Mikayla Matthews has clarified why she stopped filming The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. She says she agreed to Season 6 on the condition that a certain cast member would not return. When she learned that person was coming back, she stepped away. Mikayla did not name Taylor Frankie Paul in that statement, but People reports Taylor was invited back. I break down what Mikayla actually confirmed.

Plus, the women hit the Dancing With the Stars ballroom: Maura Higgins impresses, Sarah Jane Nader goes home, and Julia Stiles gets the last word on Andy Cohen’s critique. Macklemore’s removal from Ed Sheeran’s tour prompts four supporting acts to withdraw.

In Quick Yaps: Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer has a new memoir—and Buckingham Palace has responded to one of his claims; Melissa McCarthy plays Patsy Ramsey in an upcoming Netflix limited series; Jack Antonoff jokes about a badly timed song request; Kandi Burruss responds to Todd Tucker; and Lena Dunham welcomes a daughter.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is back. I’m watching the premiere today and will report back tomorrow.
