Summary
In this solo episode of After Reality, I’m coming off a very glamorous Mother’s Day — and by glamorous, I mean I did absolutely nothing. I sat in silence, recharged, binge-watched an intense Peacock crime drama, and then immediately needed to cleanse my nervous system with Farmer Wants a Wife. Honestly, my kind of holiday.
I’m also sharing more about the beautiful response to my Mother’s Day episode with my 98-year-old Grandma Angie, and why it made me want to open up about something much more personal: the disappearance of my Aunt Elaine Robertson, who went missing in Mount Rainier National Park in the 1970s.
Then we get into the mess. Taylor Frankie Paul’s never-ending battle continues, and I’m breaking down the latest back-and-forth with Mikayla Matthews, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fallout, the questions around loyalty, boundaries, and whether Taylor is unraveling in real time. And yes — will she go live again?
I’m also talking about what feels missing from ABC’s summer reality lineup, plus Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jenn Tran joining the new reality show Reality Retreat.
And because this episode somehow has even more range, I’m getting into Spencer Pratt’s mayoral debate moment. I used to run in the same circles as Spencer, and I’m sharing why I’m not surprised he showed up fired up, sharp, and ready to talk fire safety, law enforcement, homelessness, and the future of Los Angeles.
It’s Mother’s Day, family secrets, Mormon Wives drama, Bachelor Nation news, politics, and a little reality TV chaos — exactly how we like it.
