Great job on this video! Thank you for going into detail all the facts about Ysabelle's scoliosis and how severe her condition had been. My daughter has severe scoliosis and wanted the same tether surgery as Ysabelle. Tether surgery is NOT covered by insurance and it isn't considered a medically necessary surgery(complete nonsense i.m.o). Many scoliosis groups tell you a step by step process from GoFundMe to contacting your local news stations and different crowd sourcing. Sometimes hospitals like Shriners Children's will cover the cost but only in younger children who haven't stopped growing, this is why my kid isn't able to get the procedure. The tether recovery from start to finish is 3-4mo's vs la spinal fusion like what I suspect your girlfriend went through was probably a entire year recovery process. I don't agree with not having insurance for the kids but in Ysabelle's case insurance doesn't cover the less invasive surgery.
That catfishing was the best thing that ever happened to Kody !!! Then he could throw his hands up and say ,”see Meri is a bad wife , she doesn’t love me , she cheated on me !” Knowing full well she was lonely because HE hadn’t been a husband to her in years ! He left her a long time ago . Now he has an excuse to put all the blame on Meri . We see you Kody . You’re despicable !!!!
I got so heated when Kody said he couldn't go to his daughters surgery because no man can be away from his family for that long. My oldest had surgery two weeks ago and the only reason why my husband wasn't with us (and the only good reason in my opinion) was because my husband is underway (out to sea he's in the navy). My husband felt guilty that he couldn't be there for our child and he would have had he not been in the ocean.
That, or in the hospital himself. Robbem is a POS, too. If my husband's daughter from a previous relationship needed a surgery like that, I would have kicked his sorry arse all the way to the plane!
IMO, Kody didn't want to show up for the surgery bc he did not want to discuss the bill with anyone, not her doctor, or the health care providers, or Christine. That way, the bill only went to Christine. He never paid one penny of that bill.
So the only one who never held a job has a nanny, and the one who was raising and homeschooling all the pre-existing children was "working overnight". Wow.
Krody then couldn't be bothered to tuck children in bed - it was put on a 10 year old to do! 10 year old in a house full of children prob all alone, WOW what neglect
They ALL needed a nanny. Ain't nothing like being a stay at ho.e mom. I haven't had a job in over a decade. I'm so ready to end myself. This shit is NOT for the faint of heart.
Which is wild to think about because my uncle is almost 90% sure one of his sons isn't *his* son, and he still pays child support because 'he doesn't have anyone else'. @beewest5704
I remember the episode when Kody and Robyn announced that she was pregnant with Solomon, and none of the older kids were happy about it. Now we know why.
its especially sad when the older kids talk about their upbringing when pre TLC the family struggled financially to take care of everyone. robyn comes into the family and almost immediately gets pregnant and never gets a job
@graceperez8759: Christine worked while pregnant, Robyn could have done the same till a few weeks before giving birth. But Kody seemed to think his first three wives were shingle mares, doing all the work and earning money, and Robyn was a dressage horse.
My biggest pet peeve (besides Robyn being such a manipulative liar) is that Kody used God and Jesus as a tool to cheat, control, abuse, neglect, covet, and scam money. I don’t see one flicker of God in any of KBs character. Having run into Robyn several times, she is also void of any humility, humbleness, class, education, and is anything but kind.
Fully agree, there is nothing about their behaviour that reads as good people. Could you share how you found interacting with Robyn? How did she came across and how did she behave towards the people around her?
Jody has always been a pos. I don't understand how people didn't realize it from the very first episode. Hell I was a teen and caught that from day one. Robin is just as bad if not worse. So happy everyone got away from them.
The destruction was Kody's narcissism. He needed the high of the ego boost. He no longer got that from the little kids looking up to him or the wives praising him for being an involved father. Robyn was giving it to him by treating him as her best customer, as she put it. He was jealous when he saw all of his wives drool over the Darger husband, who has his crap much more together than chaotic Kody. And the Dargers advocated for one house. That's when Kody pushed one house so he could be the king and have his wives admire him as much as they admired Darger. But they didn't go for it and it was a massive narc injury. And he told them they could leave but in his mind, they were supposed to leave by saying, "it's not you; it's me" and spare his ego. Instead, they called him out for being a crappy father. And he responded by showing the world that he's an overall crappy person. Because his narcissism can't take that public rejection.
I don't know how you can see a non working wife with a nanny and another recalling the parentializing of their 10 y/o, but come to the conclusion that success and fame is the cause the break up. No. It's Robyn and Kody that tore this family apart.
It's polygamy in general that is the issue. A man jjst lording over a family meant to serve his whims and needs, not a healthy functional family from the very concept of multiple wives
@hospitable_ghost: I do think Janelle and Christine properly cared for their children, they supported each other and raised their children together. But Kodx seemed to have barely spend time with his children.
Seeing Kody's house of cards just fall apart has been satisfying. He's the kind of guy who _needs_ to be revered and respected. He cares so much about appearances and controlling the narrative. But when you're on TV for years and years, your mask _will_ slip. He was already kind of disliked at the beginning, but with time he became the perfect example of a narcissist trying and failing to keep everyone under his control, and how unstable and immature they can be when they aren't at the top anymore.
100% of polygamy is really about avg/ in most cases below avg & extremely old 🤴🏼 men appear to be monarchs while their wives and many children continue to be their many subjects.
Codys hair has caused the collapse of his family. The conditioner, the oils, the hair bands, and other hair products. Those fu*king curls. I mean it's crazy that his ridiculous hair choice and the lengths he would go to maintain it made the family collapse because it wasn't about love anymore it was about his hair curls
😂😂😂 Sure, it all would've been fine if he just shaved his head instead. Though... You do kinda have a point as it would take even more time from his already busy schedule. It would still have been destined to fail either way but, yeah, that couldn't have helped. Unless the wives *really* loved his curls? Haha, who knows?
For years Meri would do anything for Kody just to win his favor. Anything ! But nothing Meri did was good enough for Kody. He didn't care. Kody has never cared about anyone but himself.
Don't you think that having 4 wives is an indication/red flag that he doesn't care about anyone but himself? If you loved a woman, you surely wouldn't put them through having too share their lives and husband etc?
@@eyesopen66not on its own, no. I know quite a few people in polyamory and they function in multiple relationships very well. There’s an idea that everyone wants monogamy, but it’s not true. However, what polygamy is when it’s related to a patriarchal religion does us totally different. So while on its own I don’t think it automatically means he’s a selfish person, being connected to a patriarchal religion really ups those odds.
@@eyesopen66he blames Meri now saying she basically made him bring wives into the marriage but he was in the religion before him and Meri was married. He doesn't take accountability for anything that goes bad.
Poor Ysabel. Being saddled with a condition as painful as severe scoliosis that young is bad enough, but knowing that your parents can't immediately afford it because you don't have health insurance is horrible. Not to mention how it seems like Kody was trying to prolong her inevitable need for surgery for as long as possible so he wouldn't have to pay for it, even though he didn't fork over a cent. What an awful person.
Seeing Kody and Robyn in a dining room the size of Janelle's last apartment in Flagstaff makes me realize just how spoiled Robyn was...it really sheds light on how differently they all lived compared to Robyn. I don't care about all the excuses they used to justify the purchase of that huge home....it was wrong and Robyn nor Kody should have ever even considered it.
It breaks my heart for Isabelle. She wanted her dad with her for a major surgery-which he didn’t even pay for or TRY to pay for-and he more or less told her she’s not as important as his “other” family. That poor girl 💔
I recall Robyn griping about the family moving a lot. But it seems like the moves were for her. Robyn can not ever speak the truth. She is an habitual liar.
And she likes to look like she is so taken advantage of by the other wives. Her eye brows are down and pinched in to prove she is a victim and is suffering. Such a manipulator!
I am beyond tired of Kody playing the poor victim. He is nothing but a dramatic man-child who needs to grow up and take responsibility for his children, if nothing else. I feel the worst for all his kids, they are the true victims.
Yup. And today the tragedy happened with the loss of Garrison. It’s because of the narcissistic abuse of Kody and Kody and Robyn destroying the family.
The destruction was the inequality, thats about it. The newest wife became the favourite, got most of the money that the original wives were earning, (she on the other hand refused to get a job). Then she got the biggest house, her kids with her first husband got preferential treatment, then of course the two kids she had with Kod got preferential treatment once they came along. Kod basically decided he wanted to be monogamous with her, but keep the three original wives as packhorses providing Kod and Robber (Robyn) with cash. He didnt want to have sex with the three original wives (probably a blessing), he didn't want to spend time with them but more importantly, he lost total interest in the non Robber children. Thats about it. Polygamy as a rule is nonsense, it was invented by men, for men as an excuse to legitimately comit infidelity. One man cannot financially, emotionally and physically take care of a herd of kids, its a ridiculous way of life that people should be ashamed of.
It seems to me, that the reason Kody, "loves" Robyn so much, is because she is the best at "loving" him. This man seems to be completely enamored with himself, and after over a decade of women, that aren't so smitten with him, anymore, young Robyn comes in , and makes him feel special, and wanted again. I think he just loves how she makes him feel.
I think that Meri thought that her great sacrifice of her legal marriage to Kody was like an insurance policy that would make her position of “First Wife” more permanent and secure. She made herself completely vulnerable. And, her reward for trusting Kody and Robin…really all of the adults, would be a real respect and security. Kody dropped her like a hot potato, just as soon as she dissolved their legal marriage. He really is despicable. And, Robyn is just as horrible. She manipulated Meri into feeling protective of her. Robyn ran with the power, the second Meri released her legal claims on the family.
Agree. I feel like the legal marriage to Kody was the only thing meri had over her sister wives. It was the only thing that put her above the other wives, especially since meri couldn't give Kody multiple kids as the other wives did. So when she gave up her legal marriage, it left her completely vulnerable, like she gave up her super power.
Meri didn't all of a sudden find Robyn.. Robyn sought out the Brown family.. She knew they were getting ready to have their own show because her Ex husband Preston is Christine's cousin!! 🙄🤦🏻♀️ She knew exactly what she was doing.. All she saw was 💲💲💲
You are 100% correct! I watched this show from the first episode, but stopped at season 13 because I found Kody to be emotionally abusive to his first 3 wives. I grew to despise him and Robyn. Their behavior was horrible and manipulative. I started watching again in season 17 because I had heard that Christine had left Kody. I loved seeing that season, and then went back to stream seasons 13,14,15 and 16, with the knowledge that Christine fought back and left. Season 18 was even better because now Kody and Robyn and getting what they deserve. I'm not surprised that rating have improved now that Kody and Robyn and having to face the ramifications of how they treat people.
Finally hearing someone say *scoliosis is very painful* after having a specialist tell my mom I was faking the pain because it was just how my spine grew is so fucking validating. Thank you.
I'm so very sorry. I hope you've been able to find some relief. Scoliosis is so painful! I wasn't diagnosed until I was an adult. It can be so debilitating and the pain is maddening. My ex-husband doubted me. It sucks when you are struggling and don't have the support you need. I hope you and your mom told that guy to F off! and found a better doctor! P.S. I told that guy to F off and now enjoy not having my day ruined by 9 a.m. 😂
Meri divorcing Kody was to me the most disturbing. She actually had to go see a lawyer alone. Bc Kody can’t ask for a divorce. I wish she would have said NO…You go do it Kody or forget it! I wonder if he were so desperate, he would have.?
I agree. Going to the lawyer alone, ending all those years of marriage. It read to me like Kody was already checked out and deep in it with Robyn. I do remember Janelle and Christine comforting Meri and Kody not giving a flying flip about Meri's feelings on the matter. Saying it was just a formality and thus not that impactful in their relationship.
Interesting how Meri gave up her legal marriage so Kody could marry and adopt Robyn's children. Hmmm was that calculated to push Meri out. Meri, Christine and Janelle .... "wives" put aside for the new one.
Robyn’s best friend Kendra said that the catfish was a real man. I think Robyn and Kendra were part of the catfish. They knew about it and were totally in on it
I think them & the TLC producers were either the colprates/ it was a man that she had decided to leave Cody for & somehow it either didn't workout or she was begged to stay in the family to keep up appearances
Me and my mom use to watch this show religiously. And we use to talk about how we didn't believe that they were being totally truthful about how their family dynamics worked. We talked about how there was probably favoritism and as we watched we were proven right.
I can’t believe ANYONE watched this show and thought “aww this is such an amazing and cute family” this is the LITERAL definition of a cult. It’s disgusting
Because people still think the role of a male is to drop in and help pay the bills and MAYBE help with the kids; sometimes. My husband tried to give Tom Cruise koodos for still paying for his estranged daughters bills since he and mom divorced when the kid was 12. I reminded him that through 18, he was legally required to pay half that girls bills. And he's got the money that SEVERAL college educations should be paid by that man every year. Husband said he wouldn't pay bills of he couldn't his kid. I had to again, remind him, that in America at 12 years old a kid can decide contact and if they have to go to daddy on the weekends daddy has custody. A man withdrawals support from his child because he doesn't get to play/see/live/talk to his kid is fucking NASTY. But our society doesn't call that shit out. The attitude is EXPECTED. The amount of leeway given to males with eggshell egos while our society continues to worship an absentee felon is sad.
@@Loralanthalas 👏🏽 yes, girl! Couldn’t have said it better myself. That is so true. And that is very upsetting! I’m sorry you’ve gotta go through that. I hope you’re doing well 💜
I feel you in a way. There is always gonna be jealously. I was just waiting for them to express the truth. Now, it's Not a cult in any way, by definition, but I do think they set themselves up for lack of love.
It's just the fact he's such a good dad to Robyn's kids....what they NEVER got. It broke the kids hearts and what mother is not going to stand up for their children. That's the main reason the OGs gave up on the marriages.
This is the most comprehensive summary of this twisted up family I’ve ever watched. I’ve only watched Sister Wives off and on throughout the years but from the very first season when he was “courting” Robin while poor Christine was pregnant I could only see this headed in one direction. (I think most people probably saw this ending the same way.) I am just surprised it took this long. I guess that big paycheck from the TV show was enough to “keep them together.” Thank you so much. It really breaks down every aspect of the evolution of the family’s implosion. I feel terrible for the children. Especially the oldest boys. With no same-sex parent consistently in the household they had to be the “man” of the house instead of just getting to be kids like they should have. Hopefully they learned how NOT to be a husband or father from their dad and they will be excellent family men in their own right.
Thank you for covering the scoliosis surgery. I'm 55. I went undiagnosed until age 35. At this point I had other issues that rendered surgery impossible for me. I now have a curve of 50% and deal with pain on a daily basis others cannot imagine.
You can literally see the life force being sucked out of Sobbin Robin's face from the very first episode to the present. The other sister wives were going the same route but now to see the life back in their eyes is fantastic. Definitely not a fan of their MLM crap but honestly, they didn't really have many options for a living income at this point. I hope they wake up soon and stop ripping people off.
@realiteasquad - you did a fantastic job my girl! It was so great seeing your beautiful face! Way to go! I’ve been with you for quite awhile! I love ya, girl! ❤
When Christine gets super enthusiastic about something I get nervous now because I’m worried she does it to try and convince herself. Hence my worry about this marriage. I’m probably wrong… but I’m still nervous for her…
This was very well done. I knew MLM‘s were bad. I had friends who lost lots of money with Luluroe. I guess because I was such a fan of the show and I want Christine, Janelle, and Meri to be happy and successful, I just ignored the obvious.
There was no legal drama surrounding the move to Las Vegas. The state of Utah rarely prosecutes polygamy. The abuses have to be really egregious for it to get to that point, and then it's more likely to have more to do with child abuse or neglect or underage "marriages".
Paedon addressed that in the infamous interview. Basically, the state said they won't prosecute as long as the family just goes about their lives, but it will if they flaunt the polygamy with a TV show. So Kody had to decide whether to stay put and but be prosecuted or leave and keep his attention grab and paycheck.
I just have to say, I remember being a child (ok apparently around 16 but still young lol) watching Meri and Kody’s divorce and I never once had the impression that Meri offered divorce as an option so that he could marry Robyn and adopt her kids. I always saw it as Kody and Robyn being the ones to instigate that idea and the three of them being like well it’s just paperwork it doesn’t mean that anything is going to change, but alas, many things changed. Robyn was clearly the favorite wife, new and shiny, and it was easy to see how Kody started pushing away from the other wives when Robyn came into the picture. I didn’t watch the show religiously so I didn’t know the full extent of what he was doing for her, like the moves to Vegas and Arizona (I didn’t even know they moved to Arizona actually)
He was probably very charismatic for a long time which allowed him to have all of that control and power. He couldn’t keep up that front forever, he got lazy and that’s why the wives finally saw him for who he actually was.
They were raised in the same environment (their parents were in the same environment) and in case you didn't notice they must have all been extremely young. Young people are often easier to manipulate
Just because they are not married doesn't mean Kody doesn't have legal obligation ! They could draw child support for the younger children if they wanted to go through the legal process.......I'm sure Kody is quietly worried about that..........
He never needed to adopt the children it was his way to divorce Meri. He is not on all the children's birth certificate they were just named Brown, Robyn's children could have taken the Brown name without the adoption. He and Robyn kept Meri around because of the money she was bring in. The wives were working to keep Robyn and her children as Robyn never worked. Robyn and Kody will not last unless Kody can keep her in the big house and the luxury she thinks she is entitled too.
@@maluparisi8775 Is there anyone who would want to be married to him, having seen his life and the way he treats his wives over the past decade? Maybe there’s someone, but he’s shown that he’d rather been monogamous.
As someone whose has scoliosis and had to have the surgery at 16 I thankfully had a smooth surgery and smooth recovery and I’m glad I got it younger it’s still a rough surgery and recovery but so worth it in terms of pain relief and avoidance of future complications.
how Kody treats his son Garrison 8:58, he's rushing off to Robyn so Garrison has to force a hug on him as he is walking away from him. FATHER OF THE F@#$%#! YEAR!
Thank you Amanda! Loved being able to have my friend join me for a chat & so great to meet Sarah, Ace & Katelyn! Who would have thought this time last year when The L Word was wrapping that we’d be collabing on a Sister Wives video with completely new channels doing way better than the old ones 😂 Off to watch your new vid!
When Robin explained to the children why they aren't doing Christmas with the rest of the family, she could have explained that everyone has other plans and it's just a bad time due to Covid etc- instead she blamed everyone else ( but in a "nice" way) SMH
If I was in labor and my husband thought it was fine to go on a date and then come through to see our baby born at the end.... i would have a fcking aneurysm I'd be so pissed. HE'D need the hospital room more than me.
You’re not wrong, but then again if the foundation is weak to begin with, then nothing would have kept together. I think it all would have fallen apart anyways once the kids moved out.
Kody put the OG3 down and talked negatively about them and their children on national tv. He didn’t think any of them would see it? He and Robyn deserve all the negative attention that they are getting. I hope Meri and Janelle are able to sort through the financial nightmare and get their money back.
I used to watch sister wives when I was 13. I’m now 23 and started binge watching the show again, a few weeks ago. I‘m absolutely shocked, how Cody changed over the years. Your video is absolute gold!! I enjoyed watching it. Thank you. :) (I’m German, my English is probably a little bit shitty sorry 😅)
Girl… I just want to acknowledge what Mrs. Robyn has achieved. Like picture it, having no career, a high amount of debt and mid tier looks yet being the favorite wife, with the biggest house, a Nanny, the most expensive jewelry and the most attention. I see you girl, your mind is powerful sis.
Totally agree with everything you (& your guests) said about the MLMs. Fan base should absolutely be more critical of the MLM (ie pyramid scheme) businesses than they currently are.
I have noticed a lot of TH-camrs who made thousands upon thousands from MLMs and i always thought that was so unfair bc they had this following who blindly followed them into thinking they were going into “business” with them or had something to do with them. It’s so tacky and should be illegal.
Your videos are a complete treat! I grew up in a cult in the UK, I escaped at 16 but am not allowed contact with my family and am now 49. I love your delivery, presentation, narration and research. Thank you so much.
I’m so sorry to hear what a difficult time you had growing up & that you lost contact with your family. Sending you lots of hugs! Thank you so much for watching & the kind words about the content, I really appreciate it! 😘💜
I feel like consciously or not, Kody wanted them to leave the second he married Robin. Because how on earth could a man think any woman would stay with him, literally abusing and neglecting them daily
Great video! Fun facts: the Apostolic United Brethren is the sect the Brown family belongs to. The United Brethren were an American Christian church of Germanic origin which dissolved and was partially absorbed into Methodism in the 1940s. My Grandmother was a UB. Very different group from the AUB.
Someone asked one of the kids, maybe Gwen, about the MLMs and she said that they MLMs are a reliable gig for polygamists whereas a lot of traditional companies don't want to work with someone who is openly breaking a law, even if it's not routinely enforced.
🎯 Every mainstream Mormons do it. At least everyone I know. And they live in Minnesota and New York. Not even Utah. Interesting fact. Over 90 percent of MLM's have corporate headquarters in Utah.
What ruined the family? I’d say 100% Robyn. The money and fame came from the show, but how the money was spent showed the disparity in the relationships. He favored R and showed it by using the money coming in all on her and her kids. Seeing how he favored her led to their demise. Before then it was all fair, with her the difference was felt and seen
I disagree, I would say that Cody was always a narcissist - he had his attention needs fueled in the earlier days and as more and more moved out of his toxic sphere his need for fuel was being starved. There are always red flags and they were so blatant. Cody is not an intelligent man. Yes, Robyn was pivotal in the changing of the dynamics and I suspect highly narcissistic herself but Cody himself was the found of this broken unit. Yes golden children and black sheep - this is how the title should have changed over time. Never trust cults. There are always toxic personality disorders involved.
Kody first most blame Sobby second manipulating things to get her way and control over Kody was her ticket. Why she catered to him and was in his ear. Why she alienated the family over time and got Meri kicked out of top position to the point she ended up all the way out. Catfish looking like a set up from Sobby to end Kody caring about meri. We see how Sobby pretends to care and say one thing but when with Kody off camera it’s another story. Sometimes on camera she does it but she comes up with stupid I’m scared reasons to make sure Kody doesn’t reconnect. Why she wanted to wedge herself into all the other wives being able to speak with Kody because she “speaks Kody”.
People must just watch this show for the drama, or nostalgia now. Theres no way anyone thinks these are good people anymore...im surprised but happy to see someone talking about the obvious MLM's many of them are involved with. Anyway, I feel so bad for the children. Especially the ones that grew up on tv with no prior sense of a "normal" childhood. Kody is such a textbook narcissist he cant even hide it for a minute.
Excellent job! I feel the actual move to Vegas was because Sobyn felt left out because she wasn’t living in the same house. And Vegas was definitely to be near her parents. All went well in Vegas until the homes were built and everyone saw exactly where he was spending all his time. In Vegas the homes were in all the wives individual names, except Meri’s some have said Sobyn’s? He wanted to get control of all the money and no longer wanted to deal with everyone knowing where he was. Him and Sobyn decided to move to Flagstaff either Dayton applied to college there or him and Sobyn told him to apply there. He then got control over all the money, which he believes is his and Sobyn’s. Covid was the perfect excuse for him not to show up any more at their homes. They expected the others to continue on “staying sweet” and handing over all the money from TLC, along with probably some of their from the MLM. Meri said clearly in the last season she was still giving to the family fund. The snake a few times had mentioned that Meri build, so she could pay the huge expense of bringing infrastructure to property.
I have never once watched an episode of Sister Wives in my life but you are so good at explaining and holding my attention that I watched the entire video :)
personally i enjoy watching reactions to cody's messy life by youtubers who are ex-flds. there are so many offshots of mormon church that still practice polygamy and it always results in people marrying their own relatives 🤢 young men get kicked out and shunned while men who have either better "lineage" or did the leader a favor get to marry young women when they are on their 4th marriage already 🤢
So sad 😢. Weird how they get polygamy from the Bible. Plural marriage was a very old practice and did not continue for a reason. But I also don’t understand the whole LDS thing anyhow. Idk. And no offense meant, I just don’t understand. 🤷♀️
@76dthomas LDS doesn't follow the Bible. Joseph Smith claimed the Bible was corrupted and he had a "better way" through direct revelation with an angel.
The two door Lexus really shows his pure narcissm. He didn't have this large family for any other reason than collecting wives and children like pokemon cards for his own narcisstic desires and ego. They are his possesions, not his family to love. Except Robin of course.
I think it would be so great if the intro video showed the 3 exwives wedding rings not only falling off but melting as well 😂😂 Since thats what he did to the wedding ring that Meri gave him back in the day! Its only fitting after everything we've learned recently 😂😂
I hope there are no more sister wives after this. I do wish Christine & Janell had their own show though. I don’t want to see kodys hairline recede any more😂😂😂😂😂
I would want another sister wife because at this point only Robin would be affected and now she could see how it feels when someone younger steps in and gets all the preferential treatment.
To be fair, polygamy isn’t inherently bad, cult polygamy is. Being told it’s a woman’s duty to please her husband and have tons of children is bad. Having more children then you can handle is bad. Having favorites in family is bad. Being trapped with nowhere to go is bad. Using polygamy as an excuse to “shop around” is bad. A few consenting adults with open communication who care about each others feelings are fine.
I would push back on this simply to say bigamy would be safer. Legal protections for wives, husbands, partners, and children in all of this would be necessary for me to agree with you totally! Besides that, great point 👍
I agree. I think polygamy *can* work in the sense of polyamory. Yes, we need more legal protection for the people in the relationship and it all needs to be done in moderation. Poly relationships should have, first and foremost, open communication and consent. When it's just a person gathering a harem of spouses (usually one man and many women), no input wanted from the existing partners before bringing in another, that's when it really gets problematic.
I’m a subscriber to your channel, and had never heard about this family. I’m glad to hear that the 3 wives have escaped and the story has a somewhat happy ending, despite the almost two decades of pain. Hopefully it can help convince other viewers considering polygamy and MLMs to turn away from those things. I hadn’t planned on watching the whole video at once, as it was a long one and I had a series I wanted to watch that I’ve been looking forward to, but now that I’ve started watching I can’t stop. I’m over half an hour in and plan on carrying on the whole way through. You’ve kept me riveted with their story! And I’m glad that I’m learning it from you instead of exploitative TLC. Great video.
Enjoyed listening to your to show. Happy to you talked about the MLA’s and how predatory they are. Wish the OG3 would participate in legitimate ventures that didn’t prey on the vulnerable. Looking forward to checking out other discussions on your channel.
You would think, with the platform they have, rather than go into MLMs, which clearly victimize people, they would sell their own products directly to their fanbase. MVP!
They tried with the sister wives closet business. But they just ended up making jewelry pieces that were personal to them selves only. And there for, not very marketable to anyone whom wasn't a diehard fan.
If you rewatch the episode about surgery, Christine had said she’d had to delay until they got insurance, then explained to Kody that he was responsible for $65,000 of the surgery and he agreed to pay it and signed the forms asking her to remain 6 feet away. He did work extra trade shows to help.
Look at Kody before Robyn and look at Kody now and tell me she has not had a toxic influence in him. He, for sure, is no prize but he would be so much better off had he never met her.
Hi! I’ve never seen your channel before. I’m very impressed! This is the best summary of the Sister Wives episodes that I have seen! You did a great job with this! I like the way you brought in details that fans would not know just by watching the show. I also like the way you tied it all together highlighting important points and included the interviews at the end. 👍 🍿 😄 👏
This is the first video about Sister Wives I've seen that someone finally just straight up says it, says the same thing I do, finally points out the irony of Sister Wives starting because they wanted to show "Polygamy is good!" only to end up showing the world even just some of the reasons that it is very unhealthy and toxic.
When we lived in the US (hubby is a citizen) we were poor and uninsured. He had a stroke and had surgery to unclog one of his carotid arteries. Had scans and tests, of course, and only spent about 3 days in hospital. Our bill was around 100K$. Before he got national health insurance in my country, where we live today, he was hospitalized from the ER for a day, including catheterization because of his heart. 27 hours in total, procedure and admission to the cardiac ICU ended up costing us the equivalent of 5.5K$. So high 6 figures for weeks of hospitalization would not surprise me.
The brown family acted like if the state of Utah wanted to charge Cody with ANYTHING moving to a different state was going to stop that. They wanted to charge Cody with some thing then they would have gotten on a plane or gotten in a car and driving down to Las Vegas and arrested Cody and brought him back to Utah 😂😂
You're welcome! :) This one really took me a while to watch. I had to watch in segments because, well, fucking shit like this sickens me. It truly does. This religion screams brainwashing women and girls and that does not fucking fly with me! I'm extremely protective of women and girls. It's always how I've been, and I know that it's because I don't want them to go through the same thing I've gone through in my life with males. It's not right. Nothing is ever right with religions that abuse children! Anyway, I'll spare you from my rant. Happy New Year's...eve. Oh! Tomorrow, January 1, 2024, will be my 1,096th day or 3 years of sobriety from alcohol. This is the longest I've been sober since I was 15. 20 years of drinking definitely took a toll on me, but I am one of the lucky ones who made it, as well as my twin sister. I'm so proud of her. She's my baby sister, even if it's only by 2 minutes and I'm so happy for her. I'm forever grateful to have her in my life. Damn... I'm getting too emotional. Anyway ~~ I hope to see you back on here soon, love! I'm excited to know what you have planned for us next! Want to drop any hints for us? Hahhah ByyyYYYyyeeeeeeeeeeEEE ❤ You're beautiful! Never fucking forget it! 💕
I realize I wasn’t aware of the MLM connections because I watched the show, but I don’t follow them outside of that. I always ignored the clothing business references. Now that I’m watching TH-cam content creators about the family, I’ve learned so much that has caused me to stop watching the show since I can get caught up via TH-cam.
I’m so glad that Christine had the courage to pack up and leave, with her children, yes her children. How hard was it to give a child you sired , a cup of water, a cup of milk, a cup of orange juice, a cup of soda? Being a father, how could you stop being a father. I’m also happy Janelle and Meri followed Christine’s lead. All three of these educated women were the bread winners, they were the money makers, they went to work since Kody wouldn’t, he didn’t want to be away from Robin to long. These beautiful women Christine, Janelle, Meri, used their education to make money to give to Kody so he could use, to buy a wife and to portrayed what a great husband to one he was. I’m glad they came to their senses. ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! I SO appreciate it! I will be back very soon with a new video, I hope everyone has a great start to 2024!

0:56 enjoy ur tickets to torture someone 2 sick to live?? U ALL ARE SICK 😫..I WILL HOLD MH PEACE CHOOSE LOVE OVER HATE AND SEE U ON THE OTHER SIDE ..
Great job on this video! Thank you for going into detail all the facts about Ysabelle's scoliosis and how severe her condition had been. My daughter has severe scoliosis and wanted the same tether surgery as Ysabelle. Tether surgery is NOT covered by insurance and it isn't considered a medically necessary surgery(complete nonsense i.m.o). Many scoliosis groups tell you a step by step process from GoFundMe to contacting your local news stations and different crowd sourcing. Sometimes hospitals like Shriners Children's will cover the cost but only in younger children who haven't stopped growing, this is why my kid isn't able to get the procedure. The tether recovery from start to finish is 3-4mo's vs la spinal fusion like what I suspect your girlfriend went through was probably a entire year recovery process. I don't agree with not having insurance for the kids but in Ysabelle's case insurance doesn't cover the less invasive surgery.
Thank you for keeping me entertained
Thank you for including all your references. So professional!
That catfishing was the best thing that ever happened to Kody !!! Then he could throw his hands up and say ,”see Meri is a bad wife , she doesn’t love me , she cheated on me !” Knowing full well she was lonely because HE hadn’t been a husband to her in years ! He left her a long time ago . Now he has an excuse to put all the blame on Meri . We see you Kody . You’re despicable !!!!
Especially since the catfish was a friend and conspirator of Robyn’s!
100%!!!
@@kimmy3469
@@kimmy3469do you have a source for that?
He's just another man-child, the likes of Big Ed and other narcissists who have been given a platform.
I got so heated when Kody said he couldn't go to his daughters surgery because no man can be away from his family for that long.
My oldest had surgery two weeks ago and the only reason why my husband wasn't with us (and the only good reason in my opinion) was because my husband is underway (out to sea he's in the navy). My husband felt guilty that he couldn't be there for our child and he would have had he not been in the ocean.
Thank you for his/your service to this country. 🇺🇸 I hope your daughter is now well. 🙏
God Bless Your Husband and family. What a great dad❤❤❤❤Please thank him for his service,Praying for you daughter❤❤❤❤❤
That, or in the hospital himself.
Robbem is a POS, too. If my husband's daughter from a previous relationship needed a surgery like that, I would have kicked his sorry arse all the way to the plane!
great video ❤❤❤❤
IMO, Kody didn't want to show up for the surgery bc he did not want to discuss the bill with anyone, not her doctor, or the health care providers, or Christine. That way, the bill only went to Christine. He never paid one penny of that bill.
So the only one who never held a job has a nanny, and the one who was raising and homeschooling all the pre-existing children was "working overnight". Wow.
Krody then couldn't be bothered to tuck children in bed - it was put on a 10 year old to do! 10 year old in a house full of children prob all alone, WOW what neglect
And he didn't sell the mcmansion to cover his kids' medical bills. Appalling to let your kids suffer and leave your wives stuck with bills like that.
Make it make sense.
But all the sacrifices Kody had to make to love her! Wasted!
They ALL needed a nanny. Ain't nothing like being a stay at ho.e mom. I haven't had a job in over a decade. I'm so ready to end myself. This shit is NOT for the faint of heart.
When Kody divorced his wives, he thought he could also divorce his kids. That is what makes him the biggest failure or a father.
There are way too many man like Kody who abandon their kids the minute they no longer have access to their moms bodies.
Which is wild to think about because my uncle is almost 90% sure one of his sons isn't *his* son, and he still pays child support because 'he doesn't have anyone else'. @beewest5704
Your uncle is a far better man than Kody. @@Karosheus
Failure as a human
@@Karosheus😢 good man tho
I remember the episode when Kody and Robyn announced that she was pregnant with Solomon, and none of the older kids were happy about it. Now we know why.
its especially sad when the older kids talk about their upbringing when pre TLC the family struggled financially to take care of everyone. robyn comes into the family and almost immediately gets pregnant and never gets a job
@graceperez8759:
Christine worked while pregnant, Robyn could have done the same till a few weeks before giving birth.
But Kody seemed to think his first three wives were shingle mares, doing all the work and earning money, and Robyn was a dressage horse.
Even the fact they named the child solomon was telling
My biggest pet peeve (besides Robyn being such a manipulative liar) is that Kody used God and Jesus as a tool to cheat, control, abuse, neglect, covet, and scam money. I don’t see one flicker of God in any of KBs character. Having run into Robyn several times, she is also void of any humility, humbleness, class, education, and is anything but kind.
I agree! He doesn't act like a God fearing person and never even speaks of God. He's just a glorified baby daddy. So ghetto.
Fully agree, there is nothing about their behaviour that reads as good people. Could you share how you found interacting with Robyn? How did she came across and how did she behave towards the people around her?
1000000%agree
i think the daughter Maddison has more God than all of them, since she follows actual Christianity that doesn't allow this monstrosity of polgyamy
Jody has always been a pos. I don't understand how people didn't realize it from the very first episode. Hell I was a teen and caught that from day one. Robin is just as bad if not worse. So happy everyone got away from them.
The destruction was Kody's narcissism. He needed the high of the ego boost. He no longer got that from the little kids looking up to him or the wives praising him for being an involved father. Robyn was giving it to him by treating him as her best customer, as she put it. He was jealous when he saw all of his wives drool over the Darger husband, who has his crap much more together than chaotic Kody. And the Dargers advocated for one house. That's when Kody pushed one house so he could be the king and have his wives admire him as much as they admired Darger. But they didn't go for it and it was a massive narc injury. And he told them they could leave but in his mind, they were supposed to leave by saying, "it's not you; it's me" and spare his ego. Instead, they called him out for being a crappy father. And he responded by showing the world that he's an overall crappy person. Because his narcissism can't take that public rejection.
💯💯💯💯
Basically
He and his hair look so foolish, he is hard to watch
Exactly.....The whole idea of polygamy has always made the made this man the 🤴🏼 king and all of his wives & children his royal subjects
I don't know how you can see a non working wife with a nanny and another recalling the parentializing of their 10 y/o, but come to the conclusion that success and fame is the cause the break up. No. It's Robyn and Kody that tore this family apart.
They also had too many children to properly care for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's polygamy in general that is the issue. A man jjst lording over a family meant to serve his whims and needs, not a healthy functional family from the very concept of multiple wives
@hospitable_ghost:
I do think Janelle and Christine properly cared for their children, they supported each other and raised their children together. But Kodx seemed to have barely spend time with his children.
Could you imagine having this many children at 1 time????
@CarolLadyCan you blame her for forgetting their ages.....I can't believe she remembers all of their names.
kody is such a toddler i always find myself laughing when he throws one of his tantrums😂
Am glad you took out time to comment I wanna have a discussion with you Above🤦♂️🛐🤷♀️,,..,
He makes for great television though!!
WAYSTED!!!
Cody has always been a toddler......The reason it was covered up well was, because he got his way for 20+ years.
That one scene is literally the worst acting I've ever seen, not only on a reality show. That's almost impressive.
Seeing Kody's house of cards just fall apart has been satisfying. He's the kind of guy who _needs_ to be revered and respected. He cares so much about appearances and controlling the narrative. But when you're on TV for years and years, your mask _will_ slip. He was already kind of disliked at the beginning, but with time he became the perfect example of a narcissist trying and failing to keep everyone under his control, and how unstable and immature they can be when they aren't at the top anymore.
100% of polygamy is really about avg/ in most cases below avg & extremely old 🤴🏼 men appear to be monarchs while their wives and many children continue to be their many subjects.
The first sentence of this comment made me laugh out loud, for all the right reasons. Thank you.
I.e. the perfect male Mormon
Codys hair has caused the collapse of his family. The conditioner, the oils, the hair bands, and other hair products. Those fu*king curls. I mean it's crazy that his ridiculous hair choice and the lengths he would go to maintain it made the family collapse because it wasn't about love anymore it was about his hair curls
😅😅😅😅
🤣🤣🤣 greased up guy. Hes so gross.
Do you suppose all that product has seeped into his tiny brain?
😂😂😂 Sure, it all would've been fine if he just shaved his head instead. Though... You do kinda have a point as it would take even more time from his already busy schedule. It would still have been destined to fail either way but, yeah, that couldn't have helped. Unless the wives *really* loved his curls? Haha, who knows?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For years Meri would do anything for Kody just to win his favor. Anything !
But nothing Meri did was good enough for Kody. He didn't care.
Kody has never cared about anyone but himself.
She even brought robin to him, to try and please him
Don't you think that having 4 wives is an indication/red flag that he doesn't care about anyone but himself?
If you loved a woman, you surely wouldn't put them through having too share their lives and husband etc?
typical narc, he's the appearance/ego kind of narc too
@@eyesopen66not on its own, no. I know quite a few people in polyamory and they function in multiple relationships very well. There’s an idea that everyone wants monogamy, but it’s not true. However, what polygamy is when it’s related to a patriarchal religion does us totally different. So while on its own I don’t think it automatically means he’s a selfish person, being connected to a patriarchal religion really ups those odds.
@@eyesopen66he blames Meri now saying she basically made him bring wives into the marriage but he was in the religion before him and Meri was married. He doesn't take accountability for anything that goes bad.
Poor Ysabel. Being saddled with a condition as painful as severe scoliosis that young is bad enough, but knowing that your parents can't immediately afford it because you don't have health insurance is horrible. Not to mention how it seems like Kody was trying to prolong her inevitable need for surgery for as long as possible so he wouldn't have to pay for it, even though he didn't fork over a cent. What an awful person.
Then when she did finally get her surgery Cody didn’t even bother to show up for his daughter
Seeing Kody and Robyn in a dining room the size of Janelle's last apartment in Flagstaff makes me realize just how spoiled Robyn was...it really sheds light on how differently they all lived compared to Robyn. I don't care about all the excuses they used to justify the purchase of that huge home....it was wrong and Robyn nor Kody should have ever even considered it.
It breaks my heart for Isabelle. She wanted her dad with her for a major surgery-which he didn’t even pay for or TRY to pay for-and he more or less told her she’s not as important as his “other” family. That poor girl 💔
I recall Robyn griping about the family moving a lot. But it seems like the moves were for her. Robyn can not ever speak the truth. She is an habitual liar.
And she likes to look like she is so taken advantage of by the other wives. Her eye brows are down and pinched in to prove she is a victim and is suffering. Such a manipulator!
She's a leech and she never worked for anything in life. She has no respect for her fellow sister wives. I really don't like her.
Robyn is definitely the gambler that has the best poker face in the family and will never fully tell the truth.
Well her own siblings don't like or trust her. They believe robyn came into the marriage because her step dad paid her credit card debts.
I am beyond tired of Kody playing the poor victim. He is nothing but a dramatic man-child who needs to grow up and take responsibility for his children, if nothing else. I feel the worst for all his kids, they are the true victims.
Yup. And today the tragedy happened with the loss of Garrison. It’s because of the narcissistic abuse of Kody and Kody and Robyn destroying the family.
Amen!!!! Well said
isnt it hypocritical to put all the blame on Kody when the fact is theres 5 other adults who takes part, justifies and enables his actions?
@@dendrienhe’s responsible for HIS actions . he’s a grown ass man. no one else controls him. every decision he makes, he decides to

The destruction was the inequality, thats about it. The newest wife became the favourite, got most of the money that the original wives were earning, (she on the other hand refused to get a job). Then she got the biggest house, her kids with her first husband got preferential treatment, then of course the two kids she had with Kod got preferential treatment once they came along.
Kod basically decided he wanted to be monogamous with her, but keep the three original wives as packhorses providing Kod and Robber (Robyn) with cash. He didnt want to have sex with the three original wives (probably a blessing), he didn't want to spend time with them but more importantly, he lost total interest in the non Robber children.
Thats about it.
Polygamy as a rule is nonsense, it was invented by men, for men as an excuse to legitimately comit infidelity. One man cannot financially, emotionally and physically take care of a herd of kids, its a ridiculous way of life that people should be ashamed of.
Spot on!
Real
This!
💯
Yep. It just makes women do all the work while the man can leave as he pleases
It seems to me, that the reason Kody, "loves" Robyn so much, is because she is the best at "loving" him.
This man seems to be completely enamored with himself, and after over a decade of women, that aren't so smitten with him, anymore, young Robyn comes in , and makes him feel special, and wanted again. I think he just loves how she makes him feel.
I think that Meri thought that her great sacrifice of her legal marriage to Kody was like an insurance policy that would make her position of “First Wife” more permanent and secure. She made herself completely vulnerable. And, her reward for trusting Kody and Robin…really all of the adults, would be a real respect and security.
Kody dropped her like a hot potato, just as soon as she dissolved their legal marriage. He really is despicable. And, Robyn is just as horrible. She manipulated Meri into feeling protective of her. Robyn ran with the power, the second Meri released her legal claims on the family.
Am glad you took out time to comment I wanna have a discussion with you Above🤦♂️🛐🤷♀️,,..,
Merit was a pp, pleaser bamboozled by a 2 narcs.
Agree. I feel like the legal marriage to Kody was the only thing meri had over her sister wives. It was the only thing that put her above the other wives, especially since meri couldn't give Kody multiple kids as the other wives did. So when she gave up her legal marriage, it left her completely vulnerable, like she gave up her super power.
Kody's narcissism is THE cause. The OG3 are way better off without him!
Meri didn't all of a sudden find Robyn.. Robyn sought out the Brown family.. She knew they were getting ready to have their own show because her Ex husband Preston is Christine's cousin!! 🙄🤦🏻♀️ She knew exactly what she was doing.. All she saw was 💲💲💲
As much as I dislike Robyn, I do wish we’d stop repeating rumours as actual fact. There’s a good chance she knew, but it’s not confirmed fact.
@@jaybee4118 It is a fact though.
woww I didn’t know that. how on brand of her
Although, several family members of her ex, and her own family, have confirmed this!
You are 100% correct! I watched this show from the first episode, but stopped at season 13 because I found Kody to be emotionally abusive to his first 3 wives. I grew to despise him and Robyn. Their behavior was horrible and manipulative. I started watching again in season 17 because I had heard that Christine had left Kody. I loved seeing that season, and then went back to stream seasons 13,14,15 and 16, with the knowledge that Christine fought back and left. Season 18 was even better because now Kody and Robyn and getting what they deserve. I'm not surprised that rating have improved now that Kody and Robyn and having to face the ramifications of how they treat people.
Poor Garrison, you deserved so much better. RIP.

Finally hearing someone say *scoliosis is very painful* after having a specialist tell my mom I was faking the pain because it was just how my spine grew is so fucking validating. Thank you.
I'm so very sorry. I hope you've been able to find some relief. Scoliosis is so painful! I wasn't diagnosed until I was an adult. It can be so debilitating and the pain is maddening. My ex-husband doubted me. It sucks when you are struggling and don't have the support you need. I hope you and your mom told that guy to F off! and found a better doctor!
P.S. I told that guy to F off and now enjoy not having my day ruined by 9 a.m. 😂
Had a friend that had she was in pain alot. So sorry. I hope you get better.
I'm so sorry
Meri divorcing Kody was to me the most disturbing. She actually had to go see a lawyer alone. Bc Kody can’t ask for a divorce. I wish she would have said NO…You go do it Kody or forget it! I wonder if he were so desperate, he would have.?
She had no choice
why can't Kody ask for a divorce? is it because he is a useless moron, or is there some religious reason?
I agree. Going to the lawyer alone, ending all those years of marriage. It read to me like Kody was already checked out and deep in it with Robyn. I do remember Janelle and Christine comforting Meri and Kody not giving a flying flip about Meri's feelings on the matter. Saying it was just a formality and thus not that impactful in their relationship.
Interesting how Meri gave up her legal marriage so Kody could marry and adopt Robyn's children. Hmmm was that calculated to push Meri out. Meri, Christine and Janelle .... "wives" put aside for the new one.
Meri is a desperate idiot.
Robyn’s best friend Kendra said that the catfish was a real man. I think Robyn and Kendra were part of the catfish. They knew about it and were totally in on it
I think them & the TLC producers were either the colprates/ it was a man that she had decided to leave Cody for & somehow it either didn't workout or she was begged to stay in the family to keep up appearances
Where did she say that 🫣
Me and my mom use to watch this show religiously. And we use to talk about how we didn't believe that they were being totally truthful about how their family dynamics worked. We talked about how there was probably favoritism and as we watched we were proven right.
I can’t believe ANYONE watched this show and thought “aww this is such an amazing and cute family” this is the LITERAL definition of a cult. It’s disgusting
Because people still think the role of a male is to drop in and help pay the bills and MAYBE help with the kids; sometimes.
My husband tried to give Tom Cruise koodos for still paying for his estranged daughters bills since he and mom divorced when the kid was 12. I reminded him that through 18, he was legally required to pay half that girls bills. And he's got the money that SEVERAL college educations should be paid by that man every year.
Husband said he wouldn't pay bills of he couldn't his kid. I had to again, remind him, that in America at 12 years old a kid can decide contact and if they have to go to daddy on the weekends daddy has custody.
A man withdrawals support from his child because he doesn't get to play/see/live/talk to his kid is fucking NASTY. But our society doesn't call that shit out. The attitude is EXPECTED.
The amount of leeway given to males with eggshell egos while our society continues to worship an absentee felon is sad.
@@Loralanthalas 👏🏽 yes, girl! Couldn’t have said it better myself. That is so true. And that is very upsetting! I’m sorry you’ve gotta go through that. I hope you’re doing well 💜

I feel you in a way. There is always gonna be jealously. I was just waiting for them to express the truth. Now, it's Not a cult in any way, by definition, but I do think they set themselves up for lack of love.
"We're grown adults: we don't need a father figure anymore." This is heartbreaking.
It'even sadder because of what happened...
It's just the fact he's such a good dad to Robyn's kids....what they NEVER got. It broke the kids hearts and what mother is not going to stand up for their children. That's the main reason the OGs gave up on the marriages.
@@moondarkness What happened?!! Sincerely-
@@krmccarrell Garrison took his own life 6 months ago, so sad 😭😭
I don’t understand how TLC can have these people have a show and not offer health insurance.
It's wild. Truly was born on the show and now she's like 14?
TLC is a predatory channel so it’s not surprising.
First thing i would have done is take the money and make sure my kids had health insurance
@@cynthialinn1120that’s why I thought it was crazy they had a go fund me for Ysabel
Cause it’s about making money, they couldn’t give a crap about that family. If the worse happens it’s great content.
This is the most comprehensive summary of this twisted up family I’ve ever watched. I’ve only watched Sister Wives off and on throughout the years but from the very first season when he was “courting” Robin while poor Christine was pregnant I could only see this headed in one direction. (I think most people probably saw this ending the same way.) I am just surprised it took this long. I guess that big paycheck from the TV show was enough to “keep them together.”
Thank you so much. It really breaks down every aspect of the evolution of the family’s implosion. I feel terrible for the children. Especially the oldest boys. With no same-sex parent consistently in the household they had to be the “man” of the house instead of just getting to be kids like they should have.
Hopefully they learned how NOT to be a husband or father from their dad and they will be excellent family men in their own right.
RIP Garrison…
Thank you for covering the scoliosis surgery. I'm 55. I went undiagnosed until age 35. At this point I had other issues that rendered surgery impossible for me. I now have a curve of 50% and deal with pain on a daily basis others cannot imagine.
Can you hang out in an inversion table?
Joining a family with 13 children where all of the adults work, with your own 3 children, and never working, yet always having a nanny is nasty work.
I’m sorry - seeing him yell “ALL THE SACRIFICES IVE MADE… WASTED!!” Made me laugh so hard … like sir… 😭😭😭
You can literally see the life force being sucked out of Sobbin Robin's face from the very first episode to the present. The other sister wives were going the same route but now to see the life back in their eyes is fantastic. Definitely not a fan of their MLM crap but honestly, they didn't really have many options for a living income at this point. I hope they wake up soon and stop ripping people off.
They had options. This was easier to do.
Get an education and a job like everyone else.

@@katiewellehan her commentary is always A+ 😅 so good
Amazing and so fun ❤❤
That Christine end of season 1 clip: turns out….Robyn wasn’t “absolutely amazing” 😮😂
When Christine gets super enthusiastic about something I get nervous now because I’m worried she does it to try and convince herself. Hence my worry about this marriage. I’m probably wrong… but I’m still nervous for her…
A very important component in their success in MLM’s is that for 15 seasons these women were believed to be selfless. People trust them.
Blimey, christine worked hard, to be the main parent and home schooler to that many children is a hell of a job!!
This was very well done. I knew MLM‘s were bad. I had friends who lost lots of money with Luluroe. I guess because I was such a fan of the show and I want Christine, Janelle, and Meri to be happy and successful, I just ignored the obvious.
Thank you for watching!
There was no legal drama surrounding the move to Las Vegas. The state of Utah rarely prosecutes polygamy. The abuses have to be really egregious for it to get to that point, and then it's more likely to have more to do with child abuse or neglect or underage "marriages".
Paedon addressed that in the infamous interview. Basically, the state said they won't prosecute as long as the family just goes about their lives, but it will if they flaunt the polygamy with a TV show. So Kody had to decide whether to stay put and but be prosecuted or leave and keep his attention grab and paycheck.
They had to move because they were being investigated for tax evasion
@@BarronVonSchnoot Tax evasion is a federal crime. If that was the issue it wouldn’t have mattered I’d they moved to a different state.
@@DK-tq3fy I guess you’ve never heard of state taxes
@@confidential5897yes, I’d have moved as well.
“Expensive but ugly” Jewelry and art 😂😂😂 ☠️
Large families usually have parentified older children
Sadly true.
I just have to say, I remember being a child (ok apparently around 16 but still young lol) watching Meri and Kody’s divorce and I never once had the impression that Meri offered divorce as an option so that he could marry Robyn and adopt her kids. I always saw it as Kody and Robyn being the ones to instigate that idea and the three of them being like well it’s just paperwork it doesn’t mean that anything is going to change, but alas, many things changed. Robyn was clearly the favorite wife, new and shiny, and it was easy to see how Kody started pushing away from the other wives when Robyn came into the picture. I didn’t watch the show religiously so I didn’t know the full extent of what he was doing for her, like the moves to Vegas and Arizona (I didn’t even know they moved to Arizona actually)
Kody is a creep and I don’t understand what any of these women saw in him. His behavior is childish and disgusting.
As poligamy should remain illegal
He was probably very charismatic for a long time which allowed him to have all of that control and power. He couldn’t keep up that front forever, he got lazy and that’s why the wives finally saw him for who he actually was.
They were raised in the same environment (their parents were in the same environment) and in case you didn't notice they must have all been extremely young. Young people are often easier to manipulate
Just because they are not married doesn't mean Kody doesn't have legal obligation ! They could draw child support for the younger children if they wanted to go through the legal process.......I'm sure Kody is quietly worried about that..........
If the children are 18 plus does he pay support
@@diane6920 My father was ordered to pay support until age 21 as long as we were in college. (He didn't actually do it, but that's another story.)
With all his children, they would prolly get 20 a month
He never needed to adopt the children it was his way to divorce Meri. He is not on all the children's birth certificate they were just named Brown, Robyn's children could have taken the Brown name without the adoption. He and Robyn kept Meri around because of the money she was bring in. The wives were working to keep Robyn and her children as Robyn never worked. Robyn and Kody will not last unless Kody can keep her in the big house and the luxury she thinks she is entitled too.
Is it possible for him to find other wives?
@@maluparisi8775 Is there anyone who would want to be married to him, having seen his life and the way he treats his wives over the past decade? Maybe there’s someone, but he’s shown that he’d rather been monogamous.
I remember at the time it happened Robyn acted as if Kody did not adopt her kids her ex could take them away.
As someone whose has scoliosis and had to have the surgery at 16 I thankfully had a smooth surgery and smooth recovery and I’m glad I got it younger it’s still a rough surgery and recovery but so worth it in terms of pain relief and avoidance of future complications.
And the only reason we could afford for me to have the surgery when I did was because my dad was in the military and I got to be under tricare
Update: Cody and Janelle’s son Garrison has died aged 25. Presumably by suicide. RIP.
So sad.
And Kody and Robyn are directly responsible.
Not only that, it's rumored that his brother Gabe found his body...poor baby
Can you even imagine...
how Kody treats his son Garrison 8:58, he's rushing off to Robyn so Garrison has to force a hug on him as he is walking away from him. FATHER OF THE F@#$%#! YEAR!
Good eye. That's just tragic.
😢
It broke the boys heart. Begging for love from his father. So so sad. 😟

When Robin explained to the children why they aren't doing Christmas with the rest of the family, she could have explained that everyone has other plans and it's just a bad time due to Covid etc- instead she blamed everyone else ( but in a "nice" way) SMH
If I was in labor and my husband thought it was fine to go on a date and then come through to see our baby born at the end.... i would have a fcking aneurysm I'd be so pissed. HE'D need the hospital room more than me.
The fact that the kids all see Christine as a mother figure tells you all you need to know about her. She’s obviously a good person
Putting ANYTHING on reality tv is a sure way to destroy anything
You’re not wrong, but then again if the foundation is weak to begin with, then nothing would have kept together. I think it all would have fallen apart anyways once the kids moved out.
Kody put the OG3 down and talked negatively about them and their children on national tv. He didn’t think any of them would see it? He and Robyn deserve all the negative attention that they are getting. I hope Meri and Janelle are able to sort through the financial nightmare and get their money back.
RIP to Garrison. Kody and Robyn are directly responsible
I used to watch sister wives when I was 13. I’m now 23 and started binge watching the show again, a few weeks ago. I‘m absolutely shocked, how Cody changed over the years. Your video is absolute gold!! I enjoyed watching it. Thank you. :) (I’m German, my English is probably a little bit shitty sorry 😅)
It must have been very shocking to come back to the show! Thank you so much for watching & the kind words 💜
Your English is amazing!
Robin always had a nanny!!! What a luxury lifestyle she has walked into.😮
Girl… I just want to acknowledge what Mrs. Robyn has achieved. Like picture it, having no career, a high amount of debt and mid tier looks yet being the favorite wife, with the biggest house, a Nanny, the most expensive jewelry and the most attention. I see you girl, your mind is powerful sis.
Cracking up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Totally agree with everything you (& your guests) said about the MLMs. Fan base should absolutely be more critical of the MLM (ie pyramid scheme) businesses than they currently are.
I have noticed a lot of TH-camrs who made thousands upon thousands from MLMs and i always thought that was so unfair bc they had this following who blindly followed them into thinking they were going into “business” with them or had something to do with them. It’s so tacky and should be illegal.
One thing i find really odd is they kids are always referred to as the mom's kids. Kody even refers to them that way as if he's not related to them
You're right. Interesting.
Kodys the common denominator of why this family failed but Robyn’s highly manipulative ways was a big part of the down fall too.
Your videos are a complete treat! I grew up in a cult in the UK, I escaped at 16 but am not allowed contact with my family and am now 49.
I love your delivery, presentation, narration and research. Thank you so much.
I’m so sorry to hear what a difficult time you had growing up & that you lost contact with your family. Sending you lots of hugs! Thank you so much for watching & the kind words about the content, I really appreciate it! 😘💜
I feel like consciously or not, Kody wanted them to leave the second he married Robin. Because how on earth could a man think any woman would stay with him, literally abusing and neglecting them daily
Great video! Fun facts: the Apostolic United Brethren is the sect the Brown family belongs to. The United Brethren were an American Christian church of Germanic origin which dissolved and was partially absorbed into Methodism in the 1940s. My Grandmother was a UB. Very different group from the AUB.
MLMs are just how it is with the Mormon community. Like, you can't have friends or network in that religion without dodging hundreds of mlms.
Someone asked one of the kids, maybe Gwen, about the MLMs and she said that they MLMs are a reliable gig for polygamists whereas a lot of traditional companies don't want to work with someone who is openly breaking a law, even if it's not routinely enforced.
🎯 Every mainstream Mormons do it. At least everyone I know. And they live in Minnesota and New York. Not even Utah.
Interesting fact. Over 90 percent of MLM's have corporate headquarters in Utah.
What ruined the family? I’d say 100% Robyn. The money and fame came from the show, but how the money was spent showed the disparity in the relationships. He favored R and showed it by using the money coming in all on her and her kids. Seeing how he favored her led to their demise. Before then it was all fair, with her the difference was felt and seen
I disagree, I would say that Cody was always a narcissist - he had his attention needs fueled in the earlier days and as more and more moved out of his toxic sphere his need for fuel was being starved. There are always red flags and they were so blatant. Cody is not an intelligent man. Yes, Robyn was pivotal in the changing of the dynamics and I suspect highly narcissistic herself but Cody himself was the found of this broken unit. Yes golden children and black sheep - this is how the title should have changed over time.
Never trust cults. There are always toxic personality disorders involved.
Kody first most blame
Sobby second manipulating things to get her way and control over Kody was her ticket. Why she catered to him and was in his ear. Why she alienated the family over time and got Meri kicked out of top position to the point she ended up all the way out. Catfish looking like a set up from Sobby to end Kody caring about meri. We see how Sobby pretends to care and say one thing but when with Kody off camera it’s another story. Sometimes on camera she does it but she comes up with stupid I’m scared reasons to make sure Kody doesn’t reconnect. Why she wanted to wedge herself into all the other wives being able to speak with Kody because she “speaks Kody”.
Imma say it was a joint effort with Robin and Kody.
1:24:13 I don’t think Robyn would have joined the family if they did not have the TLC show.
People must just watch this show for the drama, or nostalgia now. Theres no way anyone thinks these are good people anymore...im surprised but happy to see someone talking about the obvious MLM's many of them are involved with.
Anyway, I feel so bad for the children. Especially the ones that grew up on tv with no prior sense of a "normal" childhood. Kody is such a textbook narcissist he cant even hide it for a minute.
Very interesting about them using Dayton’s medical bills as a bargaining chip! 😮
That is so disgusting and gross. The poor man is now dying, from what I understand. Dirty move.
@@Wanderlusting0711What poor man is dying?
Robyn's first 3 kids Dad.

How many comments are you going to leave on one video
I love that we get to see an actual person talking… You’re very pretty.
Awww you’re so sweet! Thanks so much for watching! 💜
Excellent job!
I feel the actual move to Vegas was because Sobyn felt left out because she wasn’t living in the same house. And Vegas was definitely to be near her parents. All went well in Vegas until the homes were built and everyone saw exactly where he was spending all his time. In Vegas the homes were in all the wives individual names, except Meri’s some have said Sobyn’s? He wanted to get control of all the money and no longer wanted to deal with everyone knowing where he was. Him and Sobyn decided to move to Flagstaff either Dayton applied to college there or him and Sobyn told him to apply there. He then got control over all the money, which he believes is his and Sobyn’s. Covid was the perfect excuse for him not to show up any more at their homes. They expected the others to continue on “staying sweet” and handing over all the money from TLC, along with probably some of their from the MLM. Meri said clearly in the last season she was still giving to the family fund. The snake a few times had mentioned that Meri build, so she could pay the huge expense of bringing infrastructure to property.
I have never once watched an episode of Sister Wives in my life but you are so good at explaining and holding my attention that I watched the entire video :)
Kody and Christine being distant cousins is a crazy fact that I never knew about.
That guy is such a spoiled man child that he doesn't deserve anything that he has.
personally i enjoy watching reactions to cody's messy life by youtubers who are ex-flds. there are so many offshots of mormon church that still practice polygamy and it always results in people marrying their own relatives 🤢 young men get kicked out and shunned while men who have either better "lineage" or did the leader a favor get to marry young women when they are on their 4th marriage already 🤢
So sad 😢. Weird how they get polygamy from the Bible. Plural marriage was a very old practice and did not continue for a reason. But I also don’t understand the whole LDS thing anyhow. Idk. And no offense meant, I just don’t understand. 🤷♀️
@76dthomas LDS doesn't follow the Bible. Joseph Smith claimed the Bible was corrupted and he had a "better way" through direct revelation with an angel.
Your content is better and better, thanks for the long plays, this format is perfect for me ❤
Have a nice time and I hope you'll continue to grow!
Thank you so much lovely!
The two door Lexus really shows his pure narcissm. He didn't have this large family for any other reason than collecting wives and children like pokemon cards for his own narcisstic desires and ego. They are his possesions, not his family to love. Except Robin of course.
I'm so glad they mentioned the curl product because I was confused why he has a Jheri curl.
I think it would be so great if the intro video showed the 3 exwives wedding rings not only falling off but melting as well 😂😂 Since thats what he did to the wedding ring that Meri gave him back in the day! Its only fitting after everything we've learned recently 😂😂
I hope there are no more sister wives after this. I do wish Christine & Janell had their own show though. I don’t want to see kodys hairline recede any more😂😂😂😂😂
I would want another sister wife because at this point only Robin would be affected and now she could see how it feels when someone younger steps in and gets all the preferential treatment.
I hope there is another sister wife one that is younger prettier and shinier than Roko here.
I love it when multiple of my favorite creators collab! 🎉
To be fair, polygamy isn’t inherently bad, cult polygamy is. Being told it’s a woman’s duty to please her husband and have tons of children is bad. Having more children then you can handle is bad. Having favorites in family is bad. Being trapped with nowhere to go is bad. Using polygamy as an excuse to “shop around” is bad. A few consenting adults with open communication who care about each others feelings are fine.
I would push back on this simply to say bigamy would be safer. Legal protections for wives, husbands, partners, and children in all of this would be necessary for me to agree with you totally! Besides that, great point 👍
I agree. I think polygamy *can* work in the sense of polyamory. Yes, we need more legal protection for the people in the relationship and it all needs to be done in moderation. Poly relationships should have, first and foremost, open communication and consent.
When it's just a person gathering a harem of spouses (usually one man and many women), no input wanted from the existing partners before bringing in another, that's when it really gets problematic.
🤦🏼♀️
I’m a subscriber to your channel, and had never heard about this family. I’m glad to hear that the 3 wives have escaped and the story has a somewhat happy ending, despite the almost two decades of pain. Hopefully it can help convince other viewers considering polygamy and MLMs to turn away from those things.
I hadn’t planned on watching the whole video at once, as it was a long one and I had a series I wanted to watch that I’ve been looking forward to, but now that I’ve started watching I can’t stop. I’m over half an hour in and plan on carrying on the whole way through. You’ve kept me riveted with their story! And I’m glad that I’m learning it from you instead of exploitative TLC. Great video.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you are enjoying the video!
Enjoyed listening to your to show. Happy to you talked about the MLA’s and how predatory they are. Wish the OG3 would participate in legitimate ventures that didn’t prey on the vulnerable. Looking forward to checking out other discussions on your channel.
Thank you so much for watching Stacy!
You would think, with the platform they have, rather than go into MLMs, which clearly victimize people, they would sell their own products directly to their fanbase. MVP!
They tried with the sister wives closet business.
But they just ended up making jewelry pieces that were personal to them selves only. And there for, not very marketable to anyone whom wasn't a diehard fan.
If you rewatch the episode about surgery, Christine had said she’d had to delay until they got insurance, then explained to Kody that he was responsible for $65,000 of the surgery and he agreed to pay it and signed the forms asking her to remain 6 feet away. He did work extra trade shows to help.
Just recently found your channel. This is how it's done right, straight facts no fillers. Love it!!!!
Great video! Such an amazing recap of The Browns and their drama! Glad I found this! I’m loving your personality and perspective! Kudos!🎉❤
Look at Kody before Robyn and look at Kody now and tell me she has not had a toxic influence in him. He, for sure, is no prize but he would be so much better off had he never met her.
🎉y😮
Hi! I’ve never seen your channel before. I’m very impressed! This is the best summary of the Sister Wives episodes that I have seen! You did a great job with this! I like the way you brought in details that fans would not know just by watching the show. I also like the way you tied it all together highlighting important points and included the interviews at the end. 👍 🍿 😄 👏
Thank you so much for the lovely comment!
This is the first video about Sister Wives I've seen that someone finally just straight up says it, says the same thing I do, finally points out the irony of Sister Wives starting because they wanted to show "Polygamy is good!" only to end up showing the world even just some of the reasons that it is very unhealthy and toxic.
When we lived in the US (hubby is a citizen) we were poor and uninsured. He had a stroke and had surgery to unclog one of his carotid arteries. Had scans and tests, of course, and only spent about 3 days in hospital. Our bill was around 100K$.
Before he got national health insurance in my country, where we live today, he was hospitalized from the ER for a day, including catheterization because of his heart. 27 hours in total, procedure and admission to the cardiac ICU ended up costing us the equivalent of 5.5K$. So high 6 figures for weeks of hospitalization would not surprise me.
The brown family acted like if the state of Utah wanted to charge Cody with ANYTHING moving to a different state was going to stop that. They wanted to charge Cody with some thing then they would have gotten on a plane or gotten in a car and driving down to Las Vegas and arrested Cody and brought him back to Utah 😂😂
...not really. Moving states is a great way to escape smaller charges and crimes. When that fails, move countries.
We appreciate your hard work! I hope you and your family are having fun during the holidays 💜 Stay safe & Take care, love! ✌🏻🤟🏻💕
Thank you so much for the super thanks! Greatly appreciated! Thanks for watching!
You're welcome! :)
This one really took me a while to watch. I had to watch in segments because, well, fucking shit like this sickens me. It truly does. This religion screams brainwashing women and girls and that does not fucking fly with me! I'm extremely protective of women and girls. It's always how I've been, and I know that it's because I don't want them to go through the same thing I've gone through in my life with males. It's not right. Nothing is ever right with religions that abuse children! Anyway, I'll spare you from my rant. Happy New Year's...eve.
Oh!
Tomorrow, January 1, 2024, will be my 1,096th day or 3 years of sobriety from alcohol. This is the longest I've been sober since I was 15. 20 years of drinking definitely took a toll on me, but I am one of the lucky ones who made it, as well as my twin sister. I'm so proud of her. She's my baby sister, even if it's only by 2 minutes and I'm so happy for her. I'm forever grateful to have her in my life.
Damn... I'm getting too emotional.
Anyway ~~ I hope to see you back on here soon, love! I'm excited to know what you have planned for us next! Want to drop any hints for us?
Hahhah
ByyyYYYyyeeeeeeeeeeEEE

You're beautiful! Never fucking forget it! 💕
I realize I wasn’t aware of the MLM connections because I watched the show, but I don’t follow them outside of that. I always ignored the clothing business references. Now that I’m watching TH-cam content creators about the family, I’ve learned so much that has caused me to stop watching the show since I can get caught up via TH-cam.
The irony I have found is that I hate watching shows like this, but videos talking about these shows from different angles is absolutely my jam!
I’m so glad that Christine had the courage to pack up and leave, with her children, yes her children. How hard was it to give a child you sired , a cup of water, a cup of milk, a cup of orange juice, a cup of soda? Being a father, how could you stop being a father. I’m also happy Janelle and Meri followed Christine’s lead. All three of these educated women were the bread winners, they were the money makers, they went to work since Kody wouldn’t, he didn’t want to be away from Robin to long. These beautiful women Christine, Janelle, Meri, used their education to make money to give to Kody so he could use, to buy a wife and to portrayed what a great husband to one he was. I’m glad they came to their senses. ❤
