Whitney Leavitt is reportedly exiting the cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Leavitt allegedly made the announcement during her final performance as Roxie Hart in Broadway’s Chicago on Sunday, May 3.
“Whitney just read the headline in Chicago… Whitney Leavitt leaves Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” read a post from sports journalist Melanie Newman on X.
A Reddit post from an alleged audience member also made the same claim.
“At Whitney’s last performance tonight. While in character as Roxy. Officially announces she leaving SLOMW,” the post read. “The crowd went wild with cheering.”
In the musical, Roxie Hart reads a newspaper with the headline “ROXIE ROCKS CHICAGO” while addressing the audience about her desire to be famous.

Leavitt’s alleged announcement comes just two weeks after SLOMW season 5 resumed filming after taking a month-long hiatus in the wake of an alleged domestic violence incident between Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen.
People later confirmed that filming would resume without Paul and Mortensen, though there was no word on any of the other cast members.
Leavitt previously hinted at leaving the reality series to pursue other projects in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in March.
“I wouldn’t be where I am without [SLOMW],” Leavitt said at the time. “But it feels like it’s time to challenge myself in other ways and fulfill these dreams and passions that I’ve been trying to get even before the show.”
“I’m figuring it out in real time,” she added, noting that she and her husband, Connor Leavitt, were “figuring it out together.”
It is unclear if Leavitt, who began her Chicago run on Feb. 2, has filmed anything for the upcoming season.
Leavitt’s representative did not immediately respond to Parade’s request for comment.
