Sister Wives star Kody Brown reflects on ‘terrible relationships’ with his exes that only created ‘orgasms’
Sister Wives star Kody Brown reflected on ‘terrible relationships’ he had in the past.
During Sunday’s episode of the hit TLC series, the television personality, 55, shockingly claimed that he had ‘f*** and fight’ relationships with his first three wives.
While referring to his exes Meri, Janelle and Christine Brown, he said: ‘I was in terrible relationships, but wasn’t willing to discard them. [I] didn’t want to discard them.’
He said those types of relationships breeds a lack of intimacy and is only good for ‘orgasms.’
He confessed that while he was with them, however, he believed their relationships were ‘normal’ and only recently realized they weren’t.
He admitted that he ‘didn’t even know I was in terrible relationships’ until he got into a ‘normal relationship,’ seemingly referring to his fourth wife Robyn Brown — with whom fans are convinced their marriage is doomed to end.

‘You don’t know you’re in a bad relationship,’ he said. ‘You just think you’re in a normal relationship because all your friends have the same problem until you’re in a normal relationship that has deep emotional intimacy instead of the [butting heads].’
Kody continued: ‘Some people call it F and F. And the second word is fight. Or F and F, and the first word is fight.
‘That doesn’t create intimacy, that just creates orgasms,’ he added.
While he referred to his relationships with Meri, 53, Janelle, 55, and Christine, 52, as all unhealthy, he stated that his marriage with Meri was the worst.
He previously split with Christine in 2021 and then with Janelle in 2022.
About Meri, whom he married in 1990, he said their relationship was ‘on the rocks the entire marriage.’
‘And how would I know that? Because I had such a better relationship with Janelle, with Christine, with Robyn — and Janelle and Christine didn’t survive,’ he said.
He said he ‘should have gotten out of the relationship [with Meri] 25 years ago’ instead of staying married to her for over three decades.

In 2014, they legally divorced in order for Kody to marry Robyn, 46, and adopt her three children from a previous relationship.
However, Kody and Meri remained spiritually married for nearly another decade, going through years of marital strife, before she confirmed in January 2023 that they had finally called it quits.
‘My choice was always to stay,’ she told Kody on Sunday’s episode. ‘Had I wanted to leave sooner, I would have left sooner.’
She noted she had taken the proper steps to ‘terminate’ their union with their church.
Even though Kody accepted that their marriage was over, he disapproved of the reason for separation provided by the church.
In a confessional, he recalled: ‘They said they’d give Meri a release, a divorce on account of abandonment, and I just don’t believe that that’s true at all. She was never abandoned.’
However, Meri claimed that Kody was knowledgable about the process and ‘knew what was happening,’ so he had opportunity to interject about the categorization.
‘I know that they use the words abandonment, and he really didn’t like that,’ she said before adding a quick remark. ‘Most people don’t like what is truth.’

Even after all the drama, Kody said he hoped that their relationship and friendship would still continue after their divorce.
‘I don’t want any more enemies, and I don’t want another loss,’ he said. ‘I just hope that in the future, Meri will call me when she’s got something fun to share.’
He added: ‘I’m embarrassed that my other divorces have created contempt and contemptuous enemies.’
