Mikayla Matthews is fiercely defending her ex-husband, Jace Terry, after the hosts of The Toast podcast, Jackie and Claudia Oshry, declared Jace their "weenie of the week" in reference to the show Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Mikayla took to the comments section to slam their remarks.
"Jackie hates Jace," Claudia said with laughter in a recent episode of their podcast, which was shared on Instagram on March 20th. "Actually, people don't even know the extent of how much you really hate him. She sends me these crazy voice memos when she's watching the show, saying things like, 'You ugly little rat. Why are you the f--k away from your wife who just had a baby?' I f--king hate him."
Claudia added that "he doesn't get enough hate," and Jackie chimed in, "I just want him to shut the f--k up for a minute. Like, let your wife breathe."
Mikayla, who shares four children with Jace - Beckham, 8, Haven, 6, Tommie, 4, and Lottie June, 8 months - commented on the post, saying, "I hate this."
Days earlier, Mikayla announced that she and Jace were separated due to ongoing intimacy struggles. In a confessional from the ninth episode of the show's fourth season, Mikayla shared, "Jace and I stayed up all night talking about the pros and cons of separating. Between all of the MomTok drama and the pressure that I feel to get my marriage in a good place, I'm definitely reaching a breaking point. We both agreed to do a separation."
However, the 25-year-old noted that they don't see their conscious uncoupling as a permanent decision. "I feel like I've done a lot of therapy work already and my stuff is still bad," Mikayla told her husband of eight years as she packed her bags to stay with costar Mayci Neeley. "I don't think it's with the intention of being separated forever."
"I think we're obviously still gonna see each other every single day," she added. "I'm not trying to go even a day away from the kids anyway."
Recently, Mikayla shared an update on where she and Jace, 30, stand today. "Last season, we dove into the beginning stages of it," Mikayla told People in an article published on March 12th. "And that was me revisiting all this trauma for the first time as well."
As for their separation, "It's still new to me, and it's new to him, and we're just navigating it the best way that we can," she said. "Unfortunately, I think it's just something that's going to take a lot more time. I feel like that's all I can say on it now."
