The reason for her absence at The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2 reunion was revealed by Demi in a QnA session she held on her Instagram stories. A fan asked her if she wasn't invited to the reunion, and she clarified the misconception.
She stated that she was invited, but it was on short notice. She stated that, unfortunately, the day they kept the reunion was the day she was going to go to Disneyland with her entire family. She further said that all their flights were booked, and the Airbnb they had chosen to book was not refundable. So, she decided against going to the season 2 reunion.
"I tried to have production move it to another day, and they couldn't swing it sadly," she added.
This implied that she wanted to attend the reunion, which is why she even tried tweaking the dates of the event to favor her, but it didn't work.
