Jessi Draper is hitting back at fans who criticized her for filming with her “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” costars while Taylor Frankie Paul remains MIA from the group. The clip, posted Wednesday, showed Draper, Whitney Leavitt, Jen Affleck, Layla Taylor, and others dancing to “Big Time Rush” with the caption “surviving.” Taylor commented, “Looks like thriving to me, I’ll show you surviving.”
Draper fired back, confirming she’s filming with a group for the show but insisting that doesn’t diminish her friendship with Taylor. She says she’s defended Taylor from the start and still talks to her every single day. She reminded fans that being friends with Taylor doesn’t mean she can’t be friends with others in the MomTok group.
She also told fans they have no idea what’s happening behind the scenes, including her own personal struggles. She suggested they watch the next season, promising all their questions will be answered. Meanwhile, Taylor remains focused on her custody battle with ex Dakota Mortensen. She was back in court Wednesday after Dakota accused her of violating a protective order by allegedly trying to arrange extra visits with their son, Ever.
Texts shown in court included Taylor calling Ever’s cries “annoying” and allegedly saying Dakota “didn’t deserve the domestic violence.” Taylor disputed the texts, calling them “boring.”
