摩门教TikTok妈妈发声批“伪善”反对：“我们都不是圣徒”
摩门教妻子李安·梅（Liann May）在最近的一段TikTok视频中回应了对她家人的“伪善”批评，这些批评源自新Hulu真人秀剧集预告片播出后。
她解释说，这些评论显得「伪善」：「我们都不是圣徒。」
在视频中，May表示，这些评论者认为她的家庭应该与教会分开，因为不够摩门教。她还补充道：「有很多教会成员也犯了错误，没人是完美的。」
接着，她建议人们先审视自己再做判断：「不要急着指责别人，先看看自己的表现吧。」
视频下方，许多粉丝对她表示支持，并称她的讲话非常有力。
原文摘要：
The mom of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul is speaking out over the “hypocritical” backlash her family has received after the trailer for the upcoming Hulu reality series aired. In a TikTok video posted earlier this week, Liann May spoke up about the criticism she’s noticed online and explained why it’s “contradicting” to the beliefs of the Mormon church. “What really makes me irritated recently, I see all the backlash from them, the comments they receive on social media… I recently received one that I thought was very interesting and contradicting,” she said in the video. “They stated that we, my family and I, should distance ourselves from being with the church and being Mormon because we’re not Mormon enough.” ‘MORMON MOMTOK’ INFLUENCER ACCUSED OF DOMESTIC RAMPAGE AGREES TO PLEA: ‘A LOT OF JUDGING’ “That’s pretty hypocritical… and stating other things, like these don’t align with the teachings. Well, neither does that. For someone to come to say that I shouldn’t be a member of the church because I’m not Mormon enough or I sin. Let me tell you, a lot of things happen in the church and a lot of sins are committed every single day. Nobody is perfect,” she added.

May and a rep for the show did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Nobody is perfect.” “Preach! We don’t sit in church on Sunday because we’re perfect, we sit there because we are all broken!,” one fan commented. “This is the exact thing I wish more people would understand,” another wrote. “And not to mention the show hasn’t even aired yet. So who knows!” The remarks come shortly after the trailer for the upcoming reality show aired. Paul sent shock waves through the TikTok world in 2022 when she announced her divorce from now ex-husband Tate Paul and shared more of their “soft swinging” lifestyle, which included some of the friends featured in her videos.

Faith, friendship and reputations are all on the line. Will #MomTok be able to survive and continue to give the rulebook a run for its money, or will this group fall from grace?” “I love the Mormon church, but there are a lot of rules that we have to follow,” Mikayla Matthews said during a confessional interview. “We were raised to be these housewives for the men, serving their every desire.” “Well, I’m like, f— this,” Paul said before a video montage played clips from her TikTok days. “I created MomTok. It’s a group of Mormon moms making TikToks. It started with Whitney [Leavitt], Mayci [Neeley], Mikayla [Matthews] and I.” “We’re breaking a norm,” Leavitt said. “We’re trying to change a stigma of gender roles in the Mormon culture.” TIKTOK MORMON WIVES’ SWINGERS LIFESTYLE EXPOSED BY MOM WHO ‘HIT ROCK BOTTOM’ The women “blew up” overnight and went from a few million followers to nine million in no time, simply from their group dance routines and relatable comic sketches.
