How things turned out for Jeffs' favorite wife Naomie Jessop
Naomie Jessop, through whose point of view the entire documentary series, Preaching Evil, will be shown, is the former wife of both Warren Jeffs and Rulon. She was reportedly Warren's 'favorite wife'. Unfortunately, Naomie Jessop was one of the first minor brides as well who was passed on to Jeffs.
While Jessop was an FLDS or Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints member and valuable partner of Warren, she allegedly took several secret trips with the cult leader all over the country.
Jessop was seen traveling with the cult leader on his motorcycle on numerous covert vacations. She would even accompany Jeffs when the notorious cult leader ran away from the FBI after he ended up on the FBI's most wanted slate.
In August 2006, Warren was finally arrested for good. At that time, Jessop and her brother were with him but were later released based on a lack of evidence. Jessop then decided to keep a low profile, and thus, no one heard much of her until Peacock's Preaching Evil: A Wife on The Run with Warren Jeffs.
What is the Peacock series all about?
Preaching Evil: A Wife on The Run with Warren Jeffs is a docu-series that highlights the story of the infamous Mormon fundamentalist Warren Jeffs through his “favorite wife” Naomi Jessop.
Since Jeffs’ arrest, the series is the first time that she's come out in front of cameras. In the series, Jessop mentiones that his father had six wives, and she assumed that it was a normal thing to do. Jessop wanted to go to college after graduating from high school, but her father told her that “the prophet” Rulon Jeffs (Warren’s 83-year-old father) would be marrying her.
Rulon passed away at the age of 92, so Warren decided to acquire the 17 wives. He secretly married Jessop and six others. According to the series, Warren married Jessop’s 12-year-old sister Merrianne in 2006.
Speaking about the reunion, Jessop said in the docu-series:
“She [Merrianne] wanted to marry Warren. Before she got married, would write ‘Merrianne Jeffs’ all over her papers. She wanted it. Now, whether a 12-year-old can decide that or not, I can’t say. I really don’t know.”
It was the same year that Warren ended up on the FBI's Most Wanted list. He fled with Jessop and changed their lifestyle to blend in with the public. As they moved from one location to another, Jessop began to question her husband’s motivations.
