Mayci Neeley has had numerous story lines cut from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — including her reliving her past sexual assault.

During an exclusive interview for the newest issue of Us Weekly, Mayci, 30, expressed gratitude for how her memoir, Told You So, has allowed her to address topics that she hasn’t always had the platform to share with an audience.

“Now that the book is coming out, I can share more of my story. Because I only got to share [on the show] stuff about [my son’s father] Arik — which I was super grateful for — since that’s what matters most to me,” she explained. “Sharing that part of my story is the hardest part for me to deal with to this day.”

Mayci also struggled with a past relationship with a guy she referred to as “Dick” in her memoir. Throughout the novel, Mayci revealed she experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse and more trauma while dating Dick in college.

“For a while, the hardest part for me was dealing with the abuse that I dealt with and my sexual assault. So I brushed over it when I was filming for season 1 but it was all cut out of the show. I wish it wasn’t because I went back to the place where I got sexually assaulted and talked about different stories that happened to me there,” Mayci shared about the “very traumatic and heavy” experience. “But there’s so many women that can relate to that. I feel like it humanizes the show.”

The reality star, who has been on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives since it premiered in 2024, is hopeful she will get a platform to elaborate on her experience in future seasons.

“There is so much more to it than what was shown on the show,” Mayci added. “Maybe then we can capture that on the show and give perspective and show a different light to the situation. I’ve always wanted to work on projects to help other women. I hope that maybe this can be a door to open that for me.”

While reflecting on past attempts to shine a light on screen, Mayci admitted that seeing the conversations end up on the cutting room floor wasn’t easy, saying, “It’s very traumatic and going back to certain places — knowing they can get cut — is hard. Sometimes it is hard to watch because we have real stories and I’m so glad that they were able to show them in season 2.”

Mayci has since learned to create more boundaries when addressing her personal life.

“So now when I go into certain things that may be traumatic, I tell them, “I’m not sure I want to do this because I’m not sure if you’re going to cut it out.’ I feel like I’m more aware to protect my peace now with what I want to do and what I don’t want to do,” she shared with Us. “The show, though, is so successful for a reason so I also trust what they’re doing. I can’t be mad at the same time for that reason.”

Told You So ultimately became a place for Mayci to show sides of herself that haven’t been explored yet on screen — and offered her the place to rework through past trauma.

Told You So is out on October 7.

Kaitlyn Bristowe is pushing hard for an Are You My First? reunion.

“I might have to take it into my own hands and just do it on my podcast or my YouTube, because I need a reunion so bad,” Bristowe, 40, told Us Weekly exclusively at the “LadyGang” podcast’s LadyWorld festival in Miramar Beach, Florida, this past weekend.

The former Bachelorette star quipped that she wishes “people would just trust me on this one” because, as the host of the Hulu show, she has the inside scoop.

“The tea that has happened since filming to now, and the information I have received,” Bristowe teased. “I’m in the girl group chat with the cast, and I’m just like, this is where the TV magic is everybody.”

Are You My First? season 1 — which Bristowe noted was “epic television” — premiered in August with her as the host alongside fellow Bachelor Nation alum Colton Underwood. The show followed a group of virgin singles looking for love, which is where the title comes from.

“I loved every second of it,” Bristowe said about the show. “If we had a reunion, it would sell season 2.”

‘Are You My First?’ Couples Status Check: Who Is Still Together?

Bristowe, who previously hosted two seasons of The Bachelorette, told Us that Are You My First? was a whole other beast.

“The Bachelorette hosting experience was a lot more intense because I had really big shoes to fill,” she explained. “To step in, I was like, ‘I’ve never done this before.’ I was reading a teleprompter while having an in-ear and having to cut for a commercial break. And I was like, ‘This is hard work.’”

Are You My First? was, well, “a first for everybody” — which was the major difference for Bristowe.

“It was their first time on TV. Somebody’s having their first kiss. I’m having my first season of a show. So it didn’t feel as much of a responsibility and pressure,” Bristowe explained. “It was like, well, whatever we make this, that’s what it is. So, I felt like I could be a little more myself.”

Bristowe took her hosting skills to the stage at LadyWorld on Sunday, September 28, to share “confessions” (like on her “Off the Vine” podcast) with the crowd and sing some original songs for the first time ever.

“They are very personal,” Bristowe said of her songs. She took the stage on Sunday with “If I’m Being Honest,” which was dropped in 2020 and a separate tune she wrote but has yet to be released.

“When I was writing them, it was at such different times in my life for everything, but still, somehow, the lyrics apply to every point I’m at in my life,” she said. “That’s the beautiful thing about music, is people can write a song that means one thing to them, and somebody can listen to it, and it could mean something different to them. Everybody can relate to music or come together through music.”

When it comes to where she’s at in her personal life right now, Bristowe is staying tight-lipped for now.

“I’m in my private era,” she joked to Us. “I’m such an open book, so to keep one aspect of my life private when it comes to dating — which is the only thing I keep private — it feels really sacred and nice because my last two relationships felt so exposed.”

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiative (CDEDI) has urged President-elect Arthur Peter Mutharika to “hit the ground running” and immediately start addressing the crises Malawians have endured over the past six years.

In a congratulatory statement issued in Lilongwe on Thursday, October 2, 2025, CDEDI described Mutharika’s victory in the September 16 election as a clear protest vote against what it called the “gross incompetence and cluelessness” of President Lazarus Chakwera’s outgoing Malawi Congress Party (MCP) administration.

CDEDI said Malawians can no longer afford a leadership that indulges in a political honeymoon while the country grapples with fuel shortages, food insecurity, forex crises and unaffordable fertiliser.

The organisation stressed that the incoming Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government has a daunting task to restore sanity and decorum in the management of state affairs and deliver a government that treats the vulnerable with dignity and is trusted by citizens.

The organisation recommended bold steps for the incoming administration including granting a 30-day amnesty for those who looted public funds to return the money or face prosecution, changing the national currency within 60 days to compel hidden cash back into the banking system and reviewing all mining contracts signed under the previous regime to ensure that they serve the interests of Malawians rather than a privileged few.

CDEDI also called for a fresh inquiry into the June 10, 2024 Chikangawa plane crash that claimed the life of Vice-President Saulos Chilima and eight others, urging the government to provide the nation with the truth.

It further stressed the need to reform the sugar industry by addressing the dominance of Illovo and ensuring local companies like Salima Sugar Company can make vitamin A fortified sugar accessible to the majority of Malawians.

Highlighting the country’s fragile financial situation, CDEDI said Malawi is “technically bankrupt” following excessive borrowing under the outgoing administration and called for a high level team to be established to lobby for foreign debt cancellation.

The organisation argued that these measures are essential for restoring public confidence and reviving the economy.

CDEDI also implored the new government to recover resources it says were mercilessly plundered during the past six years, emphasizing that accountability must be upheld and those responsible must face justice.

The organisation insisted that Malawi has the resources to provide relief food and affordable fertiliser but what is lacking is honest leadership and seriousness in governance.

As Mutharika prepares for inauguration, CDEDI reminded him that the true value of the Malawian vote lies in holding leaders accountable and ensuring they cannot indulge in corruption or abuse the powers entrusted to them.

The watchdog group concluded that Malawians expect a government that acts decisively and prioritizes the well-being of citizens from day one.

MANCHESTER-(MaraviPost)-Wayne Rooney has delivered a stinging assessment of Manchester United under manager Ruben Amorim, claiming he no longer recognises the club he once captained and achieved legendary status with.

The former United striker, who won five Premier League titles and a Champions League medal at Old Trafford, expressed his disappointment over the direction of the club, saying Amorim has failed to inspire belief both in the squad and among supporters.

“I don’t recognise the whole football club.There’s no identity, no structure, no fight. I don’t see the passion that defined Manchester United when I played there.

“Honestly, I don’t have faith that Amorim is the man to turn it around,” Rooney said in an interview with British Media.

Amorim was appointed during the summer after United parted ways with Erik ten Hag but results have been far from convincing.

The team has struggled in the league, dropping crucial points and failing to establish consistency.

Rooney argued that the problems at Old Trafford go beyond individual players, suggesting a lack of clarity in coaching and strategy.

“You look at the performances, you look at the body language of the players and you have to ask yourself: what is the plan? Where are we going?” he questioned.

United fans, already frustrated by years of decline since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, have been divided over Amorim’s appointment.

Many had hoped his successful spell at Sporting Lisbon would translate into a fresh approach in Manchester but so far the optimism has faded.

Rooney’s comments add to the mounting pressure on Amorim, whose future is already being debated just months into his reign.

Critics argue that the club lacks not only a tactical identity but also the resilience that once made it the most feared side in England.

The ex-England captain urged the club hierarchy to reassess their long-term vision.

“The fans deserve better.This isn’t about one bad game or one bad season. It’s about what Manchester United stands for. And right now, I don’t see it,”he added.

While some supporters believe Amorim should be given time to rebuild, Rooney’s blunt remarks highlight the growing impatience surrounding Old Trafford.

After six Premier League matches, Manchester United find themselves in 14th position on the table with just seven points, having won two games, drawn once and lost three.

…..Eagles 0-3 Silver

By Edwin Mbewe

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The central Bankers have progressed to the 2025 FDH Bank Cup semifinals following their commanding 3-0 victory over holders Blue Eagles on Thursday at Nankhaka Stadium in the capital, Lilongwe.

Silver Strikers, which have just qualified for the second round of the CAF Champions League, showed their class over the home side and appeared tactically outmatched.

The Bankers controlled possession for the majority of the match.

Nickson Mwase opened the scoring in the 38th minute of the first half with a powerful header after receiving a long throw-in from right-back MacDonald Lameck.

Andrew Joseph and Zebron Kalima posed a constant threat to the home side, terrorizing the Eagles defense several times in the first half.

In the 13th minute, Joseph missed a clear chance for the Bankers when he received a beautiful delivery from MacDonald Lameck but fired his effort off target.

Eagles also came close to scoring on several occasions. In the 9th minute, the home side won a free kick close to the box following a foul by Nickson Mwase on Tonic Viyuyi.

Gustavo curved the ball into the box, but Mwase rescued his side with a brilliant clearance.

In the 36th minute, Eagles captain Gilbert Chirwa sustained a head injury following a collision with a Silver player, and play was paused.

Both sides kept pushing for goals until the whistle blew for the end of the first half.

In the second half, both teams started on a high note as they looked to book their place in the semifinals.

However, it was Eagles who won a corner kick in the 49th minute following a foul on John Banda by Nickson Mwase.

Banda struck the ball into the box, but it was well defended by Maxwell Paipi.

In search of goals, Eagles coach Deklek Msakakuona made his first substitution, bringing on Lanken Mwale for Micium Mhone, who seemed off the pace, in the 54th minute.

Silver Strikers doubled their lead through new signing Ernest Petro, who cleverly connected with a long pass from Nickson Mwase in the 57th minute.

The goal energized the visitors as they controlled the game, exchanging passes in their own half while penetrating in the attacking third.

As the match progressed, Nickson Mwase, who stood firm in Silver’s defense, got injured and play was temporarily paused as medics attended to him.

Silver head coach Peter Mgangira made a triple substitution as Zebron Kalima, Binwell Katinji, and Uchizi Vunga were replaced by Stain Davie, Chinsinsi Maonga, and Chikondi Kamanga.

His opposite number, Deklek Msakakuona, responded by introducing Andrew Mapemba and Webster Mzunda for Tonic Viyuyi and John Banda.

In the 77th minute, the home team won a free kick in Silver’s half.

Lanken Mwale took it quickly but the ball went off target.

Gilbert Chirwa was seriously injured again in the 82nd minute, and play was once more paused. The coach replaced him with Matias Nyirenda.

As part of their game management, Silver coach Mgangira made two more changes, taking off MacDonald Lameck and Andrew Joseph for Emmanuel Allan and Innocent Shema.

With these changes, the Bankers, who were humiliated by Eagles in the last edition of the cup when they were knocked out in the round of 16 ensured they never surrendered their lead and secured sweet revenge over the cops.

Just minutes later, Emmanuel Allan extended Silver’s lead, putting the game beyond reach for the reigning champions.

He beat Eagles’ defenders and goalkeeper before slotting the ball into the empty net in the 90+3 minute.

Soon after the goal, the final whistle blew, confirming that Eagles had been knocked out of the competition in the quarterfinals and that the Bankers had opened their FDH Bank Cup semifinals account.

Reacting to the defeat, Blue Eagles head coach Deklek Msakakuona acknowledged the result, saying it was a difficult game in which his team struggled in many areas.

He promised to rectify their weaknesses ahead of league games and other cup competitions.

Silver Strikers head coach Peter Mgangira praised his players for their fighting spirit and for following instructions.

“We are happy we have won today and progressed to the semifinals. The boys gave their best. We will see where we finish, but we can’t talk about the championship yet,” he said.

In other quarterfinals, Check Sporting Club will play against Mighty Wanderers at Dimba Stadium in Mchinji, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets will take on Kamuzu Barracks, and Civil Service United FC will face rookies Mchinji Villa FC.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Deputy President Abida Sidik Mia has strongly denied allegations that she was involved in the removal of an electricity transformer belonging to ESCOM.

Mia, who previously served as Member of Parliament for Chikwawa–Nkombedzi and as Minister of Water and Sanitation in President Lazarus Chakwera’s administration, described the claims as politically motivated and aimed at tarnishing her reputation.

She insisted that no individual, including herself, has authority over ESCOM property, which is managed independently by the power utility.

“These are baseless accusations and nothing more than smear politics,” Mia said.

She further assured the public that she would ensure the truth comes to light and that justice prevails.

Reflecting on her record as a legislator, Mia emphasized that her work focused on delivering development projects rather than interfering with utility infrastructure.

“As Member of Parliament, my role was to bring development such as classrooms, hospitals, markets, police units, and other social amenities,” she explained.

She stressed that her service was centered on uplifting communities and improving people’s lives, not on undermining public institutions like ESCOM.

Mia expressed disappointment that political opponents were resorting to fabrications in an attempt to discredit her leadership.

She called on Malawians to reject divisive politics and instead focus on development and unity.

Her response comes amid heightened political tensions in Chikwawa, where accusations and counter-accusations have recently dominated public debate.

Observers note that the controversy highlights the challenges faced by politicians in balancing community expectations with national governance responsibilities.

Mia concluded by reaffirming her commitment to transparency, accountability, and service to the people.

She declared that her political journey will remain rooted in integrity and a focus on meaningful development.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-National Bank of Malawi (NBM) plc has given MK8 million to the Public Relations Society of Malawi (PRSM) in support of its annual conference, scheduled for October 30 to November 2, in Mzuzu.

Speaking during the cheque handover ceremony on Tuesday, NBM plc Marketing and Corporate Affairs Manager, Akossa Hiwa, said the Bank has been a longstanding partner of PRSM, and remains impressed by the society’s commitment to capacitating public relations professionals in the country.  

“We are appreciative of the role they are playing and we look forward to what will be discussed at the conference,” said Hiwa.

She further elaborated that the Bank believes the conference will create a platform for public relations practitioners to share knowledge and best practices.

“In the age of rapid information, high public expectations, and shifting perception, skilled communicators are the bridge to real information and reality; they serve the audience to see through the noise.”

“We are confident the conference will sharpen skills, provide fresh insight, and renew energy to take up the role as catalysts of change in Malawi. We hope that this year’s conference will go beyond discussions to include Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), reflecting NBM plc’s strong emphasis on communication with both internal and external stakeholders,” said Hiwa.

In her remarks, PRSM Vice President Rachel Kalera-Mhango expressed gratitude for the Bank’s generous support.

“They have been one of our longest supporters in various activities we hold, and this shows how committed they are to this profession and the work the society is doing. This year’s conference will be held under the theme ‘Building the Malawi we Want by 2063: Leveraging on Effective Strategic Communication as a Catalyst of Change’. The theme is aimed at creating a platform for PR practitioners to converge and share ideas and information related to Malawi’s 2063 vision.”

“We might talk about 2063 vision, but if there is no dedication in mindset change, we cannot achieve anything, so there has to be effective communication, that’s where PR comes in,” said Mhango.
