Where they are now with Brady Williams | My 5 Wives

[@monicamacneille3372]

I would LOVE to see more interviews with him AND his wives.

[@alisonwright2508]

Yay! Been excited for part 2! Fantastic interview with an inspiring man. Maybe you could also interview his wives? I’d love an update from their side! :)

[@GrowingUpinPolygamy]

Great suggestion!

[@jule72088]

I was coming to ask the same. I would love to hear their perspective.

[@ladalsa8037]

I would love to hear from the wives. So much of polygamy is from the men's point of view.

[@roberts9565]

He is well spoken and thoughtful. He is so opposite from Kody Bown.

For real. You can tell he truly loves his wives

[@sscherry77]

I am so glad this family is still a family unit . It is nice to see how they agree to share their lives together . Respect of each other seems to be what works beyond their faith

[@RyanMercer]

Nice!

[@shirleygardner5483]

Brady is so well spoken and honest. I enjoyed the interviews with him. Hope you keep in touch with him often.

[@jcthompson1194]

I wish they were the Sister Wives family. I loved them. Each wife was so different and so likable. The Browns are just a mess.

[@raimeyewens7518]

Most families featured on that network end in divorce. Jon and Kate, Matt and Amy, The Browns, The Derrico’s, Amy Slaton and others. I wouldn’t put my family on tv. Being in the public eye doesn’t seem to be good for a marriage.

[@learningaswegocitygonecoun6805]

I absolutely love that the Williams family is still together. Sorry, so to heat Bradys mom passed from breast cancer. I'm glad that his dad is still chasing Bigfoot.

[@NJ-Cathie]

While polygamy is not for everyone I think if the wives are being treated fairly and are adults then who am I to criticize. I will say Brady hits upon one thing: This is not a cheap way to live. Raising a flock of kids and supporting 4 wives takes quite a bit of money to make it work.

[@mienafriggstad3360]

5 wives

[@g.flesch9731]

Sorry polygamy is hard? He is still a polygamist & that is illegal. Stop pretending any one man & several wives (5) is a normal situation. The ones who pay the price are the kids. These adults decided to live polygamy but the kids are the victims of polygamy. The kids have no say. And one of the main goals of Polygamy is for multiple wives to have lots of kids. In 2024 having 19 - 20 kids costs lots to house, feed, cloth, educate, provide sports, or dancing, gymnastics & other interests outside of being a number for a man for his faith. And, the Mothers get government benefits by pretending they are single moms, which is illegal as well. Why do tax payers have to pay for illegally gotten benefits??? If several women want only one husband & do not have kids, fine because they will only suffer as adults without punishing a van full of kids.

[@moogstir]

​@@g.flesch9731​@g.flesch9731 I am Brady and Rosemary's youngest. I love that you want to bring the other side of this discussion to the table, but I'll also let you know that me and each of my siblings are so so happy and grateful for our parents and the amazing job they did to raise us. I don't recommend polygamy as a lifestyle just because it's unrealistic for any normal person to think they can handle more than one wife. But extraordinary people do exist and my dad is definitely a man who will do anything to be an amazing husband and father and my siblings did not "pay the price".

@@g.flesch9731I’m his child and damn man I ain’t no victim, me and my whole family grew up in a fabulous family with fabulous parents and siblings, my friend, don’t automatically assume people are victims. I won’t become a polygamist, but that’s because I only want to deal with one woman. But if handled correctly (like my dad’s) it can actually bring exceptional positivity to children and community.

[@tweetyluvr302007]

I love Brady and his wives. They are all down to earth and you could see that they all love each other.

[@janetvanvoorst9680]

The fact that Brady says why would you marry if not in Love, speaks Volumes about him. He is an honest and caring human, you can see it in his wives and children which is so refreshing. My understanding was he was not willing to sacrifice his wives, children or family to continue filming when all that TLC wanted was Drama to pull in ratings on the show.

[@lquick6]

I’ve always thought they were the most exceptional family. Brady is an exceptional exceptional human being. So glad to catch up on them.

Very interesting - he is really sympathetic. Mormonism may be false, but it produces high quality people that genuinely want a connection with God.

[@mmoore3743]

I don’t think any church is the true church just as no church is false. Every single church believes in some false doctrines and has some true doctrines. The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints is no different. They truly love and serve God and focus on being good people.

[@k-j-k]

To all those spewing negativity, what do you expect him to do after leaving the religion (cult)? Would you applaud him if he picked 1 wife and left the others to observe monogamy? What's done is done; kudos to this man for taking care of his family.

[@keairahager3275]

Do a video tour of Brady’s house!!

[@Familylawgroup]

I remember Maddie Brown and maybe even McKelt, wanted to be in LDS and they were told that they insisted each of them were required to publicly denounce polygamy, the AuB and, officially, denounce their parents. Their daughters refused to denounce their parents and that seems so countrary to the mission of any church. North Korea punishes three generations of family for deeds of grandparents and grandkids. If kids will be charged for parental errors, then why baptize the babies. Being accepted or rejected from any legit religious group should not be weaponized against enemies of said church.

[@kathypatterson4630]

So right about grandchildren!

[@katwitanruna]

I have known a number of polyamorous people. It’s when it’s forced that it becomes a problem. Polyamory is much harder than monogamy.

[@beverlyhill6783]

[@jacbox3889]

I'm googling quorums of wives early Mormon and not finding anything like what this brother is saying. Do you have a link where I can find this? It is very interesting about Temple robes and number of wives. I'm a member of mainstream LDS Church.

[@stephaniefryar6728]

I'm glad that it's working well but I tilted my head when he described how he fell in love with each one...that of course he wanted to spend the rest of his live dedicated to them. How is it dedication if it's split between others

[@rinanicole2174]

If you have more than one friend, are you splitting your dedication to one friend by having another friend? We all juggle many relationships and dedications. We are all dedicated to more than one thing and one person. We dedicate ourselves to careers, hobbies, friends, family, romantic relationships, religion, spirituality… Just because I’m dedicated to my career doesn’t mean I’m less dedicated to my husband. Just because my husband is dedicated to me doesn’t mean he is less dedicated to others or that I want him to be. It is simply different dynamics. Or just because I’m dedicated to my middle sister doesn’t mean I’m less dedicated to my baby sister. Dedication is simply being purposeful about something or someone. Choosing to care and invest in something or someone.

[@jewelgazer]

I’m sorry but comparing friends to a spouse is like trying to compare apples to oranges. It doesn’t work!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. My husband had a severe aortic dissection! Doctors chased me down hallways with a DNR saying I been a doctor twenty years never seen anyone survive! I said Jesus said he will heal him and no DNR! Sorry Jesus said No! He looked at me like I grew horns and stomped away. Six to eight months later. On a Friday the doctor said it will likely take many years of speech therapy before he speaks well again! Ok can’t argue. It’s all groans and a lot of frustration. I come back Monday morning with his mother and he looks at me and puts his finger over the vent hole and speaks flawless English! He says I’m playing their game they never come in here! WOW! When the doctors came in and he talked to them they lost all color and just whispered this is not even possible! Miracle after miracle and my husband is good now! There’s always hope! Especially if you ask Jesus!

You can’t have polygamy and not have it be religious. If you take the religion out of it - there’s no “base” for it.

[@raimeyewens7518]

This family is one of the only ones I saw that didn’t give me the ick! The one I found most disturbing was the guy with all of the trailers in the desert. The Tom Green documentary was so creepy. One of his sons thought he had a girlfriend his own age but his father was trying to marry her. A mother and daughter were both married to him and had a baby in the same bed and the same day.

He's painting a world of Butterflies, Unicorns, and Rainbows. He trying to convince himself and others everything is perfect. With 5 women, all with different personalities, wants, hopes, needs and desires along with 30+ children in one huge house/complex and everything runs smoothly and everyone gets along. Sorry but I'm not buying what he's trying to sell.

[@JulieBeaZ]

He seems “nice”, but they could all be friends that live near him and his wife so the kids can be together. Continuing the sham of loving them all equally seems gross.

[@Charlotte-hv6ll]

Laeving a comment for the algorithm

[@hkashefi]

What I remember about this show is that one of the wives (who had children) wanted to do IVF to have another baby. He was resisting because of the cost and wife kept pouting and pushing. I thought it was so selfish and ridiculous since they already had a ton of kids and limited funds. At least this guy supports his family.

[@michellesunshinestar]

I ended up hating my MIL. She didn't want me to be in school, even though my patriarchal blessing said to continue my education.

[@allyjmjm]

It is remarkable to watch this video after your video about the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and observe how less judgmental you are of someone living polygamy than you are of women who drink alcohol and swear. It really makes the point of the Hulu show, that there is a Mormon culture that Mormons and ex-Mormons are all part of in Utah and surrounding states, because you still hold on to the Mormon value that swearing and moderate alcohol consumption are somehow worse than extreme religious practices that devalue women.

[@monicamacneille3372]

Even youtubers are human beings! Sam and Melissa are doing their best, and I'm sure they're learning new things all the time. Some of their reactions to other groups made me cringe a bit (their misunderstanding of the use of hallucinogens in traditions all over the world for example), but I guess I"d recommend showing them some grace. They are just people, and they seem like pretty awesome people, full of Love and Kindness and trying to find their way in the world like the rest of us.

[@sherryg1838]

I didn’t get that impression at all. I think they were surprised that the women would swear and drink, yet still remain Mormon. They didn’t understand why they would be Mormon, yet not follow Mormon rules. Melissa even said she didn’t mean to be judgy, but it was hard to listen to because of her upbringing. As for Brady, he has left religion and is not a practicing Mormon or LDS fundamentalist. Sam and Melissa have always said they are not fans of polygamy. Also, how they respond to viewing a show is different to how they respond to the actual person. I believe they did have some criticisms of the actual show. However, they are kind people and aren’t going to be confrontational when they are talking to the person directly.

[@allyjmjm]

@@monicamacneille3372 Yes, they are human but they can become more self aware (e.g., with knowledge of other religions and cultures, with reflection about how many of the things taught in the LDS church are far more harmful than swearing and moderate alcohol consumption). My comment was pointing out that they are usually very forgiving and sympathetic toward people who do and believe in harmful things, so it was surprising that they seemed incensed about swearing even as they reminded themselves to try not to be judgmental. The behavior of a couple active LDS men on the show should be more worthy of judgment than the alcohol use and swearing.
