Per court documents, Chase \u2014 who is the ex-husband of MomTok member Miranda McWhorter<\/a> \u2014pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving on a suspended or revoked license on November 26.

\n\t\t\tThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives newcomer Miranda McWhorter can barely remember a time before MomTok\u2019s now-infamous \u201csoft-swinging scandal.\u201d \u201cI feel, like, the first months [and] almost a year of my daughter\u2019s life was, like, kind of a blur,\u201d Miranda, 27, said on the Wednesday, May 14, episode of \u201cThe Viall Files\u201d podcast, breaking down [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

\u201cI was pulled over for driving under the influence, had ingested substances that I shouldn\u2019t have and got behind the wheel of a car,\u201d Chase said. \u201cExtremely 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reality star said he had been at a pool party with friends before his arrest. He said he had planned to stay at the friend\u2019s home but decided to leave after drama erupted at the party. Chase said he decided to drive since he only lived a few miles away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI should have Ubered, but for some reason, I decided to drive home, and that decision alone kills people every single day,\u201d he said. \u201cI understand the severity of it. Obviously, it was a humiliating low being pulled over and taken in. Terrible look for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
