Layla Taylor EXCLUSIVE: The Truth She's Finally Ready To Share

What was said

"There was time periods that I was borrowing money from family, and I would be grocery shopping and I would buy $30 worth of groceries for the whole week, and my kids would get food, but I would eat like their scraps after 'cause I couldn't afford to buy that. And I was getting eviction notices plopped on my door."

Taylor revealed severe financial hardship following her divorce, including receiving eviction notices and being unable to afford food for herself while filming Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. She hid this struggle from castmates out of shame, keeping up appearances while facing potential homelessness. This occurred before the show brought her financial stability.
