Mormon Wives' Jessi Admits She Was ‘Confused' That Jen Lied to Zac About Chippendales Skit at Party
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesstar Jessi Ngatikaura admitted she was caught off guard when Jen Affleck lied to her husband, Zac Affleck, about a Chippendales skit in season 2 during an exclusive interview with In Touch.
"I was confused," Jessi, 32, tells In Touch about the moment she learned Jen, 25, lied to Zac about the skit.
After Jen and Zac got into an argument over her seeing a Chippendales performance during season 1, Jessi and Demi Engemann recruited their husbands Jordan Ngatikaura and Brett Engemann to do a Chippendales performance during a Halloween party in episode 2. Most of the people in attendance were visibly uncomfortable, including Zac.
While Jen claimed to Zac that Jessi and Demi, 30, didn't let her know about the Chippendales skit, she was caught in a lie when footage showed the trio discussing the plan during episode 3.
"Jen had told Demi and I that she wanted to do Chippendales as exposure therapy for her and Zac, and she was like, 'We're in a way better place. It would be so funny,'" Jessi recalls to In Touch. "And then to not tell him was shocking because we were like, 'Wait, this was honestly almost your idea. You were so down for it.' So we were just really confused."
Jessi adds that she believes Jen and Zac were "still struggling" in their relationship at the time of the conflict. "But she wasn't wanting us to know that. So she put on a brave face to us and kind of put on a front that they were doing well when behind the scenes," she speculates. "And I think she maybe just thought if she didn't tell Zac. it wouldn't happen. But that kind of backfired."
Not only does Jessi tease the conflict between Jen and Zac, but she also opens up about how season 1 differs from season 2 of the Hulu reality show.
"Season 1 kind of felt like you were getting to know us a little bit," Jessi explains. "There was some backstory and playing catch up and this season we just let it all out and you get to see more of our friendship dynamics, our relationship dynamics and it feels like you get to peek behind the curtain a little bit more."
While Jessi knows the drama that played out in her storylines, she says she's excited to see all of the other drama she wasn't directly involved in on season 2.
"I always am really interested in seeing what I wasn't there for because I know what happens in group settings and when I film with other people, but I'm excited to see what happened in other people's personal lives that I heard about but didn't witness it," she says, noting that she likes to put "all the pieces together."
Jessi adds that she hopes season 2 showcases more of the ensemble cast "because each of us bring our own interesting dynamic and strength to the group." She continues, "And MomTok wouldn't be what it is without each of us. It's not just about one or two people, it's about the sisterhood as a whole."
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returns for season 2 on Hulu on Thursday, May 15.

Myles Garrett anticipates Aaron Rodgers' arrival to his infamous 'graveyard'
Myles Garrett is a man of tradition. When his penchant for destroying quarterbacks and love of celebrating Halloween intersect, it's lovely. Garrett's Ohio home has long been the staging ground to an elaborate seasonal display. Headstones dot a front-yard-turned-cemetery. On them lie the names of some of the quarterbacks Garrett has sacked in his NFL career. Joe Burrow is there. Lamar Jackson, too. Ben Roethlisberger has effectively established a residency among the grass (though admittedly the immobile, massive Home Depot skeleton would have been a better place for him). Kyler Murray made an appearance, which bummed him out. Advertisement Now he's got a new name in mind to add to his collection. Four-time NFL MVP and brand new Pittsburgh Steeler Aaron Rodgers. Fortunately for Garrett, Rodgers is easier to sack than ever. The 41-year-old is still recovering from the torn Achilles that ended his 2023 season after four plays. His 6.4 yards per scramble in 2024 were significantly below the NFL average for starting quarterbacks (7.9). His 94 rushing yards were the lowest of his career as a full-time starter. Garrett didn't need the help -- after all, he's already got the ultra-mobile Murray and Jackson amidst his collection of corpses -- but Rodgers does present an opportunity. The All-Pro edge rusher has only played Rodgers' teams twice in an eight-year career. Rodgers missed both due to injury as a Green Bay Packer in 2017 and as a New York Jet in 2023. Advertisement Thus, Garrett will get the chance to add Rodgers to a list of multiple-time MVPs in Jackson and Tom Brady amidst his boneyard. "Put him in the graveyard" isn't the threat it seems like given the context. But knowing how little the Steelers and Browns care for each other, it's the right sentiment for this rivalry.

Browns' Myles Garrett Sends Major Threat to Aaron Rodgers After Joining Steelers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The AFC North is one of the most storied divisions in the NFL, and the teams within the division certainly know how to drive home their deep-seated rivalries. In fact, two of the teams that are constantly going after one another are the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. More news: Colts' Anthony Richardson Given Unfortunate Timeline Return After Visiting Surgeon The Browns also have one of the most outspoken players in terms of rivalries and terrorizing opposing quarterbacks, which is star pass rusher Myles Garrett. Garrett spoke to the media about the fact that Aaron Rodgers is now a member of the Steelers, and he laid out a simple threat to the quarterback. Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett on Aaron Rodgers joining the AFC North: 'Good opportunity to put him in the graveyard.' — Jori Epstein (@JoriEpstein) June 10, 2025 When Garrett was asked about his thoughts on Rodgers joining the AFC North, he simply stated: "Good opportunity to put him in the graveyard." The simple yet effective threat is something that is expected of Garrett, who has continually secured 12+ sacks in the past five seasons. Considering the Browns will play the Steelers twice in 2025, it's a good chance that he will make sure to make good on his threat to Rodgers.

Garrett has been one of the best pass rushers in the league, leading to his being awarded a monster extension. He signed a four-year, $160 million contract in March, leading to him resetting the pass rusher market at $40 million per season. Though that number might sound a bit crazy, Garrett has continually been a defensive powerhouse for the Browns. His performance led to his asking for a trade from Cleveland, which rocked the NFL. While everyone believed that the Browns were going to be stuck in a tough situation deciding to trade Garrett, they instead brought him back on a monster new extension. Garrett is one of the anchors for the Browns, and there is a good chance he will rack up another double-digit sack count in 2025. Now, time will tell if that sack count will include Rodgers.
