Shirley from “Escaping Polygamy” reportedly left the Order, the polygamous group the show focuses on, and has been living independently.
“Escaping Polygamy” is a reality TV series that follows three sisters who left the Kingston Clan, a polygamous group also known as the Order, and now help others escape such groups. Shirley was featured in one of the episodes where she expressed her desire to leave the Order due to the oppressive lifestyle and the lack of freedom, particularly for women.
After her appearance on the show, Shirley managed to successfully leave the group. The process of leaving such a tightly controlled community is often challenging and risky, as members are typically isolated from the outside world and may face various forms of retaliation or shunning from the group. Despite these challenges, Shirley, like many others who have been helped by the show’s hosts, took the brave step to start a new life.
Since leaving, Shirley has been adjusting to her new life outside of the Order. The details of her current situation are not publicly disclosed to protect her privacy and safety. Many former members of polygamous sects choose to keep a low profile to avoid drawing attention from their former communities and to start anew. The show has been instrumental in raising awareness about the difficulties faced by those who leave polygamous groups and has provided support to individuals like Shirley in their journey towards independence.
