  Everyone has truly shown me so much grace and kindness! I’m in awww of the genuine respect I have felt from around world! Y’all are truly amazing and I just want to say THANK YOU FOR SEEING ME!  Warren said, “The World Does Not Need to Know You Exist!” As the tool to give us the self will to stay in hiding…. NO MORE HIDING! Life is too short to not live every moment to its fullest!

  It’s maddening that these girls were given away by their own fathers dammit…

  Layla is so strong, kind, and her story is so empowering. If I lived in chronic pain, my body and brain in starvation, had an ulcer from downing garlic and lemon juice, had only combative relationships with my peers, felt unworthy everyday, I probably would have died. You’re a miracle, Layla! So glad you made it out!

  If she wrote a memoir, I would definitely purchase it. It’d be even better to hear it read in her own voice with her emotion. What an inspiring and sweet soul. 🥺

  These poor women, and girls.  They literally just didn't know any better.  My husband would NEVER comment on my weight.  My body has fluctuated a lot over the years. Our bond is so much more than our shape and size. Everyone deserves to be loved for who they are.

  This is why Warren Jeffs deserves to rot in prison in solitary confinement

  So sad that she was so brainwashed and manipulated. I’m glad she figured out a way to have a more normal life.

  The amount of mental abuse you all suffered is heart breaking. 😢 And to think there are people still living under this psycho’s twisted world is sickening.

  When she says she felt like she was being trafficked to her wedding... she&apos;s correct. She was. 29 year difference between her and Warren makes my heart hurt... as I know she wasn&apos;t close to the youngest wife. <br><br>Thank you for doing these interviews. I truly believe it&apos;s important work you&apos;re doing
