Quick status check on Demi Engemann and Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, because the rumor mill is doing laps again after the whole Fruity Pebbles saga. People keep asking if she quit, got fired, or is quietly being edged out. Short answer: not official. Longer answer: it’s messy, even for this show.
Where things stand right now
As of today, there is no official word from Hulu or Demi that she’s leaving or has been fired. That matters. If a cast member exits a series like this, you usually get a statement, or at least some semi-formal acknowledgment. We don’t have that.
What we do have: Demi recently scrubbed The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives from her Instagram bio, which fans clocked quickly (credit to Reality Shrine for catching it). Yes, the bio edit is the modern celebrity smoke signal. No, it’s not proof of anything by itself.
How we got here
The latest hand-wringing didn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s tied to older drama and some very fresh conflict:
- Before season 3, Demi briefly quit after a blow-up with Taylor Frankie Paul. She felt she wasn’t valued, walked away, then came back to, in her words, set the record straight.
- She had previously threatened to leave the entire MomTok scene if Taylor stayed. That obviously did not stick.
- Contract turbulence: when it came time to renegotiate before season 3, she says an offer didn’t come through. She was off the board for a bit, then returned by episode 6 and has been on the show since.
- Newer tensions include a feud with Jessi tied to contract disputes and chatter about an alleged affair with Marciano.
- After the latest controversies, a chunk of the fandom started calling for Demi to be dropped from the show.
So...is she out?
Not officially. The only confirmed time Demi wasn’t part of the show was that pre-season 3 contract snag. She came back mid-season and hasn’t left since. The bio change is eyebrow-raising, sure, but until Hulu or Demi actually say something, it’s just speculation.
If anything changes, expect an announcement. Until then, treat the exit talk like what it is: noise without receipts.
