Taylor is poised to return to The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives for its sixth season with the full support of ABC and Disney behind her, according to Page Six. Mikayla said: “I made my decision over a week ago, after hearing some news, that I will not be continuing the show at this moment. “I’ve said from the beginning of this that I’m not comfortable being a part of something that continues to platform behavior I don’t agree especially given my own experience growing up in a home with multiple forms of abuse. “There’s no amount of money worth going against my morals or changing the stance I’ve had since I first saw and heard the things that made me feel this strongly. “And for me personally, continuing to directly profit from this behavior feels wrong and unethical. It feels like a disservice to the children, everyone’s healing and the millions of people watching.” “This show has been a huge part of my life and has helped me provide for my family. I’m so grateful for the experience, and will continue sharing my story, my health and advocating for myself and others this shouldn’t be “relatable” or entertainment in anyway,” continued Mikayla.
