Since about Season 15 of Sister Wives, Kody Brown has been the angry polygamous patriarch who, in his mind, can’t catch a break. According to Kody’s line of thinking, the first three wives were throwaways because they eventually grew minds of their own. The father of 18 is on the outs with most of his adult children. And if that wasn’t a big enough red flag, even Robyn Brown is losing faith in her husband. Kody’s anger has trickled down the seasons and hasn’t gone away. Now, the Arizona resident is looking to blame everyone but himself, including Christine Brown’s new husband, David Woolley.
Kody Brown will finally meet David Woolley
The Season 19 trailer showed Kody having to come face to face with the man Christine replaced him with. Now, David hasn’t been an angel since he started dating the Sister Wives star. In fact, he has been a bit of an instigator at times. Christine and David mocked Kody for his nacho comment with a humorous post. Fans will recall that in the Brown family book, Kody noted he was “grossed out” by how Christine ate her snack. David has also started calling his wife “queen” as a jab to Kody’s “princess” comment after he called her lazy.
But overall, David seems like a nice guy who isn’t looking for trouble. I imagine the meeting up the minds to be somewhat subdued. I can’t imagine Kody would make an ass out of himself in front of another man. Most likely he will be polite and then talk smack to the cameras during his confessional, like a real reality star.
The Brown family likes David Woolley better than Robyn Brown
I can’t say I blame the family for feeling more at ease with David. When Robyn popped up into the family back in 2010, she kind of felt like the mistress. Kody preached about his strict rules when it came to courting. He wouldn’t kiss the women, have sex, or stay with them until they were married. But Season 1 of Sister Wives showed Kody breaking almost every one of his own rules. During his dating relationship with Robyn, the patriarch was caught kissing her multiple times on camera.
The wives were livid as they watched the footage back because they weren’t even warned. Kody was also visiting Robyn, who was hours away when Christine went into labor. The selfishness of that decision hasn’t been lost on the family or viewers. At the time, Kody would have rather been acting like a high school teen in love than taking care of his nine-month pregnant wife. The cherry on top was the fact that Kody helped pick Robyn’s wedding dress out. He hadn’t done that with any other wives previously. So, right from the start, Robyn dug herself a grave.
Kody Brown doesn’t have a leg to stand on
Christine and Janelle Brown’s children seem to get along very well with David. The contractor has blended in nicely with the 12 out of 18 kids, who seem to have welcomed him with open arms. Again, the Brown children detested Robyn. But I would argue for good reason. The breakdown really came when COVID-19 hit, and Robyn, along with Kody, decided on some pretty strict rules, essentially isolating the children from their father for almost two years.
A stark difference between Robyn and David is how they entered the Brown family. Since day one, Robyn has cried about how she always wanted a large family to grow old with, but her actions never matched her words. When Robyn joined the family in 2010, she changed the dynamic. David, however, has accepted the established system and embraced his new wife and her baggage. David doesn’t try to monopolize Christine like Robyn did with Kody. He is just another cog in a well-oiled machine, while Robyn is the wrench.
Kody Brown needs to take a chill pill
Kody can be upset all he wants about David being accepted into the family, while Robyn was essentially ignored. But the man only has himself to blame. While he preached the positives of plural marriage, it was apparent he only fell in love with his fourth wives, but he was too stubborn to admit he wanted a monogamous marriage. But as he ran from his feelings, he pushed everyone around him away. The Sister Wives star is not self-aware and most likely will never take responsibility for his part in the family’s demise.
Personally, I believe that Kody should concentrate on mending fences with his children before ever trying to tackle David. But knowing Kody, he will ultimately choose the harder road, and he will come out looking even more like an ogre. Viewers will get a chance to see how their interaction goes in Season 19, but I think we can safely assume Robyn will somehow cry over the meeting.
