MomTok Star Exposes a Past That’s Anything But Saintly
Mayci Neeley, known to millions as one of the devout “saints” on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” is shattering her public image with a shockingly honest new memoir, “Told You So.” Neeley admits her on-screen reflection is “funny to me, because I definitely have a past that wouldn’t give ‘saint.’”
Unfiltered and Raw Revelations
The book, releasing Tuesday, is an open diary of her most vulnerable moments. Neeley revisits the tragic death of her son’s father, Arik Mack, who died in a car crash while she was pregnant—a story briefly touched on in the show. However, the memoir goes much deeper, traversing harrowing topics like cheating, alleged sexual and physical abuse, and battling depression and suicidal thoughts during her pregnancy.
Navigating Faith and Controversy
Neeley provides a firsthand account of her life from high school through her five years at Brigham Young University, recounting stories of partying and questioning the constraints of her faith. “I’m not a rule-breaker, but I’ve always been intrigued by things that are off-limits,” she writes, questioning the church’s rules on dating and morality.
Despite difficult conversations with church leaders that could have shaken her faith, Neeley credits her “thick skin” for helping her remain faithful. The title itself, “Told You So,” serves as a lesson to herself about learning from experience, even when it means facing harsh consequences. Fans can see Neeley on her book tour, which concludes in Salt Lake City this week.
