Whitney Leavitt Announces Her ‘the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Exit
Very big changes are coming to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. While Hulu has resumed filming for the series’ fifth season after Taylor Frankie Paul’s legal drama was resolved, not everyone is keen to return to the set. Whitney Leavitt is closing the door on the reality TV show. She has something very different in her sights now. She even made the announcement while performing on Broadway. Here is everything you need to know about Whitney Leavitt’s decision to leave The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Whitney Leavitt announces her plans to leave The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives behind
Whitney Leavitt has been on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives since its inception. She’s appeared in every single episode and is considered one of the original MomTok creators. It’s been a good run, but her aspirations have changed. The MomTok veteran took to the stage to portray Roxie Hart in Chicago, and now she’s ready to continue her journey. She announced her plans to leave the Hulu series behind during her final performance as Roxie.
According to Page Six, in her final moments in the role, Whitney Leavitt took to the stage with a newspaper, shouting, “What is that?” She appeared to read the paper, proclaiming, “Whitney Leavitt announces she’s leaving The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” The crowd reportedly erupted in cheers, happy to support the star’s changing direction.
The decision comes after massive success outside of the series
Long before reality television came calling, Leavitt had always described herself as a performer at heart. It looks like her post-SLOMW trajectory will prove that. After the show’s initial success, Leavitt began saying yes to a ton of opportunities. Those opportunities have uncovered where her true passion lies. After success on Dancing with the Stars, she took on the iconic role of Roxie Hart on Broadway.
Leavitt’s run helped elevate the production, setting a new ticket sales record. Her time in the role was extended multiple times due to ticket demand, and critics found her portrayal enchanting. Leavitt seems pretty sad to be leaving the production behind. Still, it seems like there is more on the horizon for Leavitt. She has some established plans in place: Leavitt will appear in her first feature film soon. She’s stepping into the role of chief creative officer at Cool Sips, as well. Considering the success of her Broadway run, we expect to see her name in lights again soon, too.
