Sister Wives is back on our TV screens, and in Sunday’s episode, Christine Brown, the former wife of Kody Brown, opened up about how Kody’s marriage to fourth wife, Robyn Brown, changed their relationship.
“I felt like Robyn had a better couch. I felt like she had better dishes and better decorations and like so many things,” Christine told producers. “Why am I left with all these scraps all the time? Scraps of time, scraps of stuff.”
After Robyn joined the show, viewers noticed that Kody appeared to treat her more favorably than his other three wives, a fact that Kody denied until his other three wives eventually decided to leave him.
During the pandemic, Kody quarantined with Robyn and their children and hardly visited his other families, not even to support his daughter Ysabel’s back surgery.
“I’m not traveling with Christine and Ysabel on the way to surgery, I’m not going to surgery, I think it’s very risky,” Kody told the cameras at the time. “I also feel like a total hypocrite if I’m not keeping the rules that I’m asking — begging, literally begging — everybody to keep.”
Christine has since moved on and is now happily married, but she says the marriage to Kody had seriously diminished her self-esteem at one point.
“Robyn was up on this pedestal and the rest of us were just lacking. I felt like I was lacking in the relationship,” Christine added.
