Kody Brown Says Marrying Meri, Janelle, and Christine Was a Mistake – Fans Slam His “Marriage Expert” Persona

In the latest Sister Wives episode, Labor of Love, Kody Brown stunned fans. He admitted he felt “stuck” in his marriages to Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown. His confessional left no room for interpretation. He bluntly stated that he never wanted a life tied to these women through plural marriage.

“I don’t know what to think about it other than it offends me to think that I would be stuck with those three women,” Kody confessed, addressing his failed marriages. He continued, “It literally offends me to think that God would cause me or them to suffer.”

The patriarch of 18 children further reflected on his evolving views toward marriage and religion. “Jesus said not to get divorced, but it’s a big concept,” Kody said, acknowledging how his own beliefs have shifted over time.

Despite his current relationship failures, Kody’s union with Robyn Brown remains intact. However, the same can’t be said for his marriages to his other wives.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown’s Disdain for His Marital History Shocks Viewers

Kody Brown’s startling remarks about his former wives weren’t well-received by fans. Kody built his life on plural marriage. So, his sudden negativity toward Meri, Janelle, and Christine surprised long-time Sister Wives viewers.

The father of 18 acknowledged that Meri formally ended their spiritual union by seeking a “release” from their church. However, Christine opted to skip the process since she no longer considers herself part of the faith. Meanwhile, Janelle has not sought a formal release. Fans wonder if she still holds her spiritual marriage to Kody.

In a confessional, Kody admitted how difficult it was to face not just one divorce but three. “I wasn’t a coward… I didn’t want to quit! I didn’t want a divorce on my record,” he said during a previous episode. Now, with three divorces under his belt, Kody seems to regret the journey that led him to this point.

Sister Wives: Fans Call Kody’s Marriage Advice “Bizarre”

Although Kody Brown’s marriages have ended in chaos, he continues to share his opinions on marriage and relationships. His most recent comment—“It’s not divorce that sucks. It’s marrying the wrong person”—raised eyebrows among fans.

“Kody’s acting like a child who doesn’t want to play with his old toys but also doesn’t want anyone else to have them,” one fan remarked online, noting Kody’s frustration when Meri announced she was moving back to Utah.

Viewers found it ironic. Kody now calls three of his four marriages mistakes. Yet, he still claims to be an authority on relationships.

While Kody Brown is busy rewriting the narrative of his past marriages, Meri Brown is preparing to share her version of events. In a recent Instagram post, Meri teased that her story will soon be told—on her own terms.

“Once upon a time about 8 years ago, I had an experience where I knew in my soul my story would be told,” she began. “I didn’t know what that meant or looked like at the time because I already had this TV show that was documenting my life.”

Fans think Meri’s post hints at a tell-all book. It might reveal her struggles with Kody and her growth after their split.
