Vanessa Cobbs, a former star of Seeking Sister Wife, has spoken out against the alleged domestic abuse by Dimitri and Ashley Snowden. Vanessa had a tumultuous relationship with Dimitri and Ashley, abruptly leaving the marriage after only a few months. Despite their tumultuous relationship, Vanessa has shown support for Christeline Petersen, who also divorced Dimitri and Ashley and accused them of abuse.
Seeking Sister Wife's Vanessa Cobbs, who was previously married to Dimitri and Ashley Snowden, has spoken out about the abuse allegations against them. Vanessa has shared her perspective on the couple's relationship, which has been marred by allegations of domestic abuse.
Vanessa first met Dimitri and Ashley on Seeking Sister Wife season 2. During the season, Vanessa got to know the couple as she decided whether to join their polygamist lifestyle. Ultimately, Vanessa chose to leave the marriage after only a few months. She admitted to the couple that they were blindsided and devastated by her abrupt departure. Fans speculate that there is more to Vanessa's departure than she let on, as recent allegations against them have raised questions about her motivations.
In April 2019, Vanessa took to her Instagram in a now-deleted post to explain her reasons for unexpectedly leaving the plural marriage she embraced on the show. Vanessa stated that her break from Dimitri and Ashley came after some soul-searching and that she still loved Dimitri and Ashley but said that she had ignored her misgivings during the marriage. At first, Vanessa's amicable message appeared to be her last word on that relationship. Then, she spoke out against her former partners, discussing the domestic abuse allegations made against Dimitri and Ashley.
To Dimitri and Ashley's deep dismay, Christeline followed Vanessa's footsteps, divorcing the Seeking Sister Wife couple shortly after their wedding and filing a restraining order against them, accusing them of abuse. While Vanessa faced her own challenges and sought support from Seeking Sister Wife alumni, Christeline's relationship with Dimitri and Ashley ended on worse terms than Vanessa's.
Vanessa's deleted social media activity revealed a complex past involving Dimitri and Ashley, which she has yet to disclose. Additionally, Taylor, a star on Seeking Sister Wife, discussed Dimitri's alleged abuse and implied that many of the polygamous couple's exes have signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). This suggests that Vanessa's enigmatic statements about her relationship with Dimitri and Ashley stem from a deeper underlying truth.
Seeking Sister Wife is available for streaming on TLC Go.
