Kody Brown’s life has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years. The former polygamist is grappling with a new reality: he is no longer in a polygamous relationship. Since November 2021, Christine, Janelle, and Meri Brown have all left their marriages to him, leaving Kody to confront the consequences of his actions and the resulting emotional turmoil. His increasingly negative portrayal on the TLC show *Sister Wives* paints a picture of a man struggling to cope, and his behavior has led many viewers to question his character and motivations.
In a recent episode of *Sister Wives*, Kody revealed a drastic plan to escape the emotional fallout. Overwhelmed by the memories and negative energy associated with his failed relationships, he expressed a strong desire to move to Europe. This desire, he explained to Robyn Brown, his only remaining wife, stems from his need to distance himself from the painful realities of his past relationships and the challenges of co-parenting with his three former wives. This desire to move abroad, however, comes despite having children in both college and grade school.
His stated reasoning for this drastic move highlights a perceived lack of empathy and consideration for his children’s needs. He described his desire to “get away from this where I can’t see it or be bombarded by it or feel it anymore,” a statement that reveals a self-centered approach to a complex situation. Kody’s interactions with his former wives further exemplify this, as he detailed an ongoing conflict with Janelle, citing disagreements over their differing approaches to life and their shared property. Meri has also publicly expressed concerns about his invasion of her privacy, while Christine has moved on to a new, apparently happier life with David Woolley.
Kody’s struggles with his self-confidence are a recurring theme throughout Season 19 of *Sister Wives*. Janelle’s candid discussions about protecting herself and her decision to seek legal counsel regarding their Coyote Pass property underscore the depth of the conflict and Kody’s apparent mishandling of the situation. In a September 2024 interview with People Magazine, Kody acknowledged regret over his handling of the divorces, stating, “There’s even the regret of the divorce — Meri, Janelle and Christine — those divorces and being angry during those divorces… Sure, I regret that stuff.” However, these admissions of regret appear to be overshadowed by his impulsive desire for geographical escape, further fueling speculation about his character and his true remorse. The unfolding drama continues to play out on *Sister Wives*, airing Sundays at 10/9c on TLC.
