Based on a chilling true story, Lifetime’s Mormon Mom Gone Wrong: The Ruby Franke Story will premiere Saturday, Oct. 26 at 8/7c.
Lifetime’s The Ruby Franke Story tells the real story of six adorable kids, a loving husband and Ruby Franke (Emilie Ullerup) who made up “8 Passengers,” a web series documenting the group’s every-day-life and Ruby’s LDS-influenced parenting style.
To viewers, Ruby had the perfect life, but everything took a turn for the worse when Ruby’s marriage counselor Jodi Hildebrandt (Heather Locklear), entered their lives. After Jodi moves into Ruby’s home, the environment becomes toxic and Ruby’s husband is forced to move out.
Jodi and Ruby’s views of disciplining children were not “strict parenting,” but actually abuse. However, when Ruby’s 12-year-old son escaped from Ruby and Jodi’s real-life house-of-horrors with clear signs of abuse, the truth finally came to light.
