Kody Brown has dropped a bomb no one in the Sister Wives universe saw coming. After years of anger and public fights, the TLC patriarch now says he wants to “set everyone free.” He plans to apologize to all three of his ex-wives.
The confession shocked Robyn Brown at the dinner table. Its impact seemed ready to reach every part of the family.
Sister Wives: Kody’s big revelation leaves Robyn speechless
Kody shared his feelings during a quiet dinner with Robyn. He said the tension at Coyote Pass made him think. He said he prayed for direction and suddenly felt compelled to confront the mess he created.
“I just started getting this vibe that I need to go apologize,” he told her. “What I need to own about the breakups, about how things happened with the family. I want to set them free, just get them to stop thinking, talking, being about me.”
Robyn couldn’t hide her shock. In her confessional she admitted she was “trying really hard not to give him too much reaction” while processing it. Then she said what viewers have whispered about for years:
“He says a lot of things that may not even happen.”
And she wasn’t wrong. Kody has a long history of making big declarations that either fall apart or turn into another fight.
Sister Wives: Kody insists he “caused hurt,” but Robyn pushes back
Kody sank further into guilt. He said he “got angry” when his exes wanted to leave their shared property. He feels his reaction just caused more pain.
But Robyn wasn’t convinced.
“I don’t think you should be so hard on yourself about being hurt,” she told him.
Kody didn’t budge, adding:
“Because I got angry, I caused other hurtful issues.”
Even now, Robyn seemed more interested in validating him than in agreeing.
Sister Wives: The ex-wives fire back, and they’re not buying it
The mid-season trailer already showed how stormy the fallout will be.
Christine didn’t hold back:
“I don’t have a lot of trust with Kody.”
Meri pushed even harder. When Kody started throwing around the word “apologize,” she shot back:
“Do you apologize that you are toxic to me?”
Then she slammed the door on the moment:
“You’ve got to stop with the apologize word. The more you use it, the more it feels insincere.”
Honestly, she has a point. Kody often says the “right” thing on the show, but he usually does the opposite.
Sister Wives: Robyn blames the ex-wives for the kids turning against Kody
While Kody tries to play peacemaker, Robyn is stirring up a different kind of fire.
She claimed Christine and Janelle influenced their children to turn on him.
“There’s been some pretty intense influencing,” she told him.
She then doubled down in her confessional:
“I don’t think parents realize how much little things they say influence the way their children think about the other parent.”
Christine snapped back:
“I’m exhausted and so tired of being blamed for how his kids feel about him. It’s his responsibility and not mine.”
Janelle laughed and said that if she really had that much control over her adult kids, “things would be very different.”
Kody even admitted he said “mean things” about his exes to the kids. Still, he insisted that the estrangement is their fault. He believes they aren’t “reciprocating” his efforts to reconnect.
Sister Wives: Kody wants control, not closure
Kody’s sudden desire to “set everyone free” feels less like healing and more like image rehab. Robyn looked stunned because even she didn’t see this coming. Meanwhile the ex-wives immediately sensed something off.
Christine and Janelle have long stopped playing the Brown Family Blame Game. Meri called out the insincerity instantly. None of them are fooled.
And honestly? It’s hard to blame them.
