Heather Gay’s Surviving Mormonism Streams in Full on Peacock, Spotlighting LDS Abuse and Conversion-Therapy Claims

The three-part series centers survivor accounts to raise questions about LDS accountability.

Overview

  • All three episodes became available on Peacock on Nov. 12 following the Nov. 11 Bravo premiere, with international streaming on Hayu.
  • Participants describe childhood sexual abuse and assert that local leaders suppressed or failed to report allegations, with some cases connected to lawsuits and settlements.
  • Former conversion-therapy figure David Matheson recounts practices promoted within church circles, including tightly regulated physical-contact exercises.
  • Gay says the goal is to give survivors a platform rather than attack a religion, though she has described being raised in a cult.
  • The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has broadly stated it condemns abuse, and outlets report no comprehensive rebuttal to the series.
