Will MomTok Join Bluesky? The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
One of the biggest influencer phenomena of recent years has been MomTok—the community of Mormon mom influencers that spawned the hit Hulu series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The show turned creators like Taylor Frankie Paul, Whitney Leavitt, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Jennifer Affleck, Demi Engemann, Layla Taylor, and Mikayla Matthews into household names.
It wouldn't be surprising to see these influencers on Bluesky in 2026. Here's why:
- Platform diversification: Smart influencers don't put all their eggs in one basket
- New audience reach: Bluesky's demographic skews toward engaged, progressive users
- Less drama: Bluesky's moderation and culture may appeal after TikTok's chaos
- Early mover advantage: Being among the first major reality TV stars on Bluesky would generate buzz
- Authentic connection: The platform's culture rewards genuine engagement over performative content
Whether it's Taylor Frankie Paul sharing her journey, Whitney Leavitt connecting with fans, or the group launching collaborative content, MomTok on Bluesky could be the next big thing.
Controversial Creators and the Bluesky Pivot
When influencers face controversy on one platform, they often seek fresh starts elsewhere. Bluesky has become an attractive option for creators looking to rebuild their brands or find audiences more receptive to their content.
Take Clavicular, the TikTok creator who has faced his share of controversies. Like many influencers who've experienced platform turbulence, a pivot to Bluesky could offer:
- A fresh start with a new audience
- Less algorithmic punishment for past controversies
- Direct connection with supporters without platform interference
- Community building in a less hostile environment
This pattern—controversial creators seeking refuge on newer platforms—has played out repeatedly in social media history. Bluesky's growing user base makes it an increasingly viable destination.
