A MomTok war broke out between Taylor Frankie Paul and the rest of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast over the weekend.
The reality TV personality, 30, called out her co-stars for not supporting her after she made an appearance at the CMA Awards last Wednesday.
‘Not a single one of my girls from Momtok said anything on my CMA post,’ she wrote in an Instagram Story post.
Then, she added that it was ‘awkward’ as she pointed out it was ‘such a big night for me.’
Following the post, her castmates started sharing their receipts in response to the influencer — who recently hinted that she got back together with her baby daddy Dakota Mortensen.

Shortly afterwards, Jessi Ngatikaura took to her Instagram Story with a screenshot of her response to Paul via Instagram DM, per Us Weekly.
‘Tay I literally posted you on my story. Are you for real?’
She continued: ‘Also I reposted your CMA TikTok and texted you the whole day you were there to support you.
‘This is such a weird thing to post instead of coming to us first,’ she added. ‘Weird flex but OK.’
She also left a comment listing all the ways she showed support for Paul but was not acknowledged in her shady post.
‘S*** I forgot to comment even though I’m on vacation with my family and trying to scroll too much,’ she wrote sarcastically alongside a hand over mouth emoji. ‘I’m the worst friend! Forgive me queen Taylor, I’ll bow down now.’
She said that she did ‘repost the CMA’s TikTok of you,’ ‘post you on my story,’ ‘text you all day to congratulate and hype you up.’
Furthermore, Ngatikaura said she did ‘like this post’ and offered ‘free clip-ins for filming and events like this’ for her friend but as well as her mother.

When one social media user left a reply to Ngatikaura’s comment and suggested they were ‘faking’ the drama to increase viewership for their show, the reality star clapped back.
‘One thing about me, I’m not playing into anything online or a storyline,’ she wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a screenshot of the comment.
‘What you see is what you get. If only you guys knew what’s really going on behind the scenes,’ she continued.
‘We don’t need to make things up — our group just has things happen. Case in point — today.’
Their co-star Demi Engemann also seemingly fired back at Paul’s claims with a series of cryptic quotes she reposted on her own Instagram Story.
‘Projection is so funny when you’re self-aware ’cause people really can’t see outside of their *own* perspective and experiences. Like honey nothing you said has s*** to do with me. Sounds like this is actually about you,’ the quote read.
Alongside the quote, Engemann wrote: ‘IYKYK.’
She also shared another quote, which read: ‘Being called sensitive for reacting to disrespect is manipulation at its finest.’
Mikayla Matthews and Mayci Neeley also acknowledged the drama in a TikTok post even though they went on to leave sweet comments underneath Paul’s post. In the TikTok clip, Matthews admitted that she did not comment on Paul’s Instagram post
Then, she commented underneath Paul’s post and said her co-star is ‘so amazing’ and she is ‘so proud’ of her
Neeley also commented: ‘The love of my life’

Mikayla Matthews and Mayci Neeley also acknowledged the drama in a TikTok post even though they went on to leave sweet comments underneath Paul’s post.
Matthews admitted that she did not comment on Paul’s Instagram post.
‘Since we were all called out publicly, there’s one more secret I feel I have to share with you. I missed Taylor’s post yesterday,’ she wrote in text alongside a clip of her lip syncing to a viral Family Guy audio clip.
‘What?’ Neeley responded before Matthews added, ‘I didn’t comment either.’
Matthews captioned her post: ‘Hope this clears things up.’
Shortly afterwards, Paul took to her Instagram Story to address the situation again and explain how she felt. ‘Just as WHOLE made me feel off,’ she wrote over the first video.
She then added: ‘I don’t think I’m queen, just felt pettiness so I came back petty per usual.’
Paul continued, ‘I guess I ruffled some feathers, a little too much. But first off, we are not allowed to talk about any storyline, so this is not made up by any means. That little concoction I made myself, I guess. I thought it was awkward that every single one of my friends was silent. That’s all I meant by that. I have a lot of supportive girls in this group, and I never said anyone specifically is not supportive because they are. Not a single one. I just felt off by it, so I made a petty post, and are we shocked?’
Shortly afterwards, Paul shared a TikTok video seemingly signaling that the drama had ended
The reality star rose to fame when her and her MomTok friends starred in the Hulu series — The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — earlier this year. The show stars the aforementioned cast members as well as Jen Affleck, Whitney Leavitt and Layla Taylor

She added: ‘Since Demi is the most triggered by it, it’s interesting because she phone called me the other day saying, “I feel like you don’t really support me on social media.” So it’s weird that it matters when it comes to her, but when it comes to me, it shouldn’t be a big deal, and they don’t have to bow down to me.’
‘Sure you don’t have to like my stuff. That’s fine. Again, nowadays, it’s your message without saying a message, and we can, I think, all agree. For all the girls telling me I should have handled this differently and offline as they’re literally eating me alive online right now, maybe they feel justified but don’t come at me if you’re going to do the exact same thing.’
