If you’re a Sister Wives fan, there’s a very good chance you don’t have respect for Kody Brown. To be fair, he hasn’t given us much to respect him about. He is constantly disappointing his wives and children (except for Robyn, of course) and has proved time and time again he is kind of selfish.
Now, his ex-wife Christine is opening up about the moment she lost respect for her ex in a new interview with People.
If you’re a “Sister Wives” fan, I bet you probably know what moment Christine Brown is referring to.
To be fair, there have been so many shocking moments involving the family’s patriarch Kody Brown that it’s difficult to narrow it down to just one.
Thankfully, we don’t have to guess as Christine lays it all out for us in a new interview.
Speaking with People , the mom of six recalled: “He broke my little girl’s heart. I really find it hard to stay with a guy who I don’t respect.”
Of course, Christine is referring to her and Kody’s daughter Ysabel. The 19-year-old underwent intensive surgery to correct her scoliosis in September 2020.
Kody skipped out on the trip and blamed the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason he didn’t travel to New Jersey with his daughter and Christine.
“I understood COVID, and why he couldn’t come, but she didn’t. And she still has a really hard time with it,” Christine explained to “People.”
“I was there with Ysabel the whole time in New Jersey for the surgery. And I remember them pointing out, like, ‘Are you here alone? Where’s your husband?'”
“I’m like, ‘Oh, he’s not here.’ And they’re like, ‘Whoa, isn’t that hard?’ And I’m like, ‘No, it’s hard for her. It’s hard for Ysabel, but it’s not hard for me.'”
Kody’s decision proved to be a ” good wake-up call” to Christine about where her husband’s priorities lay.
“In the end, I would’ve preferred to have him there, of course, because it’s what Ysabel needed. But I didn’t need him anymore.”
I think I speak for ALL Sister Wives fans when I say I’m so proud of Christine and how brave she’s been this past year.
The new season of Sister Wives premieres on TLC Sunday, September 11th.
