The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

I...

- Really? -She's lying.

He also told me that you kept inviting him over to your house.

Cry it out and then fuck.

Well, you should have never sent him the picture.

That is so inappropriate. I actually wish...

...that you would've did that to my husband

instead of my own daughter.

You're a shitty friend.

Okay.

'Kay. Bye.

Clearly, she remembers-- Has memory loss.

She's freaking lying.

-She's Dory. -She's lying.

-She's just like Dakota. -She is.

I mean, you could hear her lie.

-Like, it's funny. -I know.

-She's stumbling on her words. -

"I-- I just-- I--"

Shut up.

We can hear you're lying. Just say it.

It's giving me a headache.

- Hi. -He was asleep until I picked him up.

Hello!

After Stagecoach, I did have like a sliver of hope, maybe, for us.

But now that this came out, I feel very foolish.

I'm-- I can't help to think of the quote, like,

"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."

My mom, my dad, my entire family hates Dakota now.

This is the nail in the coffin.

No matter how much I wanted this, I will never settle for that, ever.

I dropped off Dakota, um, from your house.

-Mm-hmm. - and he was like,

he thinks you guys could get there.

I said, "You will never get there."

You guys need to be done

'cause you will always question him, he's always going to question you.

- Mm-hmm. -And there's just too much damage there.

He like, makes me feel like it's my fault.

So then I sit there, and I'm like "Is it my fault?"

That's what narcissists do.

We-- We know that you have faults, We have-- We all have faults.

But the thing is, it's like, every fricking week, it's something new

and it all comes from his end.

With everything that comes outta his mouth,

it's like, one right after another,

he's the common denominator.

Like, I think you just deserve so much better.

-Yeah. You deserve happiness. - Dakota's not it.

-You haven't been happy for three years. - Yeah.

I don't think any mom wants to be alone with three children.

I want change. Like, I want out of this toxic cycle.

Because at this point, I've seen enough betrayal and lies

that I don't want things to get messy when it comes to co-parenting.

I can't do this. Like, I can't live like this anymore.

Shh.

Hello.

Happy birthday!

Thank you so much!

Don't wanna like take up too much of your day,

I just wanted to kinda debrief a little bit on this weekend.

Oh, yeah. How are you feeling?

Press was horrendous.

Yeah. That was-- That was very unprofessional.

What happened with you and Marciano?

-Nothing. Nothing happened on my end. -Nothing?

Um... well, apparently, I have a cease and desist against me

-so, I'm not able to talk on that. - Prove it.

Oh, pull it up. It's not hard.

I mean, it was such an awkward weekend,

like, all of you are treating me this way and like being so... bitchy towards me

without knowing what you're talking about and having all the facts.

I'm just feeling, overall, just like ostracized from the group.

Definitely taken aback by how cold everyone was during press.

And I just, overnight, became this liar and villain.

Yeah, that hurt.

I think it-- You know, it took you to get to a very vulnerable place

for me to understand.

Let me say this,

listening to Taylor talk about how--

She was like, "You know what? Vulnerability comes at a price.

"If you're going to open up this way,

like, you're opening up your life to scrutiny and to like opinions," right?

It's a lot.

It's a lot to be like watched and then you're judged for it.

And not that I really, like, cared.

There's a point, but like-- It's just heavy. It's really heavy.

I'm kind of in a similar position, and I know how that feels and that sucks.

And it-- it was the first time in a while, with Taylor, where I was kind of like,

"You know what? I feel bad."

I am jealous of Taylor and the grace that she's given

while going through all the hard things that she's going through,

and feeling like I haven't been given that same understanding.

But there's a level to which I fault myself because I'm not as open,

and I do suppress a lot of my trauma

that could be helping and benefiting others by sharing that.

So yeah, that's something that I'm really working through right now

because that's harder for me.

Well, how do you feel about just putting all of this to rest?

I'm willing to...

you know, squash whatever I can,

simply because I'm like, I--

I do understand I haven't been there to defend myself

and you haven't heard my side.

So, I get that. And I'll give you grace for that.

What if I invited all of the women?

-Would you feel comfortable then? - I like that idea.

Let's all get together to talk.

In my mind, I'm like, that seems like the only solution.

I just need to apologize for my part.

Like, go in with zero expectations.

Demi, I think that's great. I think that you do care so deeply

and it can, you know, make it hurt more.

That's-- That's what sucks

because then making up is that much more vulnerable.

- Agreed. -Because if it's not received

or it's not, um, taken in the way you intended,

then it just feels like...

a slap in the face, you know?

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh, this is looking so good.

I love it.

Today I'm having a grand opening event for my school JZ Academy.

When the Marciano scandal first came out,

I was so terrified that it was gonna ruin my image, my businesses,

take away jobs from people.

I was really spiraling.

And just being in this moment, I'm so grateful.

And it really does show that if you are willing to own your mistakes

and get better and get stronger,

the people that you love will stick by you.

Jovi! Fingers outta your mouth. Oh!

Even though things with Jordan and I have been super up and down,

the end of our 90-day separation is coming up

and we need to make a decision soon.

And if it was up to Jordan, we would've been back together already.

So, I'm feeling a lot of pressure, and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet.

It looks amazing in here.

Oh, Whitney's here.

-Oh, my God, this is beautiful! -I know. Isn't it?

I feel like I have, like, impostor syndrome right now.

I'm like, "Am I supposed to be here?"

But I love doing stuff like this with the girls.

It reminds me, and hopefully them,

like, why we became friends in the first place.

If people would just sit down and have those hard conversations,

shed some light on each other's perspectives,

we might be unstoppable.

Okay. Question:

would you have a conversation with Demi?

-You know I don't like her. -I know.

But it's like, I felt like you were starting

to see what we were all seeing at the reunion

and then, it was like complete 180.

I see what you're saying.

But I also think people aren't seeing what she's seeing.

She's never heard anyone else out.

-Yeah. -So why would we hear her out?

I just think, like, life is too short.

-Like this-- The only thing right now is-- - No!

Life is too short to deal with people's shit!

Damn it!

I am so desperate to get this group back together to what it was,

because look at everything that we've gotten because of this group:

the genuine friendships, the love, the support, the empowerment.

And if we can't sit down and come back to what it was,

it's gone, it's dead.

Guess I'm just hoping for the best.

Like, I literally just like want all of us to go in a room and like hug each other

and be like, "Please, can we all just feel the love?"

Like, holy shit. Hello!

- Hello! -Hello. How are you?

How-- How are you doing?

I'm so exhausted when I go to bed

-that I like, fall asleep. -I get it. And I know Taylor gets it, too.

You look good, and like everything--

All-- But they all do. Like, props to you.

-So, what's up? -So, I kind of had an idea,

and I wanted to know how you guys felt about it.
