It turns out Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt had beef way before they hit the ballroom!
Perezcious readers have heard all about the smoke. After Jen got eliminated from Dancing With The Stars, she threw major shade at her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives co-star! During an Instagram Live, she revealed she would root for fellow contestants Andy Richter (who got eliminated this week) and Robert Irwin — but not Whitney. The TikToker wouldn’t say why, only teasing that fans “will have to wait for Season 3 of” the Hulu series to get the tea. The new season finally dropped on Thursday, and we did find out why they’re beefing! It’s messy, y’all!

Remember how Whitney and Jen were super close during Season 2? Whitney was really there for Jen as she battled prenatal depression. However, the second Jen took a break from the group, the MomTok villain allegedly ghosted her! Whoa! Jen shared in a confessional:
“I’m really conflicted with my relationship with Whitney because a couple of months ago, she really was the only person that was there for me during the lowest point of my life, but the minute I left MomTok, I never heard from her.”
And to rub salt in the wound? Jen said Whitney “became best friends with” Demi Engemann, who was “bullying” her during the darkest period of her life. Oof. We can see why Jen is upset! Whitney not only ditched her but also befriended her enemy. That’s breaking some serious girl code.
Jen wasn’t going to let it slide, though. She confronted Whitney during the new season, telling her former friend:
“I feel like you’re just gone… I did feel like it was transactional on your end.”
However, Whitney didn’t agree. She fired back:
“Wow, that is like… I don’t even know how to relate to that.”
Jen then accused Whitney of using her to get back into MomTok:
“It’s only what’s convenient for you. You’re there for me if it’s convenient for you, to get back into MomTok.”
Ouch! Brutal! Of course, Whitney denies it — and made sure viewers knew she was offended by the accusation, saying:
“I’m so done with it. It’s so delusional.”
Despite Whitney’s dismissal, Jen wasn’t backing down. She continued to argue:
“If you were really there for me and you weren’t just using me to get back into MomTok, why would you then become friends with Demi, the one person that was bullying me during that time.”
Whitney insisted she had no clue what Demi did to Jen. Well, the 26-year-old mom of three was happy to list it out. She brought up Demi’s TikToks about her and her marriage, while”trying to get the whole group to turn against me.” Jen added:
“I’m just saying I expected more from you.”
Whitney blames Jen for the falling out! She maintains she only became close to Demi after Zac Affleck’s wife “ghosted” her! Yeesh…
Ultimately, the pair didn’t resolve anything. And Jen made it clear she’s still hurt in a confessional, saying:
“I definitely think Whitney is only here for herself and her own opportunities, and that our friendships within the group were actually never real or genuine to her.”
Whitney won’t deny it! Even she admitted her fight with Jen is a prime example as to why she didn’t want to come back — but there’s an opportunity she couldn’t pass on:
“This is exactly why I didn’t want to come back, but there’s this amazing opportunity, Dancing With The Stars, and it’s something that I want. So I’m going to go after it, and there’s no shame.”
Sooo, they were fighting throughout DWTS?! We guess that explains Whitney’s rude reaction to Jen’s elimination! Damn!
