Whitney Leavitt’s husband, Conner, was on Tinder
Fair warning: the dialogue of Whitney Leavitt’s husband’s Tinder scandal delves into severe, upsetting subjects together with sexual assault and youngster abuse.
So, as you may see detailed within the TikTookay video under, Whitney and Conner had their very own scandal alongside the broader Mormon MotherTookay drama of Taylor Frankie Paul and others.

Why was Whitney Leavitt’s husband on Tinder?
The extra vital difficulty was why, if he was allegedly feeding an “habit” and never searching for a hookup, Conner was utilizing a relationship app in any respect. Not the motive — however the root trigger.
