‘Sister Wives’ Star Kody Brown Says He’s ‘Sick’ of Being ‘Guilted’ For Loving Wife Robyn: “We’ve Been B***h-Slapped for It”
The four-part Sister Wives One-on-One kicked off on Sunday with host Sukanya “Suki” Krishnan rehashing the events that played out in Season 19 of the TLC series, and Kody Brown insisting (once again) that he is being guilted for loving his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown.
As fans of ‘Sister Wives’ know, Kody and Robyn’s road to monogamy began in 2021 when Christine Brown announced she was leaving the father of 18. The following year, Janelle Brown revealed that she and Kody had separated and in January 2023, Meri Brown confirmed that her nearly nonexistent marriage with Kody had ended as well.
While Kody has regularly taken part in some major revisionist history in the wake of his trio of divorces, he revealed during Sunday’s One-on-One that he’s had enough of being “guilted” by others for finding a “higher love” with his fourth and only remaining wife.
“ … I’ll tell you what, there’s a divine aspect about my relationship with Robyn and we have been b***h slapped for it, and I’m sick of it,” Kody told Suki, who struggled to get a word in edgewise amid Kody’s rant.
“ … Like, I love this woman, I want peace in this relationship, but I’m to the point where I’m walking around flipping two birds ‘cause I am so sick and tired of being guilted for loving Robyn,” he said.
Suki responded by accusing Kody of “contradicting” himself, referring to the fact that moments earlier, Kody claimed it was impossible to love people– spouses, children, friends or otherwise– in the same way; however, Kody disagreed with Suki’s accusation.
“How?! How did I [contradict myself],” he asked, to which Suki explained, “Because you said that you couldn’t love a person the same way [that you love another].”
“I was in sales all my life,” Kody replied. “There was always a better salesman … Am I supposed to go murder the better salesman because I’m so jealous that he’s getting all the deals? Let’s get real. This is bulls**t that just pisses me off, Suki.”
Despite Suki later acknowledging Kody and Robyn’s “deep love” for one another, Kody continued to insist that this “deep love” had nothing to do with three of his marriages ending.
“Wait, you cannot ever blame the fact that Robyn and I had a deep love on the way that these other relationships went,” he told Suki. “You can’t do that, not when you’re in polygamy … .”
Kody then attempted to explain the situation to Suki, claiming that Robyn was good at communicating with him, loving him and negotiating with him, while also being good at “respecting herself.”
“If another wife wasn’t in that space, they still had the opportunity to do it,” he added. “Each of these relationships had its own opportunity for success and failure, based upon the two people who are married.”
When asked about Kody’s claims, Janelle assured Suki that she does have respect for herself, while Christine insisted that her life used to be wrapped up in not only what the family needed and wanted, but also what Kody needed and wanted. As for whether or not she felt that Kody respected her during their marriage, Christine said she was unsure if Kody “would feel like he would need to.”
“I don’t know, maybe in some roles,” she added. “Maybe in some ways he did.”
Meanwhile, Kody told Suki that out of his three ex-wives, Christine was the spouse he respected the least.
“I think I actually had way more respect for Meri than I did for Janelle, and probably way more respect for Janelle and Meri than I did for Christine, to be fair,” he said.
Part 2 of the ‘Sister Wives’ Season 19 Tell-All airs Sunday on TLC.
