Here’s the real reason Jessi is quitting social media after Mormon Wives
She had to take a serious step back
Okay, so Jessi’s time on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season three was absolutely wild, like, totally emotionally exhausting.
After all the drama, the kiss stuff, and very public relationship tension, she posted a tearful video saying she’s going off social media for a while.
It feels less like a stunt and more like a real ‘I gotta breathe’ moment. She’s not running away… she’s protecting her headspace.
Jessi had a hectic season three
Seriously, season three was a lot. Jessi came clean about an emotional affair with Marciano Brunette (yes, that Marciano from Vanderpump Villa), she admits they kissed twice.
She says there was no sex, and Marciano later did a lie detector test where he confirmed that, per Reality Tea.
But it wasn’t just about him, Jessi also opened up about her marriage to Jordan. She described parts of it as emotionally abusive, calling out behaviour like name-calling and constant tension.
They even did a 90-day separation, which they talk about on the show.
And yeah, things got messy in front of everyone. At one point, Jessi read out texts between her and Marciano in front of the cast, partly to show they never slept together, according to her. All of this filmed drama clearly weighed on her.

So after all that, Jessi dropped a really emotional video on Instagram this November saying she needs some space, reported Bustle.
She said between reading the comments and seeing all the speculation, it’s just not helping her mental health right now.
She thanked people who’ve supported her, but also said she feels “a little bit hopeless” and needs to step back for “my sanity.”
On top of that, she subtly changed things on her social media, dropping her married name, Ngatikaura, and going back to Draper on Instagram and TikTok.
She and Jordan are reportedly trying to work through stuff, per Parade. He’s in therapy, she’s healing, and they seem to be taking this very seriously, especially now that the season aired and all the public eyes are on her.
