The four-part Sister Wives One-on-One kicked off on Sunday with host Sukanya “Suki” Krishnan rehashing the events that played out in Season 19 of the TLC series, and Kody Brown insisting (once again) that he is being guilted for loving his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown.
As fans of ‘Sister Wives’ know, Kody and Robyn’s road to monogamy began in 2021 when Christine Brown announced she was leaving the father of 18. The following year, Janelle Brown revealed that she and Kody had separated and in January 2023, Meri Brown confirmed that her nearly nonexistent marriage with Kody had ended as well.
While Kody has regularly taken part in some major revisionist history in the wake of his trio of divorces, he revealed during Sunday’s One-on-One that he’s had enough of being “guilted” by others for finding a “higher love” with his fourth and only remaining wife.
“ … I’ll tell you what, there’s a divine aspect about my relationship with Robyn and we have been b***h slapped for it, and I’m sick of it,” Kody told Suki, who struggled to get a word in edgewise amid Kody’s rant.
“ … Like, I love this woman, I want peace in this relationship, but I’m to the point where I’m walking around flipping two birds ‘cause I am so sick and tired of being guilted for loving Robyn,” he said.
Suki responded by accusing Kody of “contradicting” himself, referring to the fact that moments earlier, Kody claimed it was impossible to love people– spouses, children, friends or otherwise– in the same way; however, Kody disagreed with Suki’s accusation.
“How?! How did I [contradict myself],” he asked, to which Suki explained, “Because you said that you couldn’t love a person the same way [that you love another].”
“I was in sales all my life,” Kody replied. “There was always a better salesman … Am I supposed to go murder the better salesman because I’m so jealous that he’s getting all the deals? Let’s get real. This is bulls**t that just pisses me off, Suki.”
Despite Suki later acknowledging Kody and Robyn’s “deep love” for one another, Kody continued to insist that this “deep love” had nothing to do with three of his marriages ending.
“Wait, you cannot ever blame the fact that Robyn and I had a deep love on the way that these other relationships went,” he told Suki. “You can’t do that, not when you’re in polygamy … .”
Kody then attempted to explain the situation to Suki, claiming that Robyn was good at communicating with him, loving him and negotiating with him, while also being good at “respecting herself.”
“If another wife wasn’t in that space, they still had the opportunity to do it,” he added. “Each of these relationships had its own opportunity for success and failure, based upon the two people who are married.”
When asked about Kody’s claims, Janelle assured Suki that she does have respect for herself, while Christine insisted that her life used to be wrapped up in not only what the family needed and wanted, but also what Kody needed and wanted. As for whether or not she felt that Kody respected her during their marriage, Christine said she was unsure if Kody “would feel like he would need to.”
“I don’t know, maybe in some roles,” she added. “Maybe in some ways he did.”
Meanwhile, Kody told Suki that out of his three ex-wives, Christine was the spouse he respected the least.
“I think I actually had way more respect for Meri than I did for Janelle, and probably way more respect for Janelle and Meri than I did for Christine, to be fair,” he said.

When 3 out of the 4 women you are married to, decide to divorce you it is not just a coincidence. To coin an old breakup line “Cody, it’s not them, it’s you.”
If only someone would bitch slap him 🙏
As usual, Kody makes himself look even worse by trying to make himself look better. I guess the longer he lies, the more he feels he needs to stick to it.
He should have used the admission that he never loved the other wives as a turning point, but instead he tried to take it back and just further discredited himself.
You are not a victim, sir. I don’t remember anyone complaining about your love for Robyn, Kody. I recall three dedicated women and several children expressing how your preferences made them feel inadequate, unloved, and replaced by your love for her and her kids. You’ve actively encouraged and manifested the emotions of all your wives, and the children you are at odds with, yet the one who has stayed is the one you favored. So, what’s the issue? Did your true feelings get revealed to everyone?
The very fact that he decided to put his wives and children on a reality show proclaiming how great polygamy is shows how ignorant and selfish he is. It is so obvious that he is a complete nightmare to be around. Does he ever do anything wrong in his opinion? Hell no. The reasoning from his pea sized brain it everything that went wrong was due to Meri, Janelle, Christine and their children. Not St. Kody and St. Robyn. If in fact he fell head and heels in love with Robyn, he needed to sit Meri, Janelle and Christine down and be honest about it instead of screaming like a 2 year old about a knife to his kidneys. I say put an end to Sister Wives once and for all. Meri, Janelle, Christine and their kids need to let it go, move on and live privately. They have been nothing but a paycheck for Kody for years. Without Sister Wives Kody and Robyn are nothing.
I wish someone would actually give both Baldilocks and Crybrows a couple real b***h slaps……..they both deserve it! There are a lot of unlikeable people on TLC but these two are at the top of my list.
Someone needs to tell him to shut the heck up! Grody, you’re not a victim. You are a manipulative narcissist. Janelle has his number, she just is “nope, you’re icky” and he can’t handle the rejection. It’s hilarious.
I am pretty sure Robyn was the only wife who got a nanny and lord knows what else. Kody is a whack job!
If you feel good about your decisions, no one can make you feel guilty. It really is just that simple.
My husband has two ex-wives; in almost 20 years of being married to him, I have never, ever, heard him say an unkind word about either of his previous wives (snd, believe me, there is *plenty* to be said about the second wife) because they are the mothers of his children.
I just can’t with Kody. I don’t know what took Meri, Jenelle and Christine so long, but once they were able to see him for who and what he is, they held a figurative mirror to his face and he is wildly uncomfortable and insecure with the reflection.
Rather than choosing growth, he deflects and degrades—he’s fooling no one, not even himself.
I think they lived a rather sheltered, isolated, life before the show. Once they got on the show and started doing more trips and meeting more non-poly people, their eyes were opened to what they were missing and how badly they were being treated. They saw the lives they could have and decided that was so much better than what they were living. Just my opinion.
I think Meri, Janelle and Christine finally woke up to the reality of what their lifestyle and going public about it was doing to their children. I could never live in a polygamous relationship but I guess to each his own. But for the sake of the kids why make it public? I believe Kody did it for one reason…money. So much for his so called religious beliefs. Now he claims he does not believe in his church any more yet Robyn’s older daughter needed his permission to attend a different church? My god. They are adults. Robyn and Kody are so ridiculous it makes me wonder why in the hell TLC even keeps on with them.
This guy is such a douche.
Nobody cares that Kosy and Robin are allegedly in love. What they care about is you being a shitty parent to all of your children, except for your kids with her and your other wives. But I don’t, it really think narcissistwill figure that should help because they have to be the victim.All the time
Exactly. He chose to divorce his only legal wife to marry Robyn and put her and her kids over his other children. Talk about dividing love rather than multiplying it. His words. His treatment of his kids and their mothers is nothing but disgusting. It is absolutely amazing that Kody and Robyn see themselves as a perfect couple and that it is all the fault of Meri, Janelle, Christine and their kids fault that he doesn’t love them. He wants respect. Respect for what? Being a total jackass!
He is still so angry at Christine for leaving him. This is just exhausting to watch
Maybe if he hadn’t spent years telling people how great polygamy is….. Maybe if he treated his kids all the same and didn’t play favorites with them based on how he feels about their mother in the moment, people wouldn’t be guilting him.
