Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast banned from discussing politics amid wild pro-Trump accusations
The cast of Hulu's hit series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives have reportedly been banned from discussing their political views.
The show, which follows a group of Mormon momfluencers from the notoriously conservative Utah, have often been accused by viewers of supporting Donald Trump.
Cast member Mayci Neeley broke her silence on the group's politics this week on TikTok after a follower commented, 'If only you weren't a Trump supporter.'
Firing back, the 30-year-old wrote, 'These assumptions are wild. Contractually we aren't allowed to talk about our political views.'
She continued, 'So I'm sick of seeing these comments on every post even though no one knows my views. They assume since I'm Mormon that I am super conservative and that's not the case.'
This isn't the first time that the Mormon Wives cast have been pegged as Trump supporters.
There are countless threads on Reddit speculating about the group's political leanings, with some fans even finding out which political figures the cast follow on social media.
While the cast refuse to comment on their personal political views, Utah is one of the most conservatives states in America.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a significant influence on the state's culture and politics.
Around 60 percent of Utah residents are members of the LDS Church, which traditionally supports conservative values.
The second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has been a blockbuster hit so far.
In its first five days, the series amassed over five million on Hulu and Disney+.
Season two saw the addition of TikTok influencer Miranda McWhorter, 26, who is an original member of MomTok and was once best friends with Taylor Frankie Paul.
Unsurprisingly, she was also implicated in Taylor's swinging scandal.
Season one of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives revolved around MomTok, a group of glamorous Mormon influencers led by Taylor who were plunged into a sex scandal when Taylor outed herself as a swinger.
Last year, The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives was ranked the number one unscripted show on Hulu, becoming the streamer's biggest premiere since The Kardashians.
The 30-year-old wrote, 'These assumptions are wild. Contractually we aren't allowed to talk about our political views'
Sparks flew between the members of the principal cast, which was made up of Taylor, Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor.
The show caused a stir both online and in the LDS church thanks to the outrageous antics of the cast.
Some of the wild scenes on the show have included a sex act involving breakfast cereal, a swinging scandal, a drunken arrest, and a trip to a male strip revue in Vegas.
One cast member also revealed the results of her labiaplasty on camera, while another confessed to getting pregnant to her now-husband when she was just 16 and he was 21.
The series is produced by the team behind Netflix's My Unorthodox Life, which followed designer Julia Haart after leaving her strict orthodox Jewish community behind to become a hotshot in the fashion world.

Bethenny Frankel, 54, flaunts her figure in TINY thong bikini during Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show
Bethenny Frankel shocked fans with her youthful appearance as she flaunted her figure in a tiny thong bikini at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit fashion show on Saturday. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 54, left very little to imagination as she strutted down the runway in various swimsuits for the coveted catwalk show in Miami Beach. For her first look, Bethenny donned sultry pink polka dot bikini and black cover-up. Upon reaching the end of the catwalk, she ripped off the cover-up to reveal a thong bikini bottom underneath. She turned around to show her backside to the audience, as she jokingly covered her mouth in surprise. Later, she emerged in a denim bikini top and black bottoms, which she paired with a cowboy hat; she also flashed some side boob in tiny leopard-print one-piece swimsuit. The TV star oozed confidence, dancing and shaking her hips as she made her way down the runway. She also debuted a new, much-longer and lighter brown hairstyle at the event, rocking beach-like waves that fell perfectly around her face. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 54, left very little to imagination as she strutted down the runway in various swimsuits for the coveted catwalk show in Miami Beach After a video of Bethenny on the runway was shared to TikTok, many of her avid fans couldn't believe how young she looked. Hundreds rushed to the comment section to discuss her stunning appearance, and some even branded her as 'unrecognizable' thanks to her new 'do. 'Is that really Bethany Frankel?!!?! If so what did she get done? Where? Who? How much?!?!' one user asked. 'That hair just took off a decade! She is [fire],' gushed another. 'She looks great but I barely recognize her,' someone else added. 'Wow, I've never seen her look so good,' a fourth comment read. A fifth said, 'Is she in the witness protection program? She's unrecognizable.' Bethenny recently moved to Florida and her new life in the south is clearly doing wonders for her as her fans were right, she's never looked better. The reality TV personality previously explained that living with just her daughter Bryn, whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, in an overly spacious house in New York 'was drowning her.' 'It was just the two of us,' she said in a TikTok video. 'It was a massive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life. 'I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I'd be entertaining there a lot.' She continued: 'The house was drowning me because it had an apple orchard, it was a historical house, it had all this property, and it was beautiful and amazing for a big family with kids and grandparents. 'It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone [in] because I didn't really know many people in that community. It was lonely.' She said she didn't want to be 'home alone' so she decided to 'simplify' their space. 'My simplification is someone else's complication because I'm still going to be in a beautiful home, but I just took on too much,' she explained. Hundreds rushed to the comment section to discuss her stunning appearance, and some even branded her as 'unrecognizable' thanks to her new 'do 'And the idea of something was different than the reality of it,' she continued. Bethenny added that she originally planned to downsize in four years when her daughter would be heading off to college, but she decided to go ahead with it now because of a 'moment.' 'This situation was drowning me and something else was distracting her and neither of us would say it out loud because this is just what it was,' she said cryptically. 'The moment it became about her, I was able to be honest with myself about how I felt and it freed both of us. I think I'll be lighter and brighter and happier in the coming months.'

These updates aim to position the device as a central hub for both entertainment and gaming, appealing to a wide range of users. Below is an in-depth look at the most intriguing leaks and rumors surrounding the next-generation Apple TV 4K in a new video from Matt Talks Tech. Watch this video on YouTube. A17 Pro Chipset: Gaming Powerhouse At the heart of the Apple TV 2025 is the rumored A17 Pro chipset, a state-of-the-art processor already featured in Apple's latest flagship devices. This chip is expected to deliver console-level gaming performance, allowing the device to support demanding titles such as *Resident Evil Village* and *Assassin's Creed*. For gaming enthusiasts, this could mean a more immersive and seamless experience, setting a new benchmark for streaming devices. The Apple TV is also rumored to offer broad compatibility with popular gaming controllers, including Xbox and PlayStation models. This feature would make it a serious contender in the gaming market, bridging the gap between casual streaming devices and dedicated gaming consoles. By integrating such capabilities, Apple could attract a new demographic of users seeking a versatile entertainment solution. Enhanced Connectivity for Superior Performance Connectivity improvements are expected to play a pivotal role in the Apple TV 2025. The inclusion of Wi-Fi 6E is rumored to provide faster and more reliable wireless performance, making sure smoother streaming and gaming experiences, even in environments with high network traffic. This upgrade would be particularly beneficial for users streaming 4K content or downloading large game files. For those who prefer a wired connection, the device is likely to retain its gigabit Ethernet port, offering a stable and robust alternative. These connectivity enhancements would cater to both entertainment enthusiasts and gamers, making sure minimal lag and uninterrupted performance during online multiplayer sessions or high-definition streaming. Redesigned with Sustainability and Style The Apple TV 2025 is rumored to feature a refreshed design, potentially shifting from plastic to metal or recycled materials. This aligns with Apple's ongoing commitment to sustainability, as the company continues to prioritize eco-friendly practices across its product lineup. Such a redesign would not only enhance the device's durability but also reflect Apple's dedication to reducing its environmental footprint. In addition to material changes, a new white color variant is speculated to be introduced, offering a sleek and modern aesthetic that complements contemporary home interiors.

Expanded Storage and Pricing Speculations Storage capacity is another area where the Apple TV 2025 is expected to see significant improvements. The base model is rumored to offer 128 GB of storage, doubling the current entry-level option. This expansion would provide ample space for apps, games, and downloaded content, making the device more versatile for users with diverse needs. However, these upgrades may come with a slight price increase. Industry analysts suggest a starting price between $179 and $200, reflecting the enhanced hardware, materials, and capabilities. While this represents a modest jump, the improved features and premium positioning of the device are likely to justify the cost for many consumers.

These events have historically served as platforms for major announcements, and the timing would align with Apple's strategy of refreshing its product lineup. With its rumored upgrades, the Apple TV aims to transcend its traditional role as a streaming device. By integrating advanced gaming capabilities, enhanced connectivity, and expanded storage, it seeks to attract a broader audience, including gamers, tech enthusiasts, and eco-conscious consumers.
