Taylor Frankie Paul and her #MomTok besties are back at the center of the drama, as season four of the massively popular reality series “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” has just dropped. However, Paul recently shared that this season was definitely not one she enjoyed.

Taylor Frankie Paul Says New ‘Mormon Wives’ Season Was ‘Extremely Hard’

Taking to Instagram, “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul shared insight into the difficulties of filming the show’s fourth season, which was released on Hulu on March 12.

“I for the first time sat down and watched this season and it was extremely hard to do,” Paul began in the caption of the post. “These aren’t just story lines, these are our actual lives we are sharing. I’ll speak for myself on this, I’m not sharing to appease or switch ‘story lines’ for anyone’s entertainment.” 

“A big reason I continue on is to potentially help someone,” she continued. “I know this because I’ve personally watched and listened to people’s experience and it helped me. Takes courage to share such vulnerable topics with an audience. My heart goes out to those around me that share and everyone else that continue to do so the hugs will always outweigh the hate for me.”

The Reality Star Previously Shared Her Struggle With Her Mental Health Last Month

On February 23, Paul shared on Instagram that she has been recently “struggling” with her mental health.

She posted a series of photos documenting her recent struggles with mental health, including a cluttered home, screenshots of texts of her checking in on friends, and a main image of her smiling through tears.

Paul coupled the photo dump with a lengthy caption detailing her struggles with mental health, despite how things may appear on the surface.

“I guess an upside of struggling mentally is you start to sense and see the signs of others feeling the same,” Paul’s caption began. “We’re out here just checking in on each other when we can, and when we don’t respond, it’s not taken personally because we get it.”

“Just be mindful that sometimes that person checking in is the one needing help… and that one took me time to learn,” the reality star continued. “I sometimes ask myself what’s the point of all this sharing this sh—t and I tell myself it may be as simple as making someone feel less alone and if it helps just a few people than it’s worth it.”

‘Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives’ Reportedly Set For Los Angeles Spin-Off

According to TMZ, sources close to the potential spinoff series revealed that a pilot episode has already been filmed and is currently being shopped to streaming services, including Hulu, in hopes of being greenlit for a full season.

Sources also told the outlet that they are eyeing a March start date to film additional episodes, but that timeline rests on whether they are picked up by a streamer.

The show’s pilot is based in Orange County, California, but if it gets picked up, it would likely expand to Los Angeles as well.

As of now, the cast of the spinoff has not been revealed, but production sources told TMZ that “a few familiar faces” would be part of the ensemble.

Fans will have to wait and see whether the new behind-the-scenes control will amp up the show’s drama or produce a more toned-down version.
