About this episode

This episode revisits Dives' commentary on Taylor Frankie Paul, exploring her rise to fame and the controversies surrounding her in the context of modern Mormon culture.

Taylor Frankie Paul became an internet sensation after helping launch the viral MomTok movement and later starring in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. She was also reportedly attached to a new Bachelorette-related project, but after video connected to her child abuse arrest became public, the project was ultimately shelved.Although Taylor has said she no longer identifies with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, her name continues to surface whenever Mormon culture and social media collide.In this throwback episode, I revisit one of my earlier commentaries on Taylor Frankie Paul. I share my candid opinions about her rise to fame, the controversies surrounding her, and why she has become one of the most polarizing influencers associated with modern Mormon culture. Whether you agree with my perspective or not, I think you'll find the discussion interesting.If you enjoy Mormon news, commentary, history, and analysis, be sure to subscribe for new videos every week.#TaylorFrankiePaul #MomTok #SecretLivesOfMormonWives #Mormon #LDS #ExMormon #MormonNews #RealityTV #YouTubeCommentary #ThrowbackPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon…
