FLAGSTAFF ARIZONA: Robyn Brown's ex, David Preston Jessop, and his family believe that 'Sister Wives' couple Kody and Robyn "brainwashed" their kids. Robyn has three kids with her ex, Breanna, Aurora Jessop, and Dayton Brown. David's cousin allegedly accused the couple of turning the kids against their biological father.

"The kids have been brainwashed to believe that Preston is evil, abusive and didn’t "love them," says the cousin to Without A Crystal Ball. Cousin claimed that Robyn and Kody made the kids believe that they were "abused" by David.  The kids are so much in control of the Brown couple that David's family can't make contact with them. David's family believes Robyn "monitors and tracks her kids' phones and communications." Despite ill-treatment, David's family is hopeful that the kids will someday reach out to them.

"Preston wants to keep the door open by never disparaging Robyn or saying a word publicly. He hopes that they will somehow find out the truth and reach out to him," cousin says to the outlet. David's cousin also revealed the horrifying details about Robyn's culture. David's cousin reveals that fathers and siblings "rape" their kids to teach them about s"x.

Preston family worried about Robyn Brown's kids after they revealed horrifying details about her culture

The Preston family is rightfully concerned about Robyn's daughters after learning about the distressing aspects of her cultural upbringing. According to David's cousin, Robyn grew up in the Pinesdale sect, currently grappling with 'genetic devastation,' children being born with GAN disease, a rare neurological condition characterized by weakness, seizures, and eventual death.

This grim situation has its origins in an abusive background. The cousin reveals that every child in the Pinesdale sect has reportedly endured sexual abuse by either a sibling or father. The report starkly points out that 'fathers allegedly raping their daughters to "teach them about s*x" is not uncommon within this branch.'

Given Robyn's childhood in the same culture, the Preston family understandably harbors concerns about the well-being of Robyn's daughters.

Who is 'Sister Wives' star Robyn Brown's ex?

Robyn was 21 when she got married David Preston Jessop in 1999 in Montana. The couple had three kids together before their divorce in 2007, which was initiated by David. The legal separation occurred in 2009.

In one of the episodes of 'Sister Wives,' Robyn shared the reason behind her divorce, stating, "I was married before, and in that marriage, there was a lot of fighting and there was a lot of pain. I promised myself as I came out of my divorce, I was like, ‘If I ever marry again, I’m just going to be more cautious and more careful."
