Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Star Chase McWhorter Breaks Silence on DUI Arrest

Reality TV apologies are usually media-trained and sanded down to nothing. Not this one. Chase McWhorter, who appears on Hulu's 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' and is the ex-husband of cast member Miranda McWhorter, posted a blunt video on Thursday owning his July 4, 2025 arrest and apologizing for it.

'Time to address the elephant in the room. I don't have a PR person, so we're just gonna rawdog this s---.'

In the video, McWhorter says he was pulled over for driving under the influence after taking substances he should not have, and he calls the decision selfish and dangerous. He explains that a fight broke out at a party earlier that night; thinking his place was only a few miles away, he drove himself instead of calling an Uber. He now says that kind of choice is exactly what gets people hurt, and he gets how serious it is.

He describes the arrest as a humiliating low, emphasizes it is not a reflection of how his parents raised him, and admits it feels awful to disappoint Miranda as a co-parent. He adds that he is working through the legal fallout with an attorney and will deal with the consequences. He also thanks the officers for doing their jobs and apologizes to anyone he put at risk. McWhorter is 30.

Where the charges stand

Early coverage characterized one count as cocaine possession. According to Us Weekly's breakdown of the court filing, the formal charges are three misdemeanors and a set bail:

• Possession of a controlled substance (early reports described it as cocaine)
• Driving under the influence
• Driving on a suspended or revoked license
• Bail set at $2,500

For a reality star, this was unusually unvarnished. There is still a legal process ahead, but in terms of public accountability, he skipped the standard playbook and just said it: he messed up, and he knows it.
