In 2022, Miranda and Chase found themselves at the center of controversy when Taylor revealed her involvement in "soft swinging" with their friend group. This arrangement involved consensual partner swapping, leading to accusations of deeper feelings between Chase and Taylor.
"Well, the thing is, like, the height of what I was ever involved in was like playing spin the bottle and like kissing other people," Miranda said in episode 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
She added: "So it was very jarring for me for Taylor to come out and say like everyone was hooking up with everyone because that was simply not the case at all. No one had s-- ever. Period. I will go to my grave."

The Fallout with Taylor Frankie Paul
Fans witnessed the unraveling of Miranda and Taylor's friendship in episode 2, where Taylor expressed feeling left out during the scandal. She also admitted to not being fond of Chase.
"Chase came to me at the gym and told me that he had feelings for me, and basically, that was him, like, trying to open a door," Taylor recalled, noting the feelings were not mutual.

Miranda, on the other hand, felt deeply hurt that Taylor shared her thoughts with the entire friend group except for her. "It was the hardest 'cause it was also, I mean, I was like four months postpartum. And then I was also, like … I lost my best friend, dude," she emotionally explained.
Taylor acknowledged Miranda's pain and admitted she should have addressed her concerns sooner.
Meanwhile, Mayci Neeley commented on the tensions within the friend group, suggesting that Miranda was not being upfront about her actions.
"Miranda, she was a swinger. She was very much involved in the whole situation, but Miranda and Chase, her husband, during the time denied everything and tried to make Taylor look like a villain," Mayci vented. "I definitely think Miranda sees how well MomTok is doing, and now she's just coming on back, even though she doesn't talk to any of us for, like, two and a half years. It doesn't feel like the intention's pure."
