In the Jan. 5 episode of Sister Wives, Kody Brown blamed his fourth wife, Robyn, for pushing him to stay in his failing marriages with Meri, Janelle, and Christine.
“I don’t want to blame you,” Kody told Robyn. “But I felt like I couldn’t get out of that. And your backing my conscience, saying ‘You can’t leave.’”
Robyn, taken aback, quickly denied Kody’s version of events, responding, “I didn’t say, ‘You can’t leave.’ I was just encouraging you to work things out.”
Still, Kody Brown doubled down, suggesting that Robyn was the reason he stayed in relationships that he no longer wanted. His comments left fans – and his ex-wives – questioning the truth of his story.

Sister Wives: Janelle Brown Weighs In: ‘That’s a Shame If It’s True’
Janelle Brown, who separated from Kody Brown in 2022, responded to his claims during the episode. While she admitted she wasn’t privy to what went on behind closed doors between Kody and Robyn, she wasn’t buying his story.
“It would be a shame if Kody allowed Robyn to have that much control over his decisions,” Janelle said during a confessional. She made it clear that if Kody truly felt forced to stay in his marriages, that was on him – not Robyn.
However, Janelle didn’t seem convinced that Kody was telling the whole truth. She seemed skeptical. It hinted that Kody was looking for a scapegoat to avoid blame for his failed marriages.

Sister Wives: Fans Call Out Kody’s Narrative: ‘He’s Rewriting History’
After the episode aired, Sister Wives fans flooded social media to share their thoughts on Kody Brown’s latest revelation. Many viewers agreed with Janelle that Kody was rewriting history to shift the blame away from himself.
One fan on Reddit wrote, “Kody’s entire narrative is about making himself look like the victim. He’s not fooling anyone.”
Another viewer added, “Robyn never wanted plural marriage. Why would she push Kody to stay with the other wives? He’s making things up to save face.”
Some fans believe Kody wanted to keep his marriages for money. They think it was more about his reality TV career than any pressure from Robyn.
Sister Wives: Was Kody Keeping the Marriages for Financial Reasons?
Many Sister Wives viewers think Kody Brown had financial motives for keeping his marriages to Janelle and Meri. Both women helped support the family. Some fans think Kody feared losing them would hurt his wallet and the show’s future.
“I don’t think Kody ever really wanted to repair those marriages,” one Redditor wrote. “He wanted to keep the money flowing. Meri and Janelle Brown brought in a lot of income.”
Another fan added, “It’s no coincidence that Kody’s relationships fell apart when the wives started realizing they didn’t need him financially anymore.”
With Sister Wives Season 20 reportedly in production, Kody’s drama isn’t going anywhere. But fans aren’t buying his attempts to rewrite the past.
Sister Wives: Is Robyn Brown Really to Blame? Fans Think Not
While Kody Brown is pointing fingers at Robyn Brown, many Sister Wives fans think she isn’t to blame this time.
“Robyn may be controlling, but Kody is a grown man,” one fan tweeted. “He made his own choices. Blaming Robyn is just another way for him to avoid accountability.”
Another viewer added, “Kody always acts like he’s some tragic hero. But let’s be real – he’s the one who made these decisions.”
Kody claims his ex-wives and fans blame Robyn for his failed plural marriage. But, they aren’t convinced.
Sister Wives: Kody Brown’s Attempt to Rewrite History Falls Flat
As Sister Wives Season 19 ends, viewers and his ex-wives reject Kody Brown’s attempt to blame Robyn for his failed marriages.
Janelle’s response summed it up best: “It would be a shame if he really let someone else control his life like that.”
But fans believe that Kody’s motives had more to do with money and fame than love. And with Season 20 reportedly in the works, it’s clear that the drama surrounding Kody and his former wives is far from over.
