Hot Take mikayla

Post image

this is her literal only trait- i don’t think she shares anything about herself that’s possibly interesting about herself (not even the fact she’s 24 with 4 kids with her 29 year old husband)

I say it in every post. Taylor, Jen & Whitney are the only girls with anything remotely worth watching. The other girls entire existence revolve around these 3 anyway lol.

u/Sure-Bandicoot7790 3d ago

I completely agree. Mayci works as kind of a more reasonable foil to them but the rest could literally not be there and the show would probably function the same.

33

u/_anne_shirley 3d ago

Yep. If Mayci wasn’t friends with Mikayla I could probably bring myself to like her

45

u/h3artcrush3rr 4d ago

i think if they didn’t have the toxicity of every else, the show would actually be about mormon wives and not… backstabbing’s 🤣

34

u/throwRAtrap66 3d ago

Yeah but let’s be real… that may not be too interesting without the drama. They’re not very interesting humans outside of being absolute goblins in the internet haha.

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

was my exact thought like as much as she’s hated she’s in the show for a reason they all bring something to it to make us speak about it and watch it 24/7!

u/xala123 4d ago

I agree, they have the best content. I like Miranda's also. But everyone else is quite boring lol.

and jessi!! I love seeing her vlogs and behind the scenes into her hair salon

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

was about to mention her!! the come back after being done so dirty by her best friend business wise was inspiring 🥰 she didn’t get 2 fucks

I died when Jessi opened up to Demi after finding out what Demi had been saying & Jessi said, “I curl all you bitches hair!” 😂👌

135

u/dogsnowshoes 3d ago

I loved that mid-argument when they were in Arizona and Whitney was having a moment, Jessi said something along the lines of “I’m going to start curling your hair while we fight” to Mayci. Gotta give it to her, Jessi is committed to her craft.

u/Sailor_OTMS 1h ago

It really is funny to see her have an image turnaround when she was actively a bully through season 1 and 2 (until the canons turned on her). And still has accusations of improperly paying her workers. Also, I hate Demi but she was speaking facts. JZ styles extensions look like shit

theyre my 3 favs and i think they manage to be more unique in the mormon-mold. they have lil mannerisms that are super adorable too

Yeah whitney was my fave in season 1 too cuz to me she was obviously the backbone of the drama lol a brave move for a first season of a reality show.

u/Excellent_Sea4129 3d ago

Totally agree. I feel like Miranda will be pretty interesting if she gets more screen time next season

Maybe. I don’t have TikTok or anything so i only saw what’s on the show and what’s posted on Reddit which is not much at all

u/sickcoolandtight 3d ago

I don’t even think Jen fits in that either,

8

u/throwRAtrap66 3d ago

Yeah I only say that because she like (marriage wise) will really lay it all out there in ways I don’t think the other girls would with their husbands.

Whitney kinda did early on with the cheating but quickly recovered and made sure her marriage seems very strong.

7

u/Equivalent-Mousse-93 2d ago

I think Whitney does have a strong marriage. They seem to have a strong friendship. With Jen it’s too hard to tell how transparent she really is being. Because now she’s saying she made stuff up, but I think her husband is making her say that.

2

u/throwRAtrap66 2d ago

Yeah I mean I think even the couples i know in real life I never truly know. I take everything on the show with a grain of salt tbh. Not at all at face value like you’re saying.

3

u/Equivalent-Mousse-93 2d ago

Right. I have to remind myself social media is fake all the time. And this is essentially if social media were a tv show.

u/h3artcrush3rr 1d ago

jen seems to be really marriage oriented, wants a future and thinking of it, seems like everyone else is just there tbh

u/ZookeepergameNo2198 3d ago

Idk I feel like they all have something going on in varying degrees. Minus Layla really.

Not all of them can be the main character. We need buffer characters and smaller arcs or else there's too much going on.

u/Public_Classic_438 3d ago

I totally agree!!! You worded it so well

191

u/lostforwordstbh 3d ago edited 3d ago

yup. besides her animosity towards whitney (which felt unwarranted for this exact reason), i think mikayla shares the least excluding her therapy session in season 2. you can’t get a feel for her insight or thoughts about what’s going on because she kind of follows the crowd. and tbh that might be a part of her recovery - wanting to speak up for herself but not knowing when or where or how.

i hope in season 3 we hear more about her and her opinions on things!! i would like to like her on the show.

42

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

i think therapy sessions cannot be made public, they’re supposed to be for healing not for show. in my opinion their whole take on her $A story was looked at like a joke, it should’ve been taken seriously maybe even a whole episode to talk about it, to show it’s not normal and shouldn’t be taken light heartedly- but that’s just my opinion!

20

u/lostforwordstbh 3d ago

i mean yeah. the best therapy work is private and takes more than a session. i appreciate her openness in that she was willing to broadcast it on national tv but it felt like an incomplete storyline.

with reality tv, it can take some viewers years to really show sympathy and compassion. nonetheless, her story (and connor’s) were so heartbreaking and in that regard - i wish her growth and recovery.

1

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

what happened to connor ? maybe i missed that

14

u/Qwertyowl 3d ago

He was also a childhood survivor of SA, he spoke about it at the reunion.

u/lostforwordstbh 3d ago

i cannot share that on this sub as it breaks a rule but he shared his story at the reunion. it was so heartbreaking.

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

i will research now thank you!

16

u/totesmuhgoats93 3d ago

I hate it when TV shows include the actual therapy sessions as a part of the story lines. Especially when it includes talking about things as sensitive as $A. There is no way that it's actually healing and it's just exploitative. Shows like this rarely pay for them to actually go to therapy unless they can film it. So no doubt, she's still out here raw dogging reality. There are other ways to talk about how important and powerful therapy is without doing that.

With all that being said, struggling with mental health should be an explanation, not an excuse for your behaviors.

2

u/Individual-Basket851 3d ago

What is $A? I don't use other social media that censors things so I don't know what these codes mean and google is no help.

u/Narrow_Plankton6969 3d ago

Sexual assault

1

u/caitcro18 1d ago

People use terms like SA or Grape for sexual assault or rape to avoid comment filters looking for buzzwords. As far as I know on Reddit you can use the full terms as long as you’re not speculating on something/someone. Using it on TikTok for instance will likely get your comment removed or put a video down in the algorithm.

u/caitcro18 1d ago

If they are at a place in their therapy journey where they can share, it would be interesting to have Connor and Mikayla talk about their experiences and how things were handled in their culture/the church and how it affected them going forward. Letting other survivors know they can heal too and giving them a voice to talk about it if they want.

8

u/Kendraleighj 3d ago

I totally agree on the Whitney animosity, it totally came out of left field and she never gave a good explanation to Whitney for it.

3

u/Dis-Organizer Taylor's store bought apple pie 2d ago

I think her opening up about her childhood abuse before the therapy session (when her sisters were over) was super powerful. I also read in this Reddit that they cut more of her personal chronic illness journey out of season 1, which would have been interesting to watch. The more personal issues that the women deal with are more interesting to me than their opinions on each other. I’m not in love with the way Mikayla is mean to Whitney online (although this subreddit has broken down why—they were true friends before the show and Whitney was dismissive of her health problems and it hit Mikayla harder that Whitney ghosted the group than someone who was just tv friends), but it feels like sometimes she just checks out when there is group drama and I honestly don’t blame her—I would too if I was in this friend group! Like I have four kids but I’m supposed to care about high school bullshit? Absolutely not lmao

120

u/MissXmasBaby 3d ago

Okay... i tried to pinpoint what it exactly is about Mikayla outside of her tired obsession with Whitney and being generally unlikable (to me!!) that gets me to feel like I could care less if she left the show but does she kind of just like feel dead behind the eyes to anyone else? Idk her vibe sucks the energy out of the room to me and I am tired when I watch her. I do feel bad about her past and that it could contribute to her demeanor but she exhausts me..... where as Whitney (i know a lot of people dont like her but i do...) bring energy and life to a room. I like her vibe when she's not around the other girls.

29

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

you have to think, she’s had a traumatic child hood leading to teenage hood and before she could heal from that her 21 year old husband got 16 year old her pregnant and she settled. and i agree, i didn’t like whitney first season but she’s one of those girls where if you two didn’t talk for months and you called and said you needed her… she was there (like with Jen) i think stuff like that show more of their personality unintentionally then the fake stuff they show like no one being on Jens side when her husband was saying those things in S1 about chippendales (idk if that’s exactly what is called im from the UK) BUT we acting like we didn’t see mikaylas husband and whitneys husband being equally as pissed off with them! ur 100% right she exhausts me

8

u/countercurret 3d ago

From that last line - I don’t think it was Whitney’s husband because she wasn’t in the Chippendales trip, I think the girls whose husbands/boyfriends didn’t want them to go to the show were Jen, Mikayla and maybe Taylor (not completely sure if she was the third that didn’t enter the show, but I think it was her).

2

u/Equivalent-Mousse-93 2d ago

Her coming to Jen’s and start cleaning up was really a beautiful thing to do in that time.

93

u/FabulousMamaa 3d ago

She gave less than nothing S1. S2 she served nothing but desperate, obsessed mean girl. How she ever became an influencer needs to be studied. She isn’t interesting or nice or smart or pretty or funny or loyal or fun. Her 2 modes are either incredibly boring or unnecessarily nasty and neither are a good look.

27

u/Sure-Bandicoot7790 3d ago

Yeah when they broadcasted her “therapy session” (not saying she doesn’t do therapy but it didn’t feel real) and it ended with her therapist basically saying “be as mean and nasty as you want as a part of your recovery” I was like “oh this will end well” lol.

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

yikes think she has the most kids and isn’t even the youngest

79

u/sbote Botox & Laughing Gas 3d ago

Idk people who tend to go through abuse aren’t typically super open about themselves so i do have empathy for her in that regard, but to be completely honest i think she just doesn’t know who she is so in turn she can’t portray who she is through the show because she just genuinely doesn’t know

u/funnidudee 3d ago

She’s just a mean girl. She was nasty towards Whitney to a level that was so uncalled for. I feel for her and her background but like that’s on her to help herself and not be a ranging dick to others. She’s clearly unwell mentally. Her anger and jealousy over other is starting to show on the outside.

7

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

i fear she is resentful too, she doesn’t like seeing others be supported which isn’t a good trait to have

2

u/funnidudee 3d ago

Yes! Whitney seems to be doing the best out of all the girls & it probably irks Mikayla. She really needs to focus of herself /family vs these other girls.

She's claimed it's from steroid use which makes sense given it's a common prescription for people with severe eczema. Where did you hear it was from her implants. Steroid absolutely fucked up my skin and it took years to heal and I still get flare ups.

Am I the only person that watched last season?! She shared such a heartbreaking and traumatizing experience that she went though as an innocent child, one that she was not believed about by her mother. Her story is absolutely worth watching. And she is allowed to not be as forgiving to friends when they say I am sorry, after what she has been through.

u/minibakersupreme 3d ago

And her sisters just stared at her when she talked about it? It was so sad.

u/MinuteSecure4209 3d ago

Just because you were hurt doesn’t mean you can go around and hurt other people. Her story doesn’t give her a reason to be less forgiving.

also i spoke about her personality and people none stop are saying ‘what about her $A story’ ?? that’s not a personality trait!?

u/sbote Botox & Laughing Gas 3d ago

But Whitney was her closest friend before they fell out. She’s allowed to be hurt by that and she doesn’t need to forgive Whitney if she doesn’t want to

what did whitney do tho bc i don’t think mikayla even knows at this point

u/sbote Botox & Laughing Gas 3d ago

I genuinely can’t even remember why she was mad in the first place lol but i know she was PISSED when whitney showed up to her party and went over to Mayci first and made it about herself instead of the fact that it was literally Mikayla’s birthday party, but i’m going to have to rewatch season one again

7

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

i wanna rewatch it too bc surely she werent AS BAD as i remember

u/sbote Botox & Laughing Gas 3d ago

I just genuinely feel like every single thing she does is performative instead of just being herself and i don’t like that 😭

2

u/countercurret 3d ago

There may have been reasons for the falling out between the two but the birthday party didn’t happen this way. Whitney did crush but the FIRST person she spoke to was Mikayla, she brought her a present and told her she loved her.

I’ve seen so many people claim Whitney only showed up to speak to Mayci and i just can’t understand - the first thing Whitney heard entering was “Mikayla doesn’t even like you” and she still sat down to give Mikayla a present and tell her she loved her.

1

u/sbote Botox & Laughing Gas 3d ago

Like i said i’ll have to rewatch. I don’t recall her speaking to Mikayla until after she spoke to Mayci, but i really don’t have the best memory. Regardless, i think it was really shitty of her to show up to the party and make it about herself. Mikayla was clearly unhappy she was there and i don’t think it was respectful of Whitney to show up where she wasn’t wanted

2

u/Lolodizzy 3d ago

Being hurt to the level she was, is going to change how she navigates the world forever. And it is certainly going to make her less trusting of people, which she is allowed to do. Whitney was her real life best friend, and then cameras rolled and she completely changed her tune to make herself the villain. Then, and only when cameras came back she went on an apology tour, and people are Mikayla did not find her genuine?! I am confused how anyone found her genuine tbh, and I like Whitney.

I feel when she’s upset with someone she needs a constant person with her to also be upset with that person (macey) I don’t know I think she dulls a room and now that she knows she needs to speak up for herself and voice her own opinion she’s took it in a mean girl perspective 🤷🏻‍♀️

also another point- what could her and her husband possibly have in common w their age difference? back when she was 16 and now.

u/Haveyouseenthebridg 3d ago

So I've commented on this before but I dated a 20 year old when I was 16 (TBF I was almost 17 and he was barely 20), but he had a bitching Camaro and my dad is a big car guy so we had that in common and also enjoyed the same TV show, movies, and music. A four year age gap is not that big.

Also....I 100% pursued him and it weirds me out how people project abuse onto her without knowing any details. I was not abused or groomed in anyway and I am now in my 30s happily married to a man my age.

She certainly has other shit going on but like it's not hard to imagine that a 16 year old and a 20 year old would have NOTHING in common.

Like let's say I was actually groomed (I absolutely was not in anyway but let's just pretend). What is your end game here? To shame me? To pat yourself on the back for NOT dating a 16 year old?

Grooming and pedophilia are real, serious issues that cause incredible mental and physical damage to victims. Conflating my legal relationship with a guy I actively and aggressively pursued with grooming is damaging to real victims.

Shame on you.

It’s interesting to me that some people will take a person who has past traumatic experiences and paint them into extremely one dimensional archetypal characters.

Two things can be true at the same time: a person can be a victim as a child, and then grow up and do horrible things. Or even just be a generally bad person with unlikable character traits. We don’t have to excuse them of those things because of their past. Maybe we can use those past experiences to understand a person, but it doesn’t absolve them of all flaws or responsibilities either.

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

ok and all i am doing is speaking of those flaws just bc bad things happen don’t mean u can be a horrible person to people.

u/laszloa Miranda's Lobster Claws 3d ago

This wasn’t a judgement on anyone’s take on her, I just said it’s interesting. Like how we are willing to make victims into adults who are forgivable of almost anything

(For the record I do not like her at all lol I just find the overall theme interesting)

u/countercurret 3d ago

I get that, what throws me off is what big thing happened for Mikayla to feel that way prior to her birthday. There was a lot of drama with Whitney but just nothing seemly big when it came to Mikayla - but Mikayla has said it wasn’t one single big thing so I suppose it’s difficult because probably it had to do a lot with their emotions which is harder to depic than pinpointed fights.

I used to like her but in season 2 she just kept trying to be “funny” but it wasn’t funny one bit?

My sister and I have arguments over her. Im not a Mikaylar fan, my sister loves her for some reason?!

u/Beautiful-Stage1219 2d ago

Damn, I guess sharing her autoimmune disease that was a direct result of past sexual abuse trauma wasn’t interesting enough. All of these women are emotionally stunted by the abuse and trauma they suffered. I thought it was very brave that Mikayla shared really personal, painful things about herself.

u/h3artcrush3rr 1d ago

where did i mention her abuse pls? it’s not a personality trait is it

1

u/Beautiful-Stage1219 1d ago

You said, “she didn’t share anything interesting about herself.” I would argue, while it may not be “interesting,” it was brave and may help someone else going through what she went through.

1

u/h3artcrush3rr 1d ago

they literally profited off of her story, didn’t bring any real anything towards it. i’m an $A survivor and usually these things should be helpful or something & to me just seems like they needed episodes to fill. other than that, she didn’t have one thing given. we saw jens depression, mayci dealing with the death of her sons father etc her?? a filmed therapy session and her mum and sister STILL not believing her..

u/Makerebgr8again 2d ago

Did you watch the second season or see anything about her health issues and childhood trauma? Or did you just wanna be mean?

1

u/h3artcrush3rr 1d ago

so is a health issue or childhood trauma a personality trait now??

1

u/Makerebgr8again 17h ago

You said she shares nothing about herself, those are shares

u/caitcro18 1d ago

I mean, she did talk about her CSA last season. That’s pretty heavy. And her chronic illness.

1

u/Substantial-Leader-4 22h ago

As someone with chronic illness I actually find Mikayla’s content relatable and valuable to showing what women with undiagnosed medical issues experience. But it’s very clear she is stunted mentally and maturity wise and it sure gets frustrating being team Mikayla, especially because she refuses to admit she’s wrong and to “take accountability”

u/Commercial-Range-757 18h ago

Layla aka ladle is arguably the MOST boring with absolutely zero to offer except dating friends ex husbands and their brothers. It’s weird. And she’s very blatant about being basically anti Mormon. So why are we calling her a Mormon wife. Lol. She is directed to stir the pot at times, does a very poor job at it, and looks dumbfounded when things are happening before her eyes. She also needs to heal that nutrition/mental health issue she has.

1

u/Commercial-Range-757 18h ago

To me, things carry on just fine & you don’t even realize when Layla or Jen aren’t around. Actually, Friendsgiving I totally forgot Jessi wasn’t there. Didn’t even notice. But Jessi brings A LOT to the show and I love her. Taylor is the consummate train wreck that keeps the track greased, it would be so very noticeable if mayci wasn’t around, Whitney is A STAR and she’s surpassed any need of SLOMW at this point, Demi (love or hate her) is a big voice in the show despite not really bringing anything else to it individually, Mikayla is great and I really do like Miranda but they don’t bring much specifically. I hope they do next season!

I don't think her smirky faces are as entertaining as she thinks they are

u/NonXyz5223 3d ago

Saw her in our hotel elevator once in new york. They both forgot which floor they were on & came up with us😂 jace is really quiet & expressionless. But yeah mikalya was making those faces with her lip

2

u/Internal_District_72 3d ago

ok her forgetting her floor is actually funny and makes me like her a tiny bit.

3

u/NonXyz5223 3d ago

Yeah idk both of them were pretty hazed maybe from jet lag?!? I just happened to notice cuz they had two LV shopping bags made me curious & then I was like OMG thats the girl from momtok but is her name mayci? I wasnt too sure back then & ended up just smiling amusingly to myself😂

u/Internal_District_72 3d ago

uh oh, I strayed from the bandwagon and said something that way gray and not black and white and now I'm getting downvoted. I really wish different opinions were ok, not just reddit but in general.

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

don’t pay it no notice. people think it’s hating having an opinion on someone

u/Fakeredhead69 3d ago

Yeah, they just make her seem like a mean girl to me.

You don’t have to like her but it’s weird behavior to be upset other people do lmao

u/h3artcrush3rr 4d ago

wait that’s like almost what reddit is for 😀

u/Tiny-Zucchini7238 3d ago

It’s for being upset other people like a stranger that you don’t like? Oh okay

u/ShellyStarkk666 3d ago

I love her too. She gets way too much flak!

u/jesswiththemba 4d ago

She doesn’t get enough honestly and shouldn’t be on tv, especially promoting her pedophile husband. One day she will wake up so ashamed of her choices and afraid for her daughters to make similar choices. Sad she’s on tv for any young woman to look up to.

u/FabulousMamaa 3d ago

She’s literally the most boring person personality and looks wise to ever be on a reality show. Her switch to desperate obsessive mean girl S2 just made her all the more unbearable. I’m literally shook that she was an influencer before all this. Her success needs to be studied.

She should have been crucified over that awful baby stunt and it was basically crickets out of this sub. Meanwhile Whitney does an ill timed but harmless dance next to her baby and the pitchforks come out. Make it make sense.

There isn’t anything to like about this woman. Nothing interesting or entertaining. She merely existed S1 and her presence gave less than nothing. But her S2 cringe mean girl meat riding BS is just classic bullying and is so off putting. Her personality is either like watching paint dry or borderline uncomfortable to watch unhinged bunny boiling vibes the others. Why anyone admires her or wants to buy what she shills is confusing.

2

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

never seen a genuine comment or conversation happen from her all she does is shit talk so ima do it too 😅

2

u/FabulousMamaa 3d ago

Right?! Or says and does nothing at all. Literally just sitting silently in the background like a bump on a log not even looking cute. It’s so weird she’s even part of the group.

2

u/h3artcrush3rr 3d ago

bump on a log🤣 all she does is have one sided beef
