In this exclusive interview, Sam (Ex-FLDS) and Melissa (raised LDS) sit down with Melanie and Cory, two former members of the AUB (Apostolic United Brethren) church—the same polygamous group the Brown family from Sister Wives came from. Melanie, the daughter of the current AUB prophet, and her husband Cory share their personal experiences and unique insights into Kody Brown and his four wives. Having known the family personally, Melanie and Cory provide an inside look into the real dynamics behind the show and the polygamous lifestyle portrayed on Sister Wives.
