Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has some fruity pebbles for its viewers. In the third episode of the series, Whitney Leavitt, who has already established herself as a somewhat villainous character so far, presented a large box of fruity pebbles cereal to her co-star Demi Engemann. So, what does that mean?
In the same episode, Demi disclosed some private details about her sex life with her husband Bret to Whitney, who allegedly shared these details with the other women and some producers.
During an interview segment of the episode, Whitney told the producers that the fruity cereal was related to taste and laughed about the situation. However, she was unaware that Demi was deeply upset by her decision to reveal these intimate aspects of her life.
To make things worse, Whitney gave Demi a box of fruity pebbles at their Galentine’s Day celebration, but Demi did not appreciate the joke. In an interview segment, Demi expressed her frustration, emphasizing how upset she was. She also explained that the issue was not trivial, noting that Whitney’s attempt to disclose a deeply private matter between her and Bret was hurtful.
Demi felt that such personal information should have remained confidential, and she was dismayed that it was shared publicly and on national television.
Despite that, she allegedly admitted to having a particular fetish related to the sugary, Flintstones-endorsed product, though no additional specific details were provided. It seems that Whitney intended the gift as a playful prank.
Let’s go beyond the metaphor of fruity pebbles
A September 10, 2024 report by Betches gave a backdrop of the incident surrounding the fruity pebbles. When Whitney, Mayci, and Mikayla prepared for Demi’s Galentine’s party, Whitney and Mayci updated Mikayla on a private story Demi shared during a MomTok influencer trip in California.
The fruity cereal incident involves a non-traditional s*x practice that Demi and her husband engaged in, using colorful cereal.
According to Mayci’s recollection, Demi even had Bret confirm the intimate details over the phone, unaware that the other women were listening. When Mikayla inquired about the specifics, Whitney whispered the answer inaudible.
People magazine reported on September 13, 2024 that Demi and her husband have been in disagreement over discussing private details of her intimate life. She added that there was tension between her and Bret over the Fruity Pebbles situation. While Bret wasn't necessarily upset, he said he supported her for being open about their private life.
Demi admitted to feeling guilty, as if she had betrayed Bret. She agreed that it was her who initially brought up the topic, but is bothered by how Whitney handled the situation, finding it somewhat inappropriate.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives explores the lives of non-traditional Mormon social media influencers Taylor Frankie Paul, Demi Engemann, Jennifer Affleck, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, and Whitney Leavitt as they navigate their friendships, careers, and family dynamics.
