In this exclusive interview, Kathryn shares her firsthand experience with Bateman’s family, including her relationship with his ex-wife and the role she played in helping care for their children. She opens up about unsettling interactions she witnessed between Sam Bateman and his first wife, long before he declared himself a prophet.
One of the most shocking revelations? The moment that pushed his wife to finally leave—and the disturbing request that changed everything.
We also discuss Kathryn’s thoughts on the documentary Trust Me: The False Prophet, and the current state of the FLDS community today—especially as members of her own family are still inside.
This is an insider perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.
