♪♪
I didn't even know 'til I got here.
Can you just stop for a second
and just, like, think of me as a person
and my character?
Can you just think
about me, please?
Dakota and Zac are mad that
their wives are going to Chippendales.
They're not even going to Chippendales,
but just walking inside the building.
- Dakota's mad.
- Uh-oh. What did you say to him?
I was like, "It's Chippendales."
He goes, "Dumb."
And I was like, "It's just a performance."
It's honestly shocking
that they're so mad.
He doesn't wanna
be married to me if I do stuff like this.
I thought this girls' trip
would be drama-free,
and if there was drama,
maybe it'd be between the girls.
But somehow the drama's now
with the husbands.
And I was not expecting this.
I feel like drama just follows us.
Right when we're in a good spot
and we're progressing,
it's like something else has to happen.
Like, I haven't done anything wrong.
No, we have not even gone in there, like--
I just hate
when he starts questioning my character.
Yeah.
- Like, I'm a good person.
- You've been great.
- I've done nothing wrong.
- No.
My husband is blowing up my phone
and he is just absolutely beside himself.
I should've known.
I should've known.
The difference between the saints
and the sinners is that,
for someone like me,
I think most of my friends know where
my boundaries are at with my husband.
Me being a part of this group of girls
has already been a lot for him
and I really think
this just kind of crossed the line.
Jen, I'm gonna go home
with you and Mikayla.
-Dakota's pissed too?
-Uh, are we shocked?
Yeah, I am.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Why?
'Cause this is an extreme level.
It's very on-brand--
I don't know
if they understand what this is.
I think Dakota being with Zac, they're
kinda the same, they're protective.
I think they were looking up things
and, like, showing each other, like,
what we were seeing and doing,
making up this story in their head.
So, Jen, are--
And then you're coming, right?
Mm-hm.
Okay, so us three can go chill
or something if you want at home.
We'll meet you guys back there.
Here we have a perfect example
of the misogyny that goes on
within the Mormon church
and I don't know if that's going to be
solved by them not going to Chippendales.
- Seats are right here.
- Woo! Front and center, baby!
Woo! Viva Las Vegas!

Tell Zac the only stripper
you're watching tonight is us.
Me and Taylor.
-Ooh!
-Give me the black one.
Am I the devil?
Zac's making me feel like
I did do something.
He's making me feel like
I cheated on him or something
and I clearly didn't do anything.
And he knows, like,
my heart and my intentions.
And so, it's so upsetting that
he-he doesn't believe me or trust me.
I would never do anything
to jeopardize our marriage.
And it makes me sad that
he doesn't feel that way.
How you guys doing out there tonight?
Are you guys ready to have some fun?
Oh, Chippendales.
I've heard of it all my life.
This is my first time going.
And, honestly, jaw on the floor.
♪♪
I can't believe the other girls
are missing this right now.
We're having the time of our lives.
We are letting loose, we're having fun.
And this is what Vegas is all about.
You, I really want
to D-A-N-C-E with you ♪
♪♪
One of my favorite moments
from the show is when
Layla gets pulled on stage.
She's single,
she's the one that deserves it.
But seeing her get, like, bent over
and danced on just made my night.
♪♪
I just wanna be with my kids.
Same.
-Screw everyone else.
-Screw, screw this trip.
Screw everyone.
Well, I guess I haven't had
enough chocolate donuts today.
-So
-Stop it.
- Come take a seat.
- Screwing myself over with baby weight.
I do feel like for Jen and I,
this trip is gonna be pretty shitty.
Feel like we have more on our mind now.
We're on eggshells of, like, what we can
and cannot do, what we can say.
Dakota's not happy about it,
but I'm like, "You can just shut up now."
It's not good for any of us,
let's just say.
The text message that Zac
just sent me was, "I'm done, Jen.
Not interested in talking.
I can't do this anymore with you."
Zac, he's typically the type of person
who likes to talk things out.
For him to respond this way,
uh honestly scares me.
To be honest,
I-I really don't know what's going on.
♪♪
Dude, Bret, what's up, dawg?
- How are ya?
- I'm doing okay, bro.
Like, just, like, me and Taylor, it sucks
'cause it's, like, you know, they all went
to, like, freaking
Chippendales and stuff.
And he's gambling right now,
and then, he's, like,
pissed too at Jen, like--
And, you know, all I,
all I can envision, dude,
is, like, I'm one of those people
where I might go to worst-case scenarios
and I'm, like, envisioning,
like, these male strippers,
like, dancing on Taylor while she's
36 pr-- weeks pregnant with my kid.
I want this relationship to work.
Like, I want to raise my kid with Taylor
and I want to, like, have that family.
And, uh, like, I don't, I don't--
Dude, I don't wanna lose that.
And I think that's why it, like,
scares me so bad is 'cause I just--
It's, like, something
I don't want to lose, like--
I don't know.
I just--
Sometimes I'm like,
"Damn, I don't even know
if I could handle something like that."
I really do appreciate you answering, man.
Like, sometimes that's, like, what I need
is that I just need to, like,
almost talk a little bit.
Take care, buddy.
♪♪
Thank you.
Woo!
-Yeah, don't forget your souvenir!
-Don't forget my souvenir!
Chippendales was so fun.
I'm so glad that us girls stayed
and got to experience that.
I'm just sad that not everyone was there.
So, now we're gonna go home
and check on the girls,
see how they're feeling
since their husbands wanted them
to be locked away in the house tonight.
But I just wanna make sure that
they're still able to have a good weekend.
If there are men here,
I will actually lose my shit.
No!
Woo!
Ladies, the party has arrived!
Woo!
- Ladies only?
- Yes.
- Labias only?
- Woo!
Woo-hoo, I got a souvenir. Woo!
I got pulled up on stage,
like, he was, like, straddling over me
and then he pulled his pants down
and put my hands on his butt
and I went, "Wee!"
Guess who I found?
My husband!
On his profile, his bio says, "God first,
dancer for Chippendales second."
- He has a heart!
- Oh, cute.
He's not just a good body.
- And a STD, but it's fine.
- Yeah.
- Oh, no.
- What's wrong?
Pardon me?
"Done with everything"?
He's saying,
"I'm not gonna be married
to someone who doesn't have
values and morals." Like--
What? He text that?
Yes, it's, like, what have
I done in this situation
to, like, lose your trust?
He has no right
to, like, be saying those things.
And threatening your marriage.
That's really weird to me.
Someone who carried
two of your freaking children
and l-- and has been nothing
but supportive and bending over backwards
to try to support him through medical
school and everything, that's gross.
Sorry, there's no other way to put it.
That's gross.
It's, like, uh, he's judging you
on something you didn't even do.
And that's not okay.
I know that doesn't make
the situation better, but--
-It's really strange.
-No, I think it's totally valid.
- It is.
- Well, and we're not there.
I'm like, "Why are you
- Why are you still talking?
- arguing like she's there?"
That's what I'm saying,
that's what I told Dakota.
I was like, "I went home.
There's nothing else to say. Zip it."
It's shocking to me that not only Taylor
is dealing with this, but also Jen.
I'll be back, guys.
I'm gonna change.
If their husbands and boyfriend
are still pissed about this,
it feels like
they're stuck in another era.
I don't know how to say this any nicer,
but if I was in your relationship,
I'd wanna jump off a cliff.
How do you do it? Both of you!
My gosh, aren't you miserable?
Yeah.
Like, not just in the relationship,
I'm just tired in general, like--
I don't know.
But I've crea-- I mean, I've created a lot
of these issues too, like, it's not--
I know. Aren't you guys done
being miserable? That's exhausting.
Yeah, and I told him that; I was like,
"If you're, like, miserable and not happy,
like, you gotta walk away."
I just-- I'm looking at marriage
and if these problems are already kinda
coming up with Dakota and I,
I feel like you're on a better behavior
dating than you are in a marriage.
So, I don't want that to get
to that level ever with, like,
how Zac tries to control Jen,
that will never be okay with me.
And I really want
to confront Dakota about it
and shut it down.
- In his thoughts, you know?
- Do you wanna go see him?
I don't think I'll be able to sleep
unless I, like, talk to him about it.
I don't want to see Dakota,
but I wanna sleep alone.
I mean, I'm not apologizing
for anything, but.
You did what you're supposed to,
you came home.
There's nothing else you could've done.
♪♪
- Good morning.
- Hello.
- My eyes are, like, half closed.
- Yeah.
The only thing going
is just the way--
I love these little cherries.
They're so cute.
Woo, baby!
- Woo!
- Woo. Woo-woo-woo!
Put that belly away!
I am extremely pregnant.
I'm frustrated, I'm exhausted,
and I'm tired.
Dakota and I haven't talked
since last night
and, honestly, like,
I am done taking shit.
Oh, you're gonna die.
Tell 'em what happened.
Last night,
Jen left the house at 2:00 a.m.
This is her for literally two hours.
- Oh, no.
- Oh.
Just texting, texting.
I'm like, "Why don't you call him?"
"He won't talk to me."
"Why don't you go see him?"
"He doesn't wanna see me. He's done."
Zac is the biggest narcissist.
- Oh, no.
- The things he was saying, guys!
- What?
- She had me read their entire thread
and I'm so glad I did because
it literally was
10 times worse than I can imagine.
"I'm fucking done, Jen.
I'm done with you.
I'm done with our marriage.
I'm done. You're disgusting."
- "I don't love you."
- Yeah.
No!
Zac was essentially
just playing games with Jen.
And she kept saying,
"Can we get on a phone call?
Can we talk? Can I come see you?"
He literally just said,
"This is where I am,
come right now
or, or I'm not talking to you."
He's threatening to take the kids,
he's threatening to move home
to his mom's house.
It's giving crazy.
Clearly, she's upset.
She left at 2:00 in the morning in Vegas
and then I never heard from her again.
You can't take those words back;
even if they work through this,
she's always gonna
have that in her head.
This is gonna damage her
the rest of her life.
Zac texts Jen and he was like,
"The fact that you would even put yourself
in this situation, Jen."
She's like, "I didn't know!"
She said,
"Everyone else's husbands are like,
"'Have a good time.
I love you. I trust you.'
"I thought that there would be
some sort of response
in that vicinity knowing our history."
And he goes, "Stop bringing up
other couples that I would
wanna be nothing like."
He's like,
"Jess cheated on her ex-husband."
Which is not true.
I'm like, "Where did you get that?"
"Mayci and Jacob are a joke."
Um, "she walks all over him, he's, he--"
No, literally!
"Demi, divorced
and married to a 50-year-old."
What?
But he is, like, trying
to come off like he is this alpha
and I'm like, "You look like
the biggest baby bitch right now."
No, truly.
I had an idea
of how controlling Zac could be,
but I really had no idea it was this bad
until hearing and seeing
all the text messages.
And I don't know
if it's a matter of trust,
I don't know if it's a matter
of, like, these men being in the church
and maybe seeing the traditional values,
I'm not quite sure.
But as MomTok,
we all rally around each other.
We see that this behavior is not okay
and it's not normal.
She's like, "What would--
What would you do? What would you--"
And I'm like, "This isn't the Jen
that I see that's fierce
and, like, confident and--"
He sucks the life out of her.
Like, she's like a ray of sunshine
and he, like, dims it.
Ew! Ew, ew, ew!
Hi.
What are you doing?
I'm at a go-karting place.
Oh, fun! Who you with?
- By myself.
- Why are you by yourself?
Zac just, like, uh, bounced.
I-I don't know,
I don't know what's going on.
I can't, like--
He, like, texted me last night, but--
What'd he say?
Uh, that he was just
going back to his room.
And that was the last I heard of him.
Well, Jen, Jen went over there last night.
- Oh, she did?
- Yeah, I felt bad.
She didn't leave here, though,
'til, like, I think, 2:00 a.m.
Well, yeah, I think he gambled
'til, like, probably 1:30 or 2:00, so.
So, Zac was gambling 'til 1:30 a.m.?
Oh, shit.
Wait, why? Was I not supposed
to say that or something?
I think Zac's gambling is bad.
Jen told me that
his family gave him a chunk of money
to help them through medical school
and kind of ease the burden
and he blew right through it.
I don't even know what's going on.
Jen was, like, crying
'cause she was like--
he was making her feel like
she did something super wrong.
Like, 'cause we went in there,
we met them and stuff and, like, we--
Obviously, Jen was--
- Yeah.
- Oh, you didn't tell me that.
Well, I'm telling you that right now.
Well, why didn't
you tell me that last night?
We haven't talked at all,
so where would I have told you that?
Last night.
I'm telling you right now,
so what's the issue?
The fact that
you didn't tell me that last night--
I didn't--
Okay, I didn't tell you last night.
But I'm telling you right now.
So, where is the issue?
Dakota is so mad that Taylor
went backstage and met these dancers.
I think when men get upset
about this kinda thing,
it really shows that they have
a lot of insecurities.
And it makes me feel like
he's hiding something.
Like, there's something off about that.
And now I got this confession
about Dakota.
I feel like this easily could be true.
And I feel like we need
to get to the bottom of it.
Why'd you call me again?
- I don't know. Just checking in.
- Yeah, okay.
Cool.
- Did you hang up on him?
- Yeah. Why'd he call me?
I do know for a fact
Dakota and I do trigger each other.
I don't know if he's intentionally picking
fights because I won't commit to him.
I do feel like, as time goes on,
he gets more frustrated,
which always causes fights.
It's just-- It's frustrating.
Taylor!

I admit I am wild,
but I confess I like your smile ♪
I'm paranoid you'll leave me riled ♪
Jen's gone.
She's not answering any of our texts.
And, of course, I'm worried about her
because I feel responsible.
Chippendales is supposed
to be a fun place.
And hearing what Dakota and Zac's
reactions were,
I would like to say that I'm shocked,
but I'm not.
Zac is the typical LDS husband
who expects perfection from his wife
even if it's hypocritical
because he makes mistakes too.
And that makes me
really sad because I don't think
she did anything wrong.
Food's here.
I'm-- I just feel like
I'm so sick of men ruining our trips!
I know!
-Gosh!
-Screw the men.
-I just think it's the silliest thing.
-It's all insecurity.
It's just so silly.
Like, why are we acting like
little toddlers running around?
The men have caused more drama
in this group than the women have,
I feel like, at this point.
-Like, it's kinda weird.
-Eh, I wouldn't say that.
I don't know about that.
You're-- I think you're a little bit, um,
rose-colored glasses without Whitney here.
Oh, true that! I keep forgetting
she's a part of our group.
Still pretending she's not.
- If she wasn't here, then for sure--
- Pretending she's not.
She's not part of my group.
And I will say,
she's always been impulsive,
but I've never seen her this impulsive.
Lately, very hot and cold,
and she's getting angry easily,
and crying easily.
I'm like, "Are you okay?"
I haven't given up on Whitney
being part of MomTok.
I know everyone else has
and they're having these conversations,
but I still feel like there's a chance
that she could come back,
apologize for the things
that she's done to the group.
-You guys know where Whitney is?
-Oh, is Whitney not here yet?
-She's not coming.
-What do you mean?
She unfollowed all of us.
No!
Demi, I have a gift for you, though.
Oh. Shut up!
- Fruity Pebbles.
- I'm dead.
So dumb.
But the one thing I will say
is this trip has been
a bit more peaceful without her there
'cause I don't have to be going
back and forth between the friends.
It almost seems like sometimes
she can't control her emotions
until, like, a little bit later.
I'm like, "Whit, like, calm down." Like--
I think angry-wise,
she's never been this angry.
She's always been this impulsive.
She's always been this back and forth--
I truly don't know
if she's capable of true friendship.
Until I can see that
there is some reciprocation there
and, like, some actual acknowledgment
of, like, her part in things,
I am taking 20 steps back.
100%. Me too.

We've got three bowls.
You open the top
and then you squirt it in.
I can help you.
I just got off the phone with Jordan.
You're not gonna believe what he told me.
What?
I know you're trying
to, like, avoid the drama,
so you want me
to tell you what's going on?
I mean, yeah. What?
Everybody went to Vegas.
But I guess Dakota and Zac also went down.
Dakota didn't wanna go down alone
because he's an ex-addict
without having someone
there to support him.
And I guess last night,
the girls decided to go to, like, a show.
Fun.
And they decided to do Chippendales.
According to Jordan,
the girls got, like, VIP access.
So, they got to go, like, backstage
and, like, help oil up the guys.
Zac and Dakota were pissed off.
Zac blows up on Jen.
Calls her terrible names,
according to, according to Jordan,
like "a terrible mother".
He started threatening,
threatening Jen with divorce.
Said, "I want a divorce.
My stuff's gonna be
out of the house by tomorrow."
-Like, "You have no values."
-What?
Do you think he's being serious?
I don't know and I don't care.
It's not my marriage.
I'm just saying.
I could see where he's coming from
because I don't think she's a good friend.
I think it's fair to say
what happens in Vegas
doesn't always stay in Vegas.
I made the right choice
to not attend that event.
So far in this MomTok group, honestly,
Mayci's really my only friend.
Nobody's talking to me.
Nobody's reaching out to me.
That's totally fine.
But Mayci's definitely my only girl
right now.
I, like, can't relate with these women.
I don't wanna be around those women
because every s--
'cause of what's happening
- every single time I'm around you.
- Yeah.
Don't feel safe.
I leave feeling horrible about myself
when I'm trying to get better.
Why would I wanna be
around people like that?
It takes a lot of confidence
and a lot of courage
to make the decision you made to,
you know, to say, "You know what, like,
I need to create this boundary for myself
to protect my emotions, to protect
how I feel, to protect my mental state."
I love what MomTok stands for.
And I feel like I've already done
so much for this platform
that I can continue to do so much,
but I don't know if it's-- if I wanna
do it with this group of women.
The easy decision
would've just been to go.
I mean, I'd be lying if I said
I didn't have a bit of FOMO, for sure.
- But also--
- After hearing all this,
-did it go away?
-Absolutely.
MomTok's not what it was.
And I don't know if it ever will be again.
♪♪
- It's windy!
- Can we play pickleball for 15 minutes?
- Yeah.
- Hey!
You're playing with a ping-pong champion.
Ow! God!
That was a dart! Let's get 'em.
- She came outta nowhere.
- It's 1-0.
Even though we won, that point
didn't count 'cause we weren't serving.
The vibes are just off, and I feel like
we need to blow off some steam.
But Jen is missing and I'm worried.
I mean, maybe I watch too much true crime,
but I feel like you
hear these stories a lot.
And I'm not saying that Zac would do that,
but at this point, my mind's in circles.
I feel like anything can happen,
especially 'cause she's MIA,
she's not answering her phone.
There you go.
It did!
-Woo!
-Woo!
That's game, baby!
Oh, you're not supposed to smack 'em!
Gonna break 'em!
We have to make sure we're there for her
when she returns.
It sucks, but we also wanna make sure
we're taking care of our friend.
Woo! Oh, that is hot!
Woo!
And then it got cold.
This group of six right now,
I'm, like, I love.
- I know. No, it's great.
- No, no issue.
Guys, I don't think
you realize that my skin is damaged.
I know.
We were dying that you posted,
like, a photo of Jen and tagged her.
You should've been like,
"Jen, where are you at?"
"Jen, answer the phone."
No, I should post it, "Last seen."
- Sending out a missing person--
- Missing person alert.
Wait, Jen just text me.
- What?
- No, she didn't!
- What did she say?
- She said, "We were up all night, dude.
It was the hardest conversation
I've ever had with him."
What does that mean?
I mean, I'm sure she'll tell us later.
We're so impatient.
"Well, what does it mean?"
Is your last name,
is your last name still Affleck or not?
What'd you say, Demi?
I said, "Holy shit, dude.
I'm so glad you're okay.
Was legitimately worried.
I wanna hear it all. How did it end?"
I'm just gonna be kind of
annoyed if she comes tonight
and she, like, drags down the mood.
Or she's like, "You guys, it's
all fine, like, he-he respects me now."
'Cause she does that a lot
where she's like, "No, he understands."
And I'm like, "No, he doesn't."
Jen and I, we do share different
religious views, which can be hard,
but I feel like Zac
is the exact type of person
that I have a problem with in the church.
Jen likes to tell me
that Zac is protective,
but I prefer to say controlling.
It really saddens me that she's been
living with this for so long
and she hasn't confided in us
as her friends.
It's actually my first time
sitting on this couch.
-It's actually comfy--
-But I'm like, where is it from?
'Cause I actually kinda want it
'cause of the depth.
Doesn't it have, like, the little tag
or is that on the cushion?
- It's on that one under your head.
- It's not. It's not.
Oh, your titties are in my face!
- There's not much--
- Waa!
- There's not much to see.
- Now your coochie's in my face.
- There is much to see there.
- What is happening?
- Count yourself lucky. Oh, here it is.
- Oh, my G-- Good heavens!
- Look, it's-- Doesn't say.
- What is it?
Oh, great, all that for nothing.
It's Dakota.

-She has been?

Just real quick.

I just wanted to come and talk to you.
I just feel like, uh, I definitely,

Mm-hm.
And so, I'm-I'm just sorry.
I really am, Taylor.
I kn-- I know you're too tired

everyone because of what I've done, one.
Those stay with you.
And then not only that,
I saw so many lies from other people.
It's, it's just so hard.
I came into this relationship where
you did show me
a completely different you.
You were extremely loving to me.
You extremely reassuring to me.
You were extremely in this
and committed to me.
And things progressively
got worse and worse for you.
-No.
-Things got worse--
I mean, I disagree with that.
I don't one bit.
That's how it went.
-No, it went, I, I let you in
-Yeah.
and the guard went up
because of the lies.
I'm feeling really nervous to tell Taylor
about the confession about Dakota.
She deserves to know the truth.
But I am worried because we're days away
from her having a baby.
We're in Vegas in an Airbnb.
I don't want her giving birth
in our Airbnb.
I won't be able to catch that baby,
so we need someone else to do it.
We're both very broken
and it's really sad because
I don't know how two
broken people that are drowning
help each other, you know?
Right now, I feel very fed up.
I think I'm just, one, so exhausted,
I'm so pregnant.
Just let me have this time, deliver,
and then when the time's right,
we can discuss these things.
But right now, you see me struggling
all day, every day.
Maybe keep your mouth shut
and, like, just feel for me at this time.
Think they're gonna come
to some sorta resolution I hope, at least.
And then I'm like,
"By the way, look what I got!"
You know what I mean?
It's like, "Gosh."
But I also feel like she needs to know.
I just-- Now I'm wishing
I told her earlier.
I just wish it wasn't
something that you got.
And I wish this whole
situation wasn't happening.
I know.
I'm stressed just thinking about it.

Never! Taylor learned her lesson.

No, I was just gonna say that. Do--

-I'm so hungry, I can't wait.

-How are you doing? Are you okay?
-Yeah, why?
You're just so pregnant.
I just am, like, worried.
Wait, how did your conversation
with Dakota go?
We're both, like, struggling
on our own.
But I told him I just didn't
wanna be Jen in five years.
-I was, like, thankful I wasn't married.
-Yeah.
So, I guess Jen's not coming.
So, I heard they were talking.
Did they amend things?
Like, I'm curious what they did all day.
What bugs me is Zac making Jen
feel guilty, like this bad person,
for showing up to a surprise
we didn't have any idea that was going on.
He went out and did
his thing he's not proud of,
gambling, it's frowned upon
in our religion.
I know that that's, like,
a hidden, little secret of his,
but I just feel like she's enabling it
with, like, letting him gamble and stuff.
That, to me, is very confusing,
and hypocritical, and not fair.
Are you gonna say
something to her about it?
-I-I kinda want to.
-I'm like, "I'll leave that up to you
'cause I made a promise
not to say anything."
No, but I, I was gonna
call her and I forgot my phone.
Call her and just know you'll be
on speaker with Zac as well.
Yeah, it's true.
Hi, baby girl.
Hi, what's up?
My gosh, I'm so happy
to hear your voice finally.
I know, I know.
-Wait, where are you?
-You're not on speaker.
I just got to the house,
so I was gonna, uh, start getting ready,
but I just wanted to see
where you guys were at
and if you guys ordered already.
- Um--
- We just got our food.
Are things okay with you and Zac?
Oh, things are great.
Oh, my gosh, it-it was honestly so needed.
Jen finally calls us back
and she just sounds so different
on the phone.
Like, it needed to happen.
Like, it does not sound like her.
It almost sounds like
she has a gun to her head
and she's like,
"Everything's wonderful.
Everything's perfect. I'm so happy. Hm."
And yet, she's, like, dying inside
and, like, sweating.
'Cause the way you-you left in an Uber
at 2:00 a.m., I am freaking confused.
I feel like Zac dims Jen's light.
Feels like she can't even say
what she means
because she's so worried
about his opinion and what he thinks.
And this is pretty much
the opposite, like,
everything we stand for
as a group at MomTok.
We're about, like, empowering women,
about being strong,
and standing up for ourselves.
And that's how Jen is
until she's with her husband.
Okay, love you.
- Love you, bye.
- Bye.
She's on speaker.
She's like, "It went great."
- "It's all fine. Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
- Yeah, I know. It's like,
-"It went fabulous."
-It's creepy.
You guys, I was in this relationship.
Like, I know, like--
My ex-husband was just like this.
You guys, I cannot see Zac tonight.
Like, if he is at the house, like,
I will not be able to hold myself back.
I-It's always the nicest guys, like
Ted Bundy.
Like, not to say he's gonna do that
but, like, people say he--
that he's a charmer
and he was, like, very charismatic.
Because he has to know
how to draw people in.
So, to the bars
'cause this-- the guy that owns this place
owns all the bars on the street.
We're gonna walk the street,
check out the bars.
Bar hopping, baby!
Taylor's like, "Great!"
-I'm sorry.
-I'll stay back with Taylor.
Taylor can't go to the bar,
so I'm gonna hang with her.
She's pregnant,
I don't want her to be alone.
And I feel like this might be
my only chance to tell her
about the confession I received
about Dakota sleeping with someone else.
You're a true friend.
Of course.
I know some of us aren't,
-but you know?
-Oh! Throwing shade.
- Bye, love you.
- We'll be back so soon.
- I'm gonna go get wasted. Woo-hoo!
- Have fun.
Where are you going?
- I'm waiting with Taylor.
- No!
- My girl!
- You're gonna miss me?
Ooh-woo!
I'll meet you in there later.
Ooh!
Let's just look and find a cute,
little spot to chill or something fun.
"Enter the puss"?
Definitely not in Utah anymore.
Look how cute the fireplace is.
-Wait, is that where we're going?
-Yeah.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
- Like what?
- I don't know, you did like
-What?
-What?
I don't know, I could just tell,
like, your faces are off.
I feel like I need to tell you something.
Ugh, I didn't wanna bring it up.
But then, like, you had that fight
when I was there at the house
and I was like, "Well, maybe
my gut is telling me something
and I need to show it to her."
But I didn't wanna upset you, and then
I feel horrible even telling you now
- 'cause you're about to give birth.
- Yeah.
But I feel like if it were me,
I would wanna know
and I feel like you'd probably wanna
know the more I think about it.
And so, long story short, like,
you know I do my, like,
Confession Sundays or whatever,
-like, the Sinner Sundays.
-Yeah.
Someone sent in
a confession about Dakota.
Taylor and I have been friends for years.
And so, that's why I care so much
to tell her these things.
If I was in her situation,
I would wanna know.
The only thing that still makes me
worried about telling her
is the fact that she's gonna have
a baby any day.
I don't wanna put her into labor.
-You want me to read it to you?
-Yeah.
They said,
"I accidentally slept with Dakota
"before I knew
he and Taylor were together.
"And I only met Taylor once
and I'm terrified to tell her,
but I feel like
she has a right to know. Help."
"I accidentally slept with Dakota"?
"I accidentally slept with Dakota"?
- That's where-- Yeah.
- Well, that's what I don't know
what that means.
I'm in shock.
I don't know what to think.
This is exactly what I've been
afraid of this whole time.
You're telling me you love me
and you're goin' to F another bitch,
-I don't want you.
-No, yeah.
In my mind, I would like
to think that this isn't true,
but at the same time I'm in my head, like,
this could be true because
of things that have happened.
So, I don't know what to think.
I'm just so tired.
I'm like, at this point, if it is, like,
I am done with you, buddy, like 101%.
I don't care that I'm having his kid,
I will leave him in a heartbeat.
There would be no question for me. "Bye."
- Ahh!
- Hey, guys.
-She's freaking alive!
-Hi.
Jennifer. Hi.
It was definitely a hard night with Zac.
We talked everything out,
and he ended up apologizing.
So, I'm meeting up with the girls
to let them know that we,
for the most part,
have figured everything out.
-Has there been drama?
-No, it was fun.
- Really?
- Dinner was so fun, yeah.
Like, the whole day today has been fine?
Yeah.
It seems weird that
it's when you and Whitney are away.
Shut up.
I'm shocked that Zac let Jen
out of his sight tonight.
Oh, hello!
- Oh, my God, hi!
- Oh, Jenny's here.
Oh, my gosh, Jen.
I really don't know what version of Jen
I'm gonna get.
And as scared as I am of Zac,
I'm a little bit nervous of Jen right now
because depending on the day
and the conversations that
she just came from with Zac,
we get a little bit
of a different version of her.
And I don't think
she's fully comprehending
how serious this situation is right now.
What did, what did I miss?
What've you guys been up to?
-Oh, not much. Just a little girly chat.
-Just a little chatty chitchat.
-Has it been a long day for you too?
-Yeah, it's been a really long day.
I'm so curious what
you've been dealing with all day.
Oh, gosh.
I don't even know where to start.
Um, obviously, you guys saw that--
saw how upset Zac was last night and--
Um, yes.
And you know what?
He knows he's in the wrong.
And all I know is, like,
we argued and a lot happened,
but at the end of it, like, yes, he has,
like, these narcissistic traits about him
and, like, they come out
in, like, situations like this,
like, every few months.
But, like, who's to say in another
marriage that won't be the same thing?
The conversation Zac and I had
had in that hotel room
was probably one of, like,
the hardest conversations
I've ever had with him.
We spent that whole night
talking about everything.
And he definitely feels really, really bad
about how he treated me,
and honestly, how he handled
the whole situation.
I do feel like the good outweighs the bad.
I truly feel like I've never met someone
who loves me more than him.
And I-I honestly don't feel like--
- But, Jen, you got married at, like, 20!
- 100%. But--
It's kind of the theme
with our church, though,
and, like, kind of what the problem is.
Is everyone's getting married
before their brains even develop.
So, we don't want you to feel trapped
because you're not
just because you have kids with him.
Like, that's such a taboo thing
that's out the window.
You should be safe, happy, loved,
supported in all the things.
You deserve that.
The more I learn about Zac, I do think
he falls into a stereotypical Mormon.
He makes the decisions,
he dominates the relationship,
and he calls the shots.
And I think he would be perfectly happy
if Jen followed his every move
and didn't have a personality of her own.
All of us are disgusted with Zac.
I think he's disgusting.
And I have no problem saying that.
I know you all agree,
so please back me up.
Well, it's because we love you.
And we don't wanna see--
This-- Like, this frustration
is not towards you.
This is, "Jen, you've done
jack shit to the man."
Nothing but support him,
nothing but love him,
nothing but be there for him,
and that's how you got treated.
That's narcissistic.
It's crazy.
This is a serious thing.
It's definitely hard hearing them
bash on Zac.
I feel very defeated
because to hear all my friends validate
a lot of the emotions I've had,
like, man, like, is this a deal-breaker?
He was so fucking pissed over nothing.
So, this is passion for you.
We know it's a normal thing for you,
and that's what's sad.
'Cause you wouldn't have gotten over it
that fast if it's not something
that happens a lot.
I literally agree with you.
I'm not, I'm not disagreeing with you.
I, I clearly see it.
Wasn't 'til I started vocalizing
my opinion, until I started providing,
until I had kids that I realized,
"Oh, shoot, like, I do have a voice
and I do need to speak up."
And now that it's happening,
he hasn't seen this side of me
throughout our whole marriage
and it's now just coming out.
So, this is us working through it,
and it's bringing out
this narcissistic side of him
because he feels like
he doesn't have control.
And so, that's just everything
we're working through.
To be honest, like,
I love him so much that I'm--
And I love my kids so much and--
And do you think it's okay
for your kids to learn this behavior?
-Do you want Nora being treated this way?
-Not,
-not at all.
-Do you want Luca to treat a woman
this way?
Because that's the track
-you're on.
-Not at all.
And you're going to show them
that it's okay to stay in that.
And when they're older,
they will see it.
I'm not kidding.
It's not gonna get better, Jen.
He's not gonna change.
You know, like, the percentages of,
like, narcissists being able to change?
Like, it's pretty much zero.
We all love you
and like they said, I know
I'm coming off really strong right now.
It's just 'cause I feel like
you deserve so much better
and I want you to know
I'm always Team Jen.
I am 1,000% not Team Zac
for also the stuff he said about all of
our marriages last night in those texts.
And I think we have a right to be pissed,
and I never wanna be
in the same room as him.
The stuff he said about me--
Are you fucking kidding me?
That you know is not true.
He knows isn't true.
I cheated on my ex-husband?
Where'd he hear it?
The stuff he said
about Mayci flirting with my husband,
and how Layla's single,
she's married to a 50-year-old--
Like, so disrespectful
to all of your friends
when we've done nothing to you,
but support and love you
when he treats you like shit.
'Cause you can't see it when you're in it.
You notice that there's patterns,
but it's almost like
you're not adding it up.
- It's okay. I know it's hard.
- Jenny, I'm sorry.
This type of behavior
is exactly what MomTok is trying
to break in our LDS faith.
We're not doing this anymore.
Like, we don't need to look or act,

how Zac tries to control Jen,
that will never be okay with me.
And I really want
to confront Dakota about it
and shut it down.
- In his thoughts, you know?
- Do you wanna go see him?
I don't think I'll be able to sleep
unless I, like, talk to him about it.
I don't want to see Dakota,
but I wanna sleep alone.
I mean, I'm not apologizing
for anything, but.
You did what you're supposed to,
you came home.
There's nothing else you could've done.
♪♪
- Good morning.
- Hello.
- My eyes are, like, half closed.
- Yeah.
The only thing going
is just the way--
I love these little cherries.
They're so cute.
Woo, baby!
- Woo!
- Woo. Woo-woo-woo!
Put that belly away!
I am extremely pregnant.
I'm frustrated, I'm exhausted,
and I'm tired.
Dakota and I haven't talked
since last night
and, honestly, like,
I am done taking shit.
Oh, you're gonna die.
Tell 'em what happened.
Last night,
Jen left the house at 2:00 a.m.
This is her for literally two hours.
- Oh, no.
- Oh.
Just texting, texting.
I'm like, "Why don't you call him?"
"He won't talk to me."
"Why don't you go see him?"
"He doesn't wanna see me. He's done."
Zac is the biggest narcissist.
- Oh, no.
- The things he was saying, guys!
- What?
- She had me read their entire thread
and I'm so glad I did because
it literally was
10 times worse than I can imagine.
"I'm fucking done, Jen.
I'm done with you.
I'm done with our marriage.
I'm done. You're disgusting."
- "I don't love you."
- Yeah.
No!
Zac was essentially
just playing games with Jen.
And she kept saying,
"Can we get on a phone call?
Can we talk? Can I come see you?"
He literally just said,
"This is where I am,
come right now
or, or I'm not talking to you."
He's threatening to take the kids,
he's threatening to move home
to his mom's house.
It's giving crazy.
Clearly, she's upset.
She left at 2:00 in the morning in Vegas
and then I never heard from her again.
You can't take those words back;
even if they work through this,
she's always gonna
have that in her head.
This is gonna damage her
the rest of her life.
Zac texts Jen and he was like,
"The fact that you would even put yourself
in this situation, Jen."
She's like, "I didn't know!"
She said,
"Everyone else's husbands are like,
"'Have a good time.
I love you. I trust you.'
"I thought that there would be
some sort of response
in that vicinity knowing our history."
And he goes, "Stop bringing up
other couples that I would
wanna be nothing like."
He's like,
"Jess cheated on her ex-husband."
Which is not true.
I'm like, "Where did you get that?"
"Mayci and Jacob are a joke."
Um, "she walks all over him, he's, he--"
No, literally!
"Demi, divorced
and married to a 50-year-old."
What?
But he is, like, trying
to come off like he is this alpha
and I'm like, "You look like
the biggest baby bitch right now."
No, truly.
I had an idea
of how controlling Zac could be,
but I really had no idea it was this bad
until hearing and seeing
all the text messages.
And I don't know
if it's a matter of trust,
I don't know if it's a matter
of, like, these men being in the church
and maybe seeing the traditional values,
I'm not quite sure.
But as MomTok,
we all rally around each other.
We see that this behavior is not okay
and it's not normal.
She's like, "What would--
What would you do? What would you--"
And I'm like, "This isn't the Jen
that I see that's fierce
and, like, confident and--"
He sucks the life out of her.
Like, she's like a ray of sunshine
and he, like, dims it.
Ew! Ew, ew, ew!
Hi.
What are you doing?
I'm at a go-karting place.
Oh, fun! Who you with?
- By myself.
- Why are you by yourself?
Zac just, like, uh, bounced.
I-I don't know,
I don't know what's going on.
I can't, like--
He, like, texted me last night, but--
What'd he say?
Uh, that he was just
going back to his room.
And that was the last I heard of him.
Well, Jen, Jen went over there last night.
- Oh, she did?
- Yeah, I felt bad.
She didn't leave here, though,
'til, like, I think, 2:00 a.m.
Well, yeah, I think he gambled
'til, like, probably 1:30 or 2:00, so.
So, Zac was gambling 'til 1:30 a.m.?
Oh, shit.
Wait, why? Was I not supposed
to say that or something?
I think Zac's gambling is bad.
Jen told me that
his family gave him a chunk of money
to help them through medical school
and kind of ease the burden
and he blew right through it.
I don't even know what's going on.
Jen was, like, crying
'cause she was like--
he was making her feel like
she did something super wrong.
Like, 'cause we went in there,
we met them and stuff and, like, we--
Obviously, Jen was--
- Yeah.
- Oh, you didn't tell me that.
Well, I'm telling you that right now.
Well, why didn't
you tell me that last night?
We haven't talked at all,
so where would I have told you that?
Last night.
I'm telling you right now,
so what's the issue?
The fact that
you didn't tell me that last night--
I didn't--
Okay, I didn't tell you last night.
But I'm telling you right now.
So, where is the issue?
Dakota is so mad that Taylor
went backstage and met these dancers.
I think when men get upset
about this kinda thing,
it really shows that they have
a lot of insecurities.
And it makes me feel like
he's hiding something.
Like, there's something off about that.
And now I got this confession
about Dakota.
I feel like this easily could be true.
And I feel like we need
to get to the bottom of it.
Why'd you call me again?
- I don't know. Just checking in.
- Yeah, okay.
Cool.
- Did you hang up on him?
- Yeah. Why'd he call me?
I do know for a fact
Dakota and I do trigger each other.
I don't know if he's intentionally picking
fights because I won't commit to him.
I do feel like, as time goes on,
he gets more frustrated,
which always causes fights.
It's just-- It's frustrating.
Taylor!

I admit I am wild,
but I confess I like your smile ♪
I'm paranoid you'll leave me riled ♪
Jen's gone.
She's not answering any of our texts.
And, of course, I'm worried about her
because I feel responsible.
Chippendales is supposed
to be a fun place.
And hearing what Dakota and Zac's
reactions were,
I would like to say that I'm shocked,
but I'm not.
Zac is the typical LDS husband
who expects perfection from his wife
even if it's hypocritical
because he makes mistakes too.
And that makes me
really sad because I don't think
she did anything wrong.
Food's here.
I'm-- I just feel like
I'm so sick of men ruining our trips!
I know!
-Gosh!
-Screw the men.
-I just think it's the silliest thing.
-It's all insecurity.
It's just so silly.
Like, why are we acting like
little toddlers running around?
The men have caused more drama
in this group than the women have,
I feel like, at this point.
-Like, it's kinda weird.
-Eh, I wouldn't say that.
I don't know about that.
You're-- I think you're a little bit, um,
rose-colored glasses without Whitney here.
Oh, true that! I keep forgetting
she's a part of our group.
Still pretending she's not.
- If she wasn't here, then for sure--
- Pretending she's not.
She's not part of my group.
And I will say,
she's always been impulsive,
but I've never seen her this impulsive.
Lately, very hot and cold,
and she's getting angry easily,
and crying easily.
I'm like, "Are you okay?"
I haven't given up on Whitney
being part of MomTok.
I know everyone else has
and they're having these conversations,
but I still feel like there's a chance
that she could come back,
apologize for the things
that she's done to the group.
-You guys know where Whitney is?
-Oh, is Whitney not here yet?
-She's not coming.
-What do you mean?
She unfollowed all of us.
No!
Demi, I have a gift for you, though.
Oh. Shut up!
- Fruity Pebbles.
- I'm dead.
So dumb.
But the one thing I will say
is this trip has been
a bit more peaceful without her there
'cause I don't have to be going
back and forth between the friends.
It almost seems like sometimes
she can't control her emotions
until, like, a little bit later.
I'm like, "Whit, like, calm down." Like--
I think angry-wise,
she's never been this angry.
She's always been this impulsive.
She's always been this back and forth--
I truly don't know
if she's capable of true friendship.
Until I can see that
there is some reciprocation there
and, like, some actual acknowledgment
of, like, her part in things,
I am taking 20 steps back.
100%. Me too.

We've got three bowls.

I can help you.
I just got off the phone with Jordan.
You're not gonna believe what he told me.
What?
I know you're trying
to, like, avoid the drama,
so you want me
to tell you what's going on?
I mean, yeah. What?
Everybody went to Vegas.
But I guess Dakota and Zac also went down.
Dakota didn't wanna go down alone
because he's an ex-addict
without having someone
there to support him.
And I guess last night,
the girls decided to go to, like, a show.
Fun.
And they decided to do Chippendales.
According to Jordan,
the girls got, like, VIP access.
So, they got to go, like, backstage
and, like, help oil up the guys.
Zac and Dakota were pissed off.
Zac blows up on Jen.
Calls her terrible names,
according to, according to Jordan,
like "a terrible mother".
He started threatening,
threatening Jen with divorce.
Said, "I want a divorce.
My stuff's gonna be
out of the house by tomorrow."
-Like, "You have no values."
-What?
Do you think he's being serious?
I don't know and I don't care.
It's not my marriage.
I'm just saying.
I could see where he's coming from
because I don't think she's a good friend.
I think it's fair to say
what happens in Vegas
doesn't always stay in Vegas.
I made the right choice
to not attend that event.
So far in this MomTok group, honestly,
Mayci's really my only friend.
Nobody's talking to me.
Nobody's reaching out to me.
That's totally fine.
But Mayci's definitely my only girl
right now.
I, like, can't relate with these women.
I don't wanna be around those women
because every s--
'cause of what's happening
- every single time I'm around you.
- Yeah.
Don't feel safe.
I leave feeling horrible about myself
when I'm trying to get better.
Why would I wanna be
around people like that?
It takes a lot of confidence
and a lot of courage
to make the decision you made to,
you know, to say, "You know what, like,
I need to create this boundary for myself
to protect my emotions, to protect
how I feel, to protect my mental state."
I love what MomTok stands for.
And I feel like I've already done
so much for this platform
that I can continue to do so much,
but I don't know if it's-- if I wanna
do it with this group of women.
The easy decision
would've just been to go.
I mean, I'd be lying if I said
I didn't have a bit of FOMO, for sure.
- But also--
- After hearing all this,
-did it go away?
-Absolutely.
MomTok's not what it was.

Even though we won, that point
didn't count 'cause we weren't serving.
The vibes are just off, and I feel like
we need to blow off some steam.
But Jen is missing and I'm worried.
I mean, maybe I watch too much true crime,
but I feel like you
hear these stories a lot.
And I'm not saying that Zac would do that,
but at this point, my mind's in circles.
I feel like anything can happen,
especially 'cause she's MIA,
she's not answering her phone.
There you go.
It did!
-Woo!
-Woo!
That's game, baby!
Oh, you're not supposed to smack 'em!
Gonna break 'em!

like, a photo of Jen and tagged her.

"Jen, where are you at?"
"Jen, answer the phone."
No, I should post it, "Last seen."
- Sending out a missing person--
- Missing person alert.
Wait, Jen just text me.
- What?
- No, she didn't!
- What did she say?
- She said, "We were up all night, dude.
It was the hardest conversation
I've ever had with him."
What does that mean?
I mean, I'm sure she'll tell us later.
We're so impatient.
"Well, what does it mean?"
Is your last name,
is your last name still Affleck or not?
What'd you say, Demi?
I said, "Holy shit, dude.
I'm so glad you're okay.
Was legitimately worried.
I wanna hear it all. How did it end?"
I'm just gonna be kind of
annoyed if she comes tonight
and she, like, drags down the mood.
Or she's like, "You guys, it's
all fine, like, he-he respects me now."
'Cause she does that a lot
where she's like, "No, he understands."
And I'm like, "No, he doesn't."
Jen and I, we do share different
religious views, which can be hard,
but I feel like Zac
is the exact type of person
that I have a problem with in the church.
Jen likes to tell me
that Zac is protective,
but I prefer to say controlling.
It really saddens me that she's been
living with this for so long
and she hasn't confided in us
as her friends.

And that's why it's--
And I feel I have trust issues with
everyone because of what I've done, one.
Those stay with you.
And then not only that,
I saw so many lies from other people.
It's, it's just so hard.
I came into this relationship where
you did show me
a completely different you.
You were extremely loving to me.
You extremely reassuring to me.
You were extremely in this

got worse and worse for you.

She deserves to know the truth.
But I am worried because we're days away
from her having a baby.
We're in Vegas in an Airbnb.
I don't want her giving birth
in our Airbnb.
I won't be able to catch that baby,
so we need someone else to do it.
We're both very broken

I don't know how two
broken people that are drowning

Right now, I feel very fed up.
I think I'm just, one, so exhausted,
I'm so pregnant.
Just let me have this time, deliver,

we can discuss these things.
But right now, you see me struggling
all day, every day.
Maybe keep your mouth shut

Think they're gonna come
to some sorta resolution I hope, at least.
And then I'm like,
"By the way, look what I got!"
You know what I mean?

-Yeah.
So, I guess Jen's not coming.
So, I heard they were talking.
Did they amend things?
Like, I'm curious what they did all day.
What bugs me is Zac making Jen
feel guilty, like this bad person,
for showing up to a surprise
we didn't have any idea that was going on.
He went out and did
his thing he's not proud of,
gambling, it's frowned upon
in our religion.
I know that that's, like,
a hidden, little secret of his,
but I just feel like she's enabling it
with, like, letting him gamble and stuff.
That, to me, is very confusing,
and hypocritical, and not fair.
Are you gonna say
something to her about it?
-I-I kinda want to.
-I'm like, "I'll leave that up to you
'cause I made a promise
not to say anything."
No, but I, I was gonna

where you guys were at
and if you guys ordered already.
- Um--
- We just got our food.
Are things okay with you and Zac?
Oh, things are great.
Oh, my gosh, it-it was honestly so needed.
Jen finally calls us back
and she just sounds so different
on the phone.
Like, it needed to happen.
Like, it does not sound like her.
It almost sounds like
she has a gun to her head
and she's like,
"Everything's wonderful.
Everything's perfect. I'm so happy. Hm."
And yet, she's, like, dying inside
and, like, sweating.
'Cause the way you-you left in an Uber
at 2:00 a.m., I am freaking confused.
I feel like Zac dims Jen's light.
Feels like she can't even say
what she means
because she's so worried
about his opinion and what he thinks.
And this is pretty much
the opposite, like,
everything we stand for
as a group at MomTok.
We're about, like, empowering women,
about being strong,
and standing up for ourselves.
And that's how Jen is
until she's with her husband.
Okay, love you.
- Love you, bye.
- Bye.
She's on speaker.
She's like, "It went great."
- "It's all fine. Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
- Yeah, I know. It's like,
-"It went fabulous."
-It's creepy.
You guys, I was in this relationship.
Like, I know, like--
My ex-husband was just like this.

I will not be able to hold myself back.
I-It's always the nicest guys, like
Ted Bundy.
Like, not to say he's gonna do that
but, like, people say he--
that he's a charmer
and he was, like, very charismatic.
Because he has to know
how to draw people in.

owns all the bars on the street.

check out the bars.

-I'm sorry.
-I'll stay back with Taylor.
Taylor can't go to the bar,
so I'm gonna hang with her.

my only chance to tell her
about the confession I received
about Dakota sleeping with someone else.
You're a true friend.
Of course.
I know some of us aren't,
-but you know?
-Oh! Throwing shade.

little spot to chill or something fun.

Definitely not in Utah anymore.
Look how cute the fireplace is.
-Wait, is that where we're going?
-Yeah.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
- Like what?
- I don't know, you did like
-What?
-What?
I don't know, I could just tell,
like, your faces are off.
I feel like I need to tell you something.
Ugh, I didn't wanna bring it up.
But then, like, you had that fight
when I was there at the house
and I was like, "Well, maybe
my gut is telling me something
and I need to show it to her."
But I didn't wanna upset you, and then
I feel horrible even telling you now
- 'cause you're about to give birth.
- Yeah.
But I feel like if it were me,
I would wanna know
and I feel like you'd probably wanna
know the more I think about it.
And so, long story short, like,
you know I do my, like,
Confession Sundays or whatever,
-like, the Sinner Sundays.
-Yeah.
Someone sent in
a confession about Dakota.
Taylor and I have been friends for years.
And so, that's why I care so much
to tell her these things.
If I was in her situation,
I would wanna know.
The only thing that still makes me
worried about telling her
is the fact that she's gonna have
a baby any day.
I don't wanna put her into labor.
-You want me to read it to you?
-Yeah.
They said,
"I accidentally slept with Dakota
"before I knew
he and Taylor were together.
"And I only met Taylor once
and I'm terrified to tell her,
but I feel like
she has a right to know. Help."
"I accidentally slept with Dakota"?
"I accidentally slept with Dakota"?
- That's where-- Yeah.
- Well, that's what I don't know
what that means.
I'm in shock.
I don't know what to think.
This is exactly what I've been
afraid of this whole time.
You're telling me you love me
and you're goin' to F another bitch,
-I don't want you.
-No, yeah.
In my mind, I would like
to think that this isn't true,
but at the same time I'm in my head, like,
this could be true because
of things that have happened.
So, I don't know what to think.
I'm just so tired.
I'm like, at this point, if it is, like,
I am done with you, buddy, like 101%.
I don't care that I'm having his kid,
I will leave him in a heartbeat.
There would be no question for me. "Bye."
- Ahh!
- Hey, guys.
-She's freaking alive!
-Hi.
Jennifer. Hi.
It was definitely a hard night with Zac.
We talked everything out,
and he ended up apologizing.
So, I'm meeting up with the girls
to let them know that we,
for the most part,
have figured everything out.
-Has there been drama?
-No, it was fun.
- Really?
- Dinner was so fun, yeah.
Like, the whole day today has been fine?
Yeah.
It seems weird that
it's when you and Whitney are away.
Shut up.
I'm shocked that Zac let Jen
out of his sight tonight.
Oh, hello!
- Oh, my God, hi!
- Oh, Jenny's here.
Oh, my gosh, Jen.
I really don't know what version of Jen
I'm gonna get.
And as scared as I am of Zac,
I'm a little bit nervous of Jen right now
because depending on the day
and the conversations that
she just came from with Zac,
we get a little bit
of a different version of her.
And I don't think
she's fully comprehending
how serious this situation is right now.
What did, what did I miss?
What've you guys been up to?
-Oh, not much. Just a little girly chat.
-Just a little chatty chitchat.
-Has it been a long day for you too?
-Yeah, it's been a really long day.
I'm so curious what
you've been dealing with all day.
Oh, gosh.
I don't even know where to start.
Um, obviously, you guys saw that--
saw how upset Zac was last night and--
Um, yes.
And you know what?
He knows he's in the wrong.
And all I know is, like,
we argued and a lot happened,
but at the end of it, like, yes, he has,
like, these narcissistic traits about him
and, like, they come out
in, like, situations like this,
like, every few months.
But, like, who's to say in another
marriage that won't be the same thing?
The conversation Zac and I had
had in that hotel room
was probably one of, like,
the hardest conversations
I've ever had with him.
We spent that whole night
talking about everything.
And he definitely feels really, really bad
about how he treated me,
and honestly, how he handled
the whole situation.
I do feel like the good outweighs the bad.
I truly feel like I've never met someone
who loves me more than him.
And I-I honestly don't feel like--
- But, Jen, you got married at, like, 20!
- 100%. But--
It's kind of the theme
with our church, though,
and, like, kind of what the problem is.
Is everyone's getting married
before their brains even develop.
So, we don't want you to feel trapped
because you're not
just because you have kids with him.
Like, that's such a taboo thing
that's out the window.
You should be safe, happy, loved,
supported in all the things.
You deserve that.
The more I learn about Zac, I do think
he falls into a stereotypical Mormon.
He makes the decisions,
he dominates the relationship,
and he calls the shots.
And I think he would be perfectly happy
if Jen followed his every move
and didn't have a personality of her own.
All of us are disgusted with Zac.
I think he's disgusting.
And I have no problem saying that.
I know you all agree,
so please back me up.
Well, it's because we love you.
And we don't wanna see--
This-- Like, this frustration
is not towards you.
This is, "Jen, you've done
jack shit to the man."
Nothing but support him,
nothing but love him,
nothing but be there for him,
and that's how you got treated.
That's narcissistic.
It's crazy.
This is a serious thing.
It's definitely hard hearing them
bash on Zac.
I feel very defeated
because to hear all my friends validate
a lot of the emotions I've had,
like, man, like, is this a deal-breaker?
He was so fucking pissed over nothing.
So, this is passion for you.
We know it's a normal thing for you,
and that's what's sad.
'Cause you wouldn't have gotten over it
that fast if it's not something
that happens a lot.
I literally agree with you.
I'm not, I'm not disagreeing with you.
I, I clearly see it.
Wasn't 'til I started vocalizing
my opinion, until I started providing,
until I had kids that I realized,
"Oh, shoot, like, I do have a voice
and I do need to speak up."
And now that it's happening,
he hasn't seen this side of me
throughout our whole marriage
and it's now just coming out.
So, this is us working through it,
and it's bringing out
this narcissistic side of him
because he feels like
he doesn't have control.
And so, that's just everything
we're working through.
To be honest, like,
I love him so much that I'm--
And I love my kids so much and--
And do you think it's okay
for your kids to learn this behavior?
-Do you want Nora being treated this way?
-Not,
-not at all.
-Do you want Luca to treat a woman
this way?
Because that's the track
-you're on.
-Not at all.
And you're going to show them
that it's okay to stay in that.
And when they're older,
they will see it.
I'm not kidding.
It's not gonna get better, Jen.
He's not gonna change.
You know, like, the percentages of,
like, narcissists being able to change?
Like, it's pretty much zero.
We all love you
and like they said, I know
I'm coming off really strong right now.
It's just 'cause I feel like
you deserve so much better
and I want you to know
I'm always Team Jen.
I am 1,000% not Team Zac
for also the stuff he said about all of
our marriages last night in those texts.
And I think we have a right to be pissed,
and I never wanna be
in the same room as him.
The stuff he said about me--
Are you fucking kidding me?
That you know is not true.
He knows isn't true.
I cheated on my ex-husband?
Where'd he hear it?
The stuff he said
about Mayci flirting with my husband,
and how Layla's single,
she's married to a 50-year-old--
Like, so disrespectful
to all of your friends
when we've done nothing to you,
but support and love you
when he treats you like shit.
'Cause you can't see it when you're in it.
You notice that there's patterns,
but it's almost like
you're not adding it up.
- It's okay. I know it's hard.
- Jenny, I'm sorry.
This type of behavior
is exactly what MomTok is trying
to break in our LDS faith.
We're not doing this anymore.
Like, we don't need to look or act,
or be a certain way
to be the "perfect wife".
Feel like we have to go easy on her
'cause it's hard to hear.
This is why the sisterhood
of MomTok was created in the first place.
We don't want anyone to feel alone.
And to have that support
that a lot of women don't have.
♪♪
MomTok, that is important to me.
♪♪
I don't really care.
Mayci got this DM I think a while back.
- And it's about me?
- Yes.
Whitney hasn't shown up yet.
If Whitney doesn't walk through that door,
-we all unfollow her on social media.
-Yes.
What in the literal fuck?
What the hell is she doing here?
-I mean, you and Mikayla aren't friends.
-Mikayla doesn't like you.
I don't think that
MomTok is as important as I thought.
This is not good.
You are sabotaging us.
I'm the one who truly cares about Taylor.
