While Hulu's Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has paused production following a resurfaced domestic violence incident involving cast member Taylor Frankie Paul, castmate Whitney Leavitt says she's unsure of what's next for the show.
"I don’t know what that future looks like, especially right now," she said in a Q+A with Interview magazine out Wednesday.
As for accusations against Paul, and the footage that has been released involving her estranged partner Dakota Mortensen and their daughter, Leavitt didn't weigh in too much but still condemned the behavior.
"I have a lot of emotions about it and I’m still processing everything that’s happening, but the safety of human beings, especially children, comes first," she said. "Always, period, the end. And I don’t want that to be tolerated. I don’t want that to be overlooked. It’s just so fresh. That’s all I have to say about that."

Leavitt, who is currently on Broadway in 'Chicago: The Musical' as Roxie Hart recently celebrated the fact that the show had its highest grossing period in its 29-year history during her stint on stage. While she was initially slated to end her Broadway run mid-March, her time as the show's main star was extended to the beginning of April. However, the Dancing with the Stars alum announced recently that she'll be staying on for a few more weeks as her DWTS partner, Mark Ballas, will join the cast alongside her as Billy Flynn.

The mom-of-three has starred on SLOMW since its premiere in 2024. Leavitt, at times, has been framed as a villain due to her rocky relationships with her fellow cast mates and most recently found herself in hot water with the ladies as she admitted she came back for the show's fourth season to land a spot on DWTS. Reflecting on that drama now, Leavitt says it was worth it as she made it to the semi-finals on the competition and landed a history-making Broadway role.
"It’s definitely validating, she said. "I’d be lying if I didn’t say it feels good."
As for what's next for the now multi-hyphenate? The 32-year-old mentioned she loves Traitors but ultimately said, "I want to be a movie star, baby."
Fortunately, she's off to a great start as she announced last year she'll be starring in a holiday-themed rom-com for the 2026 season. ? SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox ?
