‘Sister Wives’: Madison Brown Brush Reacts to Watching ‘Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey’ — ‘So Sad’
Madison Brown Brush, the daughter of Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and Janelle Brown, is watching Netflix’s docuseries, Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey. The series rips the roof off the secretive society of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). It details the shocking reality many women and girls faced living in the FLDS polygamist rule of Warren Jeffs. So what does a child of polygamy and Sister Wives star Madison think about Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey? Here’s what she had to say about it.
What is ‘Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey’ about?
Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey is a four-part series released to Netflix in June 2022, which details the rise and fall of the fundamentalist leader and their Prophet, Warren Jeffs. The show takes a deep dive into the investigation of sexual abuse, underage marriage, and trafficking of young women at the hands of the Jeffs family.
Jeffs was the sole leader of the church and the only one with the ability to assign wives to men. He would assign girls, some as young as 12 years of age, as brides to older men in the church. The women and the girls, regarded as second-class citizens within the FLDS community, had no say over which man they were “given” to.
It’s rumored Jeffs had over 87 wives and has fathered over 500 children. However, after an intense investigation, there was enough evidence to take down Jeffs finally. In 2011, he was convicted of two felony counts of child sexual assault. He is currently serving a life sentence plus twenty years in prison.
Madison calls the Netflix series ‘so sad’
Janelle and Kody’s daughter, 26-year-old Madison, finally decided to watch the hit docu-series. On June 19, Madison posted on her Instagram Story a photo of her TV showing the Netflix screen for Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey. She wrote, “Started to watch this after questions about the correlations.” Check out the screenshot below, via Reddit:
Madison has decided against living plural marriage and has chosen monogamy for herself. She is currently married to Caleb Brush, and they have two children, a 5-year-old son Axel and a 2-year-old daughter Evangalynn Brush.
While Madison didn’t talk about the connections between her upbringing with polygamist parents, she did mention how devastating the documentary is. She wrote, “Already so sad.”
Connections between the Brown family and ‘Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey’
As Sister Wives fans know, the Browns are followers of the fundamentalist Mormon sect called the Apostolic United Brethren (AUB), also known as “The Group” or “The Priesthood.” The similarities between the AUB and the FLDS come from both sects deriving from the same group in the 1800s. They have the same belief in “plural marriage,” and they read the same scripture.
Since they derive from the same group, there are familiar names in Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey that Sister Wives fans noticed. The names include Allred, Jessop, and Darger. However, it’s not unusual for family names to cross over between the LDS sects.
Sister Wives fans are eager to discover what Madison thinks about Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey. Are there more similarities between the Browns and the FLDS?
