It’s long been debated if Sister Wives star Kody Brown is the true villain of the show, and while I thought it was Robyn Brown for some time, I’ve changed my mind and believe Kody is the root issue. Throughout Sister Wives’ run, Kody and Robyn’s marriage has been a main focus for viewers, creating issues for the rest of the family while the pair continue to stand strong together. While Kody and Robyn have been living the life they imagined, Kody’s ex-wives have been putting the pieces of their lives back together after the tumultuous ends of their relationships.
Sister Wives season 19 has been a new experience for longtime viewers of the series, as it’s the first where Kody’s only dealing with one marriage, albeit also handling the emotions that come from his trio of divorces. While some Sister Wives viewers have seen Robyn as the villain of the series for years, others have felt that Kody has been the villain from the beginning. While I used to feel that Robyn’s attitude changed the family and made it clear that she was the problem, Kody’s behavior has made it clear that he’s been the issue from the beginning.
Kody Brown’s Been Revealing His True Feelings On Sister Wives
He’s Shared A Lot About His Exes & Kids
Although Kody has been a long-time proponent of revealing his truest emotions on Sister Wives in interview confessional moments, he’s been sharing more than ever on the series this season. Kody’s been open about his feelings in an interesting way, making it clear that he’s been holding back over the years. While he’s not sharing everything, he’s explaining a lot about his relationships with his children, especially the ones he’s estranged from. Kody’s kids have been a sore subject for him for years, and when Robyn got in the middle of their relationships during the pandemic, things got even harder.
Robyn’s behavior wasn’t ideal, but the way Kody chose to stand idly by and allow his wife to dictate his relationships with his children was even more upsetting. Kody wrote off several of his kids because of their inability to abide by his bizarre rules, and when they tried to reconnect later, he didn’t seem to have much of a care for them. Kody’s been opening up about his kids, his exes, and how he feels about them on Sister Wives season 19, making it clear that he’s hurt and angry, but refuses to take any responsibility for his actions.
Robyn May Be Selfish, But Kody’s Worse Off
Robyn’s Behavior Doesn’t Hold A Candle To Kody’s
Although Robyn’s behavior hasn’t been inadmissible, her selfish nature has come to be expected by Sister Wives viewers. Robyn’s consistently been moving through her life with Kody sharing her experience from the perspective of a victim when she hasn’t necessarily had anything bad happen to her. As Kody’s sole remaining wife, her marriage has been intact, her children are safe, and the difficulties she’s faced in her family in the past haven’t been prevalent. Rather than enjoying the time she has with her husband and children, Robyn’s been trying to find pity anywhere she can, making it clear she’s unhappy.
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
While Robyn’s selfish nature has taken her away from reality, her behavior has also shown how controlling she can be. Robyn’s always been able to get Kody to do whatever she wants, and when his children from outside of their marriage seemed to be pushing back against what she was looking for, Robyn orchestrated a divide of epic proportions. Feeding into Kody’s ego, he was certainly manipulated by her in some ways, but Kody’s also someone who has a mind of his own. Taking what Robyn laid down for him, Kody pushed his loved ones away on his own, too.
Kody’s Issues With His Kids Show A New Side To His Difficult Personality
He’s Making His Kids Jump Through Hoops To Have A Father
Although Kody has been clear that his relationships with his children have been a priority for him in the past, as he’s moved forward in his life he’s taken less of an interest in keeping up his relationships with them. During a recent episode of Sister Wives, Kody shared that he doesn’t feel as though he should have to reach out to his children if they want a relationship in the future. He explained that his issues with his kids may be major, but he thinks they should apologize to him, making it clear he doesn’t think he’s at fault.
I Believe Kody’s More Of A Villain Than Robyn
He’s Done More Damage To A Larger Group
Although in the past I’ve considered Robyn to be more of a villain because of her manipulative nature, I think Kody’s behavior this season has caused him to out-rank his wife. Robyn’s villainy may be more plotted out, but Kody’s character has become more clear throughout the season as he’s admitted to being selfish in every possible way. Kody’s made it clear that he’s willing to let go of his relationships with his kids if they don’t make him the center of attention, and shared that his feelings matter more than anyone’s. Kody is the true Sister Wives villain.
