'Sister Wives' Kody Brown Says Marriage To Christine Involved 'Manipulation & Temper Tantrums'

"Sister Wives" star Kody Brown is calling out his ex-wife!

The spiritual marriage between Kody and Christine Brown, which had lasted for twenty-five years, sadly came to an end last year. After releasing a simple statement at the time, he opened up on the show's confessional and let it all out, including what might have caused the separation. 

The reality TV star has had enough of keeping it all in, as evidenced by his recent outpour during a sit down with host Sukanya Krishnan on the "Sister Wives: One on One" episode. He disclosed that their marriage might have been over before it was announced because he realized he did not want to condone her games anymore. 

The 53-year-old admitted that at the time of their break up, he was stunned, and according to him, "Initially, my issue was I thought Christine was playing a game. I was ambivalent. I was trying to be stoic about it."

Kody said he did this because he was used to her having an angle for everything, adding, "She's a game player. From the time we were married, [it was] manipulation, pouting, temper tantrums, just behavior things." 

He also noted that some of the games started after they moved homes to Flagstaff, Arizona. During his recollection, one that came to mind was when the 50-year-old got very upset over a gift he got from his then-first wife, Meri, who has also split from him. 

To explain, he said, "Meri gave me this cool birthday present, and I'm in this place expressing to Janelle, Christine, and Robyn that I might reconcile with Meri, and Christine lost her s— that day."

The television personality noted that it did not end there; instead, she came to the family party to cause a scene by telling one of the many kids that she was in a loveless marriage. He then divulged that this happened two years before it all ended. On the other hand, the alleged game player, Christine, seemed to be living quite happily after leaving. 

While Christine gained popularity from living in polygamy, The Blast shared that she was happy to let it all go if it meant finding herself again. In a sit down with PEOPLE, she spoke about how life-changing removing herself from the Mormon life had been for her, saying, "I get to live life for me." 

The entrepreneur added, "my whole world has changed, and every single cell in my body is happier." Before ending her spiritual marriage, she was the third wife and seemingly enjoyed cohabiting with the large family. 

By 2018, the TV star started to think that she might no longer like the concept of polygamy - how she had to share a husband and felt like an unimportant part of the family, which ultimately led to her moving to Salt Lake City in Utah with her youngest daughter, Truly.

The "Intermittent Fasting" author admitted to feeling a mixture of fear and excitement when the thought of beginning a new life became a reality but added that finally being independent brought newfound hope.

She noted that taking control of her destiny positively impacted her and made her realize how empty her life had seemed. The mother-of-six also stated that she was excited and curious to try new things, including dating, but when she spoke to her daughter, the 12-year-old disapproved, preferring to keep their new lives as it was at that moment. 

Despite her disinterest, Christine still has in mind the kind of man she wants - a monogamist - someone who would love and desire her solely. 

The former Mormon believer let it be known that she was ready to mingle without getting too serious, per The Blast. The TLC alum said to Deidre Behar that since she is single, taking things easy and planning daily life is the prerogative and that she has started dating casually. 

The media personality said, "Not romantic because that's way too fast, but dating for sure. I'm dating just for fun. Just keeping everything super light because that's just who I am right now."

However, she plans on getting married again at a later time. Christine noted that qualities she is looking for apart from "kindness" are someone who is attracted to her as well, adding that it would be a great thing.
