0:00.0	Derry's case, we are covering another twisted cult, and it feels like a while since I have done a cult.
0:05.8	And today's cult is also a very recent cult.
0:08.8	Because back in 2020, a woman called Chloe Driver found herself in the middle of a polygamous cult,
0:14.3	where she was married to a man named Brian Joyce, who was also married to two other women. So he had three wives and Brian,
0:23.6	Wow, prepare yourselves for him. He makes my blood boil. He makes me so, so angry.
0:30.6	Because he is the evil cult leader from today's case. He was misogynistic, narcissistic,
0:35.6	an abuser and very, very cunning and manipulative.
0:39.7	He would force his followers into very strange practices, for example, drinking their own urine.
0:46.3	He was also physically abusive to all of his wives, he completely isolated them from society,
0:52.2	and he got them all pregnant. Because of course, that is

1:29.9	But I have gotten quite a few requests to cover this case because the trial has literally just happened.
1:34.7	And I assume some of you were following the trial like I was. So let's get into it.
1:50.7	Chloe Driver was born in the year 2000, an exact date of birth is not known, and I believe she grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, with her parents and siblings, although it was really
1:56.6	hard to confirm that. And growing up, Chloe's mom has described Chloe as a beautiful young girl.
2:02.9	She did gymnastics. She played softball. She was described as a spitfire. She just seemed to know
2:08.5	everything. She was extremely intelligent, had a load of friends. And according to Chloe's mom,
2:13.2	Chloe had a perfectly happy childhood. However, Chloe does not have the same account of her childhood.
