- Whitney Leavitt dodges questions about Jen Affleck after Tuesday night’s Dancing With the Stars‘ live show.
- Jen said last week that she would not be rooting for Whitney to win, despite the fact that they are both in MomTok.
- Other members of MomTok were in the audience to support Whitney on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Another week, another dance for Whitney Leavitt, who officially made it to the semi-finals on Dancing With the Stars. Going into the final few weeks, she’s going to need every vote she can to win—especially since she’s already lost one vote. After Tuesday night’s live show, Whitney dodged questions about Jen Affleck, her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives co-star, seemingly confirming that the two are not on good terms.
Fans will remember that Jen was eliminated from DWTS last week, and after the show, she went on TikTok live and revealed that she wouldn’t be voting for Whitney to win the season. (She threw her support behind Robert Irwin and Andy Richter instead.) Whitney didn’t respond at the time, and when asked about it on Tuesday night, she didn’t exactly give a straight answer.
“Yeah, I mean, I’m trying not to focus on that. Just trying to focus on all the people that are supporting us because I’m so grateful for them,” she told E! News after the live show. “It motivates us, it keeps us going. So, thank you.”
Whitney might not be getting any votes from Jen, but she does still have a lot of support form MomTok. Layla Taylor, Demi Engemann, Mikayla Matthews, Jessi Ngatikaura, and Mayci Neeley all made Instagram story posts supporting Whitney on Tuesday. Layla, Demi, Mayci, and Jessi were also there in person to cheer her on.

Whitney’s status with the MomTok group is currently unclear. Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives ended with Whitney being voted back into the group, but during her TikTok live last week, Jen referred to her as a “former MomTok person.”
So is this feud just between Whitney and Jen, or is it part of a bigger issue? Based on these Instagram stories, it looks like she’s on good terms with pretty much everyone in MomTok. But looks can be deceiving. What appears as friendship could just be promo for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3, after all.
