NoneTaylor Frankie Paul stirred the pot when she called out her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast members for their alleged lack of support at her CMAs appearance — and now they are clapping back. Days after appearing at the awards show, which took place November 20 in Nashville, Taylor, 30, took to her Instagram Story on Saturday, November 23, to throw shade at her cast members. “Not a single one of my girls from Momtok said anything on my CMA post, such a big night for me,” she wrote, alongside a selfie of her in a car. “Awkward.” Secret Lives of Mormon Wives costar Jessi Ngatikaura was surprised by the post, and took to her Instagram Story to share a screenshot of her response to Taylor. “Tay I literally posted you on my story. Are you for real?” Jessi, 32, wrote via Instagram DM before adding, “Also reposted your CMA TikTok and texted you the whole day you were there to support you. This is such a weird thing to post instead of coming to us first.” Jessi captioned the exchange, “Weird flex but OK.” Jessi explained how she had supported her pal in the comments section of Taylor’s Instagram post from the awards show. “Repost the cma’s TikTok of you ✔️. Post you on my story ✔️. Text you all day to congratulate and hype you up ✔️. Like this post ✔️. Free clip ins for filming and events like this ✔️. Free hair for your mom ✔️,” Jessi commented. “S— I forgot to comment even though I’m on vacation with my family and trying not to scroll too much 🤭 I’m the worst friend!! Forgive me queen Taylor, I’ll bow down now.” After one user replied to Jessi’s comment suggesting that the drama was “fake” in order to get viewers for the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives , she fired back at the idea. “One thing about me, I’m not playing into anything online or a storyline,” she wrote via her Instagram Story, alongside a screenshot of the comment. “What you see is what you get. If only you guys knew what’s really going on behind the scenes. We don’t need to make things up — our group just has things happen. Case in point — today.” Demi Engemann also seemingly hit back with a series of cryptic quotes via her Instagram Story. “Projection is so funny when you’re self aware cause people really can’t see outside of their *own* perspective and experiences. Like honey nothing you said has s— to do with me. Sounds like this is actually about you,” the quote read, which Demi, 30, captioned, “IYKYK.” Demi posted another quote, which read, “Being called sensitive for reacting to disrespect is manipulation at its finest.” While poking fun at the situation, Mikayla Matthews admitted in a TikTok with costar Mayci Neeley that she didn’t comment on Taylor’s Instagram. “Since we were all called out publicly, there’s one more secret I feel l have to share with you. I missed Taylor’s post yesterday,” Mikayla, 24, wrote, while lip syncing to a viral Family Guy audio. “What?” Mayci, 29, replied, to which Mikayla continued, “I didn’t comment either.” Mikayla captioned the post, “Hope this clears things up.” After her initial post, Taylor took to her Instagram Story to explain her point of view. “Just as WHOLE made me feel off,” she wrote over the first video, while she added in another slide, “I don’t think I’m queen, just felt pettiness so I came back petty per usual.” “I guess I ruffled some feathers, a little too much. But first off, we are not allowed to talk about any storyline, so this is not made up by any means. That little concoction I made myself, I guess. I thought it was awkward that every single one of my friends was silent. That’s all I meant by that,” Taylor claimed in the video. “I have a lot of supportive girls in this group, and I never said anyone specifically is not supportive because they are. Not a single one. I just felt off by it, so I made a petty post, and are we shocked?” “Since Demi is the most triggered by it, it’s interesting because she phone called me the other day saying, ‘I feel like you don’t really support me on social media.’ So it’s weird that it matters when it comes to her, but when it comes to me, it shouldn’t be a big deal, and they don’t have to bow down to me,” Taylor continued.

That’s fine. Again, nowadays, it’s your message without saying a message, and we can, I think, all agree. For all the girls telling me I should have handled this differently and offline as they’re literally eating me alive online right now, maybe they feel justified but don’t come at me if you’re going to do the exact same thing.” Taylor rose to fame after her 2022 claims that she and her husband had been “soft swinging” with fellow Mormon couples. Two years later, Taylor and her “MomTok” friends starred in the Hulu series — which centered around the aftermath of the claims. The cast included Taylor, Demi, Mikayla, Mayci, Jessi, Jen Affleck, Whitney Leavitt and Layla Taylor . News broke in October that the hit show had been renewed for season 2 .

Lions may be without Decker, Raymond, Davis vs. BearsBillionaire Gautam Adani is alleged to have personally met government officials in India on several occasions to advance the scheme. NEW DELHI - Stunning bribery charges in the United States against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, who is close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have ricocheted through India’s political circles and wiped billions from his firms’ market value. On Nov 20, the US authorities announced that they had charged Asia’s second-richest person and head of the Adani Group, an Indian conglomerate whose businesses extend from energy to airports, over an alleged multi-billion-dollar bribery and fraud scheme. Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani and six others were accused of promising more than US$250 million (S$336 million) in bribes to government officials in India to secure lucrative solar energy contracts. They had lied about the bribery scheme as they sought to raise US and international capital, said Mr Breon Peace, United States Attorney for New York’s eastern district. Adani, 62, is alleged to have personally met government officials in India on several occasions to advance the scheme. Arrest warrants have been issued in the US for Adani and his nephew Sagar, and prosecutors plan to hand those warrants to foreign law enforcement, Reuters reported, citing court records. US prosecutors charged Gautam Adani (centre) with participating in a scheme that involved bribing Indian government officials to secure solar energy contracts. PHOTO: AFP Describing the charges as “baseless”, the Adani Group said in a statement: “All possible legal recourse will be sought.” The bribery allegations have come as a shot in the arm for Indian opposition parties, which have long had the Adani Group in their crosshairs, alleging that Adani is bankrolling the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and accusing Mr Modi of favouring and protecting him in return, charges that the BJP has denied. Mr Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, a veteran Indian journalist who has reported extensively on the Adani Group’s alleged wrongdoing, said no industrialist “was ever as closely identified with the head of the (Indian) government as Mr Adani is today”, which is why the latest development “is bound to have an impact on India’s overall political economy”. “Politics, because the opposition will scream. And on the economy, because Adani’s stocks are very, very important in the market,” he told The Straits Times. The impact of the allegations in faraway US have already been felt in the Indian stock market. The combined market valuation of all 10 listed Adani Group firms fell sharply by 2.19 trillion rupees (S$34.8 billion) on Nov 21, according to a report from the Press Trust of India. On the same day, Adani Green Energy, which is building the “world’s largest renewable energy plant” in Gujarat in western India, cancelled plans to raise US$600 million in US dollar-denominated bonds. At a press conference on Nov 21, Mr Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition, said Adani should be arrested immediately and questioned, but acknowledged this was unlikely. “We want to show the country that Mr Adani will not be arrested, and he won’t be arrested because India’s Prime Minister is standing behind him,” he said. Mr Gandhi, a Congress party leader, also called for the sacking of Ms Madhabi Puri Buch, chairperson of the country’s securities regulatory body, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, accusing her of failing to investigate wrongdoings by the Adani Group. Congress has demanded that a joint parliamentary committee probe be conducted to look into the Adani Group’s alleged wrongdoings, with leaders from Aam Aadmi Party and All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) - both opposition parties - calling for an independent judicial probe. “This is deeply rotten... Biggest question is: how much is the involvement of Modi & BJP in this?” TMC spokesperson Saket Gokhale said in a post on X on Nov 21. At a press conference on the same day, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra refused to get drawn into the specifics of the charges and said the Adani Group would defend itself. “The law will take its own course,” he added. Mr Patra noted that the four states, including Chhattisgarh and Tamil Nadu, mentioned in the US indictment against Adani and his associates had non-BJP governments during the period from July 2021 to February 2022 when the bribes were allegedly promised to the government officials. Mr Patra, however, did not mention Jammu and Kashmir, a region that also figures in the US criminal indictment. A former state, the region has since 2019 been governed directly by the BJP-led central government as a federally administered territory. Mr Gandhi has said he is open to an investigation in all states concerned, including those ruled by the Congress and other opposition parties. “If Ambani and Adani follow due process, we have no problem but if they are working with criminality, working for monopolisation, working through corrupt means, then we have a problem,” he said, referring to Mr Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest person, and chairman and managing director of Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries. The charges filed in New York are yet another blow to Adani, who had an estimated net worth of US$85.5 billion on Nov 20 and was the world’s 18th richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. In January 2023, he was accused by the US short-seller Hindenburg Research of a “brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme”, following which the group’s fortunes plummeted by over US$80 billion. The Indian mogul regained much of his wealth in early 2024. The indictment in the US coincides with a Nov 19 ruling from the High Court in Bangladesh that directs the government to conduct a high-level inquiry into its electricity purchase deal with Adani Power Limited in 2017. The firm’s energy exports to Bangladesh have been controversial, with claims that it forces Dhaka to buy power at exorbitantly high prices. On Nov 20, Kenya announced the cancellation of a more than US$700 million deal its energy ministry had signed with a unit of the Adani Group to construct power transmission lines. Kenyan President William Ruto attributed the decision to “new information provided by investigative agencies and partner nations”.
