LA Post: MomTok community shocked by ‘soft-swinging’ Scandal

Salt Lake City - A popular TikTok creator known as part of the "MomTok" community has revealed details about a "soft-swinging" scandal that led to her divorce and rocked the social media group. Taylor Frankie Paul, a Mormon influencer with a large following on TikTok, discussed the events surrounding her 2022 divorce from her husband, Tate Paul, in Hulu's new documentary series "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." "I got on a TikTok live," Paul says in the series. "I, at least, wanted to explain that to people. My husband wanted to share. He did want to open that up. So it's like, I caught feelings for a man that my husband welcomed into our house." According to Paul, she and her then-husband, Tate Paul, were part of a group of couples who engaged in "soft-swinging" activities for over a year. These activities included intimate encounters with other couples at cabin parties and in shared beds. "We do this for a while with this couple, cabin parties, making out in the same bed, intercourse in the same bed next to each other, the girls kissing, and the husbands touching the other's wife," Paul said on the podcast "The Viall Files." Paul described the group as "inexperienced swingers," comparing their behavior to college students learning to navigate their sexual lives. She noted that some participants began developing feelings and jealousy as the activities escalated. The situation deteriorated when Paul and her husband disagreed about scaling back their involvement. Following their decision to divorce, rumors about Paul's alleged infidelity began circulating on Reddit. "I don't know who did it, but it ended up hitting the internet. All my TikToks were like, 'Cheater, husband stealer,'" Paul recounted. "And the girls were liking it, confirming it, my friends. So I was like, okay, well, if you're gonna do that, I'm just gonna go tell my story." In response to these accusations, Paul publicly shared her side of the story. "So I got online, not thinking at all, but like, 'Hey yes, I did do this, but we were also all hooking up just the other night,'" she explained. Paul emphasized that a desire for fairness drove her decision to reveal the group's activities. "It just didn't feel like it was fair... There was a lot more to the story than just I am some sort of home wrecker," she said. "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," which explores the aftermath of Paul's marriage ending and the subsequent MomTok scandal, is currently streaming on Hulu.
