Christine was honest from the beginning. Kody just didn’t care about her feelings.
💯
totally agree with you, Hannah!
@@SeniorPerspective-123 when you rewatch the show Christine was telling us everything wasn't fair from the start and kody was spending most of his time Liebrows.The family was covering up alot for kody and financial gain with the cloak of charity for along time.
I feel like they preyed on her emotional pregnancy state throughout the entire beginning of the relationship with Rob’em. This whole situation had Christine on antidepressants following Truely’s birth. Clearly, Christine was far from ok about this particular 4th wife.
@@CZMuzic2714 FACTS!
My question is - why were they doing all this while Christine was pregnant? They couldn't start wife shopping when none of the wives were pregnant and emotional ?
👍👍👍👍👍
So true! disgusting
OMFG SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT CHRISTINES DAMN PREGNANCY. SHE DID THE SAME THING TO JANELLE WHEN JANELLE WAS PREGNANT BUT NO ONE BRINGS THAT CRAP UP.
I think the last really happy time for Christine in the family was the day before Robyn came on the scene.
Yup. I agree.
Bc Robyn would say one thing and her actions never match. Even Janelle saw it and Jen, Meri’s friend saw it.
So true, Lane!
Oh yes. Robyn is Mrs. LipService. State one thing and do the exact opposite. I don't think her plan was to destroy the family, but she got too fond of her special position as the legal and headwife. Christine and Janelle trusted Meri. Janelle had a bad gut feeling from the beginning when it comes to finances. She was so right...
Oh, and the picnic table discussions about the sacred covenant. That totally revealed that Robbing knew the other wives weren't happy. Very early on, before their spiritual marriage. Kody exposed that. Ooops. Too bad, blabbermouth.
😁😁
THEY ALL SAID THINGS AND LIED
In All fairness All the wives never Truly said what was on their mind.
It’s just that Robyn is a evil manipulator
Robyn would have never considered Kody without the TLC money. Remember Christine never got a say in Robyn joining thevfamily.....that was a Kody & Meri secret.
Yup. Christine was pretty clear from the get-go that she wasn’t interested in another wife…and that the way Robyn was brought in was completely underhanded.
And Janelle is pretending she was in the loop to hide Kody'sbad behavior. Both Christine and Janelle were in the dark.
AND. In one episode, Kody said that Robin wasn’t interested in him when he first met her. Then TLC happened. Just sayin…..
It was said it was this is what’s going to happen and it’s going to happen wether you like it or not ! No one had a choice !!!! I don’t think so anyway just my opinion!
From day one that Robyn and Kody met Robyn played the game to get Kody. Meri may have thought she was in the loop, but Robyn played Meri. She needed Meri to infiltrate the family. Robyn seems to me to be a con artist. She didn’t want the man, so much as, she wanted the security of being taken care and her kids being taken care of. She had a plan and she has executed the plan perfectly! Robyn would never have entered this family without the show, because she knew with the show there would be money. It is the only money she has brought into the family. Pretty sure she never shared her portion with the others. All she did is take, they paid off her huge debt, she took the full profit from M and half of J’s profit from their Vegas homes. She wants more than half of CP land for herself. I can’t stand Robyn. She is greedy!
Robyn's ex is Christine's cousin so sje knew a out Robyn's BS in that marriage. She didn't trust her.
Kodys cousin , not christines
Definitely Christine’s cousin and she knew what Sobbin did to him
@@sandragill9916 Christine's cousin.
Is this actually verified?
Oop just saw a family tree (not sure who did it) that shows Christine’s father is the brother of David Jessop’s mother, Diane Allred. So yeah, cousins.
Between Janelle being Kodys stepsister, and Meri being Janelle’s former sister in law…that’s a real family bush! So Robyn’s kids are actually Christine’s cousins once removed??
I think Janelle later regretted agreeing to Robyn. As a hard worker I believe Janelle thought Robyn would contribute to the family, but she just took.
I agree with that, Georgee!
Remember Kody and Janelle talking on the couch regarding him marrying liebrows? And Janelle was saying I’m scared you’re gonna ride off in the sunset with her. Robyn. And he assures her that will never happen. He loves Janelle so much. He won’t let that happen. He’s says I promise. 😢😢
@@berniking8805 Yes! He meant to say "I promise, I absolutely will do that".
I thought it was so awkward that Robbing and Ramen Head got themselves those ugly (but expensive) HORSE rings! Really riding into the sunset with ugly horse rings in his convertible. 🎠🌇
get a grip...they all contributed to the family. If anyone got used, they stole $2 million from Meri. NONE OF THE WORKED THE FIRST 4-5 YEARS IN VEGAS.
@@mariemazzo896 How did that happen? Would be interesting to know.
I blame Kody not Janelle or Meri. Janelle and Meri knew they really didn't have a say and that Kody was calling the shots. I dont even believe Meri brought Robyn in. They made her believe that like they conned her into the legal divorce. Kody was essentially having an affair with Robyn and the other wives just hoped for the best.
You know, that's a very good point.
I agree Meri had to be the one to take the fall for Kody finding Robyn and then he brought Meri along to make sure she supported what Kody wanted
@@maureenmiller-delisle2505 Exactly! What ever went down behind the scenes: according to their church rules, the 1st wife has to bee the one bringing in further wives. The family had to portray it this way, whatever the truth may be.
Christine never wanted Robyn in the family. She made her feelings clear from the very beginning. Like you, that is why I liked Christine.
We think the same, Cheryl!
Them saying that Christine had a "vote" as to if Robyn could join the family, is equivalent to my employer asking me for my "honest" opinion on if I enjoy my job. 🤨If you want to keep a roof over your head and food in your stomach, you know that the only answer to that question is, "Absolutely!!"
Rachel, what a PERFECT analogy!
Christine was right all along!! Can you imagine a major life change you have no say in or don’t approve. 32 yrs married and we mutual agree on major decisions . It’s a respect.
So true. She was in a bad situation.
Christine was forced and manipulated to say “yes”, if she ever actually said “yes”. How can Mykelti not see that?
i agree with you.
I just hope that as she continues to watch from the beginning, more and more, her eyes will be opened...WIDE!!
It’s a shame Christine couldn’t have stopped Robin from coming in.
Right? What a very different story this would be.
Is it though? Then the 3 OG wives would still be stuck with Kody. It seems they have all moved on to better things.
It’s a shame Christine didn’t leave his sorry behind back then!
Idk. Besides if Kody really didn't love the OG3 anyway would stopping Robyn really have helped anything? The family probably would have blew eventually
Christine is cousins with Robyn's ex-husband. I'm sure she knew stuff but couldn't do or say anything. Makes sense that Robyn hates Christine, because Christine knew what the scoop was.
I love that Christine had that over her!
Christine saw right through Robyn from day 1, thats why she said "I wanted the Family not just the man" that was said out loud only for Robyn to get a clue! Christine knew from the day Robyn had a nanny Robyn was never interested in any other Sister Wife plain and simple!!!
It's Sister Wives and Sidepiece.
@@SeniorPerspective-123a true and accurate name for this mess. Good one.
I was listening to James from My Take on Reality and he mentioned that there was an overlap between the end of Robyn’s marriage and when she and Kody 1st got together…which I completely missed when I first started watching the series. I also truly believe that Christine really didn’t have a say in whether or not Robyn came in - I think that her feelings towards it were fluffed off as pregnancy hormones. 😕
Kim, yes, the show aired the same year the divorce was final.
He’s still blaming Christine for the one who got away 30 years ago! Yeah Christine knew she would pay for being the one who says no
Kodys “need” to get his pencil wet destroyed the family. It is good Meeeeekelti is seeing it now. So sad.
agree. Better late than never.
Love the spelling of Meeeeekelti, can I borrow it, please? I can never remember the correct spelling, but this one makes sense. She is all about the MEEEEE!
Good morning Jenny, Christine knew Liebrows was full of it from the start because of the way she treated her cousin David. Christine's family knew Liebrows was a terrible person.
Yep been obvious all along
@@merryt Exactly!
Wait !!.... Christine and Liebrows ex are cousins???!!!
"Liebrows" 😂😅
@@MISSUNIVERSE1830 Yes. First cousins
Christine wasn't able to see Kody enough already. I don't blame her for not wanting him to bring in another.
I agree, Sharon!
POOR POOR POOR CHRISTINE. ALWAYS WHINING
Robyn lied about everything right from the start , she even said she was getting a job and then awhile later kody said she was going to help Christine with the kids , did that for a bit and then isolated herself as much as she could , even on camping trips she would stay at a hotel while everyone else was roughing it !!!!!
Wait, woah! She did? Dang! I need to find time to do a season rewatch!
THEY ALL LIED. AND WHAT DID CHRSTINE NEED HELP WITH. SHE HAD HER OWN NANNY FOR A SHORT TIME. AFTER ALL, THE KIDS WERE IN SCHOOL WHERE THEY BELONGED AND ONLY TRULEY WAS HOME.
I think this is why Meri and Kody kept Robyn away from letting Christine know she was being considered as a wife because they knew she didn’t want it. They left it until Robyn and Kody were together until they told her
good point. I can see that.
Meri didn't want Robyn either. And, Christine knew more about Robyn than anyone.
If anyone thinks no one in Christine's family didn't call and tell Christine...well ...
Adding a fourth wife might’ve been easier if it wasn’t 15-16 years AFTER the third. Everyone else is added in a span of about 2-3ish years after previous marriage. 15 years (with a new wife that’s 10 years younger than everyone, divorced with three kids and MASSIVELY in debt) is difficult….
I completely agree.
The fact that Kody needed to be with Robyn because she was a new wife proves the kids were second class. Truely was new to the family too where was the time spent with her. I wonder if Robyn's "value" was ever found in the family.
Yes, Gwen. Robyn AND Robyn's kids were favored over Truely. :(
I guess only Kody got to value her "pencil humidor". At least back then. Don't know about today. Kody is getting older and Robyn too. Things change with age. 😁During early episodes, we see kids spend time at Robyn's. I think she did help with the kids in the beginning. Until Christine was back after Truely's birth, taking care of most of the kids. And Robbing got her nanny.
Robyn did get pregnant soon after. Truely and Solomon are only year apart
Tony sure has had a crap ton of opinions on what was never said or done on a show he’s never watched!
I cannot with him! Mykelti has an ok wife in Tony.
"They gave her a say, Tish"....yeah, as long as the say was "Yes master. I hear and I obey." Other than that, it was "talk to the hand, cause the face ain't listening." Christine knew Robyn was coming into the family come hell or high water, regardless of how she felt about it. And Christine knew if anyone would be put out in the cold with "hat in hand" (as Kody loves to say), it wasn't going to be Robyn and her kids. It would be Christine and her kids.
agree, agree and agree!
I liked Christine from the beginning because she was real. I’m so glad she is so happy now.
I completely agree, Katrina!
Back then, I didn't pay that much attention to the OG3 doubts they were having. I thought, okay, they are being pretty truthful. I'd be cautious and jealous too.
She was the one who sacrificed and wasted years on Kody. Not the other way around, how ever loud Kody will yell, trying to convince anybody that being true. This applies to Meri and Janelle as well. I think the show and the income made them stay longer than they should have.
OG3 have become financially more independent. Meri got financially independent through Lularoe + her BNB, Christine through Plexus + Lularoe. Janelle has a coaching business + is doing Plexus too. Additionally: they now apparently have their own LLCs for their TV + social media income.
The reason Mykelti is re-watching the episodes is to make money. Period.
I get tired of the shade thrown at Christine by those two. No one is perfect, but she's so disrespectful to her mom at times. It's obvious she's trying to "defend" K & R.
And ?
@@sandragill9916 And Mykelti came up with some bogus excuse for rewatching the early episodes when she didn’t need to give a reason at all. People that go out of their way to lie just for fun really bug me. What’s it to you?
@@mafiapr1ncess Christine and Mykelti never got a long. She also never took care of her kids.
I hope she makes some. If grownups make money off of you when you are a kid; hopefully you can make your own money off of you when you are an adult.
Do you really think Janelle wanted Robyn in the family? She got in there and Janelle didn't even talk to her 😂. Remember the divorce episode and Janelle said nothing and told the producer she wasn't going to speak on it?
No, I don’t. I think Janelle was trying to appear supportive to Kody’s wishes, regardless of her own feelings.
And when Robyn got pregnant, Janelle did not congratulate her or even smile. She ignored Robyn for that whole evening.
I agree with you, Cheryl @@cherylmcnutt9905
I think Janelle was very invested in the idea of "polygamy works." She forced herself to "want another wife,"' and to be Ok with Robyn because otherwise she may have to consider the idea that polygamy is not great. She is now having to face that reality anyway.
Very true, Katie. She was determined to make polygamy work. Until it simply could no longer.@@katieg.9235
I’d say Christine was a smart woman and is
Yes, for sure she is
It was never mentioned on the show that she had finished college. Back in 2010, I probably thought that Christine just a stay home and homeschooling mom. Somebody who was just smart enough to teach first-graders...
I think all "original wives" are smart. They don't hide behind a facade, fake crying and telling "I didn't know" or "I'm confused".
First of all, Im pregnant, and this fool was in love with another woman. I call BS.
To be fair, when Christine came into the family, Janelle was 6 months pregnant.
Thanks for another great video Jenny! Christine used to say that she always wanted to be a 3rd wife and that she actually believed that she would be the last wife. Instead, Kody brings in Robyn, 3 more kids (I think they had a nanny) and an incredible amount of debt. Kody picked a real winner when he chose Robyn.
Ain't that the truth!?!
It's very telling that Mykelti refers to her father as "Kody". I have never referred to my father by his given name.
Interesting. I never noticed, but I'm gonna be paying attention now!
Mykelti does not like Meri, and she’s entitled to that, but I wish she would just shut up about her.
We have all done things that weren’t right but you have to move on and it’s hard when people pick you apart and throw it in your face still 15+ years later
Isn’t that what all these rewatches are about? Taking a look at their past? Do you think she shouldn’t be honest with her experiences? They all have negative behavior/things in their past, not just Meri. I think if they’re exploring the past, they should be honest.
@@critiquerwhittaker her view is so jaded. She watches all this stuff, but blames everybody but Robyn and Kody.
Yeah, like Meme-kelti is perfect with her lazy husband. She should look at herself before constantly moaning about Meri
Meeeeekelti makes money off meddling and Meri…she could get over it, but she loves the attention and has a limited ability to forgive and forget, which she gets from Kruddy. I think she and Tony are two of a kind and are just sucking up the money as long as they can, as getting a real job seems to repel them.
Why do I get the feeling that Tony is trying to spin the “Christine was jealous” narrative? 🤔🙄
Hmmm. Maybe. I think he's pushing forward more the "she never wanted this" narrative. But interesting take.
The boy doesn’t contribute to his family financially. I’d bet my elbow Rob’em sends Tony money “ to help out” and to make sure Tony will always defend her. Let’s not forget Tony proposed to a virtual stranger after dating about 6 minutes. Trust and believe he knew everything about that family. I am also completely convinced Mykelti said yes just to try to upstage Maddie and Caleb.
Robyn was such a cow for demanding so much of Kodys time when Truly was born...could you imagine her not having him while her tenders were tender...she would never put up w that.
I don't even think it was necessarily Robyn in terms of Christine not wanting another wife. I think it would have been anyone coming into the family.
I agree with that!
I sort of agree, though the fact that it was Robyn and how she treated Christine's cousin (Robyn's first spouse) really piled crap on top of garbage.
Christine said several times that, She wanted to be the third and Special wife.
She said when Robyn was joining the family, she didn't' feel Special anymore.
@@janinelloyd7500 I think both "theories" are valid. Christine wanted to be the third and last wife. She didn't want further wives and certainly Christine knew that Robyn was bad news. Meri and Kody ganged up, surprising Janelle and Christine.
Mykelti is the female version of Kody. Her look at me attitude and always running her mouth. Can’t stand either
Agree with you.
I can't figure her out... Sometimes I have sympathy for her, at other times I think she's just an attention seeker at the cost of other people. To me, it seems that neither Tony, nor Mykelti are the brighest candles on the cake. (Gosh, I hope I'm totally wrong...)🎂
Hi my friend! 😊💖 NO Christine didn’t want Robyn from the jump and she made no bones about it. I THINK she may have still had a hard time with a 4th wife, but part of it was bc it WAS Robyn. She is cousins with Preston, Robyn’s ex. She knew how Robyn was and how much discord she would bring to the family. TLC spun that story to make it seem like Robyn was just some new person that was friends with Meri and Meri encouraged her and Kody’s relationship. No no no. Not how it went. We already know he wanted to marry Robyn and was told no bc of his poor financial situation 🤷♀️ Christine could only say so much I’m sure bc of the contracts with TLC but she knew what a snake Robyn was right from the start and didn’t want her bc she knew what would happen. Truth be told Meri only wanted her to try to gain favor with Kody, and Janelle just goes along to get along bc I know they both had reservations too.
Christine says she “had a say about Robyn” but she didn’t. She could see it was gonna happen anyway. She just threw her hands up. Also, at the time she was very pregnant and had 5 other kids to take care of and other things to focus on. Makes me mad at Kody for doing that to her 🤬 And yup Christine could see the writing on the wall once Kody decided to take up with Robyn. She knew that their marriage was changed and probably knew it was just a matter of time. I think she was trying to wait til the kids were grown and out on their own mostly. But then Kody not going to Ysabel’s surgery just was the straw that broke the camels back. It is sad. The whole thing. I also hope this gives Mykelti a whole new perspective. Especially about Robyn and Kody and how they used her and everyone else. Have a great week! Hugs! 💖🌸
So well said, Aleigha. As always, I agree with every word you write!
A longer text - but all so true!
It was exposed that he asked permission from the church to marry Robyn before and was denied. Due to he could not afford another wife. After they was put on the show it was finally approved.
Can you imagine them trying to add another wife WITHOUT the show income??? What an utter disaster.
Wow.
I don't believe tony didn't watch the show i think Tony was hoping for polygamy and more ice cream flavours to try.
LOL. Ew. Bad memories of that episode!
@@SeniorPerspective-123 I never believed he'd been with a lot of girls, I'm sure every woman both sides of the pond went eww no thanks.
yup. I agree. @@MarieHickson-ro4gl
You know, I find it so interesting that Janelle wanted Robyn and her kids in the family, when SHE was the one who paid the bills, did the books, etc. Then later, she starts to really worry how they're going to be able to financially handle all these extra people! It makes no sense!
I think she was just trying to keep sweet and not say anything. Sad.
Right? Makes me wonder if she expressed concern and Kody just said, "God will provide." ugh.
I agree with you!@@Hippy1969
@lauriewelker4466 I was just rewatching and noticed that too. Maybe Janelle thought that Robbing would be financially more independent? Adding the cost of a rental house + feeding Robyn and her three kids was probably more than Janelle had thought.
Didn't Janelle suggest that Robyn live with her in the Lehi house?
I think it gradually dawned on Janelle what financing Robyn + her kids really cost. Then add the credit card debt the Browns took over. I can also guess that Robyn's job search wasn't too intense. Instead, she got a nanny.
We have heard about DINKs. (Double income no kids).
Robbing was a NITK. No income three kids.

It came out this past season that behind the scenes nobody was happy when Robyn joined the family.
really? I need to do a rewatch!
@@SeniorPerspective-123 In the Talkback/Lookback, Kody says he and Robyn were "lovestruck", but everyone else was unhappy and complaining about it.
@@pazzy001 I'd translate Kody's "lovestruck" with "my pencil got stuck"!! ✏
😂@@dorisblaubucht4438
@@pazzy001 ooh! Good memory!
This is why I am ECSTATIC for Christine as she is FINALLY getting to be loved and cherished by someone who values and embraces her. Kody screwed her royalty and took her granted.
I completely agree. I'm so happy for her too!
How has Tony lost all that weight but is still drinking Mountain Dew?!
So funny, I wondered the same thing!
I tried to figure out if that was regular or diet...
Kody was never equipped to lead. If Janelle had been the family leader, she would have gotten Kody a motorcycle, not a Robyn and the family would still be together.
that made me laugh out loud! "she would have gotten Kody a motorcycle, not a Robyn "🤣
The family has to get permission from the church to add a wife. My understanding is that they were turned down for adding a different 4th wife.
Also, I love your posts. No anger or agenda, just funny, real, relatable reactions. It's like chatting with a friend.
That's my understanding too. Kody, like a toddler, doesn't like to be told 'no', so this is likely when they left the church and started having services at home. His religious convictions went right out the window - he just wanted Robyn.
Interesting. So Kody went against the church?
You're so kind. Thank You!@@Jeannies3Wishes
Wow. He sure is a piece of....@@skokian1able
It was 16 years later I think. Plus the way Kody did the whole thing was wrong.
Right? Kody doesn't follow rules. He does what he wants
I think Christine is better off now. She has a man that loves only her.❤
I completely agree with you.
It was obvious Christine did not want another wife in the family. Add onto that, pregnancy hormones. Janelle did question how a fourth wife would effect their family. Meri only wanted Robyn as a "gift" for Kody to earn his favor.
During the courtship, a major problem came up but the family ignored it. Family motto raising kids was 1) every adult treated every child like their own; 2) "if you aren't bleeding don't bother us; 3) rough housing was encouraged, as well as climbing tall mountains of rocks; 4) Christine was the main caretaker of children, but any mom available would help out when necessary.
Robyn did not trust anyone to watch her kids, so add nanny; 2) no rough housing for her children, too dangerous; 3) she did not want anyone else disciplining her children except her; 4) she saw normal sibling interactions as bullying her kids; 5) and the biggie....she did her best to stop her kids from growing up.
IMO any family that is blending children, need all adults and kids to be on the same page for how to act and consequences for bad behavior. Most important is TRUST in the adults to handle your children.
Robyn NEVER TRUSTED anyone with her kids.....not even Meri!
This blended family never had a chance.....lumpy from beginning to end.
100% Everything you said Is facts.
This is an amazing synopsis of the family. Love it!
anniekay3564: Wow, so well formulated. The OG3 family - IMO - had a chance. But really not this blended one. Robyn wasn't voted off the Brown family island. She did that by choice. I don't think that any of the other marriages really existed shortly after Robbing came into the family.
Could Kody have picked an absolute worse time to bring in another wife? Christine was like 8-9 months pregnant, what was he thinking?
Christine did the same thing to Janelle because Janelle was pregnant when Christine wanted to join the family !!!
Among the wives, Christine was the one who took care of the children of all three, did the laundry and cooked, that's why the children of the three wives still consider Cristine a mother in addition to their biological mother.
Yes, she did it all. I have NO idea how! She's wonder woman
Not totally true
Meri watched the kids when Christine worked at the Church, and when she worked with the Polygamy Center
She also helped Christine.
It was talked about during the Show.
Christine DID NOT take care of all the kids by herself. Her and Meri alternated childcare and they took turns. Everyone thinks Christine does everything and she doesn't. She whined about Robyns having a nanny, but Christine fails to see, she had one too when they moved to Vegas and Truley was the only one not in school, She was under 4
@@SeniorPerspective-123 Get facts. She didnt do it all
Now,that wasn't necessary. Please be kind in my comment section
Christine really did try to make the best of it after all.Thats the difference between her and Robs.
She did, right?
Yes, Christine tried. Still, Robbing was blaming Christine - and partly Kody - for "not working things out". There is nothing to work out if there is no real affection or connection or respect.
But remember how Robbing told how she had fought for her marriage. Chrstine did that too since 2009 when you came along, Robbing!
Christine, in her fairytale ideal of this polygamy she was supposed to be the 3rd and last wife because her dad only had 2 and it was Hell. Meri and Janelle had the idea about bringing another wife because Kody put in their minds. The scene of Kody telling the kids about Robyn was fake. They already knew about Robyn joining the family but TLC haven't recorded yet.
You can tell by the overreaction of the kids!
Gooooood morning, Jenny!
We love your videos ❤
Thank. you so much!! And good afternoon!
No Christine Didn’t have a choice. They don’t care about her opinion.
It was mentioned somewhere that the man (Kody in this case) would need to get permission from church leaders to take on another wife and a criteria for this could be based on whether the family could afford to financially support another wife (and in Robyn’s case 3 additional children). Kody, prior to the show, couldn’t financially support the 3 wives and the children he already had.
that is so true. Without this show, I guess either no Robyn, or Kody leaves the "church" to take Robyn as a wife. Well, she would never join their family if it wasn't for the fame and fortune that came with the TV show.
@@SeniorPerspective-123 Exactly! TLC money helped Kody adding Robbing into the family. 😁
Robyn kept asking Kody to help herself. In Las Vegas, Kody's office was in Robyn's house and even there Kody favored Robyn. Kody didn't help Christine take care of her youngest child she just gave birth to when Kodyn and Robyn took several weeks off.
I so agree, Hope.
I remember hearing ages ago (while in Vegas) that Kody only stays at Robbing's. Back then revelead on social media by neigbors, if I remember correctly. On one-on-one, Christine told that too. Kody spent one month mainly in her house - as a test.
On season 18, Robbing told Meri how she had tracked his time and there was a month where he was hardly ever at her house.
That was so ridiculous. Robbbing talking about exactly the ONE trial month. This woman is a master manipulator, but on the other hand, stupid enough to talk about this one month. ONE month!! I don't want to insult any cows... But Robbing was being one. A stupid one.
Kody had an affair with Robin and only way to save grace was to add her to the family. Kody was tired of the other three.
Hmmm. This is an interesting point... Do you know more about K+R starting "dating"? I don't know if we can trust what was said on the show or in their book....
I totally agree with him being tired of the other three. I think that was the reason for Robyn's Sacred Covenant with Kody, including that he would tell her when he's fed up with her, instead of keeping her hanging on in a miserable marriage. She knew before marrying Kody that the other three wives weren't happy. Or Kody was fed up with them. Or either way or both ways!
Meri wanted to take kody away from Christine and sobin Rob em was the tool.
Robyn's husband David is Christine's cousin. Christine knew Robyn's background and her shopping addiction. She knew how David's family gave money to pay off his credit card debt. Lies Lies Lies.
Mykelti’s description of Meri as “Boss Lady” speaks VOLUMES.
It’s so sad ! I feel for Christine ! She was a steady one ! Robyn didn’t try to immerse herself in the family , she just took and took and took and lied and lied ! I didn’t like her at all especially when she lied about the wedding dress gate ! She didn’t even try to find a job !!! Just a total grifter !!!! I don’t identify with her in any way , she’s not relatable !
Yup! I can't relate either. I have not liked her from day one
@@SeniorPerspective-123me either! Robyn is totally not relatable to majority of people
She is lazy, a taker, a manipulator, and a pathological liar! I didn’t like her from day one, either! I knew she was going to be bad news and a HUGE trouble maker
Poor Tony gets everything wrong about this family, and Mykelti mostly speaks from the child perspective.
It's really shocking to see how early on Christine was really struggling. During her pregnancy and after Truely's birth. Now seeing this, I think "Girl, run!". IMO, Kody tossed aside everyone else but Robbing and her kids.
I think any mother can relate to Christine's feelings. Just imagine a husband finds a new "jeans model" while you're pregnant and while you're dealing with all your hormonal changes and emotions?
Yep. Kody really is a "good man". Yikes. 🤮
Christine also has a history with Robin divorcing her cousin. She probably knew the background of that previous marriage and reason for divorce.
I agree. She knew this chick was trouble
Christine very probably knew a lot more than she was ever able or allowed to reveal. Either on the show or otherwise.
Christine and Janelle knew from the start that Robyn was a bad idea. Even if Robyn was a good person, the dynamics in the family were too fragile to add a whole new wife and kids to deal with. I think Mykelti is beginning to see that.
I hope her eyes keep getting opened up.
Hi Jenny, it's Mase Chill under my other account. I think it's weird Tony has never seen the episodes either. Especially the ones with him in it. I would at least watch mine lol. Mykelti's take on "fave wife" is off. Yes, Meri was boss lady but we know from her and Kody's account they had issues in their marriage from the beginning and intimacy was non-existent for years. I agree that Christine probably did think she was the last and therefore she wouldn't have to go through what the others had to go through.
Christine said she was the 3rd fun wife. So Robyn took that status from her. Christine's 6th child was barely a blimp on Kody's mind. He was filled with his love (lust) for Robyn.
Hello Mase Chill aka Dani! I agree with everything you wrote!
Yup. Truely was the most ignored by Kody. so sad@@g.flesch9731
Mykelties very young and by the time she’s about in her 40s and over her views on her family are going to change a lot! I have a feeling she will begin to view the whole situation including Robyn, very differently!
Kody got Christine pregnant he went and found Robyn or during the conception he was meeting Robyn. So after a miscarriage and new relationship Kody was courting another.. 😳 yikes
Right? You can't write this s#@!
The same thing happened to Janelle when Christine came into the family. This is the nature of their religious beliefs. Janelle was 6 months pregnant when Kody married Christine.
@@iamdionne your right this is how it’s done.. but the women suppress feelings and when those emotions are at the highest
@pink-glittersoap2397 I think they all are doing it for religious reasons, including the men. This religion requires people to do a lot of suppressing. The men are supposed to act like they love, or like all the women equally, and the women are supposed to act like they are not jealous or trying to be their favorite. It is a very toxic situation, mentally.
After sixteen years, I’m sure Christine felt their family was settled. Later we learn Robyn was married to Christine’s cousin. Surely Christine had inside information about Robyn’s 1st marriage break up and Robyn’s character. Christine’s intuition proved right in the end.
Yup, Teresa! She had to have been on guard from day one. Even before!
I thought that TLC had rejected the Browns (too boring) until Kody went to them and asked if bringing on a new wife would change their minds. TLC said yes. They wouldn't have gotten the show without Robyn.
well, that's some interesting tea! Where did you hear that? I want to research! :)
I thought Christine got them the show
@@yourmomsspaghetti5990 She got them the CONTACT for the show and then referred the contact to Kody. Kody was then in negotiation with the contact. I think they call it pitching. But I guess TLC thought it was too boring until Kody came up with then bringing on a new wife.
@@SeniorPerspective-123 I am trying to remember where I read that. I feel like it was an online gossip magazine. This was before I knew about Sister Wives subreddits and I was hungry for info.
I think Tony was going to say Christine knew it would cause the brake up of the family
OH, I never thought of that one!
@@SeniorPerspective-123 that is my gut feeling.
This is the first sister wives video I watched since garrison died. So thank you for not making a circus out of his death. May he rest in peace 🕊️
@@harrietyounger6118 Indeed. I only did one video the day I found out he died to inform all the viewers and so they didn't hear it first from a vlogger who was insensitive to the situation. And no more. May he rest in peace indeed. And may his siblings and Janelle find peace as well.
@@SeniorPerspective-123 very true 🙏
It's like she can tell that Robyn wasn't in it to be a sister wive - but wanted the man only.
I think it’s interesting around 26:55 Janell actually says something like “when one of the couples is struggling…”. I saw one of the recent interviews with Christine where she related a conversation she had with Robyn when Robyn referred to the family being 4 “couples” and Christine objected to that language and sort of used it as proof that Robyn was not committed to Polygamy. That Janell used that terminology early on discounts Christine’s argument a bit. I mean, I’ll always be team Christine, but I’m also fact/reality based.
What a great observation, Anne!
I don't see how Mykelti can say Meri was the favorite. The boss, yes, but the favorite no.
The only favourite old Kod has, is the one he sees in the mirror!
@@b.m.t.h.3961 Well, Kody think he's a gift from God. IMO, he did have a favorite, a pencil humidor. ✏🌧
Just look at the way Cody choked and kissed meri in the first episode and Meri was the skinny wife and the 1st wife the first wife have the most power
@@yourmomsspaghetti5990 I think he did that because he was so happy about marrying Robyn. Meri definitely looked better back then. I don't know - maybe she was the favorite. I go back & forth with my opinion.
Yes, so when he found the one he really loves. Then the rest went all to hell. Because when he found Robyn, he was really in love. But because of his past playing around with people lives. Yes him and Robyn are in love, but they are not living a happy life.
nope That's the justice in the end. They got each other. And they look MISERABLE!
Robyn was a storyline invented for the show. So when they voted on Robyn coming into the family… it was really a vote to pursue the TLC show. Originally it was just a documentary. But with the addition of Robyn, the intrigue was there and the show was created.
Nobody wanted Robyn especially us viewers... She Broke up that whole family.
Yup, she was the beginning of the end.
This makes sense as to why Christine wanted to always be the third
Right? Thanks for the comment!
I believe the decision to bring Robyn in was made long before Christine ever knows. We all know Meri and Kody had this little secret about Robyn. Also Meri even admits this. Meri used this to get close to Kody. We all know this blew up in Meri's face once Kody proposed to Robyn and everyone became aware of her.
This is a very good point. And there's proof of the secrets to prove it!
@@SeniorPerspective-123 I totally agree. Meri apparently/possibly wanted to comply, hoping to gain Kody's favor. Remember, she said on the one-on-ones that Kody required that she behave in a certain way and that she do certain things. So I can totally see these things being a) Supporting him to bring in Robbing and b) filing for divorce so that K+R can get legally married.
My theory is that Robbing cried her eyes out to Kody, telling that her kids weren't safe. "Things would be so different if we were married". That kind of stuff.
Then Ramen Head decided that he has to save Robbing and her kids by divorcing Meri, marrying Robbing and adopting her kids.
The enthusiastic reactions from the original Brown kids about the adoption were very probably forced on them. We now know that they had to "shut up and play along". (Sorry, can't remember which of the kids talked about this. Mykelti?)
Meri knew for two weeks before the other's and probably because she was there, and saw them.
Meri was not happy, and it showed. She said as much, several times.
She even thought about leaving.
That scene in the Restaurant, where Meri asked Kody how 'he' would feel ?
Meri was clear,and TLC did not show it all.
@@lauriekurad I agree. The goal of the show was to portray how "normal" polygamist families are.
When I see clips of very early episodes, it seems as if I had never really caught back then how unhappy the OG3 were. Christine and Meri were unhappy and sad, Janelle suspicious and worried.
@@dorisblaubucht4438 I agree with all of that, Doris. I wish Meri would spill the tea on all the things Kody required her to do!
Christine could see the writing on the wall from the beginning. She was group pressured into begrudgingly giving her OK. She spent years waiting for Cody to prove her instincts wrong but all he ended up doing was confirming she was right over and over and over again. I am happy for her that she gave up waiting for a different result, even though nothing was changing. I am so glad she is happy now in a wonderful relationship. I am happy that Janelle and Meri are also finding their personal bliss on their own terms as strong, independent women.
Woo Hoo!!!! 6k subscribers… 🎉 Congratulations
Thank you so much. Slowly but surely "I'm a growin' ! " :). Thank you for your support!
My theory is that the only reason the show got officially greenlighted was bc of the addition of a fourth wife. I think Christine has to choose between poverty or a third wife. The whole first season was about the intro of Robyn into the family. If they really just wanted the OG 3 then my guess is that they would have started shooting before the idea of another wife came into the picture.
There was a scene early on the show , where maddy and Robyn are talking about maddy just wanting one guy and one husband and Robyn accidentally said you and I are the ? Then she stopped , it sounded like Robyn was going to say that was her belief as well , you are like me that way ! But she caught herself !!!!
Oh wow! Juicy! I never caught that!
Wow! I wish somebody can find that bit. I can only remember Robbing telling Maddie how Maddie can't decide about her church before she's 18 (or maybe older, can't remember). I was thinking back then, what or who does give Robbing the power to rule over Janelle's children? If I remember correctly, Janelle was present during this conversation. I would like to know if and what Janelle told Robyn after filming that scene. I hope she said FU.
I hope Mykelti will be ok. This is all she knew and this is her way of financial support her family. This has to be daunting and stressful trying to comment on the people she loves. I hope she confides in therapy. Grace for her and her family
Christine in that moment in time. Being with child and the biological emotions that are involved. That doesn't help.. Having her part of Kody detoured 5hrs away courting Robyn . I would fee sad and abandoned too.
Absolutely!! Me too!
So true. And just think about this: Kody was dating Robbing and spending time at her house while Christine was pregnant. That's one of the sleaziest things a man can do during a pregnancy. I doubt how good chaperons Kody's kids were... Premarital pencil sharpening? Many have doubted K+R's chastity....
@@dorisblaubucht4438you do realize that Christine did the same thing to Janelle when Christine ask Kody to marry her Janelle was very pregnant but Christine didn't care about Janelle's feelings !!!
Kody believed the lies he told himself. “A good man would never accept Christine at her age while knowing “she gave up a GOOD MAN🤮” Looks like Creative storytelling (lying) Kody was wrong yet again.
Typical narcissistic behavior. I’m so glad Christine finally has reciprocated love.
me too!!!
Let's face it, truth be told there are many men (and women) that willingly take on a "bad" woman or man.
@CZMuzic2714 You're so right!
Narcissistic Kody sees himself as a good man. To whom? To Robbing Cryebrows. To his kids with the OG3 and the OG3? No.
The "good man" has to do with their church. A woman should not divorce a good man. (If she does, she's not a good person.) That's why Robbing was telling how horrible her 1st marriage was. So she was able to dump him and leave him for Kody and the TV show. (My opinion + something that has been said about her...)
@@dorisblaubucht4438but what you guys are forgetting is that Christine went to Kody directly and ask him if he would marry her and if she could join the family and at that time Janelle was very pregnant so in my opinion it's no different than when Robyn came into the family !!! Christine did not take care of all of those kids all on her own like she tries to make out she did because when Meri was not working her two jobs she was always there to help Christine with the kids !! Look at how Janelle entered the family, Meri and Kody head went to visit Meri's brother Janelle said that she knew that she wanted to marry Kody even though she was already married to Meri's brother and Janelle did the same thing that Christine did and ask Kody to marry her but NEVER considered Meri's feelings and Janelle was Meri's sister-in-law !!! I'm so tired of this poor Christine cycle because Christine what is the one to ask Kody to marry her, it was her choice to have six children, Christine seemed to be the one that always had a problem in the family and Christine definitely didn't discipline any of her children because look what Mykelti and Paedon turned out like. 🤢🤢 I have caught Christine in so many lies whale watching the show back and she isn't fooling me any !!!
I think at that time it wasn’t so much Robyn in particular that Christine didn’t want added to the family, it was that she didn’t want another sister wive, period. She was the third, which was the position she wanted, and it had been that way for 15 years. I don’t think anyone fore saw the damage that was in store for the entire family. A sister wive who understood how a sister wive should fit in would have possibly worked out okay. Robyn was not a good fit and was,in fact, a terrible, destructive fit.
So glad I found your channel! You are SO on point with your opinion. Christine DID NOT want to have another wife in the picture. There was too much going on. She was heavily pregnant. Lots of emotions and she liked the way thinks were.
Christine wasn’t fake! That why we like her!
YUP. I've been rooting for her since day one.
@@SeniorPerspective-123 Hi! I believe she seems this going down wrong road ! Thanks! Enjoy your evening! 🤗🥰
Jenny, 3 wives is the minimum kinda like when you go to a comedy club, Kody's approach to marriage is a joke so it fits🤣🤣
LOL. well said.
As soon as Kody goes completely broke, Sobyn wiil be GONE IMMEDIATELY
*I really hope Christine writes a book now she is out and free and happy*
In all Fairness Christine Chose to b a plural wife. She Chose this lifestyle.
Christine was not good at speaking her mind for Many years.
Reminder: Christine married into the family When Janelle was preggers.
And I disagree with Christine being the Most connected. Meri & Janelle Both loved & worked hard for the family. Working moms can be connected to their kids as well.
In all fairness Mykelti is allowed to have her opinion of her life & her family.
true. and good point about working moms. i agree.
Recently found your channel. Really nice to have a more succinct interpretation of the show.
Welcome aboard! So glad you found me. Glad you enjoy it. Now, you have many past videos to catch up on! LOL
Really enjoy your perspective and the attention you give to detail. I think the only thing that ever makes me comment on this Sister Wives stuff is always in the kids defense on whatever they are (or aren't) saying. They are, for sure, in some ways working out being the adult product of an unhealthy family dynamic with a lot brighter spotlight than many. I won't go so far as to call it an abusive family, but only because I'm being EXTRA GENEROUS in realizing that they likely hid it well.
I love that many of the kids are now making their own content because if you get exploited your whole freaking life, good for you for figuring out how to make some cash off of it yourself!!!!!! But also, I cringe because the older ones are all in that general age range where you are trying to come to terms with whatever dysfunction you had growing up....but also they are doing it on cameras...because they don't even know that's what they are doing.
So, Mykelti is trying to NOT loose her dad that she still loves, so yes, she's gonna be as gentle with her perspective as possible because he's the NOT SAFE ONE. She can be honest about her mom because a healthy parent isn't gonna ditch you for being honest...and she's learned, along with all the rest of her family how it works out for you if you are honest with dad about his terrible choices and behavior. I suspect her re-watch will do her more harm than good if she doesn't have a therapist because she'll probably see the painfully bad parent she has while also trying not to completely tank her parents current livelihood. The more I think about it, there is no way that child can be honest with herself MUCH LESS strangers on camera.
So many people ask "how can she not see?" but I want to scream it... y'all, we think this is commentary from an objective adult involved in a heavy situation but it's not. This is really a child who desperately needs her "parents/ family" to be. Every kid who grows up in trama learns the tactic that works best for them to get through it. Eventually, many give up and cut their parent(s) out but that's CRAZY HARD when you absolutely love and feel like you need them. That is a baby (i dont care how old she is technically) who DESPERATELY wants to keep her dad and she knows that to keep her dad she's gotta tiptoe around a lot of stuff. And I don't even mean "tiptoe" on social media; I mean in her own mind.
That's all... I know that's a lot.... just saying. When I see these clips I see a young lady trying REALLY HARD to not loose her "dad" even if if only existed in her imagination.
I don’t think that Christine had any say in anything.
You are probably right, Vicki!
