A review of Theill's writings, litigation history, and social media footprint shows that Theill has accused her own children, her parents, her therapists, and her attorneys of abuse and neglect, while waging a quixotic legal crusade against them since the late 1990s.
Personal blog posts and Theill's memoir liken life within the People of Praise to Margaret Atwood's novel The Handmaid's Tale.
Theill writes that she and her husband joined the Corvallis, Ore., branch of the People of Praise in 1979, but that chapter was not established until 1982, according to a spokesman for the group.
"Neither the men nor women leaders in the People of Praise Corvallis branch are aware that there were ever any allegations of physical or mental abuse concerning Ms. Theill and her husband at the time," People of Praise spokesman Sean Connolly told the Washington Free Beacon.
Theill claims her own attorneys conspired against her when she sued Warner for divorce in 1995.
"The State Courts and State of Oregon should restore Ms. Theill's good name and offer Ms. Theill an apology for the harm and wrongful removal of her children since the children have aged out and been brainwashed to reject their mother," the lawsuit reads.
Warner, her ex-husband, prevailed in a 2013 defamation lawsuit against Theill and an associate who runs an alternative news site called Salem-News.com.
