TikTok clip sparks feud Taylor Frankie, Miranda Hope, Layla Taylor

Taylor Frankie Paul, a cast member of the reality series *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*, has ignited a social‑media showdown with co‑stars Miranda Hope and Layla Taylor after a TikTok clip allegedly fueled accusations of jealousy and hypocrisy.

The clip, shared by influencer Emma Ellis, featured former singer Chase McWhorter, who is also Paul’s ex‑husband. Hope and Taylor publicly responded on Instagram and TikTok, sparking a flurry of comments that highlighted personal grievances tied to their intertwined personal histories.

Hope began the exchange by pointing out that Paul had been “inviting him over” and “asking him to go on a podcast” at 1 am, . She argued that if she had done such a thing with former partner Dakota Mortensen, she would have faced severe consequences.

Hope also dismissed claims of jealousy as “laughable,” adding that she would not wait for an apology call. The remarks were accompanied by a meme reading, “Bitch, you on some weird s***.”

Layla Taylor, who had briefly dated Chase and later his brother Mason McWhorter, rebuked Hope’s double‑standard claim as “insane” and also challenged the alleged hypocrisy of the TikTok post. She posted a separate comment stating that she was not jealous of someone who only has eight hours of supervised time with their children.

On Friday, September 18, Paul replied to both Hope and Taylor’s comments on Instagram, accusing them of jealousy toward a “girl crush” she had mentioned multiple times on Emma’s page. Paul suggested that the two women privately apologize for the public dispute.

## Background & Context

Paul’s own personal life has drawn legal scrutiny, as she reportedly lost parenting time with her three children after failing multiple drug tests in the last 60 days, .

The court limited her to eight hours of weekly visitation after alleged drug‑test failures, and a judge had previously ruled to increase visitation rights with one child while granting protective orders to Paul and former partner Dakota.

In March, Paul lost custody of a son following footage from a 2023 arrest where she assaulted Dakota in front of their daughter. She completed a three‑year probation last month and pleaded guilty to dismiss additional child‑abuse accusations.

A judge had earlier granted both Paul and Dakota multiple protective orders, while Tate Paul, her ex‑husband, filed a restraining order in July to modify divorce terms, but the motion was denied.

Paul has maintained that she wants transparency about her life, stating in a July video that she wanted the proceedings sealed to protect the children and that she would give both “the ugly and the pretty” of her story.

Paul’s family dynamic is complex; she shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 6, with former husband Tate Paul, and a two‑year‑old son Ever with her current partner Dakota.

The TikTok controversy erupted when Emma Ellis posted a clip featuring Chase, prompting Hope and Taylor to publicly criticize the perceived double‑standard. The backlash highlighted long‑standing tensions among the cast, many of whom have shared romantic or familial ties on the show.

## What People Are Saying

Hope’s first comment framed the situation as a principle issue, saying, “Doesn’t discount phone calls at 1 am, asking him to go on a podcast with you, inviting him over.” She added that doing the same with Dakota would have led to a ditch scenario and repeated that the focus should remain on principle rather than jealousy.

Layla responded to Hope’s accusation of hypocrisy with a denouncement of jealousy, writing, “Jealous of the girl who only has 8 hours of supervised time with her kids?” She also encouraged Hope not to wait for an apology call.

Hope’s reaction included a meme that read, “Bitch, you on some weird s***.” The post was accompanied by an image of Hope holding her phone.

Paul countered both Hope and Taylor in an Instagram comment, labeling their claims as jealousy toward a “girl crush” she had highlighted on Emma’s page. She urged the two women to privately apologize for the public dispute, calling their jealousy embarrassing.

## What Happens Next

Court documents reveal that Paul’s visitation rights were recently increased by a judge, and both she and Dakota have obtained multiple protective orders. Her ex‑husband, Tate Paul, filed a restraining order in July to modify divorce terms, but the motion was denied.

During a summer court hearing, the judge ruled to expand Paul’s visitation with her son Ever and issued protective orders to both Paul and Dakota.

Paul has not publicly responded to the most recent comments from Hope and Taylor since her Instagram post, and the legal proceedings remain confidential under a court‑ordered gag. A judge’s earlier ruling granted her increased visitation with Ever while also protecting her from further harassment.

Social media remains divided, with Hope’s meme and Layla’s retort fueling ongoing discussions about personal boundaries among reality‑TV cast members. As Paul navigates custody battles and public scrutiny, her future engagements on the show are uncertain.

The unfolding drama underscores how personal disputes, when amplified by digital platforms, can intersect with legal entanglements and public perception.
