Whitney Leavitt finally addresses speculation she only auditioned for DWTS to copy Jen Affleck
She also revealed where they both stand with each other
Whitney Leavitt was hit with loads of backlash that she only auditioned for Dancing With The Stars to copy her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives co-star, Jen Affleck. It was a little random that two people from the same show were competing at the same time, to be fair.
She also revealed where they stand now on the Call Her Daddy podcast and said: “The relationship’s not great. I don’t really even know if there is one right now. There was a lot that happened while we were doing Dancing with the Stars. We were also filming Secret Life.”
“So, I know the audience is going to be able to see that story when that comes out next year,” Whitney added. As for the rumours that claimed Whitney copied Jen by going on DWTS? She said, “Um, that’s wild. I always wanted to be a part of this show.”

Whitney continued: “I think that everybody can have the same dream. Everyone can have the same goal and we just happen to have the same dream and the same goal. And I’m so happy that we both got to do that.” And when Jen was eliminated first, she threw shade.
Jen done a MomTok live and said: “I would be rooting for a former MomTok person, but we won’t be getting into that.” And Whitney wasn’t happy about it at all, obviously. She responded: “Jen understands what it’s like being in the public eye, being in the reality space.”

Whitney added: “Getting the hate… She’s experienced it. So, I mean, it sucked. It didn’t feel great that she fed into that, that she decided to go on a live and say, ‘Yeah, I’m not going to vote for her.’ I mean, she could have just said who she was voting for.”
“She didn’t need to say who she wasn’t voting for. And then to go and press like, there’s definitely more story there. I just think feelings were hurt and on both sides and there wasn’t a mutual understanding, but I can tell you what I didn’t do,” Whitney revealed.
