Christine Brown‘s new tell-all book is full of juicy tidbits about her life with her ex-husband Kody Brown— including the tale about how Kody allegedly tricked her and his other wives Janelle and Meri into moving from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2018— under the guise that the Oakland Raiders football team moving to Sin City was going to endanger their family!
No…seriously.
The book— Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom— details Christine’s feelings about the move, as well as her betrayal when she found out that Kody’s idea to move to Flagstaff actually had nothing to do with safety or football, but was actually due to his fourth wife Robyn‘s son Dayton being accepted to college there!
“In 2017, we found out the Oakland Raiders were moving to Vegas,” Christine wrote, adding that Kody told them “everything was going to hell” and that their kids wouldn’t be safe in Vegas anymore.
“Seriously? We lived in Las Vegas. It’s not known as the city of morality— a football team seemed like the least of our worries,” she wrote. “But then the family started talking about the schools not being safe.”
Although Christine and her sister wife Janelle disagreed, Kody continued to press the family about moving out of Las Vegas. Despite the the Browns having essentially a perfect polygamy scenario in Vegas— with each wife and her family living next door to each other on a cul-de-sac of custom-built homes— Kody decided the Browns had to flee Sin City.
“One day, out of nowhere, Kody sat us all down and explained that we needed to leave Vegas, saying it would be safer and better for us financially. He presented a plan, but said we could pick where we ended up,” Christine wrote. “As it turned out, even the picking of the place [we would move to] had been predetermined.”
Christine wrote that the “family” (with the exception of her, Janelle and Meri) had decided to move to Flagstaff, Arizona. (That, of course, means that the decision was really made by Kody and Robyn.)
“I was furious,” Christine wrote. “I did not want to take the kids away from their friends and schools. But we were a family and I wanted to be a team player, so I decided to be open-minded about it— even though I thought it was ridiculous. Why on Earth would we uproot our family again?”
(As ‘Sister Wives’ fans know, the Browns moved from their home in Utah to Vegas during one of the first seasons of the show, due to the “persecution” they were afraid of receiving due to the fact that they were polygamists.)
Christine stated that Janelle was very unhappy about the idea of moving as well. However, both of the women were attempting to keep their kids’ relationship with Kody in a good spot.
“At that point Kody was saying, ‘I don’t care where we go, we just have to get away from the Raiders,'” Christine wrote. “…Kody kept throwing out Flagstaff as a possibility.”
According to Christine, Kody even took her on a tour of Flagstaff to try to convince her to move there, showing her the Coyote Pass property that he wanted the family to move onto.
“We would transplant the cul-de-sac,” Christine wrote, adding that she agreed to the move because it seemed like a way for the family to “reset.”
“[Meri, Janelle and I] believed in Kody and his promise of a reset,” she added.
Christine wrote that, about a month after the family moved to Flagstaff, she found out that the Raiders had nothing to do with Kody’s sudden need to leave Vegas, and that Flagstaff was not just a “random” suggestion for a place to move to.
“We learned that Dayton, Robyn and Kody’s son, had been accepted to the University of Flagstaff. I was furious,” she wrote. “Was that why we moved? So Robyn could be closer to her son while I was pulled farther from my children [who remained in Vegas]?”
Christine stated that she and the other family members were upset because they felt they had “moved under false pretenses.”
“It seemed like we weren’t worried about the Raiders. It seemed like we were worried about Dayton going to college in Flagstaff [away from Robyn],” she wrote.
This is not the first time one of the Browns exposed the true reason that Kody moved his family to Flagstaff. Back in 2022, Christine and Kody’s son Paedon did an interview on YouTube in which he confirmed that a main reason for the Brown family’s move was Robyn wanting to be close to Dayton’s college.

I think Cody is an idiot but that said. Actually.. I’m getting my bachelors and taking criminal analysis and that’s actually how they determine crime now. Research has changed to focusing on locations that attract crime, they map it scientifically.. so yes raiders stadiums increase crime, it’s a proven crime analysis theory and now they focus on actual locations and not the criminal.
Have you ever been to a pro football game? I attended a 49ers/Raiders game in the 80’s. Got news for you…football fans are football fans. The subject at hand is Kody, the King of Liars and his queen, not the Raiders and crime. Kody is a jackass if anything and that Meri, Janelle and Christine put up with him for 25 plus years is on them. They did not have to sell their houses in Vegas but they did and put money into a huge house for the Queen.
I mean. Kody should definitely stay out of Philadelphia then. lol.
No, it’s been scientifically proven that raiders in particular attract more crime. Sorry it’s true
That’s not true. I don’t know where you found that information. They aren’t going to “scientifically” prove something like that anyways. Crime rates are specifically affected by the actual crime rate the stadium is in.
It’s true, it’s literally how crime analysis analyze crime now, again, I’m taking a class on it. I’ll let the police professor know he’s wrong though, thanks
Wouldn’t Vegas already attract crime?
Im definitely going to read Christine’s book lol. Kody is a nightmare. I will also be watching him fail on the “US Special Forces Show” in September.
“Now that the Raiders are in town, the kids could get a KNIFE IN THE KIDNEYS at any minute, thanks to all the violent street youths who are Raiders fans!”
The Ashley deserves an award for that caption. 😂🤣
Selfishness and egotism – that’s Kody. There’s no need to say anymore, is there?
I don’t know. The relationship he has with Robyn’s kids really creeps me the f out. That weird picture. The way they are older and act like toddlers with him. I’m not saying anything sinister is going on at all. It’s just very off putting.
They are so weird and yet walk around like everyone is just so jelly and wants to be them. Delusion or extreme narcissism , I cannot decide.
Good for her for confirming what was obvious! Truly!
I,m getting a little bit tired of Christine.
Nah , Christine finally found her voice , let her vent and I hope she makes alot of money doing it
I totally agree. She is not doing what is best for her children.
Thinking about the children stuck between the ‘adults’, I cannot imagine how this book is going to help anyone heal from anything. As a child of divorce, I do not see how this book is useful to the Brown family. Kody has shown his colors, but his kids should have free choice to base their feelings for him on his actions, not on a revenge book, so that one of the mothers can tell her story.
It’s not “revenge” if she’s simply telling the truth. 🙄 I’d also bet the children already knew all of this seeing as they lived through it. Also 99% of them are adults now and the others are teenagers. They aren’t toddlers who can’t think for themselves yet. As a child of a broken home myself, hiding things is just as damaging as the truth and hurts like hell later when you discover you were lied to or things were glossed over. Maybe their father just shouldn’t have been a total dick? You got some main character energy going on here. This isn’t about your parents divorce or mine. It’s about a family you don’t know who has probably already discussed this.
My father was an oversharer when my parents divorced. I hears things about my mom I didn’t want or need to hear, about how she cheated multiple times on him. He should have told that to a therapist, not his 10 year old child. What Christine is telling about Flagstaff isn’t new to the kids, they had already mentioned it online before the book. Also, pretty much all the kids and their relationship with their father has been in the gutter for months or even years now, not much Christine can do to worsen that. But to be fair, as a child I would not like to hear how my dad was rough and unkind with my mom on their wedding night… Would have been better to tell the kids they can say no if their first time isn’t as gentle as they would have hoped for and not tell her own experience in detail.
