The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, a reality series on Disney+, sparked controversy over a game of ‘pregnancy roulette’. The game, a TikTok trend, involved each cast member taking a pregnancy test and revealing results anonymously, which caused distress for cast member Demi Engemann who had been open about her fertility struggles and endometriosis diagnosis. The event led to strong online reactions, with some viewers questioning the intentions of the producers. However, Jessi Ngatikaura and Whitney Leavitt, stars of the show, defended the game, stating it was not prompted by producers and was intended to be a fun activity.
