Tensions grew as Whitney Leavitt broke down in tears while confronting her castmates about the state of their friendships in an emotional first look at The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3.
She was seen sitting surrounded by Taylor Frankie Paul, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mayci Neeley, Jen Affleck, Layla Taylor, Mikayla Matthews, Demi Engemann, and Miranda McWhorter.
Whitney opens up about how difficult it has been for her to form genuine bonds within the group.
“I did want genuine friendships, and it never got to that point,” she begins, her voice cracking as she wipes away tears. “And I’m exhausted.”
Trying to find the words, she continues through sobs, explaining the emotional toll those strained relationships have taken on her as she notes:
"Sorry. Um… but I think I just was so tired, like, trying to rebuild relationships that I cared about, ’cause it does… it does really break my heart with relationships that I did have."
Reflecting on the pain of losing close friends, she added that friendship fallouts have a deeper impact than romantic breakups, as she says,
"I think just sometimes friend breakups can like genuinely be harder than like freaking boyfriend breakups and spousal breakups."
While Whitney’s tearful outburst is going on, there is nobody in the room who seems to have any effect on her emotional confession.
The clip shows some of her fellow wives sighing and rolling their eyes as she speaks.
In her confessional, Mikayla Matthews admits bluntly,
"Normally, I feel bad when people cry, but I don’t feel bad at all."
However, not everyone shared that sentiment as Mayci Neeley takes a softer approach in her own confessional, admitting,
"When Whitney starts crying, I do feel bad. I feel like when anyone cries, I’m just a sucker for it. I’m just like, ‘Oh dang.’ Like, ‘Let’s just leave them alone, let’s stop this conversation.’"
