Taylor Frankie Paul announced on September 21 that she is quitting the Hulu reality series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," citing months of bullying from her castmates. The 32-year-old influencer made the announcement in a lengthy Instagram post, stating she no longer desires to move forward with the show. Paul expressed gratitude to the networks that supported her and gave her the chance to return, but said she was stepping away due to the ongoing conflict. "I originally was willing to be removed to let them all continue on with less stress and I'm back to that point," she wrote. In her statement, Paul accused her castmates of collectively piling on her with their statements while knowing about her personal struggles. "Almost the entire cast plus some, going at me. laughing about my kids is disgusting," she wrote. She described the treatment as "bullying for months now." Paul also claimed that some cast members had previously asked her to lead demands for higher pay on their behalf, which she declined. "I'm grateful I never followed through with their requests of demands and I'm grateful I kept same pay out of fairness and integrity," she stated.
