For a few seasons, Sister Wives fans could tell that Christine Brown was extremely unhappy, so it was a surprise to hear that no other Brown family member noticed her emotional state. Christine left her marriage with Kody Brown in November 2021, citing irreconcilable differences. Now, the Browns are trying their best to navigate their way through their own denial.
Christine and Kody had their fair share of ups and downs for the better part of their 25-year marriage. Sister Wives viewers watched Christine battle jealousy during multiple seasons, as Kody brought home and courted a much younger wife. Robyn Brown upended the entire family dynamic, leaving Christine and the others feeling extremely vulnerable. Now, with Christine out of the picture, the rest of the Browns are trying to save face. In fact, they're denying ever knowing Christine was upset.
During the Tell All event, Brown family members Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Kody, and Robyn all revealed that they were taken aback that Sister Wives' Christine was upset with polygamous life. Kody's first wife Meri played up her surprise to cameras, and people who were watching the show were a bit stunned, especially since Meri's own marriage to Kody is less than perfect. The two women could have bonded over the fact that both were denied intimacy by Kody, but instead, Meri chose to side with the rest of the Browns.
As for Janelle, fans of Sister Wives felt that she tried to gaslight Christine, whom she is believed to be very close to. During the Tell All, Janelle shared that she felt Christine was trying to "rewrite her history." Surprisingly, Janelle also seemed to try to blame Christine for the downfall of her union with Kody, claiming Christine never wanted to fix her issues with Kody and brought the breakup on herself. Naturally, Robyn cried through the entire reunion, acting as if she really cared about Sister Wives' Christine leaving. As most fans know, Robyn has reaped the benefits of essentially being the only wife Kody seems to care about.
Sister Wives viewers were not buying the remaining Browns' acts. It was clear as day that Christine was less than thrilled with her situation. Now that the mother of six is back in Utah, supporters are hoping that she finds a new relationship that brings her joy. While Christine is creating a new life for herself, the rest of the Brown family members are figuring out how to keep their stories straight so they don't seem so confused.
