‘Sister Wives’ fans were ‘furious’ as Kody defends Robyn and chastizes Christine for the way she treats her sister wives
In a clip titled “The Conversation,” Christine and Kody sat down to talk about the reasons that led to the demise of their 26-year marriage.
“Being married to you has been heartache; there’s been pain cause I tried so hard for so long to be what you needed,” Christine said in the heartbreaking clip.

“Everything but treat your sister wives with kindness and respect,” he replied.
“I don’t know what you mean by that,” Christine questioned.
Kody did not answer his third wife. Instead, the clip switched to a confessional where Kody admits, “that statement made me want to scream as if I haven’t had my heart broken for years by her complaints and hatred of plural marriage.”

Fans of the show are furious over Kody’s behavior

“This is all part of his plan! Rockin’ Robyn wins his love,” declared one viewer in the comments section of the show’s Instagram post.
“It seems to me like when Robyn came, the entire family when to shambles. Kody is the common factor with all the sister wives, so this is on him. Maybe Kody treated the old wives differently when the new wife came,” a second fan theorized.
“Why would she mother ‘Sobyns’ kids? Robyn never worked; she could raise her kids on her own. Janelle worked and worked a lot,” wrote a third fan.
“It’s about Robyn. At least he had finally verbalized that,” claimed a fourth viewer.
