Welcome to Pop Cult: The Fame Files
If Kim K broke the internet, the Mormon Wives of Utah broke TikTok on that one fateful day in May 2022. For those of us who are chronically online, our jaws were all collectively on the floor watching the details of this swinging scandal unfold. And if there’s one thing the Church of Latter Day Saints and the Mormon Wives have in common, it’s that they can’t steer clear of a scandal. A swinging scandal is one thing but put the word MORMON in front of it and this is uncharted territory…for everyone…including those involved. We break down the details of the chaos that unfolded exclusively on the internet and how it evolved into what ‘MomTok’ is today.
The Fame Files is part of Pop Cult, where we unpack pop culture’s biggest stories, scandals, and icons.
Join us on Tuesday for our next episode of Reality Digest, where we’ll cover the previous weeks’ pop culture chaos and debrief the latest episodes of our favorite reality shows!
