Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
She further alleges ... "I was love bombed then manipulated, threatened, physically hurt, cops called on me, publicly humiliated, lost most friends because he got to them, CPS called, and now in court all because I said no more and he knew I meant it this time."
"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" is going back into production, but some cast members -- those with penises -- might not be returning ... and there are dueling narratives as to why.
Production sources tell TMZ ... some of the men have banded together and refused to return in a hardball demand for more money.
However, another source with direct knowledge tells us ... it's unlikely the men will return, but it isn't their decision -- instead, it's producers who think there's not enough bang for the buck, so to speak.
In a nutshell, we're told the ladies are the stars of the series ... and producers got more evidence of that when fans rejected the dudes' recent "DadTok" venture.
"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives OC" cast is already making waves ... and they were anything but reserved at Bobbi Althoff’s comedy event in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
In video obtained by TMZ, Hulu’s newest reality star -- Bobbi Althoff -- is seen onstage during her "Bobbi Althoff Tries Standup" as part of the 2026 Netflix Is A Joke Fest in L.A.
At one point, Bobbi invites attendees to join a playful twerking competition ... including 'SLOMW OC' cast member Madison Bontempo -- who jumps into an impromptu dance battle that quickly escalates into a full-blown twerk-off in front of the crowd.
In the footage, Madison appears to be completely unbothered by the packed crowd ... shaking her booty and even beginning to cartwheel on stage, putting in the work for what we're told is a $500 prize.
Taylor Frankie Paul didn’t hold back on Mother’s Day, taking to social media with a lengthy and emotional post that appeared to call out people in her inner circle.
"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star took the opportunity to use Mother's Day as a time to let it all out, while reflecting on what she described as an extremely difficult period in her life ... beginning her lengthy statement with ... "It’s Mother’s Day so I’ll say whatever I want."
In the post, TFP said she was dealing with added stress from so-called friends while already struggling emotionally, writing that she felt they were “kicking while I’m already down” and accused one person of framing their actions as “setting a boundary” while blaming her for reacting.
Taylor Frankie Paul will get a nearly 12-hour hangout with her son on Mother's Day ... TMZ has learned.
In new court documents that hit the docket on Wednesday, a judge awarded her "parent-time" on Sunday, May 10, from 9 AM to 8:30 PM ... which means a whole day with the son she's seen only sparingly since we posted video of her accidentally hitting her other child with a barstool during an argument with Dakota Mortensen.
Paul's weekly parenting time is also increasing across the board ... jumping from just 8 hours a week to 12 hours a week. The court recommends three separate four-hour supervised blocks for mother and child to bond.
'Bachelorette' fans hoping that Taylor Frankie Paul's season would air this summer are going to be disappointed to see ABC's just-released summer lineup schedule ... because the series ain't on it.
There were rumors that the sheveld season would air this summer on the network -- and that it would be announced Tuesday at the TV advertising event, Upfronts -- but that seems pretty far-fetched now.
TMZ broke the news ... Taylor's season was pulled days before it was set to air after a video of her and ex, Dakota Mortensen, in a domestic dispute was made public, also by us.
"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Whitney Leavitt just dropped a major announcement on the Broadway stage ... announcing she's officially exiting the hit Hulu show, TMZ has learned.

Leavitt has been a central figure on the Emmy-nominated reality series since it premiered in September 2024, with the show largely revolving around her role within a tight-knit circle of Mormon moms.
