The drama in "Sister Wives" continues to heat up as Kody Brown wants nothing to do with his former spouse, Christine Brown!
The division in the Brown family became the focus of the TLC show's Sunday episode, with the patriarch calling out his exes and their children for being an enormous thorn in his side. And guess what? The polygamist's loved ones feel the same way about him!
Kody Brown Accuses Christine Brown Of Turning Their Children Against Him
The latest episode of the "Sister Wives" series captured Kody's displeasure with his exes and their children. Following his kids' rant about their strained relationship, the 54-year-old fired back in his confessional interview, saying:
"All of you are just kind of j--ks. I don't want to be around you, and I'm tired of it. And I don't want to call them. I don't want to talk to them."
The Brown family's patriarch claimed Christine was at fault, accusing his former spouse of "feeding the flames" despite being the reason behind their union. "Christine forced herself into my life. She basically insisted that we be married," Kody revealed.
"I don't care that she's leaving. It hurt initially, but I'm fine. She should stop trash-talking me to my children," the TV personality quipped. The TLC star insisted he held no special feelings for whoever disliked him, adding, "Every s--- talk, every trash talk, every opinion is absolutely reciprocated. I think the same thing of them."
As stated, the drama began after Kody and Christine's older children addressed their strained relationship with the patriarch's only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, and how they believed their father worsened the situation.
Gwendolyn Brown, the former couple's biological daughter, claimed that Robyn and her kids influenced the pain she and her siblings were enduring. "Where's the trauma coming from? Because Dad prefers them," the reality TV star said.
Recalling a disastrous holiday text exchange, Gwendolyn added about Robyn, "She said, 'I'm not talking to you guys anymore.' And then she told Mykelti and Logan to tell us that she wasn't going to talk to us anymore." Christine's daughter was not the only one who had a problem with Kody's last wife.
Garrison Brown and Gabriel Brown, the polygamist's sons with ex-wife Janelle Brown, also highlighted Robyn as the key culprit in their family's problems. "She was gaslighting everyone into treating her with special treatment," Gabriel alleged, with his brother adding, "Using COVID to make Dad exclusive and then turning herself into the victim and saying it's our fault."
Garrison, fed up with the situation, declared: "We don't need Dad anymore." However, Christine cautioned him, stressing that "every kid needs a dad." But the boys disagreed with Gwendolyn noting their mothers gave them all the love they required. The children may want to hold on to their "only mothers are needed" notion, given Kody's fiery confessional.
Christine Brown Opened Up About Her Experience In A Polygamous Relationship
Before Christine and her children were labeled as "j--ks" by Kody, The Blast reported that the TLC star got candid about her marriage to the 54-year-old polygamist. The TV personality served as the patriarch's third wife before severing their ties in November 2021, becoming the first to leave the plural marriage.
During a "Sister Wives" episode, Christine sat down with Kody's former wife, Janelle, to discuss how her feelings about polygamy had changed. The mother of six admitted that she considered the multi-person union a terrible idea. In her words:
"I think if people wanna live [plural marriage], fine. But I just, to be honest with you, I don't see it as a great family structure, and I really have a hard time with it, but I think once a guy finds the love of his life, the other women are sc---."
Speaking from her experience, Christine confessed to feeling frustrated and "jaded" by her union with Kody. According to the 51-year-old, it was an emotionally challenging phase. "I'm doing my best while not having a good day, believe me, but it still was a failure," the reality TV star admitted.
The entertainer revealed the polygamous union no longer worked for her when Kody became distant from her children and stopped being a proper father. Additionally, she wished the patriarch had openly communicated with his then-lovers about his connection with Robyn before their relationship ended in a divorce.
