Aspyn Ovard Taking Social Media Break After Mormon Wives: OC Debut

Aspyn Ovard is protecting her peace.

Ahead of the Nov. 12 premiere of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, the YouTuber announced she was stepping back from social media, admitting how difficult it was to see the aspects of her life she’d previously kept private on the Hulu series.

“This week will be really hard for me,” Ovard wrote on her Instagram Stories Nov. 10. “I’m saying goodbye to the internet being the last piece of normalcy that i’ve had in my life for the last few years.”

“It’s very heavy and after today im taking the rest of the week off,” she continued, “maybe longer but i’ll need a break and i hope the world is gentle with my story.”

The 30-year-old—mom to daughters Cove, 7, Lola, 5, and Elle, 2, with ex-husband Parker Ferris—shared her statement alongside a screenshot of a direct message from a fan after they reacted to a selfie she posted on her Stories.

“Sweet girl you look sad,” the fan wrote, “sending you so much love and strength always but particularly this week.”
