Summary

  • Mikayla Matthews said Taylor Frankie Paul is wrongly claiming sole credit for “MomTok,” arguing in Instagram stories that Miranda Hope, Camille Munday and Paul started it together.
  • Matthews said Hulu’s show was pitched to her, Mayci Neeley, Whitney Leavitt and Paul as a series about stay-at-home Mormon moms and that each woman was cast for her own value.
  • Taylor Frankie Paul’s earlier posts accused castmates of mocking her personal drama and shared texts she said showed offers—including a Dancing With the Stars spot—that later went to co-stars after she declined.
  • Matthews also accused Paul of weaponizing her larger social-media following, saying repeated threats and claims that others only benefited because she passed were meant to intimidate cast members.
