Watch: 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Star Chase McWhorter Addresses DUI, Cocaine Possession Arrest

Chase McWhorter is clearing the air about his past.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star—who was married to MomTok member Miranda McWhorter from 2017 until 2024—broke his silence on reports that he was arrested back in July for a DUI and cocaine possession, which was confirmed in court documents obtained by Us Weekly.

"Time to address the elephant in the room," Chase started a video posted to TikTok Dec. 4. "And I don’t have a PR person, so we’re just gonna rawdog this s--t. The reports you saw yesterday that came out about what happened on July 4 with me are true."

"I was pulled over for driving under the influence, had ingested substances that I shouldn’t have and got behind the wheel of a car,” he continued. “Extremely shortsighted, selfish and dangerous decision. And shout-out to the cop for helping people stay safe on the road, because it could have ended much worse than it did."

The 30-year-old—who shares kids Brooks, 6, and Cohen, 4, with Miranda—went on to explain that the incident happened when he was driving home after a fight had broken out at a friend's pool party.

"I should have Ubered, but for some reason, I decided to drive home, and that decision alone kills people every single day," he confessed. "I understand the severity of it. Obviously, it was a humiliating low being pulled over and taken in. Terrible look for me."

Chase went on to say he has "an inward problem" and made sure to note that his arrest was "not a reflection of my parents." He also told Miranda the day after the incident, which was not the first time he let her down.

"Unfortunately, I have been a disappointment to [Miranda] a number of times throughout the time she’s known me, both as a partner and now as a coparent,” he explained. "So, that sucks."

The TikToker also revealed that he is working with an attorney and warned his followers that he had a beer advertisement coming out that was already in the works before he was arrested for a DUI so that they didn't think he was making light of the situation.

"I am deeply regretful of the decision that I made, and sorry for how it looks, and to everyone that was on the road that day, because obviously that is how people lose lives," Chase said. "So extremely sorry about all of it and disappointed damn near everybody around me because of that choice, and I’m dealing with those consequences as well as, you know, anything that happens legally beyond that."

"So, apologies," he ended his video. "I wanted you to hear it from me that it did happen, and it won’t happen again. I’m sorry."
