‘Sister Wives’: Season 19 Timeline Inconsistency Spotted
Sister Wives season 19 is airing now, but the footage is years old already. Viewers are watching footage captured in late 2022 at the moment. Although it’s unclear when the season will air its finale, it is expected to take viewers partially through 2023. In a recent episode, fans have spotted an inconsistency that suggests Kody and Robyn filmed the big argument seen in a recent episode months after the episode’s timeline.
Kody Brown and Robyn Brown argue on ‘Sister Wives’
Kody Brown has long suggested he’s “madly in love” with Robyn Brown. That fact caused the breakup of his other three marriages. Now, it seems his relationship with Robyn hit a rough patch, too. In a recent Sister Wives episode, Robyn and Kody are seen arguing in their driveway over Kody’s relationships.
In the scene, Robyn suggests he’s losing respect for Kody while he insists he needs to remain laser-focused. He went on to say he can’t even get things right with her at the moment. The quarrel is one of the first times we’ve seen Kody and Robyn truly argue. Based on the rest of the episode, one might assume TLC captured the footage in late 2022. Viewers think the argument might have been filmed more than a year later.
Kody and Robyn Brown’s argument was likely filmed after the fact
While Kody and Robyn’s explosive argument was intended to show that the monogamous couple is struggling, viewers weren’t buying it. Following the episode, viewers quickly sounded off on social media, suggesting the fight seemed staged and contrived. Now, there might be evidence that they were correct. The first piece of evidence is a jacket.
A Reddit user familiar with the brand of jacket Kody is spotted wearing in his argument scene with Robyn notes that the colorway he is sporting wasn’t available when season 19 was filmed. They note that Kuhl released the colorway that Kody is wearing in the scene in the fall of 2023, about a year after the fight supposedly took place.
While the jacket model was released years earlier, the specific color combination that Kody is sporting in the scene is still listed as a “new color” on the company’s website. The colorway was part of a product revamp released in September 2023. The coat retails for $179.
there are other reasons to believe the footage was captured well after the rest of the episode’s storyline. Robyn Brown, who also appears in the scene, appears thinner than she’s looked in previous scenes, and her eyebrow style doesn’t match exactly what we’ve seen this season so far.
There are other explanations, though
While it is possible that the scene was shot later, it’s equally likely that it was not. If the Kuhl jacket Is the only evidence, there is a reasonable explanation. It’s possible the company offered a similar color combination that was sold years earlier. The model has been in the company’s lineup for more than a few years.
If the scene was a reshoot, there are a couple of reasons it may have been reshot. Some viewers theorize that the scene was added later to inject drama between Robyn and Kody. There is probably a far more innocent reason for the decision. It’s possible that the argument took place in 2022, but the footage was somehow unusable, forcing the network to ask for a reshoot. Kody and Robyn are unlikely to comment on the situation, so fans will likely never know. TLC has not commented on the theory.
