Mikayla Matthews Quits Mormon Wives: 'Zero Regrets'

Mikayla Matthews has declared she has "zero regrets" about closing her chapter on "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." Her departure follows a contentious season 5, which was paused amid allegations of domestic incidents involving co-star Taylor Frankie Paul. Matthews cited her discomfort with platforming behavior she disagrees with, particularly in light of her own experiences with abuse growing up.

Matthews emphasized that continuing to profit from such behavior felt wrong and unethical, stating it would be a disservice to children and those healing. While "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" navigates these shifts, the franchise is expanding. "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County," featuring Mayci Neely's sister McCall DaPron, is scheduled to premiere on November 12.
