If you’re tuned in to social media, you may have seen all the controversy surrounding influencer Taylor Paul. She is an influential mom who is part of the Mormon community. Mormons are based within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are based in Utah, and many of them also live in Utah. Taylor Paul is probably one of the best known mom bloggers who is also a Mormon as she has over 3 million followers on TikTok. While she is known for a lot of positive things, she also has a lot of drama surrounding her brand. She has what is known as a MomTok page, which is where much of the drama is created and found. Read on to find out why mom influencer Taylor Paul is so controversial.
Taylor’s TikTok is full of videos and posts about her family and her life. She really does give her fans a front row seat to all the crazy things that happen in her bubble. As some may know, she is getting a divorce from her ex-husband Tate Paul. This shouldn’t be too surprising, as research shows that marriages have a 39 percent chance of ending in the United States. But what got a lot of attention on her page is a post she made about someone other than her ex-husband. It was a video of her singing a love song to another person. Apparently, this is how many of her followers found out that she and her ex-husband were separating.
What makes things even more tense with their fans is the big reveal of what led to their split. Paul went on Instagram live recently and divulged all the juicy details about the nature of the couple’s relationship. She ended up telling the world that she and her husband were what are called “soft swingers.” This is when you have an agreement to be intimate with other people outside of the relationship, but you have a limit where you “don’t go all the way.” She said she broke that arrangement. “We had an agreement, all of us, and I got out of that agreement,” he said.
Taylor Paul mentioned that while this caused problems in the relationship, there were other things that created problems in their marriage. She has never shared these challenges with her TikTok fans, but she did say that certain things happened that ended up being a deal breaker for their relationship. She rules the swinger situation as “the tip of the iceberg” in her relationship problems.
Now, many people have speculated as to who the additional party involved with Taylor Paul was. Some have even joked that the other influential moms on MomTok might be involved, calling them all sister wives. She hasn’t divulged any names, but shared that there are others in the MomTok sphere who are also having relationship issues. “There are three divorces in our friend group right now,” she shared. Apparently, another one of these divorces is also related to the soft swinger scandal.
Paul said that her friends have been there for her during this time. “MomTok has been supportive,” she said. It has been a difficult time for her and this scandal has led her to make some changes. It seems that he is no longer a member of the Mormon swingers club. She seems to be happy and engaged with the guy in her TikTok video of the love song, who is Dakota Mortensen. Many have wondered how the Mormon church will react to the controversy surrounding Taylor at this time. She personally doesn’t anticipate much backlash. “The LDS Church got the most clicks this summer. So I don’t think they’re going to kick out one of their biggest marketers,” he said.
