The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Chase McWhorter is pushing back hard on talk that he is currently wanted by police, insisting that any warrant tied to his name has already been handled. After a missed court appearance over a traffic case spiraled into viral claims that he was on the run, the reality personality has tried to walk fans through what actually happened. His message is simple: yes, there was legal trouble, but no, he says, there is no active arrest warrant hanging over him now.
The controversy has unfolded in real time across social media, gossip accounts, and fan forums, turning a routine traffic matter into a full‑blown storyline for the Hulu breakout. As clips of McWhorter partying before court and commentary about his driving record bounced around the internet, he moved to reclaim the narrative, framing the situation as a misunderstanding that has since been resolved.
How a Traffic Case Turned Into Talk of a Warrant
The chain of events started with a relatively low‑level case that would not normally leave the reality‑TV bubble buzzing. Reports linked to Chase describe a missed court appearance tied to driving issues, including allegations of a suspended or revoked license. Coverage of the case said a judge responded by issuing a $500 bench warrant after he failed to show, a standard move in many traffic dockets but one that sounds far more dramatic once it hits TikTok and Instagram.
From there, the narrative snowballed. A clip shared on Instagram framed the situation bluntly, telling followers that a Warrant was now out for his arrest and tying the case to allegations of speeding and a suspended license. Another reel leaned into the drama, saying that after a warrant was issued, Chase showed up in court and was arraigned, turning a procedural update into another viral beat in the saga.
Party Footage, “Troubled” Labels, and a Reality‑TV Pile‑On
What really lit the fuse was the timing. As the legal case simmered, footage surfaced of McWhorter out partying shortly before he was due in court, a detail that critics seized on as proof he was not taking the situation seriously. One tabloid‑style report described him as a Troubled Mormon Wives star who was hit with an arrest warrant after being seen out just hours before the hearing, casting the whole episode as a morality play about fame and responsibility. The same outlet tied the storyline back to The Secret Lives of The Hulu series, underscoring how quickly a traffic docket can become content when a streamer is involved.
Fan accounts piled on, dissecting every frame of the party clips and every line of the court records. One reel narrated how, after the warrant, Chase went back to court and was arraigned, while another repeated that a Warrant was out over alleged speeding and license issues. The tone in many of these posts was less legal analysis and more reality‑TV recap, with creators treating the docket like another episode of Mormon Wives.
Chase McWhorter’s Pushback and What He Says Is True Now
Faced with that swirl of commentary, McWhorter has tried to reset expectations, telling followers that the most sensational version of the story is out of date. In a video shared to his own feed, Chase said he was “setting the record straight” and denied that there is a warrant currently active for his arrest. Coverage of that clip notes that he acknowledged the earlier legal missteps but framed the warrant as something that had already been addressed once he appeared in court.
Longer write‑ups of his response emphasize that he is not pretending the underlying conduct never happened. One report on Mormon Wives notes that Chase addressed the missed appearance and the suspended or revoked license allegations directly, while another recap of The Secret Lives of Shuts Down Arrest underscores that he is trying to separate past mistakes from the claim that he is currently wanted.
