Fans Criticize Demi Engemann from ‘Mormon Wives’ for Continuing the Drama

The drama between Taylor Frankie Paul and Demi Engemann, stars of Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” shows no signs of slowing. Their ongoing feud plays out across social media through posts, videos, and comments, keeping fans captivated by the back-and-forth accusations and heated words.

But when is enough enough? Fans are beginning to think the drama is getting out of hand and specifically call out Engemann for keeping the online insanity going strong.

On Saturday, more shots were seemingly fired in Paul’s direction by Engemann. A newly shared TikTok video of Engemann and her husband had fans in the comment section saying enough is enough already.

“Who needs enemies when you got friends like Taylor’s,” one person wrote. Another added, “This drama is more embarrassing than high school drama.” One other fan pointed out, “Demi I’m tired of this honestly.”

Another fan shared the theory, “My guess is without Whitney they needed a new villain and picked Demi which sucks cause she was my fav.” 

And then there’s the comment, “You guys stop. It’s like watching my mom and aunt fight,” to which Engemann replied, “Those are the worst kind of fights.”

Many others felt the same and commented, “I’m tired,” “Girl enough,” “Can the fighting stop?” and “You guys are the reason why I’m glad to not have friends at this age.”

The recent online drama between Paul and Engemann all began when Paul called out her fellow MomTok moms for not acknowledging her big moment as a presenter on the recent CMAs. Engemann clearly took offense to being called out that way and the social media battle began.

In addition to creating her own content, Engemann has also gone around to other people’s videos and left comments.

TikToker Stephanie Tleiji, who goes by @stephwithdadeets on the app, has been keeping her followers up to date on all the tea spilling action between the Utah Mormon wives of MomTok. Engemann has taken note and not only commented on her content but also sent her a lengthy DM with her side of the argument. Tleiji shared the DM with her followers and added her thoughts in a recently shared video.

Just when fans, and Tleiji, thought things might be cooling down, Engemann’s DM happened.

“So someone sent me a little message yesterday. In real life, guys, if someone would ever send me a text that’s like an essay long, I’m like, we could have a conversation, I’m not doing this, the back and forth, all the typing, no thank you,” Tleiji said. “So, I guess you can take this as our conversation.”

Engemann’s DM to Tleiji started out, “I’m not going to argue with your biased opinions on Taylor.” The rest of the long message followed that strong vibe.

“Go ahead and keep her on a pedestal if you want without knowing how she is behind closed doors, I guess. I’ll admit that I’m being defensive, what’s confusing is why people are more worried about the one on defense than the offender? My intense reaction to her story post isn’t coming out of nowhere! This is obviously a boiling point and everyone including yourself is completely turning a blind eye to the hundreds of red flags right in front of your face.”

In a recently shared video on TikTok, Tleiji shared her unfiltered thoughts about Engemann’s newest video shading Paul.

“Looks like Demi is trying to pull a Taylor Frankie Paul with a subliminal funny clapback, but I’m gonna say it failed,” she explained. “Seems like Taylor did comment on this post, however, I’m not seeing the comment there as of now.”

She further explained that it appears that Engemann is “blaming all her recent backlash on Taylor Frankie Paul’s following.”

“It’s really funny, Demi, because this cult of a following, cause yes, she has referred to us as a cult, if you support Taylor, your part of this cult, by the way,” she continued. “A lot of the people that support Taylor used to support you up until you went on a crazy commenting spree showing all the hatred that you have in your heart for Taylor Frankie Paul. And I would say some jealousy at that because I’ve never seen someone bring up someone else’s following so many times.”

Tleiji then showed the comment that Paul left – “I think we all saw what we needed to see. Thank goodness for my petty post.”

She then dove into the comment section and even saw that Engemann was talking about her!

The conversation about Engemann’s recent online behavior continued in the comment section of Tleiji’s video.

“Demi is out here serving pure Utah mean girl vibes (coming from a girl that got it DIRECTLY from the meanest girls in Utah). No accountability, only seeing their pure hateful side of the story,” one viewer shared.

Another said, “It’s crazy how Demi is like saying she’s the only honest one when she literally does have inconsistencies. She’s like blinded by rage and it’s getting so weird with how public she’s taking it.”

One other viewer took the other side of the argument sharing, “Why is it an issue when Demi defends herself and responds back, but Taylor can do/comment whatever she wants and you don’t have an issue. It is giving biased.”

Do you think enough is enough or are you loving all the drama between the stars of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” between seasons?

Season 1 of the hit reality show can be streamed on Hulu. Season 2 is currently filming and will be released in spring 2025.
