Kelly Rebecca Nichols Accused Alex Jones of Being 'Cruel' during Their Marriage

Kelly Rebecca Nichols was infamous conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' wife of nearly ten years. The couple kept their relationship relatively private, but after they filed for divorce, Nichols and Jones repeatedly made headlines regarding their tumultuous marriage.

Kelly Rebecca Nichols, also known as Kelly Jones and even Violet Nichols, was married to Alex Jones for eight years between 2007 and 2015. Little was known about their relationship, as they kept it relatively hidden from the spotlight.

The former couple became parents to three children during their marriage, one of whom appeared in Jones' TV show "Infowars." However, Nichols eventually broke her silence about their marriage and custody battle.

Kelly Rebecca Nichols' Hollywood Stint under a Different Name and Current Work

Nichols was born to agricultural expert Edmund Lowe Nichols and his wife Sandra Heiligman. She's one of three siblings with Dr. Jill E. Nichols and James E. Nichols; however, she has shared little else about her background and family.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Nichols worked in the entertainment industry, mainly behind the scenes going by Violet Nichols during the stint. Her earliest work is from 1999 when she contributed her creative input to her ex-husband's documentary "Police State 2000."

She did the same in another docu-film written by Jones, "Are You Practicing Communism?" which featured archival footage of Bill Clinton. In 2000, she worked on two more films, "Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove" and "Police State 2: The Takeover" with Jones.

Nichols also dabbled in voice-acting with a minor role in the animated movie "The Waking Life," alongside Uma Thurman's ex Ethan Hawke. She has an active X account, where she describes herself as a "Mom Whistleblower, activist, speaker, [and] writer" in her bio, and currently stays in Texas.

Kelly Rebecca Nichols's Custody Battle with Alex Jones

Although Nichols and Jones began working together in the 1990s, it's unclear when their romance began. After finalizing their divorce in 2015, a tumultuous custody battle for their kids ensued.

In the initial arrangement, the children lived exclusively with Jones, while Nichols had limited visitation rights. In her trial, as she sought joint custody and to reverse this arrangement, Nichols argued that she had suffered "parental alienation" because of Jones.

Parental alienation was described as a phenomenon in which one parent "brainwashes" their kids into disliking and not wanting to be around the other parent. Nichols won the case, with her home becoming her kids' primary residence. Her ex-husband received visitation rights.

In May 2017, Nichols opened up about her relationship with Jones. Describing him as an "unhappy" and "disturbed person," she shared, "He really was very cruel to me every day of our marriage. He just made fun of me; I couldn't do anything right."

While their children still lived primarily with Jones, Nichols said she would go months without seeing them and weeks without even a phone call. She also feared her eldest son was following in Jones' footsteps in conspiracy theory peddling.

Many other issues came to light during her fight to get her children back. She launched a personal website, where she promised to reveal more exclusive details about her marriage. To this day, the mom of three still publicly comments about her ex, as she did in 2022 during his defamation case.
