Mormon Wives Star Conner Leavitt Shares He Was Sexually Abused As a Child
Briefly

Conner Leavitt, a participant in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, revealed his childhood sexual abuse at the show's reunion. He linked this trauma to his struggles with mental health, pornography addiction, and a cheating scandal. Conner expressed that sharing this painful memory provided him with validation. He encouraged others who have experienced similar traumas, stating that their stories do not end with their past experiences. Fellow cast member Taylor Frankie Paul offered her support, acknowledging the difficulty of Conner's revelation and praising his vulnerability, which inspired him in return.
"Something I had only shared with Whitney, my therapist, and my family was that when I was a little boy, I was raped. And when I was finally honest with that emotion and that memory, everything made sense, the validation I needed."
"Your story doesn't end with what happened to you."
"Honestly, your vulnerability and your ability to just not hold back about what's going on in your life gave me a lot of courage and strength."
