They show a happier side to living a polygamous life on their TLC reality show, but a new entry into the reality TV world which shows another side of polygamy may be proving that the family is faking their happiness in front of the cameras.

Is Meri In A New Relationship?

Jessica Christensen, one of the stars of the new Lifetime Movie Network series Escaping Polygamy, spoke to Fox News about the show, and revealed that she doesn't think the Browns are showing a full account of their life together, because her experience growing up in the Kingston clan in Utah, things were never quite the way they seem to be on the Brown's show, Sister Wives.

"They act like they are all happy at family dinners...but then they separate and they are all gossiping...I don't know any families--I didn't grow up with any families--that look like that," she said.

However, though she may not believe the Browns are completely truthful, she doesn't think that their portrayal of polygamy (which is largely more positive), is a bad thing because it allows her new show to show the other side of it.

"Our show, we want to be raw. I want people to see the good and the bad. This is where polygamy deviates, and this is where polygamy is crazy."

Christensen, along with her sisters Andrea and Shanell are starring in their show as they try to do something for those who like them, grew up in the Kingston Clan--and desire to escape. The sisters all ran away years ago, and are now hoping to help others do the same.
