to admit his mistake at some point.
The broken relationship between Taylor Frankie Paul and ex-husband Dakota Mortensen was dug out again.She said firmly, “We will never get back together.” The central figure of MomTok mentioned many times that Mortensen had been unfaithful to her.
Despite not being present, Demi Engemann was still the focus of hot discussions throughout the audience.Some even said bluntly: "She has no moral bottom line." Surprisingly, Whitney Leavitt stood up many times to defend Engemann.Leavitt is shocked when Jen Affleck plays a recording of Engemann guiding her in how to speak in front of the camera.However, the show cleverly inserts a scene three hours ago—it is Engemann who teaches Leavitt how to respond to the controversy in front of the camera.Affleck's husband also revealed that Engemann had threatened them to issue a cease-and-desist letter.
During this candid and heavy gathering, MomTok members and their husbands also delve into some of the serious issues touched on in season 2.Whitney Leavitt’s husband Connor confessed to sharing his struggle with porn addiction and bravely revealed to viewers and other guests about sexual assault during childhood.Taylor reviews her mental journey of talking about her body image issues for the first time in season 2 and her past suicide attempts.Miranda McWhorter tells about his childhood sexual abuse experience.Despite conflict with Leavitt, McWhorter revealed that Connor had encouraged her to seek professional psychological help.Ultimately, at the suggestion of Nick Viall, the two women hugged each other and settled.
The reunion special ends with a preview of season 3.Neely shouts, “MomTok survives!” In the short trailer, the rift between Demi Engemann and the rest of the members becomes increasingly obvious.The picture first flashed by, showing the once opposed Engemann and Leavitt walking hand in hand, and then cut to Leavitt's announcement that they would start a new business and create their own MomTok.
