The Winder Family earned a good reputation when they debuted on Seeking Sister Wife. While fans would call out many other plural families, they liked the Winders the best. That’s because they felt they were the only ones who were able to maintain a polygamous marriage rather well compared to all other families featuring their stories on screen.
But they haven’t been a part of the TLC show since Season 3. They either seemingly quit, or TLC decided to look for other polygamous families who would contribute to adding drama to the show. Amidst all this, the Winder family decided to slam one of the trolls who was talking ill about them on the internet. But they quickly decided to apologize to them, too. But why?
Seeking Sister Wife: The Winders Apologize To The Troll After Defending Themselves! Why So?
The Winder family had a very simple premise when they debuted on Seeking Sister Wife. Colton had two wives, Tami being the former one and Sophie being the latter one. While they attempted to expand their family by trying to find more spouses for Colton, it didn’t work out.
So, the family decided to shift their focus by expanding their family by having kids instead. Due to their storyline falling flat and them not actively looking for more sister wives, TLC probably decided to cut them off from the upcoming seasons. Amidst all this, some trolls began to speak ill about the Winders. One account on Reddit slammed Colton by calling him a “selfish pr*ck” and tagged Tami as “depressed.”
At the same time, they also called Winders brainwashed Cult members. So, the family took it upon themselves to speak out. They shared the screenshot of the impolite comment from Reddit and wondered why the troll wanted to share their “ill-informed opinions” instead of doing something productive.
But after a while, the Winders from Seeking Sister Wife apologized for their take. They didn’t want to delete the post but apologized to the troll for their take, as it wasn’t a good post for them to comment on. At the same time, the family emphasized how a discussion on depression was important. But it shouldn’t be done at the cost of shaming one’s religion, beliefs, or lifestyle.
Seeking Sister Wife: Why Did The Winders Quit The Show?
The Winders had a good going when they were a part of Seeking Sister Wife. While their attempts to add another wife to the family was unsucessful, they were still happy with one another. Colton, Tami, and Sophie shared a very civil and cordial relationship. While there used to be instances of jealousy in their plural bond, they dealt with it in the right way instead of causing commotion or dama.
Many fans believe this must be the reason why TLC decided to invite other families to the show and got rid of the Winders. After all, their storyline lacked drama, and it might not be beneficial for the ratings. In any case, the Winders are still thriving despite being away from the camera.
Since their exit from the show, The Winders have already welcomed two more kids and alreay had one. Now, Sophie is pregnant with her second child and together all of them will have 4 kids now. Keep an eye on TV Season & Spoilers for all the latest Seeking Sister Updates.
