Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Levitt jeopardized the chances of getting a spinoff after the scandal surrounding the costar Taylor Frankie Paul.
“What a feeling to know you all want a Leavitt spinoff,” Whitney, 32, tweeted on Monday, March 30, about herself and husband. Conner Levitt.
Hulu viewers have been asking about the spinoff revolving around Whitney and Conner, 32, since production was halted on season 5 Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that filming has been halted as Utah police continue to investigate a domestic violence incident between Taylor, 31, and her ex-boyfriend. Dakota Mortensen.
Taylor is currently on probation for his arrest in 2023 in connection with a separate physical incident with Dakota, 33. He pleaded guilty to aggravated assault as part of a plea deal on charges of domestic violence in the presence of a child, aggravated battery to a child and criminal mischief. (Paul shares Indy, 8, and Ocean, 5, with ex-husband Father Pauland son Ever, 2, with Dakota.)
Leaked footage of the 2023 brawl showed Taylor throwing several chairs at Dakota before one was seen hitting her daughter. After that, ABC announced that Taylor’s upcoming season of The Bachelorette has been cancelled.
“Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes the safety and security of her family,” Taylor’s spokesperson said in a statement. “Taylor is silent because she fears she will be victimized, retaliated against, and publicly shamed. She is currently exploring all her options, seeking support and preparing to own and share her story.”
Dakota, on the other hand, was granted a temporary protective order against Taylor that also gave her custody of Ever.
During the temporary suspension of production, the news also revealed that Jordan Ngatikaura filed for divorce in Jesse Draper.
The cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives had their fair share of overlap when it came to the interactions between the group of friends.

I am committed to handling this next chapter with grace and respect.”
Jessi has since broken her silence on her separation, she shared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast on Wednesday, March 25, “I ended up breaking up with him, so I knew it was coming.
