Christine Brown Woolley: Nacho Sister Wife Anymore

I think living solo in Vegas not only forced Christine to grow up, it also woke her up. It made her realize she could, and was, doing it on her own. That didn't stop her from spending the next five years jockeying for position in the marriage though - the pandemic did that. The pandemic forced her to see what she already knew.

I agree—I think Christine learned how to manage on her own starting in Vegas, and definitely more so in Flagstaff. The pandemic cemented the fact that she was basically a single mom, facing an empty nest with no actual partner there physically.  Add that to the fact that Kody rarely even gave lip service to his supposed love and respect for Christine, and what one has is a total sham of a marriage— even in the “spiritual” sense.

I think Christine finally realized that Kody was, or became, a complete failure as a polygamous husband. I hope that Christine finds peace in her new situation and realizes her worth as a woman and human being.

Meri stays for  the TLC pay check nothing more. 

She considers her self an entrepreneur!  The show is one of her income streams. 

[Fosca]

I stopped watching this show years ago, but if they gave Christine a one-hour special I'd watch the hell out of it.  She doesn't have enough for a series, but a special about how she made up her mind and how she's handling the move to Utah would rock.

[GeeGolly]

I think Meri has stayed for a number of reasons. First and foremost she still wants to be Kody's wife. She still loves him and wants him back. Secondly, if Meri had left (to be single), then Janelle and Christine (& Robyn) would have won. Meri spent the better part of 20 years making sure she won every real, and more often imagined, competition with them.

I think Christine spent the better part of 20 years pretending she had sister wives but Kody didn't have other wives. Christine was only competing for Kody's time, Kody's attention and to matter.

I don't think Christine will marry someone else within the plyg faith. The whole point is to have as many wives and make a ton of kids. Christine is past the baby making stage. Hopefully she finds some nice LDS guy to enjoy a monogamous relationship in this stage of her life. Before Sobyn, she was the peppy one in the family. 

I agree.  They all have wives to spare.  But maybe, if she leaves the show, she might find an older LDS man whose wife has passed and children are grown.  I could see her thriving in a relationship just similar enough to her religion and where she is the center of attention.

[SilverLake0315]

Kody turned off comments on his post.

Count me in as someone who'd watch a Christine special. Any time she goes live on FB, I watch the whole thing, despite having zero interest in the incredibly hideous clothes!

but after the hell that she has been through called Kody, I doubt she wants anything to do with another relationship. A man would just want to control her, to make her fit into his world and Christine is free now.

if she chooses the right man she might finally get attention, appreciation and affection.  But she'll be gun shy about being controlled.

Meri is stupid if she thinks there’s any chance at all—Kody could vomit on Meri and Meri would wipe it off as if nothing happened and then awkwardly flirt some more—she’s that dumb. It was so awkward during last season’s episode when Meri tried to flirt and Kody was visibly repulsed. 

At least Christine accepted the fact that she was not wanted and moved on with her life—and she could still get a TLC paycheck if they film her separately.

Janelle hasn't left because she is lazy.  Leaving would mean she's have to locate her special "leaving" shoes in one of her 45 moving boxes and she doesn't have the time.

I'm throwing my hat in to say that Christine can't carry a show on her own. 

I think she becomes a peripheral character, featured sporadically, kind of like Maddie or Mykelti. 

Interesting....I think if this show does go on, it should go on without Christine.  If she participates, she's never going to be able to extricate herself from these people, even though participating would mean a paycheck for her.  In a perfect world, she doesn't have to continue in any way with Sister Wives, and like someone mentioned above, she gets a one-hour special or a short series on TLC about how she's starting over - oh, and Sister Wives gets the permanent axe.

Robyn might be about to get a lesson in being careful with what you wish for. Robyn didn’t like sharing Kody but I truly believe he needs the attention that comes from having multiple wives even when that attention is negative. If they peel off one by one and he suddenly Robyn doesn’t need to bat her eyelashes at him to get him to spend more time at her house, I think she’ll be in for a rude awakening. Kody thrives from pitting his wives against each other. I’m not sure how he functions if he truly only has to concern himself with one of them. 

Also, I think Robyn absolutely fed off of having three women jealous of her skinny body, her very long legs (snerk), and the fact that she managed to snatch their man as her legal husband.  Not only will Kody wilt like a bad perm when he doesn't have four women fighting over him, Robyn will too - Christine was the most open about her jealousy of Robyn.  Now that she's noped out, no one really cares about the sad, pathetic prize that Robyn won.  So congrats, Robyn!  You won - hahahahahahaha!

Just came here to put my 2 cents in. I watched the show in the beginning and then tapered off when they moved to Vegas.

Out of the original 3, I really thought it would have been Janelle who would have left first followed by Meri and then Christine.

I now wonder if Meri will spin it that she left first with the set up of the B&B and was just going back and filming just for the sake of the show (which would then make her out to be a liar for a "reality" tv program).

I also seriously wonder why Janelle hasn't left. I mean I don't think there is anything there between her and the Koduche.  He's a one woman man with Sobyn.

Wonder if Meri curses the day she brought Sobyn in the fold.

Cause it would take effort.  Lazy AF.

I wonder if she broke her contract with TLC, or if they made her sign a non-disclosure. Can't keep up the Sister Wives charade when one of them puts out a tell-all. I'd love to hear from Christine what the TRUE story is, though. Girl would make a killing putting out a book.

If there IS an NDA, there are likely ways around it. After all, don't they already have a (lol) NYT best seller out about their early lives? A decent attorney (hell, a 2nd year law student*) could read any potential NDA to find out what her options are.

*A law student would be incapable of maintaining attorney-client confidentiality and if the presence OR contents of the NDA are intended to be kept confidential, she'd get in trouble for sharing it with them, so I am not advocating this. Just saying that NDAs are fairly simple to dissect. She could probably read it herself and get an idea of what it covers and if/when it expires.

[sandals]

I believe she left months ago. 

[monagatuna]

Makes sense. I only just learned that their season was coming up later this month (no idea how long they've been airing commercials, but it's likely a recent thing), so they probably asked her to sit on her departure and her announcement was strategic to drive interest. Even on this forum, everyone was complaining that it was more pandemic boredom. I only considered tuning in after I saw the announcement that she's leaving on these boards, and I suspect I'm not alone.

[KnoxForPres]

I think what makes me saddest about this is that Christine actually appeared to be the only wife who loved Kody.  I  think the isolation asshole Kody has created pushed her to the breaking point.  And when I say sad I mean that- for her- I think she thought he was amazing.  And to realize an unrequited love- after 25 years of being together is a lot.

I don’t think any of the others give  a shit.  Look- we all have eyes and ears and know he sucks.  They do too.  Robyn is enjoying the jealousy but will one day have so much regret.

I watch so much reality garbage it’s unhealthy but I teared up with the scene on the porch with Ysabel (bc we cannot be close- COVID!!) and her upcoming surgery.  It was cruel on every level.  Honestly Fuck him and I think/hope Christine felt it too.

I think she will be fine.  I don’t want her to do a spin-off I want her to end the season leaving in a car and a zoom on a license plate “Done”.  It’s over and move forward- you’re a wonderful mother and have been a wonderful wife…:now go- enjoy- we’ve been expecting you!

The thing is, Christine has no legal claim to anything that is Kody's because she was never married to him. She can get child support though, right? Two of the kids are still minors, but the money would be theirs and not hers. 

Edited November 4, 2021 by sioux21

[GeeGolly]

Christine should consider herself lucky because I don't think Kody has anything beyond Coyote Pass, and I believe the 4 of them own that. Robyn, being his legal wife would be entitled to assets, but again, I think Kody has more debt than assets.

[Absolom]

She's entitled to her house equity, her share of Coyote Pass, and child support for Truely.  Her other children are 18 and over.  I think that's all she could get unless Arizona does palimony, but would that work since he has a legal wife?  I doubt it.  

[Jeanne222]

I think Christine was smart enough to set herself up for living alone!

Surely she has show money like all the Roloffs and Teen Moms!

In hindsight, it makes sense that this all started when Kody was removed from Christine's mortgage.  If this is the case, I really applaud her for making sure (hopefully) she gets all the benefits of that house. 

I thought that it was so he could qualify with Robyn for the McMansion.  That still might have been a factor.  But it also might have been a factor when he and Robyn bought that too-big home on the heels of making everyone move to Flagstaff on the premise that they would move to Coyote Pass.  

Obviously that wasn't going to happen after he and Robyn bought their gaudy home plus a plot of land next to it. 

So then Christine puts the house of for sale and finds a place to rent in Utah where she stated she wanted to move last season.  

She then takes a farewell vacation with the only other wife she can tolerate - Janell - and also probably so that the last two minor children from the original family can spend some time together before Christine and Truley move to Utah. 

Then they come home and make the public announcement that she is, in fact, leaving Kody.  

I still think there is a tiny possibility that this is all to keep the show going, but only time will tell. 

[GeeGolly]

Didn't Christine pass her real estate test a few years back? Maybe she'll try her hand at selling houses.

Christine worked up the energy and balls to leave Kody, but she is still Christine. She will be selling LulaRoe and Plexus and doing Cameos as long as she can support herself doing it. She is entitled to child support from Kody, and that could get interesting if they haven't done all their finances in a legal manner. I knew someone who couldn't sue her ex for money because she herself had worked for 30 years off the books, and the ex would report her to the IRS if she came after him. Hopefully Christine has been reporting all her income and not playing any games. 

Christine will not be working nights, weekends, or any 40 hour per week job unless she's about to starve to death. She would be really good at childcare. She seems like a loving and caring mother who is great with kids.

I think that was just for the show. They might have had a communal pot years ago, but I think if they still do (doubtful especially now with Christine's departure) that is just the show money.  

Meri already knew how she was going to finance the purchase: have her mom sell her home, give Meri the proceeds in exchange for living at the B&B. I doubt that the home selling covered the entire B&B purchase but it probably went a long way towards the down payment.

Not only weekends, but nearly 24/7. When a client calls, if you want the sale, you answer and do the work. I once knew a realtor working from the hospital. It’s brutal.

Yeah and it’s so all over the place. It can be feast or famine and when it’s feast, you may as well forget about having a life outside work. Clients will drop you and find someone else if you’re not Johnny-on-the-spot responsive. 

Christine is definitely not suited for such a job. It can be financially rewarding, but takes a ton of work. She also doesn’t have the personality for it, from what I’ve observed of her.

I think TLC probably paid for the course and Christine never had any intention of actually selling real estate.

That’s a lot of work for a person to go through, all the studying, to not follow through. I honestly think she didn’t know enough about the job—perhaps she saw how half-assed Janelle was doing it and figured it was easy (there’s another one not suited to that job, Janelle the Lump).

Now this I may agree with.

Meri is a dug-in tick, ready to release her version of Lyme disease onto them. Which, of course, shows us again that she is toxic. 

Christine is probably the most genuine of them all. Perhaps the timing of the split announcement was intentional, but I believe the split is real. It’s the quiet ones ya gotta watch!

I think this is true as well.  She so badly wanted him to be the man she thought he was, and while she did waste 25 years waiting for him to love her back, at least she has 7 beautiful children from her time with Kody.  And the thing is, while Christine's kids were largely ignored by Kody, they all seemed to turn out pretty normal.  I have to think that it's Christine's girls who finally made her see the light.  As for her kids - they can't miss what they never really had.  So good work, Kodork.  That's a lovely portion of your family who has no real need for you to step up, since you never did it before.  You're off the hook now, you jerk.

What a lovely, cozy family that will remain after Christine is gone for good....Kody, Robyn - who carries Kody's man-parts in her purse, Janelle - a sullen lump eating peanut-butter Fritos from her recliner in the RV and chasing it down with a Plexus cocktail, and Meri - the barnacle that no matter how you try, you cannot scrape her off.  And this is exactly what Kody deserves.

Lol good way to describe Meri.  Like a tick.  Dug in.  I don't think Meri has loved Kody for a long time.  Kody has been over all of them since Robyn. 

I also think pretend Sam shows us Meri has looked with no luck!  She's on the internet looking.  But she has to be very careful because of the show.

Meri and Janelle will both stay and settle for the TLC paychecks.  When that's gone who knows?

Meri seems pretty happy with her Lulu selling, trips and new friends. B&B.

Janelle is content to sit.

She has 7 kids? I thought she has 6: Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truely. Only Truely is still at home--Aspyn and Mykelti are both married, Paedon is in the Army (or National Guard?), Gwen moved out--not sure if she's in college or not, Ysabel is in college in North Carolina and living with Maddie (Janelle's daughter) and Caleb Brush and their 2 kids.

I'd watch her navigate the single life.

This whole experience has had to have shaken up her polygamous belief system and I would like to see how she moves on from there.

I haven't been in this forum since the last season ended so had to come here when I had some time to comment on this epic news.

I don't think I have been this shocked by a Sister Wives announcement since Meri divorced Kody so he could marry Robyn, in that epic thread aptly titled "the dark wife rises" LOL! Only difference is that I am positively giddy over this news. Honestly, I never expected any of the wives to leave, most especially Meri. Last season showed she is willing to brave any and all humiliations to get back into the Kodsters good graces. He basically said to her face: I don't want your ass. The love is dead! 

On 11/2/2021 at 2:22 PM, Sandy W said:

Good for her!  I knew if she had an ounce of dignity left, it was her only course of action after Kody's outrageous behavior over Ysabel's treatment procedure.  One thing to subject herself to the abuse heaped on herself by him, but no mother worthy of the title would stand for such an attitude from the father of the child.

Kody's demonic disdain - yes, DEMONIC DISDAIN - for Ysabel's very real pain last season was him at his absolute worst, which is saying something! He discounted her physical pain and wanted a teenager to get on a plane BY HERSELF for spinal fucking surgery. Contrast that with how he coddled Robyn's daughter over a fucking panic attacked and my rage knows no bounds!

Also, my petty self hopes that Meri is jealous that she didn't leave first.  "You don't get to do this."  "Look at the mountain."  That scene was probably scripted, but it turns out that Christine saying, "I can't do marriage with Kody any more" was a true statement.

Somehow I doubt this. I think Meri will see herself as the hero that is even more committed and see this as her chance to get back in Kody's sex rotation as a reward for not leaving and "taking the easy road out."
