The latest accusations directed at Paul have emerged from Makenna Gibbons, an individual who was initially involved in the scandal but did not feature in the first season of the reality series. Gibbons’ re-entry into the narrative has reignited discussions about the implications of their actions and the secrets that were revealed during this tumultuous period.

On November 25, Gibbons shared a detailed five-part video series on her TikTok account, where she recounted her and her then-husband’s brief involvement in the so-called “soft-swinging” MomTok scandal. Her revelations shed light on the complexities of the situation, as she attempted to clarify her role and the nature of their participation, which had been misrepresented in various narratives circulating online.

In her videos, Gibbons disclosed that their encounters were with an unnamed couple. However, through various exchanges, it became clear that the couple in question was Paul and her then-husband, as the two began to trade accusations and share evidence regarding their experiences over the following days. This back-and-forth has added layers of intrigue and drama to an already sensational story.

In her initial video, Gibbons candidly acknowledged, “We did swap partners, and soft-swinging occurred.” She elaborated on how the dynamics changed for her when she began to notice that her husband might be developing feelings for Paul, which introduced significant tension into their relationship and highlighted the emotional complexities of open relationships.

Gibbons further recounted that her husband admitted to her that he and Paul had a strong connection, saying, “We both acknowledge that we get along really well and that things might develop.” Despite this acknowledgment, they both expressed their commitment to their marriages and decided against pursuing any deeper relationship, showcasing the struggles of balancing emotional boundaries in non-traditional relationships.

Following their initial encounter, Gibbons recounted that after the second and final encounter, she confronted her husband, stating, “If this is what you want then we can divorce now, because I won’t participate.” This strong statement underscores the emotional stakes involved and her unwillingness to compromise her values for the sake of an open arrangement.

Gibbons also claimed that she later contacted the female counterpart of the couple, only to discover that not only had her husband kissed Paul, but they had also engaged in sexual intercourse. This revelation added another layer of betrayal to the already complicated web of relationships, emphasizing the emotional fallout from their actions.

She further alleged that a friend informed her of the physical intimacy between Paul and her husband, revealing that the couple had reportedly been meeting secretly for some time, expressing love for one another, and had intentions to leave their spouses for each other. This shocking turn of events has amplified the drama surrounding the scandal and raised questions about the nature of fidelity in open relationships.

Paul seemed to confirm parts of Gibbons’ narrative when she initially unveiled the “soft-swinging” MomTok scandal back in June 2022. At that time, as reported by People, she mentioned that she and her husband had an agreement in their open relationship to “not go all the way” or develop emotional attachments. This admission showcases the often-unspoken rules that govern non-traditional relationships and the potential for misunderstandings.

However, she later confessed that she “did step out of that agreement” and even fell in love with one of the husbands involved in the swinging dynamics. If this husband was indeed Gibbons’, it aligns with Gibbons’ claim that they had professed their love for one another, highlighting the emotional complications that can arise in open relationships.

On September 4 of this year, Paul spoke to The Viall Files, explaining that she decided to speak out publicly after noticing several other MomTok members referring to her as a “cheater” and “husband stealer.” She admitted that she did not fully consider the repercussions of exposing the entire group but felt compelled to counteract that narrative, demonstrating the intense pressure and scrutiny individuals face in the public eye.

“So I went online, not thinking at all, but like, ‘Hey yes, I did do this, but we were also all hooking up just the other night,’” she stated. This candid admission illustrates the chaotic reality of their interactions and the blurred lines that often define such relationships.

“It just didn’t feel fair,” she added at the time. “There was much more to the story than just I’m some kind of homewrecker.” This statement reflects her desire to provide context to her actions and illustrate the complexities of her situation.

Once again, it appears that Paul is ready to share “more to the story” in response to Gibbons’ initial five-part exposé about her experiences. While Gibbons may not have named Paul explicitly, the implications were clear, drawing attention to the ongoing tensions between the two women.

In her first TikTok response, Paul directly challenged some of Gibbons’ claims, stating that Gibbons “never asked to stop” the “soft-swinging” that was occurring. In fact, she claimed that Gibbons “was one of the instigators and sent HER husband to get me, but tell your side sis.” This assertion exemplifies the back-and-forth nature of their feud and the conflicting narratives that have emerged.

As La Roux’ “Bulletproof” played in the background, she followed up with a video of her dancing with one of her friends, alongside footage of her and Gibbons kissing and laughing. This playful content was juxtaposed with a text message exchange that seemed to suggest Gibbons was fully onboard with the dynamics at play, further complicating the narrative.

Gibbons responded to Paul’s video with yet another TikTok, where she produced her own receipts, naming names and pushing back against the claims made by Paul. This response not only highlighted the ongoing tension but also revealed a more extensive context to their interactions, demonstrating the complexities of their shared experiences.

She also shared another text conversation with Paul from that time, expressing her discomfort with being portrayed as bisexual, which she is not. Gibbons now finds it peculiar that Paul used video footage of them kissing as part of her own justification, indicating the conflicting narratives and personal boundaries at play.

Paul responded yet again with even greater detail in another follow-up video, claiming that Gibbons’ explanation of her April receipts did not align with a group trip they all planned in May, where they were supposedly still discussing their boundaries. This contradiction highlights the ongoing complexity and confusion surrounding their shared experiences.

“It’s frustrating when they’re all coming out to tell the truth, and it’s a little bit of, ‘I didn’t really want to do it,’ ‘I wanted to stop,’ ‘I wasn’t enjoying it,’” Paul expressed in her latest TikTok. “They enjoyed it!” This commentary reveals her frustration with the narrative being spun and the selective memory surrounding their experiences.

Paul asserted that it was her ex who initiated the couples’ gatherings and expressed the desire to end them — not Gibbons, contradicting her claims from the start of this saga. This assertion complicates the narratives further and raises questions about accountability and truth in their shared experiences.

“I owned my part; why can’t they own willingly doing it and never voiced to stop?” Paul questioned in the caption of her video, suggesting her frustration with the lack of accountability from others involved, while implying that this would be her final commentary on the matter.

We will have to see if either Paul or Gibbons will stick to their claims moving forward, as the saga continues to unfold.

Paul is expected to return when The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premieres its second season, offering viewers another chance to delve into the complexities of her life. Gibbons, meanwhile, has stated in her videos that she has been invited multiple times to join the show but has declined each offer, indicating her desire to step back from the public eye.
