Mormon Wives Stars' DWTS Feud Ignites
11 Sep
Summary
- Leavitt denies intentionally laughing at Affleck's elimination.
- Affleck felt Leavitt's niceness during DWTS was transactional.
- Both stars admit to hurt feelings and lack of understanding.
Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, costars from "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," have addressed lingering tension stemming from their "Dancing With the Stars" competition last season. The rivalry resurfaced on the new season of "Mormon Wives," where Leavitt insisted she did not intentionally laugh when Affleck was eliminated in week 7.
In a confessional, Leavitt stated her intention was relief for herself, not malice towards Affleck, though she admitted a "little happy" it was Jen. Publicly, Leavitt praised Affleck's performance post-elimination. However, Affleck later expressed skepticism in a TikTok Live, hinting at a lack of genuine support.
Nearly a year later, Affleck shared in a "Mormon Wives" confessional that she viewed Leavitt's friendliness on "DWTS" as transactional, believing Leavitt to be self-centered. Leavitt previously admitted on "Call Her Daddy" that their relationship was strained during "DWTS" and filming "Secret Lives," citing hurt feelings and a lack of mutual understanding on both sides.
