In this episode, we’re covering a supercut of reactions to reports that Mormon Stories is being sued by the LDS Church. I also break down the Church’s initial press release from April 18th, 2026, which outlines concerns around branding, names, and potential confusion with official Church content.As many know, I am also currently involved in legal proceedings with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over similar issues, so I’ve been following this closely. In this segment, I go through the Church’s statement paragraph by paragraph and compare it with responses from creators across the ex-Mormon commentary space.Key themes discussed include:Whether “Mormon” branding creates real confusionThe role of disclaimers in independent commentary contentClaims of selective enforcement against critical creatorsThe broader ecosystem of ex-Mormon media, including Mormon News Roundup, Radio Free Mormon, and Mormon DiscussionsWhether this case could set precedent for future disputesWe also include reaction clips and commentary from across platforms including YouTube Shorts, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, highlighting how this story is being interpreted in real time.Please consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
