The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em><\/a> star Miranda McWhorter<\/strong><\/a> is breaking down where she stands with Shinia Powell<\/strong> after her friend slept with Taylor Frankie Paul<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s ex Dakota Mortensen<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 4.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the Taylor and Dakota of it all was definitely a contributing factor, especially since I was very vocal about how her pursuing that relationship would affect her and would affect me, and it felt like it was just blatantly disregarded on multiple occasions,\u201d Miranda, 27, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> of Shinia ahead of the season 4 premiere<\/a>, which aired on Thursday, March 12.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cAlso, I understood where Taylor was coming from with her frustration as well. As things continue to play out, I think other things unfolded, and it just made that decision easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast is seemingly choosing sides amid Taylor Frankie Paul\u2018s most recent drama with ex Dakota Mortensen. Miranda McWhorter and Layla Taylor shared a TikTok on Tuesday, June 17, of themselves filming content before Dakota steps into the frame. The caption read, \u201cWhen you run into your friend\u2019s ex unexpectedly.\u201d [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While Miranda didn\u2019t share more details about her friendship fallout with Shinia, she noted that her decision to side with Taylor is \u201cbased on a lot more\u201d than what viewers will watch in season 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019ll see that play out more,\u201d she teased, adding that she considers Taylor a friend today.<\/p>\n

Tensions came to a head on season 4 of Mormon Wives<\/em> when MomTok learns that Miranda\u2019s longtime friend Shinia and Dakota have been intimate amid his on-off relationship dynamic<\/a> with Taylor. (Dakota and Taylor welcomed son Ever in March 2024. She\u2019s also mom to daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5,<\/a> whom she shares with ex-husband Tate Paul<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

Taylor, for her part, became frustrated with Miranda for being friends with Shinia and not telling her the news immediately \u2014 before seemingly offering Miranda an ultimatum about her friendships.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFollowing MomTok\u2019s now-infamous \u201csoft-swinging\u201d scandal, Miranda McWhorter took a step back from the group \u2014 but she\u2019s ready to return and share her side of the story in season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. \u201cA lot was going through my mind, coming back, obviously,\u201d Miranda, 27, exclusively tells Us Weekly in the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIf I hear she\u2019s besties with her, I\u2019m cutting you too,\u201d Taylor said during a phone-call with MomTok. \u201cAnd anyone defending her is no friend of mine ever again. Ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
