Some cast members reveled in the newfound fame, while others wanted to share their side of the story following viewer backlash.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives catapulted to Hulu's number 1 spot over the weekend, with the TikTok-famous women reaching an even wider audience thanks to their new reality show on the streaming platform.
While fans were busy binging all weekend, so were the wives, as TooFab was told none of them received screeners for the series before doing press last week. In fact, many of them told us they were looking forward to seeing the episodes ... if not a little worried about the reaction from fans or seeing what their costars were saying behind their backs.
So ... what did they think? Well, the reaction seems a bit mixed!
Taylor Frankie Paul Details How Swinging Situation Started, What They Did with Other Couples & Fallout
View StoryTaylor Frankie Paul took to TikTok to post a video to a viral sound to show how "awkward" she now feels with boyfriend Dakota Mortensen's family after the show aired.
Throughout the season, viewers got an inside look into their rocky relationship, as they fought nearly every episode while also expecting their first child together.
Their tumultuous romance -- which was sparked after her first marriage ended from a swinging scandal -- included weathering a miscarriage together, Paul's arrest and her reluctance to get married again as she battled trust issues with Dakota.
Whitney Leavitt, meanwhile, poked fun at her storyline -- saying she was "guilty" of setting boundaries," "expressing I needed space" and "leaving the group chat," after she left #MomTok behind following numerous clashes with the other women.
She captioned that video, "taking accountability. Take me away officer."
Leavitt shared another video showing her looking into camera with the text, "welp just finished watching The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" as Amy Winehouse's "Me & Mr. Jones" plays in the background. The telling lyrics, "What kind of f--kery is this?" can be heard, as Leavitt also mouths, "What the f--k?"
She captioned the video, "huh that's not how I remember it," though it's unclear exactly what she remembered differently.
Paul was quick to comment on the video too.
"Oh noooooooooo," Taylor commented with the sideeye emoji. Leavitt clapped back writing, "You also knowing the truth but not saying anything."
Fellow cast member Mikayla Matthews also commented on the video, calling Leavitt out even more directly by writing, "Sometimes I like to own up to things I do wrong... You should try it."
Matthews hasn't posted any new videos since the show's premiere.
