Old footage from the third season of the TLC reality show Seeking Sister Wife showed cast members Dimitri and Ashley Snowden meeting their potential South African spouse, Christeline Petersen.

The 2021 video, posted to TikTok on 1 December 2025, showed the Snowdens and their kids sitting with Christeline in their kitchen, spending time with her after her 20-hour flight from her home country to Los Angeles.

Dimitri said in his confessional:

In 2021, People reported that the South African-born mother of two filed a restraining order against the American couple. She received one for Dimitri but not one for Ashley, because the court needed more information on their relationship. The documents claimed that Dimitri allegedly slammed her head against a headboard and that she endured physical abuse during sexual interactions.

Christeline also claimed that Ashley was allegedly physically and verbally abusive by allegedly throwing a bottle at her and shoving her to prevent her from leaving their shared home.

"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," Christeline alleged.
