Married at 16 in the FLDS: Leona Blackmore on Secret Weddings, Canada’s Split, and Life After Polygamy Follow Leona on tic tok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@leonamj8471?_... Support me on substack!: https://jadenjeffs.substack.com/ In this episode of the Jaden Jeffs podcast, Leona Blackmore (born Leona Johnson) shares her story of growing up in the FLDS in Hildale/Colorado City, being married at 16 in 2001, and later living in Bountiful, BC. She explains how she wanted to marry a Canadian to be near her sister and how political tension between Warren Jeffs and Winston Blackmore affected marriages and the Canadian community. Leona describes being rushed into a secret marriage trip to Mesquite, Nevada without knowing her husband’s name until clues emerged on the way, and she recalls being married by Warren Jeffs to Joseph (Winston Blackmore’s youngest son), who was 30 and already had a wife. She discusses adjusting to plural marriage, meeting her sister wife for the first time only after arriving in Canada, and the realities of jealousy, conflict, and building relationships after marriage. Leona also recounts Winston being forced to step down as bishop, families splitting over whether to recognize Warren Jeffs as prophet (including pulling children from school after a prayer incident), and long-running disputes over United Effort Plan (UEP) property in Bountiful, including conflict between groups she calls the ‘Warrenites’ and others. She shares how immigration complications led to years of living back and forth and a deportation, and she describes the devastating death of her sister wife from a brain aneurysm in 2018, a subsequent legal marriage for immigration reasons, and the eventual breakdown of her relationship with Joseph, leading to their separation. Leona reflects on her current faith as a Mormon-based Christian without claiming a specific church, her views on arranged marriage versus dating, and her guiding principle that ‘nobody’s a villain in their own story.’ 00:00 A Surprise Wedding Order: “You’re Getting Married Tomorrow” 01:05 Meet Leona Blackmore: FLDS Roots & Life in Bountiful, BC 01:51 Winston Blackmore’s Role in Canada (Bishop, Not Prophet) 03:10 Growing Up in Colorado City: “Life Was Good Back Then” 04:40 Rulon Jeffs Era: Sewing, Family Ties, and Faith 05:29 Wanting to Marry Young—and Why Canada Mattered 08:28 Warren Jeffs’ Ban on Canada Marriages & the Politics Behind It 09:54 Asking Dad to Get Married: Readiness, Pushback, and Preferences 13:36 Rushed Timeline: Wedding Dress, One Week, and No Name 18:10 Secret Nevada Caravan Wedding: Meeting the Groom at the Motel 26:39 First Days in Canada: Meeting Sister Wife & Settling In 32:30 Early Polygamy Reality Check: University in Calgary & Jealousies 36:23 First Baby, Sister Support, and Winston vs. Warren Tensions Begin 38:54 School Prayer Sparks the Split: Refusing to Acknowledge Warren Jeffs 40:36 Leadership Power Plays: Bishops, “Keys,” and the Rich Blackmore Episode 42:43 Lines Drawn in the Sand: ‘Warrenites’ vs. Everyone Else 45:03 Family Exodus & Being Labeled ‘Apostates’ 47:58 Dress Codes in Canada: Colors, Patterns, and Long Underwear 50:22 Who Controls the Land?
