Mikayla Matthews Quits Reality TV Over Morals

Mikayla Matthews, a participant in the reality series "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," has announced her departure from the show. As of September 14th, Matthews stated her decision was made after hearing news that led her to not continue with the program at this moment.

Matthews expressed that she is not comfortable being part of a platform that showcases behaviors she finds objectionable. This stance is particularly influenced by her personal history, having grown up in a home with multiple forms of abuse. She underscored that her moral integrity and ethical convictions are non-negotiable, irrespective of financial incentives.

She further elaborated that continuing to profit directly from the behaviors she disagrees with feels wrong and unethical. For Matthews, this decision is also about showing respect for the children involved, the healing processes of individuals, and the wider audience watching the series.
