Miranda McWhorter Opens Up About Life After Swinging Scandal on Podcast

Miranda McWhorter from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” opened up about the emotional chaos following the “soft-swinging scandal.” She shared that her postpartum experience was hazy due to the drama’s aftereffects. Despite clarifying misconceptions about swinging, Miranda emphasised that it wasn’t the reason for her marriage breakdown. The show’s second season hits Hulu on May 15.
Miranda McWhorter, a fresh face on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” spilled some serious tea about her rollercoaster life after the notorious “soft-swinging scandal.” In a heartfelt chat on the podcast “The Viall Files,” the 27-year-old recalled feeling completely dazed during her daughter Cohen’s first year. “I feel, like, the first months… of my daughter’s life was, like, kind of a blur,” she said. Cue the tears!
Miranda, who’s mum to Cohen and 6-year-old Brooks, reflected on how the swinging drama overshadowed pivotal moments in her life. The scandal, sparked by her former best mate Taylor Frankie Paul in 2020, exposed their tight-knit group who had a popular yet messy entanglement. “I was just so disassociated,” she confessed, adding, “I don’t feel like I was fully myself and, in turn, I wasn’t fully a present mother.”
As for the juicy details, Taylor, now 30, hinted at intimacy with her friends before her split from husband Tate Paul. Miranda and her ex, Chase, initially shot down any scandalous claims, but things took a twist leading to their ultimate breakup. “It was never, like, conversations that led to this. We were already hanging out… or maybe one of the guys would dare me and Taylor to kiss,” Miranda explained, sharing how such playful dares escalated.
In her world of ups and downs, Miranda clarified that actual “swinging parties” weren’t her cup of tea. “The most we did was have sex together while another couple did the same in another corner of the room,” she clarified, sounding like her firm stance was absolute. “I was very, very firm with the things… I was not interested in doing.”
Moreover, the scandal didn’t actually cause her marriage to crumble. “I don’t think that played a role in the slightest… There were other issues that led to it being more of an OK thing in our mind at the time,” Miranda disclosed, coupling her thoughts with reflection on a “faith crisis” she faced being Mormon. Communication with Chase clearly had its hiccups too.
“I feel, like, our communication wasn’t great a lot of the time,” she said. On the flip side, Chase is described as an emotional, passionate dad – a silver lining in their coparenting. Miranda said, “He’s very supportive and one of the biggest hype men you’ll ever meet.” It seems he’s been there for her in this journey as well, especially around her newest venture with the show.
Despite an offer to join the debut season, Miranda passed on it. “I tossed the idea back and forth… it wasn’t a good fit,” she said about her decision, admitting that being in the midst of marital strife wasn’t something she wanted airing on TV. Reality TV doesn’t always play nice with relationships, after all.
With all the drama simmering, the second season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is set to hit Hulu on May 15, so brace yourselves, folks! Things are bound to get interesting!
In summary, Miranda McWhorter candidly expressed the overwhelming impact of the swinging scandal on her early motherhood and marriage. She shared her struggles during a vulnerable moment on a podcast, clarifying misconceptions about her lifestyle choices. Despite the tempestuous past, it seems she and her ex, Chase, are working towards a supportive coparenting dynamic. Plus, fans can catch more drama when the second season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” drops on Hulu soon!
