Where Is Wendell Jeffs Now? A New Peacock Docuseries Has Answers

The chaos, confusion, brainwashing, and abandonment Wendell felt as a child is something he’s able to speak about now with a fresh perspective. Of course, he had to leave the church first, which wasn’t easy.

“To be honest with you, for the first few years my mental health wasn’t great, and I think the biggest problem was that I was too proud to really admit that I wasn’t in a great space, mentally,” Wendell said about getting away from the FLDS with his mother and sister. Something that he strived to do first was really find himself, and try to figure out who he was separate from the church.
