Whitney Leavitt called out Zac Affleck in a new episode of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” for making hurtful comments about her husband Conner’s sexuality.
Throughout the latest batch of episodes, Jen Affleck speaks with Whitney despite their past falling out and attempts to smooth things over.
The new episodes of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County” come just days after Jen Affleck announced that she filed for divorce from Zac after more than five years of marriage.
Jen Affleck Opens Up About Her Husband Zac’s Hurtful Comment About Whitney Leavitt’s Husband
During episode 6 of “SLOMWOC,” Jen catches up with her former co-stars, Mayci Neeley and Mikayla Matthews, and tells them about a message Whitney sent her after her husband, Zac, made a hurtful comment about her family.
“Someone commented on Zac’s TikTok saying something — that his hair was cute — and Zac commented back, basically alluding that, ‘I’m not gay, but want to try Conner’s page?’ which was just so unnecessary,” Jen said in her confessional.
Zac’s comment spread like wildfire and prompted Whitney to send Jen an “aggressive” text message, calling them both out.
Whitney Leavitt Sends Jen Affleck An Explosive Text Message After Zac’s Comments Go Viral
“I would have included your husband in this, but I don’t have his number, so please pass this along: What you said was incredibly disrespectful and out of line,” part of Whitney’s message to Jen read.
“I don’t care what you say about me, but bringing up Conner’s sexual abuse and making jokes or comments tied to that crosses a serious f–king boundary. And just to be very f–king clear, there’s nothing wrong with being gay. We fully support that and always have, but we both know that wasn’t the intent behind your comment, and that’s exactly the problem,” the message continued.
And that wasn’t all Whitney had to say. She finished her lengthy, passionate text message by telling Jen that, if she revealed their conversation to other people, she wouldn’t “hesitate to take this public.”

Jen Affleck Defends Whitney And Her Husband During ‘The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives: Orange County’
While Jen would normally defend Zac against the chaos in previous seasons, the reality star and soon-to-be mother of four said that she understood where Whitney was coming from.
“Whitney’s text is making me realize that I don’t feel like I can fully move on, forward with my divorce with Zac, without trying to resolve the issues in my friendships that my marriage caused,” Jen said. “I want her to know that I don’t condone any of the things that Zac’s done in the past.”
Elsewhere in the episode, the two women decide to meet, and during the conversation, Jen apologized for how things played out between them.
“It hurt me seeing the way that Zac spoke to you, and Conner was right,” she said. “You had every right to feel that way because what he said was hurtful. I’m at the point of, ‘I’m not defending you anymore.’ I’m tired of defending his gambling, his dishonesty and the way that he’s treated other people. I don’t want to be married to that anymore.”
Jen Files For Divorce From Zac While Pregnant With Their Fourth Kid
According to a previous report from The Blast, Jen filed for divorce from Zac in November 2026. Jen said that while it may shock some to file just before the birth of her fourth child, she said now was the right time.
“I think it sounds crazy to say, but because I’m about to be postpartum, I knew that I needed to make the decision now,” she said. “Not being postpartum, because when you’re postpartum, it’s the most vulnerable stage of having children, and I was worried that if I waited until then, that I would continue the cycle.”
Zac Was Allegedly Controlling Jen
Zac and Jen’s marital woes were showcased on the OG series of “SLOMW,” and according to sources close to the pair, Zac’s alleged controlling nature carried over to “DWTS.”
“He asserted his dominance and tried to dictate certain dance moves that were off limits for Jen, and he said there were certain costuming things she couldn’t wear,” a source said.
“He didn’t allow Jan to fully do his job and made things very uncomfortable,” they added, before saying production and Jen’s partner, Jan, had to “tip-toe” to keep the peace.
