SEEKING Sister Wife star Dimitri Snowden demanded his wives be naked at all times and “pushed threesomes” with his first “wife” Ashley, their former sister wife Ariadne Joseph claimed.
Dimitri, 40, and Ashley, 34, have appeared on TLC’s Seeking Sister Wife for three seasons, as they have been unable to successfully welcome a permanent second sister wife to join their family.
In an exclusive interview with The Celeb Report, Ariadne claimed she moved from Louisiana to Georgia in 2016 to live with the Snowden family before they joined Seeking Sister Wife.
Dimitri reached out to Ariadne after meeting in an online polygamy group in 2012.
After talking on-and-off for years, Ariadne agreed to fly to Georgia, where the Snowdens were living at the time, with her 3-year-old daughter.
The professional actress explained of the visit: “He was pushing and pressing and rushing. I would ask, ‘What is the rush? Let’s get to know each other.’
“They were living in this two-bedroom apartment. Then there were talks of we’re all going to pick a place. They made it very appealing by saying we’re going to move out of this apartment and all of us are going to decide where we’re going to live next. That way we have a fresh start.
“He convinced me to sell my furniture, my apartment and move out there.”
When Ariadne moved to Georgia with her daughter, she was allegedly welcomed by a “naked” Ashley.
She claimed: “When I walked into the house, I greeted my potential sister wife with no clothes on. He required me to be naked too.
“I was okay with me being naked. I didn’t mind being naked. But I thought that was something we would do in the privacy of our own room.”
Despite the no clothes rule, Ariadne said the couple, who share three children, were “pleasant,” as Dimitri even proposed to her shortly after she arrived.
She continued: “Ashley seemed sweet. The first month was blissful. I was really happy the first month. I wanted to be happy. I had taken a leap of faith trusting him with myself and my children.”
But that changed when Dimitri had other demands, including allegations that Ashley be in the room when he had sex with her.
Ariadne claimed: “It was incredibly uncomfortable. We all slept in the same bed. This was his requirement. Him, me and Ashley shared a bed.
She then claimed Dimitri tried to make her have a “threesome” with Ashley.
Ariadne, who has three children, alleged: “He tried to get me to have a threesome with him and Ashley many times and I declined many times. This was when he and her were engaging and he wanted me to participate.
“He said ‘Well, hold her hand.’ I held her hand and it was weird. I was facing them because I’m holding her hand. He starts to kiss me. He’s pushing my head towards her and I’m pushing my head away. I’m not trying to participate. I grab his hand and I move my head. He didn’t try that again.”
After nine months of living with Dimitri and Ashley, Ariadne moved out with her children.
She said: “They’re very convincing, cunning, manipulative and believable. They had me fooled for a long time. These people bring humiliation to the women that are sincere coming into the family and being part of this lifestyle.”
Dimitri, Ashley and TLC did not respond to a request for comment on these allegations.
Ariadne’s shocking claims come after sister wife Christeline Petersen, who is on the current season, filed motions seeking restraining orders against Dimitri and Ashley in March.
On Seeking Sister Wife, Dimitri is spiritually married to first wife Ashley, who he shares three children with, and is dating South African native Christeline and Georgia-based Henna artist Tayler Monique.
In the request for a restraining order obtained by The Celeb Report, Christeline, 32, listed her relationship with Dimitri as her “husband.”
The request was temporarily granted, but a permanent order was not because she failed to meet her burden of proof.
Christeline claimed the most recent incident of abuse occurred on January 13, 2021 with only she and her husband present.
She claimed in the filing: “I was woken up by him slamming my head into the headboard of the bed and he was yelling at me. My head was slammed into the headboard several times.”
She claimed she suffered “pain” and filed a police report on January 22, 2021.
Christeline went on to allege the abuse happened “numerous times in the last year.”
She claimed in court documents: “He choked me during sex, even though I repeatedly told him not to. The more I struggled, the more he enjoyed it. I stopped saying no after a few times, because any struggle by me would prolong the sex and choking.
“One time I got very dizzy and felt like I was going to pass out.”
She claimed she suffered from “bruises and redness” around her neck and “scratches” from his nails.
She requested her two daughters, ages 10 and 5, be protected in the petition filed on March 12, 2021.
Christeline alleged in court papers: “He is not the father of my two daughters and they are afraid of him as often yells and punches the walls or furniture.”
She claimed she did not give Dimitri notice of the filing, as she was “afraid that the violence would reoccur” if she informed him.
Dimitri was ordered to not “harass, attack, strike, threaten, assault (sexually or otherwise), hit, follow, stalk” and more.
He was ordered to stay at least 100 feet from her person, home, job, car and school of her children.
The Celeb Report can also confirm Christeline filed a restraining order against Ashley as well.
A temporary order was not approved and the case was dismissed.
Dimitri and Ashley have not publicly commented on the restraining orders and did not respond to a request for comment.
In the request filed on the same day, Christeline listed Ashley as the “girlfriend of husband.”
She claimed of a January 21, 2021 incident: “She shoved me and tried to prevent me from leaving the home my husband and I shared with her. She also threw a bottle at me.
“She was verbally abusive and called me names. My children are scared of her due to her yelling at them and the violence in the home between her and my husband, and me and her.”
She said she suffered “no injuries” from Ashley’s alleged abuse.
Christeline also asked the court to protect her two daughters from Ashley, as she alleged: “My kids are scared of her due to her constant yelling at them and her violence against me and her and my husband.”
Christeline filed for divoce from Dimitri on Tuesday.
On this week’s Seeking Sister Wife, Tayler left the family because she clashed with Ashley while Christeline stayed with her two daughters.
Last season, Dimitri married Vanessa Cobb in a spiritual ceremony.
After the finale aired, Vanessa revealed she left the family.
Both parties did not give an exact reason for the split.
Dimitri explained how Vanessa left to visit family and her loved ones returned to pack her belongings.
