Miranda Hope breaks silence on ex-husband and co-star kiss

Miranda Hope has opened up about a personal betrayal involving her ex-husband and a close friend.

The MomTok star and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast member addressed the situation after it was revealed that her ex-husband, Chase McWhorter, shared a kiss with her co-star and friend, Jessi Draper.

Hope shared her thoughts in an exclusive statement to Entertainment Tonight, explaining how she first learned about the incident.

“Unfortunately, I am familiar with this territory. I knew there had been communication between Chase and Jessi but not to what extent,” she said.

“Then Chase was upfront and told me that they were talking and that they kissed. Jessi reached out only after she knew Chase had told me something was going on with them. And today, at the same time a rumor started spreading online that something was going on with Chase and Jessi, I received apology flowers from Jessi.”

Hope also clarified her current relationship with McWhorter.

“What I never want to get misconstrued is that there is not any emotional attachment to Chase,” she said.

“He is my co-parent. Although I do feel disrespected by Chase, I feel slighted by my friend. Chase and I are no longer partners, and while I have a high expectation of him as a co-parent, I also hold my friends to a high standard and believe in girl code.”

Despite the betrayal, Hope said she is staying focused on her children.

“With everything going on and all the chaos, I am just focusing on my kids. As unfortunate as the film break is and then also this betrayal, I’m going to try and focus on my kids and reground myself. I am processing it and moving forward,” she concluded.
