On Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives, Kody Brown began his “pilgrimage” to deliver in-person apologies to ex-wives Meri, Janelle and Christine Brown, admitting to viewers that he “thought everybody liked me” until his trio of divorces.
The failed polygamist made this admission after revealing to his wife Robyn that he wanted to make amends with his ex-wives in order to “set them free” and to release some of the anger he’s been carrying in recent years.
Kody also expressed to Robyn that he felt apologies to Meri, Janelle and Christine were in order due to him previously claiming that he never loved them in the wake of their respective splits. (While fans of ‘Sister Wives’ may recall Kody admitting last season that his remarks about his exes came from a place of anger instead of honesty, he apparently never directly apologized to Meri, Janelle or Christine for what he said.)
During Sunday’s episode, Janelle shared with her and Kody’s daughter Madison– one of the many children from whom Kody is estranged– that Kody reached out claiming that he wanted to come to North Carolina and speak to her to “extend the olive branch.” While Janelle admitted that she was suspicious of Kody’s motives, she suspected the “olive branch” may have something to do with Kody wanting to mend the relationships with his children, something she insisted Kody didn’t need her to do.
“ … we’re not friends, I’m not gonna facilitate for you,” Janelle told her daughter of Kody’s (potential) motives.
Janelle ultimately decided that she was open to sitting down with Kody, though she told viewers she didn’t “really have much desire to see Robyn.”
Later in the episode, a solo Kody arrived in North Carolina to meet up with Janelle, before revealing to viewers that he’d yet to reach out to Meri or Christine about making amends with them. He added that he was starting with Janelle because she was the least-hostile toward him.
“My heart isn’t soft enough to actually apologize to them yet,” Kody said. “The devil gets in your head. You know, like, Father in Heaven, I need some help here, ‘cause me, this jack wagon, I’m just an a**hole to most people and I really don’t want to do that anymore.”
Kody then claimed that he wasn’t even aware that he was “an a**hole” until three of his four marriages blew up.
“I never thought I was [an a**hole] until I got divorced,” he said. “I thought everybody liked me and then when, you know, the three people you thought you were the superhero for says, ‘You’re an a**hole,’ [it’s like], what are you talking about? You’re the a**hole!”
‘Sister Wives’ fans will have to wait until next week’s episode to find out how Kody’s apology was received by Janelle. Meanwhile, Kody’s face-to-face apologies to Meri and Christine will also happen at some point this season, as clips of both encounters were featured in the Season 20 trailer.

I think I’ve watched my last episode of Sister Wives; I lost interest after they finally sold the Coyote Pass property. It seems like this show is going the way of Little People, Big World, i.e. scraping the bottom of the barrel for storylines in order to keep production (and the TLC $) flowing.
Sounds like the apology tour is for the audience…. Can’t get another TV job if the public thinks you are an “A- hole”.
I don’t ever see the public liking this guy- he sure lacks self awareness.
So he’s going to try to reconcile with the kids for the sake of improving his reputation, rather than doing it for the right reasons. I hope the kids don’t take the bait! I think they’d just end up being disappointed and getting hurt again. You can only fake caring for so long before your actions show that you don’t. The kids don’t deserve to be used by him to make himself look better.
The very fact he didn’t know he was an ass, just proves what an ass he is!
He needs to set his ex wives free? Duh. They set themselves free years ago. Kody has been a failure for years but his biggest failures are what he has done to his 13 children. And Robyn presenting that picture of her 3 kids with Kody when they were smaller as a Christmas gift….that was completely insulting to his 13 children and their mothers. And Kody is surprised that no one likes him? Well no kidding fool!
Chicklet teeth and Sobbyn can blow it out their tushes. That’s what I’d tell the toxic duo.
Completely performative from two sociopaths that are just following a script.
I need to get ratings, I need storyline. I need to rehab my public image…the show has to keep going!… er…I mean, I need to set them free…for them. I’m enlightened now. I’m evolved.even though I’m a true victim and cannot admit it’s ME, and not everyone else.
People want to see that. Tune in!
🤮
Yes that will happen when everyone is taught to tiptoe around your fragile ego. You think it validation of your awesomeness not tolerance of your presence.
Children grow up and form their own opinions based on experience and feelings, you can’t control that in other people.
This “man” is thee most cringeworthy person on all of reality tv…..and that’s saying a lot Watching him and his chosen family in their new digs (that the other wives definitely helped pay for) consists of a 23 year old that acts like and is treated like a 16 year old starting to date,the 3 other kids just looking miserable always, Sobyn just being Sobyn and this egotistical narcissistic perv. Hanging a giant picture of what he wishes him and Sobyn looked like is so gross.Who does that??? Ramen noodle head,of course. But….I do like Janelle a lot and wish her the best of everything in life.
Kody you are wrong….you and your current wife are BOTH AHOLES! Equal partnership.
You nailed it! The Klown and Sobyn are indeed both a**holes. Sobyn is only fooling the Klown. Not once did she ever stand up for Meri, Janelle and Christine when he treated them like crap. The day will come where she will dump his butt and as soon as there is no more checks from sister wives she will toss him out the door of the mansion! But they do deserve each other…pretty and shy and Ramen Noodle Head.
