Title: Kody Brown Calls Ex Christine Brown “Machiavellian” and Admits Anxiety Attacks on “Sister Wives”
Subtitle: Tense encounter between Kody and Christine Brown showcases their strained relationship
Date: January 2023
In a recent episode of TLC’s “Sister Wives,” Kody Brown didn’t hold back when expressing his feelings towards his ex-wife, Christine Brown, who recently relocated from Arizona to Utah. The encounter, which marked their first meeting since the move, shed light on the animosity that still lingers between the former couple.
Reflecting on their conversation about holiday plans, Kody referred to Christine as “Machiavellian” in his confessional interview, accusing her of playing nice while stabbing him in the back. It was evident that Kody’s resentment towards her departure was still a sore spot, as he admitted to experiencing anxiety attacks when driving past their former shared home in Arizona.
The tension between the two escalated during a lunch, which was captured in the previous episode. Kody explicitly stated that he would rather continue “hating” Christine than try to be amicable and share space with her. The public announcement of their split in November 2021 marked the end of their over 25-year “spiritual” marriage, leading to subsequent episodes documenting the messy aftermath.
Their Christmas visitation plans, particularly concerning their 13-year-old daughter, Truely, became a source of contention for the former couple. However, while Kody seemed weighed down by negative emotions, Christine appeared to be in a considerably lighter mood during the encounter. Her laughter at their daughter Gwendlyn’s impersonation of Kody, portraying his struggle with COVID-19 during the previous season, triggered Kody’s reaction.
In her confessional interview on the latest episode, Christine expressed that she doesn’t think about Kody as much as he believes. She tried to encourage him to admit his anger towards her so that they could move on and co-parent their children effectively. Christine attributed Kody’s failure to successfully practice polygamy to his actions over the past decade, emphasizing the importance of not picking favorites among wives and advocating for equal time spent at each household.
In response, Kody accused Christine of speaking negatively about him to their children behind his back. However, Christine vehemently denied this accusation and clarified that she only serves as a sounding board for her kids when they seek assistance.
Kody and Christine share four other biological children, aside from Truely and Gwendlyn, namely Aspyn Thompson, Mykelti Padron, Paedon Brown, and Ysabel Brown.
As of January 2023, Kody finds himself unexpectedly living a monogamous lifestyle with his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, as his two other wives, Janelle Brown and Meri Brown, have also left him.
Episodes of “Sister Wives” continue to delve into the complex dynamics and challenges faced by the Brown family. Fans can catch the show every Sunday at 10 p.m. on TLC.
