Jen Affleck apologized to Whitney Leavitt following their latest fallout. Their disagreement began after Jen’s husband, Zac Affleck, made a crude comment about Whitney’s husband, Conner Leavitt.
Their past disagreements resurfaced in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, where Jen admitted that jealousy had influenced her behavior.

According to PEOPLE, the disagreement began after Zac responded to a TikTok comment complimenting his hair. His reply appeared to direct the commenter toward Conner’s page. Whitney then messaged Jen, criticizing the apparent reference to Conner’s sexual abuse. She clarified that her objection concerned the joke’s intent, not homosexuality.
“I don’t care what you say about me, but bringing up Conner’s sexual abuse and making jokes or comments tied to that crosses a serious f**king boundary,” Whitney wrote. She warned that she had addressed the matter privately, but would take it public if the behavior continued.
During the Las Vegas girls’ trip, Jen read Whitney’s message to Mayci Neeley and Mikayla Matthews. She admitted avoiding social media amid backlash over their earlier feud. However, she acknowledged that Whitney had every right to feel hurt and decided to meet with her.
During their conversation, Jen admitted that she had envied Whitney and Conner’s relationship while both women competed on Dancing with the Stars. “I do feel a lot of what I was envious of during Dancing with the Stars was honestly you and Conner’s relationship,” she said.
Jen also made it clear that she was tired of defending Zac’s gambling, dishonesty, and treatment of others. “I’m not defending you anymore,” she said, referring to her husband.
Jen also apologized for allowing Zac to attend an earlier meeting with Whitney instead of showing up herself after her elimination. Their latest conversation took place at the same restaurant where Whitney and Zac had previously argued. Jen also regretted failing to recognize Whitney’s support during one of her darkest periods. In a confessional, she admitted that Whitney and Conner’s marriage reflected the relationship she had wanted with Zac.
Whitney accepted the apology without reopening old wounds. “I don’t hold any resentment towards you. I’ve moved on. I’ve forgiven you. That chapter is closed. We’re moving on. Everything’s good, so forgive yourself,” she said.
