‘Mormon Wives’ is clashing with core LDS values and America is eating it up: expert
Fox News
'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' has become a cultural phenomenon, with cast members turning their lifestyle into booming brands through reality TV success.
"Mormons are not usually cast for reality programming, as the level of indulgence, opulence, and overt sexuality runs contra to their central beliefs." Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"Reality television is nothing more than an escape from reality itself," Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, told Fox News Digital of the series — which aired its explosive Season 3 reunion special on Thursday. "Also, the construct of the show is antithetical to our macro-understanding of Mormon culture. Strict adherence to LDS [Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints] teachings and practices couldn't be further from what is being portrayed on the show."
