The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Mayci Neeley and Mikayla Matthews are entering the chat after Demi Engemann’s singing with husband Bret Engemann went viral.
In an Instagram video uploaded on Sunday, March 29, Mikayla, 26, reacted to a fan who commented, “Can y’all sing true colours?” Mikayla wrote in text over the video, “99 percent accuracy.”
“True Colours are beautiful,” Mikayla sang, while Mayci, 31, joined in. “Like a rainbow.”
Mayci began laughing because the video got here to an end. Mikayla captioned the post, “Sorry Mayci was a bit of breathy 👀😬.”
In season 4 of Mormon Wives, Demi and Bret were filmed heading to a recording studio to sing “True Colours.” The interaction made the rounds online primarily, as a consequence of Demi’s critique of Bret’s singing. Demi and Bret, nonetheless, weren’t heavily featured in season 4 of the Hulu show.
“I’d come and go, but there are those who stay that wish to go that don’t have the balls to go,” Demi quipped to TMZ in an interview published on March 13, without naming names. “I’ll all the time be the girl that walks away for my peace [and] mental health. Like, it’s my opportunity too, so I can do what I would like.”
She added, “I don’t regret anything, and I’ll stand by my decision to return and go as I would like to.”
At some point prior to the remark, Demi’s former BFF Jessi Draper told E! News that “it wasn’t super surprising” to see her leave the show.
“Running off makes you look worse, for my part,” Jessi, 33, told the outlet on March 12. “I wasn’t surprised, because she does this quite a bit.”
As for whether Demi sees a future with Mormon Wives, she teased that her decision will rely upon how she feels “moment to moment.”
“[It will be] based on what feels right to me, and where my mental health’s at and what’s best for my family,” she told TMZ, sharing that she has “so many fun things coming” within the interim. “I’m so excited, it’s something latest, [but] I can’t say anything.”
Days after her interview, multiple outlets reported that season 5 of Mormon Wives halted production after Taylor Frankie Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen were involved in an alleged domestic violence dispute weeks prior in Utah. A spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly that there may be an open “domestic assault investigation” with the pair, noting that “allegations have been made in each directions.”
After news broke about Taylor and Dakota’s police investigation, their Mormon Wives costars reportedly met with Hulu and Disney executives to discuss a possible break from filming.
“It’s a dangerous situation, it’s a tragic situation, and we don’t know find out how to navigate it because Taylor is our friend,” one solid member said through the call, NBC News reported, citing audio from the meeting.
Mikayla, for her part, confirmed MomTok’s decision to halt filming. “It was a call that every one of us girls got here up with and agreed on,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “We didn’t feel comfortable filming with every little thing that was happening.”
