Just finished part 1. This was presented really well. Will watch part 2 tomorrow. She shares so much great info for those of us on the outside, trying to understand this world. Very sad and interesting all at the same time
@@ambreaull7218 I did not grow up in the polygamy world or faith. But main stream Mormon and I have left. While I understand it can be very different, the deconstruction is very real still for me. I am still married to my husband who is still a believer of the Mormon church, so it’s hard because I am deconstructing alone in some ways. But I still have a husband. I am one of the fewer who is in a mixed faith marriage. However I can still see him wanting to play the priesthood leader card to me occasionally. And I just politely walk away for a little. We both have boundaries. And we are trying to make a balance. But it sounds like Kristyn is amazing and helpful and I can understand how important that is. I have a friend who is my sounding board and I am so grateful for that. Also there is a community that is gone when you leave a faith like this. And Kristyn would be amazing to have as friend on the outside. I think that has to be a very hard part, but it’s great to have people help as you start over in many ways. ❤
The recent events on this "reality" show, showed Kody Brown's true, oppressive nature: all the show did was reveal that this 'average polygamist family' was just as abusive towards three of the wives as polygamists have been historically been known for. If this show was to help the public change their attitude about Polygamy, it has only reinforced the negative stigma associated with this lifestyle.
Now I’m realizing why Christine not arguing with Kody or Robin. She did not want TLC mixing up her words during the group chat outside. Shame on you TLC
Also, Christine didn't argue with them because she was just DONE! I can attest to the fact that when I divorced, I just got to where I didn't care at all any more, and some things were just not worth my time trying to prove a point.
Ugh, this makes me sick. If this is true, Kristyn, Christine and Janelle need to start their own show about how they escaped a dysfunctional organization and make it independent from a major TV network. I would absolutely watch that.
Not everyone gets to chose how many children they have tho. Not everyone get to choose the circumstances that happened to them after they have children.
The producers sound awful. TLC is one of the most disgusting companies. It’s one thing if adults want to go on and expose themselves but when children are included in these reality shows, it’s criminal.
It is really sad and disgusting for the TLC would let this reality show go on thru all of kodys mental breakdowns rants and rage and Robyn lying. I’m really displeased with TLC and the Wants of ratings.
It’s amazing original reason TLC came to be a channel is they were actually called the Learning channel. when it start it was more like public television programming/and documentaries. it was really good. I was quite young and I used to watch some of the shows. but the rating was not that good.They were not making money so that’s why they become this way I think.
After I got out of the FLDS it struck me like a lightning bolt that we, as women, betrayed ourselves, each other, our daughters and nieces and all women by putting on our "keep sweet" smiles and lying about how "happy" we were.
I enjoyed listening to this interview! She seems like such a sweet , kind and strong lady. I can see why the TLC producers didn’t let her have ample air time. Keep doing more interviews like this one! Praying Christine herself may grant you an interview as well ! That would be amazing.
Great video, Katie! Krysten is correct the producers set the storyline, edit for drama and ratings. However, as a cast member it is your choice to condone or condemn. I do believe this is one reason Christine, Janelle and Meri do not always speak up. Robyn is more than happy to critique her sister wives yet pretends she wants a relationship. She has used them for her personal agenda.
Right. I'm sure it must seem at times like the producers are trying to control the narrative just like Kody does. I don't blame the women for not speaking up all the time. They do have a choice, but as time goes on, making that choice must get harder because of all the outside pressure.
@@somerking7040 all three of them,, Christine's Aunt, Christine and Janell should sue TLC for pitting everyone against each other and them Sobin Robyn and kooty. End of
"I'm going to speak my truth". I love that. Kody is always wanting someone to take sides when it's not as simple as that. Everyone should speak their truth!
Well if you notice in kody , Robin only ones that have a side. The rest of the women suppose to sit back with no opinion just keep giving kody ,robin everything
Your interviewing style was great. You asked then let her answer and you had great follow up I was pleasantly surprised how much detail and back knowledge of the hierarchy you have. MUCH more than most who report on this topic. VERY WELL DONE.
I think it’s very interesting that Ms. Decker testifies that the producers encouraged her react a certain way. Meri is clearly not giving in this season. Meri’s internal monologue: “go ahead, I dare you, make me say something, anything.” 😂
Meri never says anything about anything anyway! Kody doesn't want Meri as a wife and has told her as much, yet she refuses to leave. She the seems to think that by staying, it will pave her way into Heaven, which it won't! Meri also seems to think that if she sticks around long enough and befriends Robyn, that. Kody will suddenly want her back, which also won't ever happen! Meri has no other life, doesn't know any better because she was raised in a polygamist lifestyle and thinks all of this is normal. If Meri wants to continue supporting Kody and Robyn and their lives, then that's her choice, as sad as it is. I'm so glad Christine got out and is now happier than she ever was! I sincerely hope Janelle will be the next to leave and quit supporting Kody and Robyn.
Wow!!! Very informative. I hope in the future that Christine and her Aunt could reconcile or talk at some point. I think she could fill in some of the holes for Christine about polygamy, family, everything. Even if they choose to remain distant, I believe that it’s imperative for them to at least have a conversation. Christine is a different person today, I’m hoping she’d give it a chance if she hasn’t already figured it out through other family members.
Whole facts 💯! I'm a married woman of 26 years w/7 sons, so polygamy wasn't for me, but I do believe it can be done successfully. Isn't it ironic how prior to Robyn joining the family Kody's time was successfully distributed by the 3 women 🤔??? I don't believe how a man w/4 wives, 18 kids & everybody living in separate houses could be successful. Heck, I still question if I gave my husband & my children equal time/attention & my honest opinion is no. Usually the kids that didnt need me as much, got the least amount of time. I'm so glad Christine & Janelle have moved on with out kody😁!!!
If you think about how everyone has a different personality, different needs and different experiences, it's almost impossible to treat everyone equally. Kody's narcissistic nature made him think he could do it, and he failed miserably in the end. I feel so sorry for the kids.
@@newenglandlight8724 I agree with u on all of that, but there's no way Kody has decades under his belt with 3 wives & for all sakes & purposes nobody was complaining but Christine once Robyn entered the picture. Interesting....🤔
Years and years ago, my brother had a friend who was on a reality show. He never believes anything on a reality show. He said the producers wanted him to say and do things when speaking to and visiting his friend that he was very uncomfortable with. He refused a couple of times, and they were really peeved with him.
An acquaintance of mine was also in a reality show and she's a total sweetheart. The show made her out to be something that she was clearly not. I ran into her at a gathering and I casually asked her, she confirmed that all the drama is pushed by the producers. They pushed her to do and say things to the other cast for the sake of ratings and its just toxic.
I interviewed a group featured on a reality show and they said everything was made up, plots, enmity, characters, motivations, everything except the setting.
👏Love this! She's clearly a beautiful soul inside and out.I really hope Christine reaches out to her.Maybe some time in the real world will open her eyes to how abusive and messed up polygamy is.I hope she realizes that Kristyn truly wants only the best for her!

The only way the ladies could start their own show is to start a podcast on TH-cam. Going with a network will twist their words further. Thank you for this Katie
Kristyn seems so genuine and lovely. Loved how she explained so much that I never understood. And girl, you are talented at this. You are so professional and damn good at interviewing. Feel like you could go beyond just youtube if you wanted. Love it!
What a beautiful sweet woman, I remember that episode when she was on the panel with them & thought how stupid it was Christine acting scared of her 😂 I really hope Christine reaches out to this beautiful supportive FAMILY member of hers
What episode was she on? I think I may have missed it because I do not recall seeing her. I started watching from the beginning às I know I did miss episodes threw the seasons.
No, as previously said, they are still filming. The great thing is Kody has no "wife money" coming in anymore 😂 Meri and Janelle supported the family. Kody might have to meet his fear of poverty once again
Kristyn is honestly the sweetest woman. She has this nature of just being like a second mom to everyone. She's everyone's mom, friend, cheerleader and advocate for happiness
30:09 I could listen to her talk for so long. She gives such good information in a way that is loving but true full and easy to understand about how it all really works and the lifestyle etc. Really appreciate her being willing to speak out.
TLC tried getting me on a show called "my monster mother inlaw" or something to that affect... but I told them a big hell no. Why would I want to embarrass myself and my family by putting my nutcase mother inlaw on TV, to trash me on national tv? And all for a measly $10,000. I have too much self-respect.
@@lauriem2822 I commented on one of their posts on fb, that the video clip they posted of one of the new episodes had nothing on my crazy mother inlaw. Then the producer reached out to me.
Yes. The former wives could: -watch footage with us and talk about it, -interview their children and recount their children's memories. -show how they are moving on from their dysfunctional marriages (perhaps in their counseling sessions) -Show how they have moved on in socially. -televise their inevitable monogamous relationships and marriages. - show KB and R's downfall
Katie I am pretty new to your channel but am so happy it popped up on my TH-cam one day. Thank you for all the work you put in to keep us all informed. Listening to a insider is so interesting. I hope Christine and her aunt can get back together now . Thanks again for all you do from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
I third this. I like the interviews and emails with Kristen. It puts it in a lot better perspective and it's nice to have Kristen's "real time current" opinion
Kristyn is so brave to share such a difficult and personal history. Her statements are so real and insightful. Hoping that someone else embroiled in a disfunctional doctrine hears this and begins to question whether or not their belief system is actually a godly doctrine or just a means of control
Wow, wow, wow, I had no idea this history of Christine, I have watched every episode since day one, I must not have been paying close attention to the details!! Great questions, great interview, great show, great channel...
This was very, very interesting. I figured the show has manufactured many scenarios over the years, because one family is just not that interesting all the time. It is pathetic, though, that they made it look like Kristyn was up to something evil while just waiting to go into the bathroom!! She seems like a very level-headed and nice woman.
Wow Katie joy you r a fantastic interviewer. You make this channel so interesting and I love it more and more……… this lady looks a lot like Christine. You can see they r related. Love the interview.
What a great job Kody did! He took Allred’s granddaughter that believed in polygamy and turned her to monogamy ! Meanwhile everyone watching tv knows what a holes polygamist men are. 👏
Thanks for this and thanks to Kristyn 💕. I’m still perplexed that there seems to be the expectation for romantic love on the part of these multiple wives. When you add in a gazillion children, the idea that one man is going to have that kind of emotional availability seems far-fetched (even if he wasn’t a total narcissist).
Kristen is an amazing person. She has helped soooooo many. Ive had the privilege of associating with her several times. I really admire her for so many reasons.
Katie, thank you for this interview. Eager to hear the rest. I'm so impressed with your knowledge of these "religions" and I'm using that religion term loosely.
I remember one of the early Sister Wives episodes where the group was talking about polygamy at a college and this aunt attended. She'd come out of polygamy herself and expressed her concern for Christine.
What an informative interview this it. She is very interesting and seems like such a nice lady. Katy, your questions were very insightful and you show great respect. Thank you. I'll be looking forward to the next one.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This interview was so insightful and fascinating. It made me as a viewer of the show really take a step back and checked me! I obviously know it is a "show" but I found myself so sucked in and believing EVERYTHING as it's shown. I am still 100% fed up with Robyn. You can only edit so much. The facade is crumbling for sure. Thanks for the wonderful interview with Kristen. Such a kind person. ❤
Thank you Kristyn for coming on and sharing!! You are amazing! If I ever run into you around Utah I hope it’s ok if I come up and say hello and thank you in person! If not I totally understand and respect your boundaries. But I really do want to say thank you! ❤

Yes, that explains a lot. There were so many times I thought, why are they not speaking up? Now I get it.
Time to cancel the show Sister Wives. Start new show with Christine and Janelle
I think Janelle has been doing the same sort of thing. Letting Kody dig his own hole.
Also, Christine didn't argue with them because she was just DONE! I can attest to the fact that when I divorced, I just got to where I didn't care at all any more, and some things were just not worth my time trying to prove a point.

The Robyn and Kody show. Robyn crying and Kody yelling.
My father always told me that no one should have more children than they can take care of properly.
Two children are hard

The damage done to these women and children are so terribly sad.
The children especially, they didn’t ask for this. But sadly without the show, they could have easily led a life of polygamy or hardship.
I agree!
Cody....... The victim. What a hot hoot!!!!! LMAO
I pray kody’s curiosity makes him watch your channel. The thought of him and Robyn reading thru the comments makes my heart warm❤️

Kody expects the wives to be loyal to him above their children. Good luck with that, Kody. Not happening.
It's all about Kody EGO
The narcissistic person sees any failure as a coincidence, and if coincidence doesn't fit, they blame someone else. It's never their fault.

You are a skilled interviewer and I enjoyed this first segment immensely. Thank you.
Fabulous interview! Thank you!
Katie I am pretty new to your channel but am so happy it popped up on my TH-cam one day. Thank you for all the work you put in to keep us all informed. Listening to a insider is so interesting. I hope Christine and her aunt can get back together now . Thanks again for all you do from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for your work on this! I look forward to your videos everyday! ❤
Me too
Same 😁
I third this. I like the interviews and emails with Kristen. It puts it in a lot better perspective and it's nice to have Kristen's "real time current" opinion
You are so welcome!
Days of our Lives and Katie!!
Kristyn is so brave to share such a difficult and personal history. Her statements are so real and insightful. Hoping that someone
else embroiled in a disfunctional doctrine hears this and begins to question whether or not their belief system is actually a godly doctrine or just a means of control
What a voice of reason. This is very nice. Thanks Katy
Thanks for listening
Thanks to both of you ladies for taking the time to share this with us. Startling part two now.
I love Kristyn Decker! I remember being disappointed in Christine during the TLC segment when they had the ex-FLDS members vs Sister Wives.
Great interview Katie. Well done ladies.🥰🥰
Really interesting interview! Thank you Katie and Kristyn!
I've been loving the happy smile on your face since janelle left kody
Wow, wow, wow, I had no idea this history of Christine, I have watched every episode since day one, I must not have been paying close attention to the details!! Great questions, great interview, great show, great channel...
This was very, very interesting. I figured the show has manufactured many scenarios over the years, because one family is just not that interesting all the time. It is pathetic, though, that they made it look like Kristyn was up to something evil while just waiting to go into the bathroom!! She seems like a very level-headed and nice woman.
Wow Katie joy you r a fantastic interviewer. You make this channel so interesting and I love it more and more……… this lady looks a lot like Christine. You can see they r related. Love the interview.
What a great job Kody did! He took Allred’s granddaughter that believed in polygamy and turned her to monogamy ! Meanwhile everyone watching tv knows what a holes polygamist men are. 👏
Yes it is impressive. Christine was some kind of advertiser on plural marriage and how wonderful it is lol
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@peggycampbell905 what's a holes polygamist men?
Bridget, put SS after the A and before the holes.
Great interview! She’s such a good communicator, I have really enjoyed her input!
Thanks for this and thanks to Kristyn 💕. I’m still perplexed that there seems to be the expectation for romantic love on the part of these multiple wives. When you add in a gazillion children, the idea that one man is going to have that kind of emotional availability seems far-fetched (even if he wasn’t a total narcissist).
Kristen is an amazing person. She has helped soooooo many. Ive had the privilege of associating with her several times. I really admire her for so many reasons.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK.
Thanks for listening
Thank u for explaining the episode because I have always felt uneasy about how that went down
This is very informative & what a lovely well spoken woman... thank you both for filling in alot of blanks 👍💜🌹🙂
Great interview good job Katie!
The producer treated her like they treated Amy Dugger. Made footage to meet their story, not true story.
Katie, thank you for this interview. Eager to hear the rest. I'm so impressed with your knowledge of these "religions" and I'm using that religion term loosely.
This was fantastic! Thank you for interviewing Kristen. I could listen to her talk about the details for days!
I have lived in Utah all my life, and remember hearing all about these people back in the 70s,80s and 90s. No, I am longer in that church.
Kristyn is the sweetest lady. She was so wonderful getting me her book. Just a delightful person
I remember one of the early Sister Wives episodes where the group was talking about polygamy at a college and this aunt attended. She'd come out of polygamy herself and expressed her concern for Christine.
Thank you for doing these interviews with her, very interesting.
Great interview!! She is such a good woman. Can’t wait for the other parts! An early Christmas gift for sure!!!
Totally riveting and highly interesting! Good job, Kati! I had no clue about the intracies of this "religion."
Katie, thanks so much for the coverage of this story. Kristen is such a general soul; she's lovely. Can't wait for the next video.
So enlightening. Thank you for this guest.
What a great interview! I enjoyed listening to it! I learned a lot!
Oh, my beautiful friend! I just mentioned you in a comment. This woman is awesome!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing! 💜
What an informative interview this it. She is very interesting and seems like such a nice lady. Katy, your questions were very insightful and you show great respect. Thank you. I'll be looking forward to the next one.
Kristin seems like such a beautiful human being. Loved this first episode. On to the next one.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This interview was so insightful and fascinating. It made me as a viewer of the show really take a step back and checked me! I obviously know it is a "show" but I found myself so sucked in and believing EVERYTHING as it's shown. I am still 100% fed up with Robyn. You can only edit so much. The facade is crumbling for sure. Thanks for the wonderful interview with Kristen. Such a kind person. ❤
I never comment on videos, and I usually get bored and can’t finish these videos… but this was excellent and very enlightening! Great job!
@34:38 the way Kristen said “I would love love love “ … she sounds just like Christine …. ❤
This was a great interview, thanks❤️. Katie, you look so beautiful🤩💖!
Fantastic interview. Can't wait for the next one.
Well done Katie and Kristyn, this was an excellent interview. Very insightful.
I really appreciate this interview you did Katie. It was probably one of the best ones you’ve ever done. Thanks!
I’m so happy we have a longer video 🥹❤ thanks Katie!
Thank you Kristyn for coming on and sharing!! You are amazing! If I ever run into you around Utah I hope it’s ok if I come up and say hello and thank you in person! If not I totally understand and respect your boundaries. But I really do want to say thank you! ❤
Thank you Katie for all the work you put into bringing awareness to the injustices that go on in these polygamist/ fundamentalist families.
