Why Jessi Draper and Miranda Hope Are Feuding Over Chase McWhorter: Inside the 'Mormon Wives' Latest Drama

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives never runs out of drama.

After Jessi Draper's estranged husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, filed for divorce after five years of marriage, the JZ Styles owner began posting several flirty TikTok videos with Miranda Hope's ex-husband, Chase McWhorter.

McWhorter was seen standing at a bus stop in one clip, which included the text, "I've heard your friends ex husband is really hot."

Draper popped out of the screen with the text over her that read, "But you're my friends ex husband."

McWhorter then playfully flipped his hair before walking off.

Things quickly took a bitter turn when a Deuxmoi source claimed Draper was spotted cozying up to McWhorter and "later kissing" while "standing in front of a closer group of people" at a recent party.

A separate insider told a news outlet the two were "having fun at a party" and that "it's not serious between them."

Following the news, Hope appeared to address Draper and McWhorter's kiss by sharing a photo of the apology flowers and note sent to her by her Mormon Wives costar.

"I Completely Understand You Being Upset With Me But Wanted To Send You A Little Something To Let You Know I'm Thinking About You And I Am So, So Sorry," Draper wrote in the card.

Hope added the text, "received the prettiest flowers just minutes ago 🙃."

Hope took aim at the fallout in a Get Ready With Me video with Kesha's "Backstabber" playing in the background.

"GRWM while I process my friend group being a waiting room for my ex-husband," she wrote over the video.

She added in the caption, "It's not even a betrayal at this point, it's a tradition."

As the scandal deepened, Hope issued a statement to Entertainment Tonight confirming her ex-husband and her costar had indeed kissed.

"Unfortunately, I am familiar with this territory. I knew there had been communication between Chase and Jessi but not to what extent. Then Chase was upfront and told me that they were talking and that they kissed," she began her lengthy post. "Jessi reached out only after she knew Chase had told me something was going on with them. And today, at the same time a rumor started spreading online that something was going on with Chase and Jessi, I received apology flowers from Jessi."

She added, "What I never want to get misconstrued is that there’s not an emotional attachment to Chase. He is my co-parent. Although I do feel disrespected by Chase, I feel slighted by my friend."

Hope said she has a high expectation of her ex-partner as a co-parent. However, she also noted she holds her friends "to a high standard" and "believe[s] in girl code."

"With everything going on and all the chaos, I am just focusing on my kids. As unfortunate as the film break is and then also this betrayal I'm going to try and focus on my kids and reground myself. I am processing it and moving forward," she continued.

Mormon Wives star Mikayla Matthews jumped into the conversation and lambasted McWhorter.

"There's a reason I stand firm in my despise for that man," she wrote in the comments section of a video about the kiss, per E! Online. "HE HAS NOT CHANGED ONE BIT like hello."

She also called out his sister, Aysia, asking her, "Aysia, where you at, girl? You are, in fact, your blood line's last hope."
