Benjamin Brown (@thefreshkingbenjamin on TikTok) doesn’t watch Sister Wives, but he does have strong opinions about reality TV show that portray polygamy in a positive light. “We were abused,” he says about his own experience in a polygamist family.
Kody Brown has been a reality star of the TLC show Sister Wives for 12 years now, but showcasing his life and relationship drama isn’t his only job. His wives Meri, Janelle, and his ex-wife Christine (and several of the adult children) also are involved in MLM businesses to make money on the side. Both Christine and Kody sell Cameo requests, but it’s been confirmed that Kody also sells something else. It’s unclear if Robyn has a job other than the show.
In a disturbing update from Christine and Kody Brown’s son Paedon, he has revealed that his sister Gwendlyn won’t talk to him because he hit her.
Sister Wives star Robyn Brown’s stepdad, or spiritual father, has passed away at the age of 80. Paul left behind two sister wives, including Robyn’s mother, in addition to eight children and 33 grandchildren.
23-year-old Paedon Brown is speaking out in multiple interviews about his parents’ divorce. He has a fantastic relationship with his mom Christine, who now lives in the same state he lives in, but feels more distant from his dad Kody. However, he doesn’t judge Kody for choosing to spend his life with Robyn, who Peadon views as Kody’s soulmate.
After the Brown family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, and built four houses in a cul-de-sac, they had dreams of their kids returning to there to visit or maybe even building their own homes. Since the adults made the move to Flagstaff, Arizona, they changed their future hopes to a dream of building a home base on a plot of land known as “Coyote Pass.” Now they have at least one Brown child settling down in Las Vegas as previously planned. Logan Brown and his fiancée, who are set to marry in October of this year (2022) are building a house there.
Sister Wives‘s Robyn and Janelle Brown have very different viewpoints when it comes to how hard Christine and Kody tried to save their 25-year marriage. Robyn is angry about Christine leaving, feels it’s a “waste,” and doesn’t think she tried. Meanwhile, Janelle thinks that both Christine and Kody tried so much that she repeated the word “tried” multiple times during the third part of their Season 16 One-on-One interview with Sukanya Krishnan.
Many viewers are hoping for some kind of spin-off from Sister Wives’ Christine Brown after she divorced Kody. While she won’t be appearing on TV on her own, Christine does have a new web series. It’s a cooking show where she shares the recipes for some of her favorite tasty, easy-to-make dishes.
Although Christine Brown believes she is spiritually divorced from Kody Brown, her former sister wife Robyn doesn’t think the divorce is legit because it wasn’t done through the church.
Kody Brown seems to no longer be actively participating in the polygamous lifestyle when it comes to love and romance. Though he still may consider himself to be spiritually married to three women at this point, he has expressed that he has no desire for romantic love or any sort of intimate bond with Meri. When he told Christine he no longer wanted intimacy from her, she ultimately decided to leave him. For a while, viewers didn’t know where Kody stood with his second wife Janelle, but he is now making it clear that he is not in love, or “in sync” with her. He has previously revealed that he took “romance” off the table for Janelle, and now she’s saying that they are “good friends” in a committed relationship.
Meri Brown revealed on Part 1 of the Sister Wives One-on-One special that airs tonight (Sunday, January 30, 2021) that she has not had a physical relationship with Kody in over 10 years, which is years before the Catfish scandal. Neither Kody nor Meri have gone into detail about why their relationship first broke apart, but they are both adamant that it was before the Catfish situation. In their 2015 book
A big question from Sister Wives fans since Christine Brown left her polygamist marriage with Kody Brown as if she would seek out another polygamist marriage. In a teaser for next week’s sit-down Tell All (part 2) Christine lets the viewers know whether or not polygamy is still an option for her going forward.
