Reality television personality Whitney Leavitt might have found herself in some hot water on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — deemed the villain of the series — but it’s safe to say she is now living her best life on Dancing With the Stars season 34.
Topping the leaderboard every week thus far — most recently earning an impressive score of 22 out of 30 for her Cha Cha to Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music” during One-Hit Wonders Night yesterday (September 29) — she and her professional dance partner, Mark Ballas, might just take home the Mirrorball Trophy!

Nevertheless, with Leavitt back on our television screens with a new show to her name, she has now graced the eyes of individuals all across America who might not have tuned into SLOMW, and might be meeting her for the very first time.
With this comes a great deal of chatter, with some of said chatter tying her to a very famous actress…
Ever since DWTS season 34 began, Leavitt has been compared to Emily Blunt — who has starred in The Devil Wears Prada, A Quiet Place, The Fall Guy and more — with some deeming her to the SLOMW star’s celebrity doppelgänger.
Has Leavitt seen the comments, though?
After One-Hit Wonders Night, Whitney and Mark chatted with the media about all things DWTS, drifting into a different conversation while speaking with E! News. Discussing the Emily Blunt comparisons instead, keep scrolling to see what Leavitt had to say.
In a TikTok video captioned, “Whitney Leavitt and Emily Blunt could be cousins. That’s all. 👏 #DWTS,” the reporter asked Leavitt to kick off the conversation, “ Does everybody tell you you look like Emily Blunt? Are you getting this over and over?”
The Swig-lover swiftly replied, “I am getting it, but a lot lately. Like, more than usual… I mean, I love her, so thank you. I’ll take it!” before making a rather snarky comment towards her SLOMW andDWTS co-star, Jen Affleck.
“Should I start saying she’s my cousin?” Leavitt added, poking fun at the fact that “Jen is always saying that Ben Affleck is her cousin.”
It looks like she may still be a villain after all…
Nevertheless, whether you love her or hate her, there’s no denying that the Utah native is extremely talented in the dance department. Because of this, will she and Ballas manage take home the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy?
