Whitney Leavittis learning to be okay with being the “bad guy.”

The soon-to-be mom of three has replied to reactions ofThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

After her first watch, Whitney hinted that things weren’t what they seemed from the show witha TikTokcaptioned, “huh that’s not how I remember it.”

The next day, Whitney postedanother TikTokwhere she used a sound to “plead guilty” to the “crimes” of “setting boundaries,” “expressing that I need space,” and “leaving a group chat.”

Mikayla Matthewsshared some thoughts on the matter as she appeared in a TikTok with Mayci, where the caption reads, “When my bestfriend defends someone who gaslights her and doesn’t support her but says she’s my friend.”

In a TikTok on Tuesday, Sept. 10, Whitney shared a screenshot of an iMessage exchange, where she is seen apologizing to Mayci and explaining that she wasn’t coming to the event before. The text message was from March 1, with Mayci’s launch event happening on March 5.

“I love you to pieces but I’m not going to be as close right now. Nothing personal, but I really just need space. Im not processing things healthy lately. I’m depressed & unhappy and angry all of the time. I just want to be alone right now. I won’t be going to your event. I don’t want to see any of them. I’m so sorry. Again, I love you and appreciate you and am grateful for you,” the message to Mayci reads.

Whitney followed up with another video in which she lip-syncs along to a sound that says, “Fine, make me your villain.”

Mayci seemingly responded with a TikTok where she mouths along with a sound that says, “I’m trying to sit here mute as f—.”

“the disrespect is loud 🥴,” she captioned the video.

Mikayla stirred the pot when she posted another TikTok that jokes about the cast’s “problems.” Each person’s phrase relates to their storyline throughout the season. Last is Whitney, who Mikayla says “Doesn’t know how to be accountable. A little delulu.”

Commenters noted that while all the other cast members are tagged in the video, Whitney is not. Mikayla later took another hit at Whitney, writing on another video, “POV they are incapable of taking accountability when they’re not in control so they just switch their personality AGAIN to match the narrative.”

The caption adds, “Wish me luck🫶🏼🙏🏼 waiting for them to beg me to stay🥲,” tagging all cast members minus Whitney.
