Polygamist Cult Founder’s Daughter, Rachel Jeffs, Gives Her First TV Interview | Megyn Kelly TODAY
He has 40 wives but still turns to his sexual desire on his own daughter! Disgusting! This man is the devil himself.
80 wives in total.
87 wife’s in totalll

Completely NOT the point. NOT the point!

Completely NOT the point. NOT the point!
Viviana Satizabal, satan he definitely is!! Warren Jeffs should NEVER be released from prison. He's a menace to society. A pariah to prey upon young women and men who don't seem to be strong enough to think for themselves. Protecting our society is keeping evil people like Warren locked away from the innocent and vulnerable, who are easily victimized. When I look at this pathetic, shriveled-up creature, of a man, I can't for the life of me see how anyone can't see past his bulls**t??
Lots of people are saying how scared and unconfident she appears, I think that's just her demeanor. She left a cult, survived years of sexual abuse, married a stranger and denounced her father who had complete control over her, she's anything but scared and unconfident, she's extremely strong!!!
Best youtube comment goes to you. You're right: this girl has amazing strength.
Its incredible how a man so evil and ugly can create such a beautiful and strong young woman. He never even deserved to call her his daughter.
I think It's more that she's shy, and she hasn't any experience with real-world social interaction. One can be internally strong and timid at the same time.
I think the fact she's fighting back tears at times but is able to talk publicly and hold a straight face says she is strong beyond belief. Especially because Mrs Kelly is asking some hard hitting questions.
I don’t see a lack of confidence whatsoever
Some people are just reserved??
Omg to hear her say, “do other fathers of the world do this?” sickens me! Just heartbreaking! Made me so thankful for having the dad I did!
I know it isn’t comforting to anyone, but I can certainly say other fathers did. While I have never been FLDS, I was from the bonkers cult end of fundamental evangelical Christianity
Maybe she will somehow see this and will feel less alone.
@noraruth4789 that's awful
You are so strong for surviving through that and sharing your story ❤
What a precious girl! She is so soft spoken, kind, intelligent, and honest. She is the epitome of strength! I hope she find the peace and happiness she deserves!
Because she "looks" kind and is "soft spoken" you think that automatically makes her story totally believable !
Charles Manson was very "soft spoken" too.
@@jimreilly6933 Are you saying you don't believe her?!!!!😡😡😡
@@RebelliousLittleElf No, I am saying, Because she "looks" kind and is "soft spoken" you think that automatically makes her story totally believable !
Charles Manson was very "soft spoken" too.
@@jimreilly6933 Lol, you're comparing her to Charles Manson.🥱👌
@@RebelliousLittleElf I am equating her with soft spoken people anywhere ! everywhere !
Her sigh and small smile when she’s uncomfortable is her “keeping sweet” she is completely TRAUMATIZED that’s so sad.
Road to Recovery I noticed that too. She’s still following her fathers rules in some ways.
People overkill traumatization in their own minds
Yes & it was their mothers who trained girls how to keep sweet . Don't forget their role .they may have started out innocent victims but they still became corrupted participants .
@@danamartin8286 that sounds like it came from someone who had a wonderful childhood .
Road to Recovery yes!!!
I have mixed feelings about them holding this interview in front of a crowded audience. Seems hella stressful for interviewees.
It occurs to me that compared to what she's been through I believe she handled the interview beautifully. It may even have been cathartic and empowering.
Yeah. It’s making me feel pretty uncomfortable knowing that she’s pouring her heart out and they only care about their ratings.
She honestly seems fine.
It's a difficult situation and definitely not something every survivor can talk about.
But she seems to be holding her own, and she probably felt it was important to bring awareness to the situation.
SamWallace Art I know. It’s so traumatizing and I would never share my story like that. She’s so strong.
It seems a bit disrespectful to what she has gone through and endured...her "doing well during the interview" has no bearing on how disrespectful it appears...I don't know, it just doesn't feel like it looks right.
She was so brainwashed that she's saying "I was very angry" with a sweet voice and a calm face. I cannot imagine how enraged I'd be if someone, let alone my father made me suffer like this. I won't even regret killing the abuser.
She isn't brainwashed just because she isn't reacting the way you would. She is probably just a lot more emotionally strong than you or me are because of all she has endured. Showing uncontrolled rage is often a sign of weakness and I just dont see her displaying that.
@@crystalh450 okay
I'm certainly no expert on theis subject, but she may have compartmentalized that as a necessity for her emotional survival.
The girls are taught growing up to “keep sweet”, so her sweet voice is just a leftover habit
@@JessicaReinke that's what I think too. She has adapted it and I'm not saying it's the wrong way to react, but being angry is a normal human emotion. It doesn't mean that a person is weak or strong. It's just a way of expression according to me
Why wasn’t she mentioned in the “Keep Sweet” Netflix documentary? Her story needed to be shared on there!
I was just thinking the same?!
She probably declined Netflix’s request. Maybe she’s done reliving these horrible memories.
@@tpn1110 you’re probably right.
“I’m just a little boy in a jail cell.”??? What a weirdo.
Maybe that's the freaks way of trying to justify his perversion for underage girls
What a manipulator!
Creepy
@@LaJuera25 I was in a different cult for almost 17 years before I and another lady escaped. That was now (thank God) 10 years ago. The manipulation and control go very deep. I still have flashbacks and nightmares--and yes fear. But God wins. The most difficult part is re-conditioning to the true aspect of God. Anger at being manipulated is real. Hatred toward the cult leader is normal. Revenge too. The "leader" of the cult I was in got pancreatic cancer. Then I and the other lady had our eyes opened. The person died 16 months later and I was so relieved--and overjoyed.
Better Late Than Never I was looking for this comment, definitely a weirdo
You can tell this poor girl is still scarred from what's happened to her...She can barely even look Megyn in the eye. I really hope she stays strong and finds more of her confidence soon.
Gale Force and she keeps smiling...and giggling...sick!
Chris Bee that's probably just her way of coping
Look up 'fear laughter'. It's a natural evolutionary response when faced with a nerve wracking or frightening situation. She doesn't find the situation or topics she is discussing funny.
She actually had relatively good eye contact during the interview. Poor girl though.
Most of her life she was taught to act a certain way and I think that carried over when she decided to leave the cult. I couldn't imagine being forced to act only 1 way my whole life, not free to make my own choices. And going to a brand new life where I was free to act and be however I want.
If you listen to others who have left the FLDS the women especially seem to talk softly and calmly. Like they don't have much emotion when they talk it's all quite monotone.
Without a doubt the most courageous person I have ever seen on any television interview! As a survivor of the same kind of abuse I cannot even imagine being interviewed on TV like this, but I sure do admire it. Rachel, you cannot imagine how many people you have helped through your incredible work here. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bless your heart.
i cannot fathom the bravery of this woman. all of the women who have offered such honesty. i can’t believe what they have had to endure, i can’t believe they are still here and so strong.
She said, “ I knew he had done wrong and I wouldn’t let him break me.” No applause from the audience but I applaud you honey. You were and are a very strong woman for having been taught such rubbish and overcoming it with a strong mind. God bless you sweetheart.
That's because they clap when they are directed to do so.
God bless you? Are you serious? The word god for me is nothing more than a product of human weakness. "Albert Einstein"
Cedar Roofs yes I am. And I ♥️ Albert Einstein.
Teresa Davis you can see so much sadness and shame in her eyes. Thank God she got out and can have a normal life and raise her kids , u are right she is VERY strong and will no doubt help sp many people by speaking out and against this recoil sickening person and the people who allowed him to terrorize for decades. I'm surprised that these kinds of CULTS exist still today but at the same time not bc everyone is looking for something, maybe just to fit in or have a family. But with SO much information that's so readily available it seems like we wouldn't have anyone especially woman falling into this
Lost Benevolence Now he knows the truth
I have a friend who was raised in this 'church family'. Warren Jeffs is her uncle. As l understand it, she and her husband left the church and moved to the east coast where l met her. Later they amicably divorced. She is now living her best life. Going to school to become a physician's assistant, and doing plenty of traveling. I'm so proud of her.
Welldone for her
Cool
thats amazing
Thank goodness. So great to hear.
SO GO TELL HER AS UR COMMENT ONLY SERVES YOUR OWN EGO PLACING IT HERE
What a beautiful and extremely strong young woman! I can’t imagine what she went through and basically being brainwashed from the day she was born. To have the courage to get away finally and stop this cycle in her own life is incredible brave.
Aren't all religions brane "washing machines"
One of the sons was 40 years old when he left. So sad. She’s brave for sharing this so the world can know what’s going on. Smh
The strength in her eyes, and the control of her voice tells me this woman is one of the strongest people alive. She will not let his horrible legacy win. She's so much more powerful that he ever imagined, and her determination to move forward minute by minute, day by day is soul inspiring to us all.

Anytime I hear a kid call their dad “Father” I automatically assume Suttn ain’t right .😂😂
I call mine "Father" haha & you're right 😂
Yeah they aren’t allowed to call their parents “dad” or “mom” out of respect
CT Flavors I call my dad father but it’s like a playful way ya know
Nivea Soto ya I get it , cuz it’s weird lol
Why is that? Lol
Just watched that Netflix show, Keep Sweet Pray & Obey, and I swear to God these women/people are so strong & brave for leaving this cult. God please help them all leave this lifelong abuse. I cannot imagine. :’(
So proud of her for being so open about this to the world when she didn't have to. This was her dad, her religion, the only community she knew and her whole life from birth. This was her normal. Even if one person sees this and then happens to find someone later in their life that ends up being manipulative, hopefully they will remember her story and mentally raise up a red flag. She's extremely brave and I can't imagine the hoops she had to jump through mentally to get to this place where she can talk about it! I wish the best things for her in the future!
She's extremely brave speaking up against very real and active cult.
She's a pathological loar
Dragoslav Vega, Brazilian-American Nationalists No
@@dragoslavdelavega558 you're disgusting how dare you blame any of the victims brave enough to speak out for their suffering!
I wish people thought like that about those who speak against religion in general, as some of those people should be thought of.
Religion is the underlying problem that noone seems to be addressing.
People think the only problem is polygamy or Warren.
Religion is also a problem.
Something that creates bigots will always be a problem.
@@richrichy3015 Religion is not the problem, nor does it definitely create bigots. Warren Jeffs and the founders of FLDS co-opted isolated bits & pieces from the Bible then warped them to form their own belief system that supported their disgusting and wicked desires at heart. God is the baseline for morality and religion is just the mode through which people try to follow Him. Polygamy was the problem, Warren was the problem, but religion was not (it was man and the lack of God) and it's quite disrespectful to equate normal groups of faith in religion to cults. Be good, man.
She needs to quit calling him father.
Glad she got out. What a strong lady.
Emily Slater
A life of submissiveness is hard to break. We, on the “outside”, can see how wrong this lifestyle and everything is but she’s still breaking those lifelong lifestyle habits. I hope she finds true peace and happiness.
duckylmexican you’re right! But so atheist so stfu
JoanlYisr
Geez, calm down. I’m not even atheist but keep on being ignorant in your assumptions.
Then the interviewer needs to call him by his name too. I find it kind of disrespectful to ask and remind her constantly that he is her biological father but nothing of the sort.
It is her dad, so calling him father isnt weird 😹
Friggin SICKOs in this world. This is why everyone must remain vigilant and stop thinking that evil doesn't exist, and be ready to fight these crazy people.
It breaks my heart that her lips are trembling talking about the abuse. can't believe this is what human being doing to another person.
Im just floored by all of this... what is this???
And she's still trying to smile through the pain.
What a strong young woman! "I knew he had done wrong and I didn't want to let him break me." AMEN! I pray only good things come to her for the rest of her life.
Amen indeed!
Amen 🙏
Amen
Yep. Hope the best for her.
She’s so brave, courageous and admirable for standing up to the man who had abused her. For breaking free from those chains that tied her and I’m just happy that she is free and is now able to freely express your feelings, and thoughts
God bless this sweet woman! I can't even imagine what she's dealing with psychologically. She's so brave and I'm so proud of her for seeing her way out of the fog and horror.
"I'm just a little boy in a jail cell." But he's like 40 with 30 plus wives. He's truly insane
Amelia Bryer and one wife in Texas was 12 😐
Amelia Bryer wrong. He is evil.
Car S Actually no, he had 79 wives at the time of this interview: ruclips.net/video/ceyoIIDb7WE/видео.html
Christopher Liguez ++ you're completely crazy to love such an evil beast ..
A man of God who sexually abused wives/children?
This is not what Christianity is. Not at all. It’s perverted. I feel so bad for her.
Brittani Monaee' it’s FLDS
They have their own religion it’s similar to Mormon
@@Lionessofjudah138 they broke away from mormos and follow joseph smith the founder of the Mormons who practice polygamy and had hundreds of wives. Mine stream Mormons are against this practice .
Chanel 8 all Brooklyn is saying is that they’re not Christian like the OP thinks, they’re Mormon.
Not even close. This is evil nothing to do with Christianity
Polygamy IS not condemned in the bible and there are multiple mentions of it as well.
This lady is so brave explaining her ordeal in front of the audience. Commendations to this lady.
Just stopping by to say how beautiful, smart, confident, strong, and kind this woman is!
This poor woman, she looks like she is going to break into tears, like she looks like she just needs a hug
I think she is resilient, if she came off as super confident she would not be believed. Host is not sympathetic, her manner comes across as uncaring and just looking for a good story.
Idallis Kuderna yes! I just wanted to go through the screen, hug her and then say that everything will be okay 😓
Yet she STILL “kept sweet” for the host and audiences. Bless her.
I really hope LWYS gets updated soon...
Yeah. Right.... not.
My heart broke when she said if the world was more wicked than where they lived then she should be grateful otnisnt worse..
Poor thing.
So brainwashed. So horribly abused. She is so brave and strong.
She's an incomplete person.
Brainwashed. EXACTLY. Like all religions. The word god for me is nothing more than a product of human weakness. "Albert Einstein"
Cedar Roofs religion is real there’s evidence so don’t get it twisted
@@SkuIIzz religion is real..god isn't. Religion is one of the greatest evils on this earth.
Im a christian and I think for me one of the hardest things for me to do would be to not be violent if I ever saw him face to face. I would have to basically run away from him in order not to destroy him, its so vile and despicable, that I dont think anyone would want to stop me. Thank god literally that he is in jail I am going to pray for that poor woman she is so making my heart strings get pulled. What a survivor I am so humbled by her strength and fortitude she is my hero. If any of you guys are into prayer or helping people please try and throw lots of love to Mrs Jeffs she is so deserving of it, what a heartbreaking tradjety
When i heard her tell the story how her father abused her (of course taking her virginity) its so obvious her father did not want any man to savor her cherry so her dad popped hers for himself thinking "nobody pops my daughter's cherry but me", what a selfish human, a guy depraving other guy's joy, i find that real despicable, death or jail is too good for him, he deserves to be flogged and tortured with lashes, ancient middle easterners way of punishment is really sensible to me where roman culture diluted it so badly up to this day, let the inmates torture him everyday
@@johnnyboy3357 I think his own soul will torture him, his fellow inmates wil, (more so that happens in the canadian penal system) we canucks dont put up with skinners, rapists, and diddlers!!! and in the afterlife I think he will have to attone for his brutal crimes. My heart goes out to the victim, poor girl, I can relate to being abused. Lets just say I am not proud of it but I am not ashamed I scarred someone for life for abusing me.
I am not at all religious and would join you in that beating.
@@timpurcell4583 thanks ........good to know there are more out there who feel like that!
I made a post about 4 frames up. also and a Christian. but I would not be able to resist turning him into a used punching bag. (ex boxer)
So sad :(. The nextflix series of this is mind blowing.
This poor lady even smiles when she is telling a tragic story. I'd bet money that was one of his rules, to always smile. She is probably stuck doing things that sicko enforced in her early childhood.
@Nope Nope no suprise
Delsin Johnson System is the problem 🏡 Our Life should be around these Great Qualities.....
1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can.
2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later.
3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most.
4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice.
5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life.
6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it.
7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success.
8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments.
9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences.
10, Always try to give more than you take.
Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you.
🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all.
People are controlled by system why?
The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more.
Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited. 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression.

She says it was a rule- keep nice
Yup, "keep sweet"
Another brave woman that we have in world.. may you find eternal happiness.
Oh, she's just married a new man. A male model type. Which goes to show that even oppressed women
only want to be with the best-looking men.
Pfft. The world is so shallow. Makes me sick. :(
If that man is a pig, no thank you.
+Kasie7 Pigs are actually very clean animals. But I get your point. I wash, though. Even behind the ears.
But still no woman wants me. What do I have to be? A dog?
You need to be caring and loving without lying. And don't lie to yourself.
+Kasie7 That's how I am. But women only care about looks, money and status. And I have none of those
things. Being nice gets you nowhere. But I'm not going to change for the worse to improve my chances
with women...
This poor girl. I'm so glad she got away from that toxic situation!!
I read her book, she is so strong for having the courage to get out!
This poor woman needs lots of therapy to get over all her trauma.
You´ll never really get over something like this
Jana Taylor that’s sad but true
No amount of therapy s gonna fix this... poor girl. Looks very collected though and she s also articulate. And not to mention brave. God bless her spirit.
I don't think you can actually get over anything like this
Shirl Zitting Very interesting! I went to school ( in Utah) with many Zittings) I wondered how there could be sisters of the same age, but not twins. Oh, I learned. Nice polygamist family!

The Only Girl In The Room Uck! I absolutely agree. However, I'm glad he's talking like this behind bars. I'm sure it doesn't bode well for him with the other inmates.
The Only Girl In The Room his parents were probably like that, pretty horrible
“The father”..I really hope she can stop calling him that. She’s validating that man by calling him what he wanted her to. So so sick. Horror movie frightening
Lets get the term straight...Those are not "women." Those are mostly little girls. :(

Shes actually one of the bravest ones that escaped shes helping others. They have a tv show on lifetime called escaping polygamy
That show breaks my heart
She is just trying to help her sister. She hasn’t helped anyone else really
That TV show should be renamed; Escaping a cult, no Polygamy.
@@tatig6629 she's helping people by speaking out and giving others courage
Well done to her
This is sick.
Sick world
I live in Utah and Polygamy is still alive. I see them on a daily basis I can’t stop but feel sad for them. 😔
Polygamy isn't the same thing as a cult.
@@ChattyMaddyMae but only cult follows polygamy
Out of curiosity...do these wives ever seem happy? Or are some of them happy and some of them hate it but that’s all they know?
It's also normal for muslims to have up to 4 wives and i hate it.
They cant even feed all their families shame on these men!
She is one very strong, determined lady!💚💚💚💚
not really, because she didnt torture him to death!
Agreed. Next we need to talk about Jehovah's Witnesses and how they systematically protect pedophiles. They are currently being investigated by the Australian Royal Commission.
No she didn't even question her mother, the other grown up to protect her in life, not calling the police. Now as final jewel on the crown, she's getting exploited again by the media hawks for their political agenda. A perpetual victim as all followers.
Luke White and Catholics!
Jimmy Johansson there’s so many holes in that argument. as she said her mother was in the same boat. the police in that area are in Warren Jeffs’ back pocket. she can dial 911 but she’d just get ex-communicated and never see her kids again. Jeffs has all the power, the women have none.
I'm so sorry for what she had to live through😪 She is so brave to have stood up to all of this. Bless her sweet heart ❤
Life can be so cruelly unfair. People such as Rachel never have choice and their agency is crushed. It is a miracle that Rachel was able to find the courage to break away from this evil lifestyle.
This cult still exists. The show Escaping Polygamy talks a lot about it and helps those in the cult escape.
They're mentioned but they aren't the only ones
@Shirl Zitting ?
@@tarrahrogers6903 they're mentioned many many times
I watch that show too. I have some episodes where they help the flds but they help more people from their group
Yes, they just set up camps somewhere else. Someone else follows Warren. They have money and lots of it.
Let’s talk about how bad the CC is on this video..
Andre Brown it has been driving me crazy lol
Let’s just not
Andre Brown I meaaaaan😂😭😂😭😭😭😂😂😂
I HAD to turn it off lol
IKR
How could anyone hurt their baby like that. Pure Evil
In her book, she describes how her father molested her on many occasions. On one occasion, he forced her to touch him and the next day he said she failed the test, by touching him she showed that she had immoral and lustful feelings and that she was a sinner. I think she was about nine years old or so at that time. Unbelievable.
Disgusting ********* !! Where's the law when it's needed. 😡
I know it was incredibly disgusting ! What a wicked man!
Omggg😢😢
Her book is incredibly well written. She is so brave. Highly recommend, she has an audible version and is so strong for sharing her story. What a beautiful soul.
Stop interrupting her while she's talking.
That's just egotistical Meghyn what else would u expect from her "I love me ! " so vain !!!
It is irritating but she has to control and direct the interview. TV interviews tend to be like this they have specific points they have to hit in a short time.
0p poi 008
I honestly can't stand Megyn Kelly as much as I don't like Nancy Grace 😒
louise evans lol. You know her? My gawd the mean people here are silly and weak. But keep going with the mob mentality and don’t think for yourself.
She is very brave and I honor her. My life wasn't the same but I am still healing. I was sexual abused starting at age 5 and I ran away from home. My life was really hard until I asked Jesus into my heart at age 38. It has been life changing ever since. Thank you Jesus you made life worth living. I now truly have joy and laughter and I am now age 61
❤️
May healing and happiness always be a part of your life. you strenght is immense💗❤
God bless you 🙏🏽 ❤
This beautiful child. It breaks my heart evertime I hear her in an interview. I'm glad she was strong enough to break free.
Rachel I hope you manage to read all these wonderful comments ABOUT YOU- what a wonderful person you are, we must stop this CULT
This poor sweet girl is so traumatized. I read her book. It’s so sad
@@usamarafieck1715 watch the video
The way she acts you can tell there's no way there's making any of this up. She is so strong and brave and she is so pure regardless of what's happened to her and that's amazing.
I agree wholeheartedly, you just don't make up something that sinister
Pure resilience.
Dragoslav Vega, Brazilian-American Nationalists No, she is truthful
I dont think anyone suggests she is lieing?
Mallorie Stancil there is a show escaping polygamy . Dragoslav far from pathological liar what these women/kids go thru is horrific and heartbreaking.. I hope one day they all escaped
This young woman is amazing and incredibly strong. God love her. I cannot begin to imagine what she has been through. Her “father” is absolute filth and the definition of evil. Surely he will pay for his abuses in the next life.
The way she said "Father" made me cringe. Brave girl for leaving
Jordan Ramsey lmao me too
she's smiling cause her whole life she was tought to suppress her emotions, to not ever feel them, that's another level of torture, way higher than any other.
Smiling inappropriately, the way she and all of the other girls did when she was in.
The way she says “father”
Rachel is so strong. Beautiful & amazing. What scares me is all the people still involved with him & still trafficking kids since his conviction. Some of society even joined him since and it's all so disgusting
This is like the handmaid's tale..............
The writer of the books even said everything in her books has happened or is still happening in the world.
its true.. that will be the future.
ikr just like it
I live in Utah and went to Utah state in Logan (it’s very Mormon there although I am not Mormon) we read the hand maids take as a class and I offended more than half my class when I pointed out how this book was basically about polygamy. A lot of Mormons are very defensive of polygamy!
Wow, I didn't know that about the author saying that. Thanks.
I don't think it's appropriate to ask some of the questions she did to Rachel in front of a live audience. I hope Rachel knew those questions were coming and wasn't caught off guard and knew she would be asked about her abuse.
catherine serendipity I think because of her answers she would have been aware.
Cool off. They are probably even in the book
i believer most interviews like this they’re aware of the questions beforehand
I couldn't agree more. Anything to get the full story..
guests are ALWAYS made aware of what they will be asked during the interview, so take several seats
This is why people must be careful. That demon of a “dad” was nothing short of a monster. I hope he gets eternal punishment. Rachel, God bless you sweetheart for standing up for yourself and teaching others that cults are extremely dangerous and must be avoided. I hope God grants you the justice you deserve, Rachel.
I highly recommend her book. It was very detailed and explained a lot of the rules, and detailed her father's spiraling extremism and abuse. Keep in mind this man is still alive in prison, still calling the shots of FLDS.
Flds is not a freedom of religion. It's a prison of hate, gaslighting, and abuse.
All while being a billion dollar business. More kids, more wives, more money.. That was the motivation behind the hate and abuse.
It is a religion to cover up pedophilia.
Itsthesame w lds
Yep. Conservatism at its finest.
She seems like such a sweet and innocent girl, so sad what she had to go through.

She’s not. She’s a warrior, despite her demeanor.
Calling her sweet is an insult at this point. He ruined that word. She has been brainwashed to be sweet, it’s not cute or endearing. She’s a badass.
@@elisemarie4894 yes. it broke my heart to see her smile through while she was explaining what he did and said.
human trafficked as religious toms and mrs toms that jews and muslim jews breed as sanguinary sanguine inbreds.
Why is polygamy allowed in the US? It should be illegal!
Shes so pretty. She radiates a kind gentle spirit. True beauty.
This young woman is insanely brave and strong. I could never possibly imagine having to say these things on television without absolutely breaking down into a puddle. What an inspiration. I admire your courage and strength.
That pervert, he obvioulsy thought he was God!
Georgina Mannor wrong he still thinks he's God
Georgina Mannor - that is normal Mormon teaching, the whole purpose of this faith is to become a god and rule over your own planet, like the God of the Bible rules over earth. According to their teaching, God was a man at one time and became a god at some point.
@@fraukeschmidt8364 are you mormon?
It creeps me out that she still refers to him as "father."
Barachan21 that’s not what I’m saying... NO ONE talks about their dad and says, “father did this” or “father was that”... that’s what’s weird about it...
Agreed!!
Well, brainwashing is hard to undo.
I think that's because of how she grew up. In this "religion", you can't say "dad, daddy, mom, or mommy" it's "mother and father" almost like speaking to a Catholic priest and nun
Another girl that was interviewed about this polygamy sect has talked about having what's called an appointed father. Her appointed father in the sect just happened to be her biological father.
I came across this story from the Netflix documentary. but all I can say is wow she’s strong
What a brave young lady. To have suffered the way she had and to have the strength to go against all you had known was amazing. I hope she knows how brave she is.
I lived there just a year and a half ago. The rules got worse as the time went on. My mom got sent away by Warren. We we're separated for her from her for 4 1/2 years. A year and a half she got so done trying to please the athorities there. So she came and got us. And now we are trying to fix our lives and live the normal. Never ever would I ever go back. We were not allowed to speak or think of our mom. I was separated from my older sisters. Now we are celebrating and doing the fun things we never got to do. I actually knew her when I lived down there.
💕💕💕💕💕💕
Glad you’re out of that cult. Welcome to the world.
Yay
Thanks
What was your most unexpected joy from a small under appreciated comfort after leaving?
I just wanna hug her. she seems so sweet, but so strong. Shero
Keep sweet! What a tragic way beck.
Is she still in this marriage ...
Nola Carsillo hcvd
Kelly Schermerhorn she has a new husband I believe and he is an organic person and they are determined to help others now.
T Raa she means organic love as in not an arranged set up. A natural connection
She still calls him "Father"...weird
That poor girl. She’s so brave to have found her voice.
Rachel is amazing. FLDS Is one of the toughest to escape. She's helped others escape as well.
IS IT TOUGHER THAN SCIENTOLOGY CATHOLICISM OR PROTESTANTISM , RELATIVELY ITS THE EASIEST U FOOL
@@odoggow8157 I don't know about Scientology, but Catholicism and Protestantism are easy to leave. You just leave. What marks a cult from a religion (in a society with religious freedom that is) is if there are barriers to stop you leaving, and if you do leave you're cut off from those on the inside, and a deliberate use of group dynamics to mold the behavior of the members into something uniform and submissive, and to make the group attack anyone who thinks differently, thereby creating a fear of social disapproval. Let me give you an example; if Catholicism's confession were in public, and the congregation were there to witness the person confessing sins, that would be psychologically controlling and would enforce outward behaviors that conform to the group for fear of social rejection, abandonment, and judgement. So no one would confess their real thoughts, they'd behave "perfectly", and their personalities would change to fit their external behavior. The cost of doing something against the Church would be unbearably high. But irl, confession is strictly confidential, and no matter what you do, the priest says "you are forgiven". Then you leave confession with zero social consequences, and the priest will never reveal what you've said under pain of death. In that situation, the easiest choice, the choice that the Church doesn't want you to make, is the hardest one; to not sin. Forcing the external behaviour isn;t the goal, you have to want to do it personally and work for it with no social pressures forcing your decision. That's the opposite of a cult
My heart aches for my sisters and grandchildren who dont understand the abuse. We can not escape if it is our reality or salvation.
Odog Gow ur- ur caps lock is on
@@odoggow8157 How are you comparing Catholics and protestants to this? It's not even close. Catholicism/protestantism is easy to leave, I was born into Catholicism, practiced as a protestant then returned to my Catholic faith, so I'm very familiar with both. They don't force you into anything, everything practiced is under your own free will. You aren't forced into marriage, being a baby maker, told what to wear, how and where to live. Our lives aren't threatened if we choose not to practice...
Brave young lady.
Cousin Ant...really that is your comment about a young woman coming forward about being sexually abused by her father? You say she needs to lose weight...really??? Please explain why you would say this.
Sending my blessings to her, and any other women or man who have suffered the same abuse.
Soooooo brave is she!!!!
wish this wasn't in front of so many people, she is so uncomfortable
She is traumatized
@Nope Nope also that
Nope Nope and?
Nope Nope lmao idk why you’re so upset 😂 I know they don’t care.
I hope he is getting "dealt" with in prison.
She is so sweet. And you can tell she is still very hurt and damaged from her childhood.
Random Random of course she is lol, people who go through way less than her are usually extremely damaged, I couldn’t imagine how she feels.
It pains my soul to hear her still refer to that monster as “father” She is a beautiful human, incredibly resilient, people go through so much.
Hello Darby, How’re you doing?
My story is similar but different. I was raised in the cult end of fundamental Christianity and my father did the same unthinkable things. The option to doubt just wasn’t there. The option to escape wasn’t planted in us.
But I’m free, safe, and happy now. Her journey was a lot worse than mine? And I hope she find la that same peace.
IFB here a few years. Got out of that cult years ago thankfully
You know it’s a bad religion when the leader’s own DAUGHTER is speaking out against him!
Alex Larson cult
Yeah not religion CULT!!
Well is not who is doing the speaking, is what's being spoken that makes it bad. In this case it's clearly bad based on the facts...
Alex Larson you can’t say that, I’m a Muslim, but Christians believe Judas betrayed Jesus, do you call Jesus insane?
Religions in general are basically cults.
Her father, Warren Jeffs, is such a creep, even his voice sounds creepy.
Yesss like what kind of jail still allows his brother to come in and record his voice to continually scare and Brainwash ppl?
his voice IS creepy!
Milder and more excessive versions of him exist. It's disturbing. For most of them we are play toys. Appliances. Nothing more.
The mugshot is giving me anxiety in my dark bedroom rn
Thankyou for exposing this.
I will pray for the family.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Her small smile breaks me. Strength needn't be loud; sometimes strength is silent.
Lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
There ate a lot of lcreeps in this world and he is certanaly one of the worst good job he is locked up throuh away the key
Llll
Such a strong woman, so much appreciation for her.
Her father is obviously a coward.
More then a coward he is a MONSTER abuse your own daughter😠
My fiancé who was 13 at the time escaped from this cult along with his mom and one sister. He ended up stealing to survive and has spent most of his life in prison. He told me his dad was one of Warren’s “security officer”. As a boy he wasn’t doted on or even considered valuable as his sisters were. Some were married off at a young age also. When he was a kid he would see the dads with their daughters on their laps watching Shirley Temple movies. As he looks back now he realizes there might have been more going on at those moments. I’m glad that man is gone and these ladies can go on without looking over their shoulders.
Turn him loose in the general prison population. Or put him in solitary. Are his phone calls not monitored? Do we as a society not care about the harm he is causing?
I'm watching this for a second time and I'm truly amazed at her confidence and warmth. What a lovely person.
This is the only RUclips video where I agree with almost every comment.
It was still unsetteling to hear her say "he [her husband] was kind. He wasn't in a hurry to have kids." Like a part of her still follows that logic of obedience, where the man is the absolute leader and decides when to have children. It will probably take a lifetime to get rid of the implemented disease to please, the childhood trauma, PTSD, depression and all the stuff I can't even imagine is going on inside her.
I suspect he was kind and like in all groups some men and women will be awful and some not. Trouble is the power given here to WJ is so huge if someone is unkindi t is hard to do much about about it if you are a woman or a junior plural wife. Also the men too are brought up to this so it is really hard to apportion blame. If your God on earth tells you to send your 14 year old to marry in the US and if you do not you lose your wife, children, job, house and eternal salvation I am not sure how much choice you actually have.
Yeah, it's sad when her standard for how men should treat her seems so low. He was probably brainwashed too though. Those people are so messed up and controlled.
Don’t forget her husband was also born into this cult though and likely didn’t know much better. He was probably always brainwashed. It sounds like he tried to be as kind as he could.
Valhalla well he had absolute control of her but he didn't make her yet. It was kind of him. As she said he is King in the house. The king was thinking of her at that time. It was kind.
Valhalla also he was going against her dad the near God's wishes.
