Christine has voiced that the real breaking point was when she saw how Kody was treating Robyn's children and how he was towards Robyn, that he could be this "amazing" husband and father but never to her. And that includes Ysabels surgery. She has voiced for years that she wasn't happy in her marriage.
The first time she noticed that was when truly almost died while he was taking care of her. All he was worried about was getting to Robins children and making sure they were taken care of.
@@Bayoubebe yeah right! Janelle clearly chooses her boys/children before Kody, as they absolutely should. I'm so happy that they left and saw what kind of a "man" Kody really is, even if they should have left long ago. I wishes the best for both Christine and Janelle and all of their children
@@buffirice2265 WOW....After listening to sn17 ep 10....he tried so hard etc etc etc. BS He was offering none of himself to Christine...I do not see how he expects women to have no intimacy and still be a wife??
Christine, expressed her unhappines years ago on screen. Why is it not brought up? She was seeing a therapist with Cody expressing this. Why is this all being ignored as if that never happened?
I think Janelle started realizing she had no estate to leave her kids because it's all wrapped up in Robyn's name, and she knew how that would go if something happened to her. Her kids would be left with nothing. She's getting to that age when u start thinking about what do I leave my kids and even what does my retirement look like. And she could see she had nothing. That's why she kept yelling, "I want my OWN house"
And sometimes, I want to shake Janelle because she doesn't stick up for herself...like at all! Yet in the confessionals, we learn so much from her. She's got to learn to use the TLC platform in the same way they used her and that is by TELLING ON Kody and Robyn so that she can get back the proceeds from the sale of her Vegas home at the least! She's in a great position with her following and they would cheer her on if she did so!
And she was mad at herself...all that so called smarts and she wasn't intelligent enough to see that Rob-them and Toady grifted her outta her retirement and half the money from the the sale of her account....at the end of the day Christine and Janelle are baby mamas. Miserable Merry is an ex-wife. One wife and husband, 2 baby mamas and an ex wife in a corercive CULT. 🤮🤮🤮
@@sandralybrand9425 If there is no contract for repayment, I’m not sure how much she can legally get back. She isn’t a legal wife, all her kids are over 18 and she willingly gave them money.
Way to go, Kati! So proud of you for telling us the complete and total truth! One observation: Kody speaking about custody of Truly ... he didn't have that much to do with her before Christine left. He's trying to behave like a caring father when actually he only cares about himself!
@@nelliekenny9630 oh, I don't think he would have won any custody case he tried to bring. I just think that his motive for suggesting 50/50 custody was to negate any possible child support claim Christine could have brought. She's just too classy a lady to do that.
This is the sweetest “I told you so” ever. I’m thrilled that Christine has found life so simple/uncomplicated and joyful since leaving polygamy! Thank you for being a voice of knowledge for people trapped in this oppressive culture.
Katie: I don't know if you recall when Meri, called Christine and Jannell over to tell them that she was divorcing Kody so he could adopt SR kids and Jannell was dumbfounded her first words were I'm worried about what this will do with our family dynamic, AND HERE WE ARE !! Please acknowledge me ?! TY Gail
I do remember that talk ,and could see that how dumbfounded they bouth we're, because the family dynamics was very important to them .. And you are so wright because did nothing but go down hill from there ! Kody was in heaven life was Good for him !! Them ,but Now not so much huh ???
@@kathyelliott6051, It was a real concern and rightly so because look where we are today, Robyn took right over and kody did everything he was told to do right down to disrespecting the other wives and kids then cried wolf when the kids saw what was going on
Didn't Janelle said or mention something like "what about the taxes now" or "how are the taxes gonna go now", when Meri said about divorcing Kody but that she was gonna stay in the family and Kody could marry Robyn. I'm pretty sure Janelles first word was about the taxes and they laughed
Ms. Decker has been a positive change for society, especially for women. I was raised in a religious cult and it is very difficult to leave and change. Bravo, Ms. Decker!!!
Congrats to you ladies for your bravery to expose the true depth of the indocumation. It's hard to distance ones self from a religious organization that 'RULE' their members. They all have a dogma, that has NOTHING to do with God's will for man. (and woman too) POLYGAMY IS A CULT ! Their mindset is made by men... not God. All the ladies held captive need to hear God's truth, not man's.
I think what was the straw that broke the camels back for Christine was Kody's refusal to be there at his daughter's back surgery. What kind of father does that ???? But he didn't think twice about " officiating " at his friend's wedding ? Funny how " Kody's Covid Rules " flew out the window suddenly ! He didn't mind leaving Robyn & kids that time. No wonder the kids all hate him ! 😡
Or pay any of the $100,000 bill. Christine had to bring some of the younger kids with her because there was no one to take care of them while she was with Ysabel.
This teared me up. The last time I attended a function at my childhood church cult my bff(still in) held me and sobbed she didn’t want me to die. I held her so tight and said it’s not the truth sweetie and I loved her. 26 years ago I still remember like yesterday. You are doing wonderful work. My biggest issue is when people ask how did you go to that church or believe that as if being isolated and indoctrinated from birth gives you another choice. Thank you for your love for people who leave. Emdr is absolutely life changing to deprogram
Katie, that was so insightful. You asked all the right questions sad Krystyn was so gracious in her feedback. It was so lovely to hear her support for all of Cody's wives. She clearly sees them all as victims.
Thank you Kristyn for taking the time for this. I remember how kind you were when you were filmed on the show and it seemed like something was off with the way the Browns were reacting. Thank you Katie for the interview. Fabulous!
I couldn’t agree with you more. That whole thing in the bathroom was unreal it seemed fake to me. I wasn’t buying what they were selling. It maybe because of her demeanor she doesn’t come across as aggressive at hall.
If Christine was so mean and did all these bad things, shouldn't they be happy she's leaving🤷♀️ Why then be "so hurt" that she doesn't want a relationship with them aka Robyn, if she was such a bad person
Yes, but how much of what we see is producer enhanced? I think to understand some of what's going on with the show needs to be looked at outside of the box.
Christine was Robyns biggest threat. She's been putting Kody against her since the beginning. She just didn't think Christine would actually leave. Now that she has and Robyns the only one left she can't be the "head wife" she's the only wife. Her and her kids also can't be the poor pitiful victims. Guess Robyns honeymoon marriage is over. She deserves Kody all to herself
@@brooke3140 right!!! If she truly worked so hard to manipulate the situation to her constant advantage, when those other women had 15+ years of being married to him and raising kids together before her, she deserves to have this cantankerous nasty version of him all to herself! 😂
Nailed it 🔨 I to don't understand why Onion 👀 eye's was hurt Christine didn't want to work to have relationship with here ,Onion 👀 eye's was fine with the way things were before .
I've really enjoyed Kristyn's perspective on these issues. It has been really thought-provoking. She was so informative and vital to understand the relationships in many different ways. Thanks to you both for this. I'm sure it wasn't easy.
When people would ask why Janelle would stay, she would always say "Kody is a great dad" Seeing how that buttface narcissist cried about Aurora not being able to hang out for 2 weeks meanwhile he has not seen Gabe, or his other kids for months, the fact that he doesn't seem to want to see Christines kids, the fact that he was not in a rush to get a roof over Savannahs head.... Janelle must have realised that he is not a great dad... to everyone. Once your kids are being mistreated, it must have really pulled the wool from her eyes.
The "Dad'' thing was her excuse for staying. I like Janelle very, very much but its blatantly untrue that ANY man with 18 children is going to be a "great Dad!" Also Janelle seems to use the confessional to get it all out and seriously clams up in the group talks. I don't think that is her fault, it's just the truth. My wish for her is that she takes as many liberties with her own needs as Kody has taken with her hard earned money.
Kristyn is a beautiful lady I love listening to her. I love when you have her on and it’s good to listen to someone close to them. I can’t imagine living like that and so happy for the two of them to finally get out and get a better life they deserve it 😊 love your Chanel ❤
"advertising abuse". that hits the nail on the head. I was not in polygamy but I do know the feeling of "I didn't know life could be so simple".........after my divorce.
I firmly believe that Kody has discussed his full relationships good and bad with all of the other women with Robyn… she knows everything, which is wrong but I’d be willing to bet you that’s what he’s done.
I think, for Christine, Robyn was a huge shift for her. She learned what the jealousy was. She struggled with a cute new woman getting time and attention. But She said in an interview once that she was shocked when Robyn disagreed with Kody and it was fine. Pair that with her dad asking her when she was going to start saying no. Those things combined made her start speaking up and out and that ruined it for Kody. She was no longer the yes wife who kept things light and cheerful. Since he never loved her or was attracted to her, the loss of the yes wife effectively ended it all.
This was my thought exactly. When she (Christine) stopped being a yes women that was when her relationship shifted. I think it forced her to become slowly more independent away from Kody.
Ahhhhhh YES! I agree!! Kody used Christine because she was effectively Polygamy royalty. And he used Janelle because he needed the third wife. It’s all in HIS stepping stones to HIS heavenly kingdom. It just seems that the BIBLE has no place in this lifestyle. Becoming a god in their own right is NOT in the Bible. It IS there that Jesus has prepared mansions for us, all of us. It IS there that, “ Thou SHALT NOT HAVE ANY gods BEFORE ME.” Where is the Bible?? Except for the parts that polygamy WANTS to USE, the Bible means nothing to them. They are taught that the BOOK OF MORMON is the be all and end all. It’s SO SAD.
They say that they believe in the Bible but it is never read or followed. Mormans (all) lie about this so they can call themselves Christian. They are no where near Christian. All my cousins were raised Norman and trust me it is a cult not a religion!!!
I am watching the older videos and these two with Kristen Decker were so insightful! You did an amazing job interviewing her and I learned so much from this very candid interview!
I bet Robyn feels like the fact that she’s being treated better than Christine who comes from royalty is a flex. Robyn knowing she’s a “better” wife than royalty Christine. Robyn knowing that Christine was raised in a privileged polygamist household makes Christine the ultimate competition and Robyn probably feels like she won. And that makes her the ultimate polygamist woman
I love Kristen's perspective, she has so many years of insight and experience to explain and educate people with the truth of Polygamy. She is absolutely 💯 % an invaluable asset to this cause. Good job Katie keep doing what you are doing I really appreciate your dedication to helping women. 👏
This. Interview. I began watching SW to try to more fully understand a friend’s trauma. After years of listening and thinking, I finally have a full understanding-or the fullest that an outside observer/ally can understand-of the collective trauma that is polygamy, and for the trauma to women inside any similar cult. Thank you, Katie Joy, and thank you Kristen. This interview is life-changing.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and learn this for your friend. I came from this same group and those who have put forth that effort have truly been life changing.
Hi Katy, not about the interview, but had observation about a statement that Koty made on the upcoming episode for this Sunday. Did you notice that now he realizes that Jannelle is leaving he’s trying to rope Mary back in by say he told Christine he wanted to get back with Mary, but Christine said no, that narcissist knows Mary will see that and not leave, he already said he needs Mary for the financing on Koty pass🙄🤨
Oh, that is one HUGE manipulation of Meri, for sure. Since Sobyn is too spoiled to get a job, he only has Meri to rely on. He realized that with Janelle and Christine gone, he was screwed for paying off the property or being able to afford the bills for Sobyn's mansion. And he had treated Meri so badly. He had to dangle some good bait for her to bite at. He has to keep her money coming to support Sobyn in the manner to which she has become accustomed.
Yeah and to reply to both comments here... You know what the perpetual sad and pathetic Meri thing will be?? She will still stay and pay even though in the little snippet of the upcoming tell-all she says she never heard of the b/s Kody was trying to pass about making up w/her. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤬
This interview was soooo interesting! It amazes me how similar this cult is to the cult I was born into.. minus the polygamy part. But the indoctrination, shunning, obedience, ect… basically the same. I’m so happy that Ex members are EXPOSING it, finally ! Thank you to ALL who are in the trenches, helping the ones who want to leave ♥️
@@sofietaylor2573 Ex-JW here as well. To leave an abusive marriage of 21 years I had to leave the cult! The body repeatedly made excuses for his behavior. So at that point…for the way I was treated they will be judged for the fact that myself and our two children stepped away as well. I challenged the committee’s decision to DF me by providing it to them each in letter form. At that point they were so angry…they made an announcement that I had chosen to leave..😳 I never expressed a desire to step away. We were shocked! Sooo, that’s on them. And these fallible men profess to make decisions by Holy Spirit?? BS. I’m surprised they haven’t started polygamy on behalf of their imperfect wanton souls…After all anything they say or do cannot be questioned. 😎
I remember when she was on the show... I would like her to know that the whole bathroom scene was such a drama feast. I never bought that she was harassing her and the way the wives were acting was the first time I really disliked them.... all of them. She didn't come across as aggressive or trying to brain wash anybody. I am so sorry she has PTSD over this event. I've really enjoyed your interview with her and would like to hear more from her and her perspective on the show and this religion. To me it seems like they have no religion anymore, except for Robyn I never hear any of them preach their belief's anymore. thanks for a great video ..B.
I was thinking about what she said in the earlier video about the producers pushing a narrative and saying things that weren't true. I'm not defending Kodi in any way, but I wonder if they are in his ear and it's making him paranoid. The backstabbing stuff. Can you imagine having someone in your home saying "this person said this about you" and still trying to have healthy relationships? I can't imagine. I think the producers at TLC should be ashamed of themselves.
I will NEVER watch anything on TLC for the rest of my life. And I know that people say that and don't really mean it. But I have said that before in my life about other things and I have stuck to them all.
No way. He's complete scum. Even if he was paranoid and the producers lied to him, he had said and done completely unforgivable. They can't force him to say the vile he spews, like sending his 14 yr old across the country by herself for major surgery. Or refusing to go said surgery. He's the worst excuse of man, it's disgusting. Tlc didn't do that.
@@lesterine77 I agree. I was just thinking out loud about how horrible it would be to have producers telling crap in everyone's ears thus feeding into Kody's paranoia. It seemed pretty irrational. I'm not saying anyone forced him to do anything, but they sure can be manipulating behind the scenes.
Sue, only please, please don't use anything that refers to Kody or sister wives or poligamy in the name of the show. Kody would love that too much. Maybe something like I choose happiness or finding a happier life. Not pushing titles in particular. Just take away the stigma of the sister wives show. That could trigger some people and turn them off to watching a spin off show for Christine and Janelle. I want those ladies to benefit financially and let Kody say Oh! Man! A knife to the kidneys! Barf!
@@meggie423 I think we've all had enough of Kody and Robyn. So I'm done with those two. However, I would be interested to see Christine and Janelle enjoy independent lives. Also it would burn Kody for them to live the good life and make a little money from a show. After all, he and Robyn were the ones who benefitted most at the expense of the first three wives since Robyn came into the picture.
I've been watching this show since season one. I felt such a connection with Christine because we had babies the same year the show aired. I had the privilege to be a SAHM like Christine was shown to be that first season and she was the kind of mom I wanted to be when I "grew up", she made it look effortless on that front. But I have not seen your content. The show is my guilty pleasure show, so I don't talk about my obsession much because no one wants to admit it irl that you watch it. But thus seasons crazy stuff made me want to look for a community to dish about things with. Thank you for being here and doing the work. I know what I am doing for the rest of the week while I do my work! I can stop my binge of the show (season 8 on my 2nd rewatch, lol) and binge your content. Thanks for your amazing content.
I'm 3 months late with this video, lol! I listened to both interviews today and this was amazing! She is so strong and I hope you are able to bring back Kristen, because I would love to hear more. Keep up the great work Katie 😊
Katy, this is one of the most informative, objective interviews and reports you have given in the three or so years I've been watching. Truly professional work! Cudos!
Thanks always for having Kristyn on! I was able to connect with her and get her book and we exchanged a few emails. What a great amazing woman!! So positive and real!
I believe the Bible is 100 percent the truth and it was never restored with the B.O.M. by God. I hope you re-read it without Mormon interpretations of scriptures. Put aside the BOM, POGP and D&C and re-read the Bible. I hope you have or will thoroughly research using NON Mormon and mormon sources. I personally don't believe the BOM, POGP or the D&C are from God. I don't believe J.S. was a prophet and I believe he was a con man and storyteller. My opinion part's of the BOM is a fiction novel from the imagination of J.S. and other parts were from the Bible. I definitely don't believe J.S, Mormonism or the BOM are from God. My opinion sadly many people have been deceived by J.S. and the Mormon religion and I think it's has caused much suffering, not for all but for many especially those who are trapped in polygamy. I'm so glad your kids are out.
Me too!!!! LDS Mormonism is like benevolent patriarchy, but it’s insidious and just as unhealthy. So grateful I’m out, and my husband and I got our boys out before the damage could be done.
Wow! This really made my morning KJ. It was such an amazing interview. Thank you for bringing attention/awareness to these kinds of things. It was really insightful. Kristyn was an amazing guest!
Thank you Krysten for the insight on polygamy and how many young people are leaving now and living their lives..thank you Katie for doing this two part interview..Krysten is amazing..
This 🙌interview was so good,love hearing the truth about the dynamics of polygamy. Thankyou Katie & Kristyn for sharing.I appreciate her for all that she does to help people,it's just so important for people to know the truth without the BS,but really the truth,because it is about human rights and should be exposed for what it is. No way would I not support Christine and Janelle,and even Robyn and Meri because they really didn't or don't know what it truly is to be free and happy. Katie,I know you get alot if heat for what you're doing here and proud of you for perseverance,it can't be easy and takes a toll,so great job👏
If Janelle left Kody sooner, she would have needed to have childcare. She would have needed to maybe cut her hours to spend time with the kiddos. And food shop etc. Having Christine so involved with the everyday running of her household, made it possible to take in a movie once in awhile.
Can they survive without the other wives money? Did they think abusing them will make them work harder? Kody and Robin will be bankrupt again and homeless.
Thank you Katie, and Kristyn for doing this interview, one of many I hope. It's so refreshing to hear just stone cold facts. Rather than someone either tied to a television show who can't speak freely, or someone who is trying to sway our opinions one way or the other. The interview showed how much of a strong relationship you have built with each other which makes it more personal, truthful, and informative. I do hope that Christine in time gets in contact with Kristyn, and they can resolve and issues that they may have, and that they can build their relationship again. I think that together they could become great allies, and a strong support network for each other, and the other ladies who find themselves in the same situation. X
@@charri3 completely agree with you. Now she has finally found her freedom, and realised what it is to live life, she does not have to answer to anyone. I do hope that she does in some way continue to share her new adventures with us, in whatever way she chooses to, as we all want that happiness for her, and for Truly. I'd also love for her to team up with Janelle, and they can both discover what life has to offer them together. Whatever she chooses to do, we all know that she is going to do things with positivity, and joy, and that is certainly lacking massively in reality TV these days, especially here in the UK. Which is why I would love to see her document it all. X
Login these interview. Katie you are so awesome at the truth of these families. This is sad for those women. I also pegged Robyn early on when Robyn comes in the family.they
Season6 Kody gets Mother’s Day personal jewelry gifts made for each wife picks a phoenix rising design for Robyn because of all the hell she endured before she married Kody. Lol she’s not some sort of; Saint, or cancer survivor. A victim fir day 1. Instead, she was a single mom who got divorced. lol 😂 many think she had a target in the family early on.
This was very interesting - thank you! It's truly frightening how many laws being passed today are moving the country to this patriarchal baby-obsessed culture (even to the detriment of the life of the mother). We have states lowering the age of CHILDREN to legally marry, passing laws to remove child welfare laws, laws providing tax cuts for having more than 4 children, states trying to prohibit no-fault divorce, and targeting people who are not living the 1950s patriarchal lifestyle but instead living their authentic lives. Not to mention the censoring of what children are taught about the REAL world in the classroom (e.g., civil rights, historical figures who were not white men, etc.). This is just a sampling of the dystopic laws. It truly is a horrific push to some sort of Gilead and it's absolutely frightening.
What I think is interesting is that, he complains that everyone's leaving him, but doesn't care enough about them to do something to have them stay.... I think the biggest thing I learned growing up was you want respect, you need to give respect.
I just can’t get enough of the two of you together. This was insightful and opened my eyes to so much.. TLC’s tactics are beyond gross I knew they staged so much but didn’t realize the extent of what they do.SMH
What a great interview. Thank you for raising the questions so many of us have been asking. I believe not only have the people in Sister Wives been manipulated, we as an audience have been too. Personally, people should stop watching TLC. Send the message that we want honest TV entertainment, and that ‘They’ need to ensure their producers are truthful in what they do, and they know how to treat people. Stop sensationalising, we know the clips you show have nothing to do with what is really going on in the show. I for one, wants quality not quantity!
I wonder if the kids have to sign NDAs when they turn 18. It would be absolutely awesome to hear the kids' takes on the parents and the show. I really wish they would spill all the beans.
Why is it Robyn has to have a babysitter? What does she honestly do with all her time? You'd think she'd be tired from jumping to conclusions and all that other stuff.
The saddest thing to me is how the wives age out of the marriage. I mean I've been with my husband for 40 years and i have health issues now. I wouldn't want to be alone at this stage of my life or to be dating 💔 The wives who are past childbearing age, as i understand it, are basically put out to pasture. I think it's sad to have devoted your life to a man and his children only to end up living your twilight years alone 😢
Great interview Katie. Lovely lady. I hope she can be close to Christine. The length of suffering does not equate the depth of commitment or love... Meri needs to see that before anything else can change for her. There are So many contradictions that have happened, there is no theory under which this cult life is believable by the public. They acted like the police were coming after them when they ran out of their homes, they don't live the polygamist life or by their religious "standards", it has actually been annoying and aggravating to watch. The only reason people watched so far is to see Christine leave and praying Janelle would too! They do not have a show without them. TLC needs to reevaluate, they have no moral compass.
When Kristyn says they need another name for marriages in polygamy, that rings so true. I think if they would teach that the marriages are really just contracts between women and a man, their expectations would be so much lower and more realistic. Their marriages don’t have much to do with love, they’re more about production. Produce children then raise them without much involvement of the father. If that were understood up front, there would be a lot less heartache. I think they lure young and impressionable women with dreams of happily ever after, instead of letting them realize they are more of an employee than a wife.
For something that is supposed to be based on “religion”; there sure is not a lot of love or selflessness for some on this family. I have no idea how Christine restrained herself from blowing up on all of them but Janelle knowing what she’s sacrificed for that family.
Who better to call Kody out than the adult male children who can physically challenge him? These kids are old enough to know that the lifestyle hasn’t benefited their Mom ever and it’s toxic. Honestly I think that whenever Janelle stopped having kids she lost her value to Kody. She went from that to being the account and breadwinner.
Thank you for pointing that out because you are so very right! And they put down for that monogamous relationships all the time. I’m so glad someone else has thought the same thing I was thinking. But now they are monogamous so let’s see how Cody and Robin fare with their new found relationship.
This was by far one of my absolute favorite, favorite, favorite videos. This woman is so intelligent & the utmost lovable person. I adore her. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Sister Wives was to show that polygamy works but it only served to prove what we all knew, which is that the women are miserable. It was all a lie and Kody lied all the way to the bank. way
Thank you so much for this interview. You did a fabulous job! Kristen is so wonderful and respectful. I hope you will be able to talk with her again soon.
I think christine's breaking point is when he was there for her daughter's surgery but went to the friend's wedding and how he treats robyns kids better.
This was such an informative and well put together interview. It gave quite an insight to the inner workings of these families. I ALWAYS look forward to your videos!!!
It still amazes me that rational adults think you have to do all these crazy things to have God’s love and go to heaven!!! Ask God into your heart and he will be there… done. BTW, just love Krysten… she sounds like such an emotionally intelligent woman. ❤ wishing her and all those escaping polygamy love, strength and joy.
Christine has voiced that the real breaking point was when she saw how Kody was treating Robyn's children and how he was towards Robyn, that he could be this "amazing" husband and father but never to her. And that includes Ysabels surgery. She has voiced for years that she wasn't happy in her marriage.
The first time she noticed that was when truly almost died while he was taking care of her. All he was worried about was getting to Robins children and making sure they were taken care of.
Seems like the breaking point for all of them are their kids.
@@Bayoubebe yeah right! Janelle clearly chooses her boys/children before Kody, as they absolutely should. I'm so happy that they left and saw what kind of a "man" Kody really is, even if they should have left long ago. I wishes the best for both Christine and Janelle and all of their children
@@buffirice2265 WOW....After listening to sn17 ep 10....he tried so hard etc etc etc. BS He was offering none of himself to Christine...I do not see how he expects women to have no intimacy and still be a wife??
Christine, expressed her unhappines years ago on screen. Why is it not brought up? She was seeing a therapist with Cody expressing this. Why is this all being ignored as if that never happened?
I think Janelle started realizing she had no estate to leave her kids because it's all wrapped up in Robyn's name, and she knew how that would go if something happened to her. Her kids would be left with nothing. She's getting to that age when u start thinking about what do I leave my kids and even what does my retirement look like. And she could see she had nothing. That's why she kept yelling, "I want my OWN house"
And sometimes, I want to shake Janelle because she doesn't stick up for herself...like at all! Yet in the confessionals, we learn so much from her.

She's in a great position with her following and they would cheer her on if she did so!
It’s very sad! I hope she walks away with something
And she was mad at herself...all that so called smarts and she wasn't intelligent enough to see that Rob-them and Toady grifted her outta her retirement and half the money from the the sale of her account....at the end of the day Christine and Janelle are baby mamas. Miserable Merry is an ex-wife. One wife and husband, 2 baby mamas and an ex wife in a corercive CULT. 🤮🤮🤮
She also needs to get back her IRA retirement money she gave them for Robin's house!
@@sandralybrand9425 If there is no contract for repayment, I’m not sure how much she can legally get back. She isn’t a legal wife, all her kids are over 18 and she willingly gave them money.
I dont think kody is capable of keeping 1 woman satisfied, mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially.
Way to go, Kati! So proud of you for telling us the complete and total truth! One observation: Kody speaking about custody of Truly ... he didn't have that much to do with her before Christine left. He's trying to behave like a caring father when actually he only cares about himself!
He is doing it to get at janelle.
@@lexi4693 exactly 💯!
Where's Truly room at Robyn's house. Didn't Truly stay at Janelle's on last visit?????
He wouldn't get custody , she's old enough to say who she wants to live with.
@@nelliekenny9630 oh, I don't think he would have won any custody case he tried to bring. I just think that his motive for suggesting 50/50 custody was to negate any possible child support claim Christine could have brought. She's just too classy a lady to do that.
Kristyn is such a sensitive and intelligent lady
What I love about her is that she puts up with the insults thrown at her and just reiterates she will always be there if she is needed.
She's pretty too
This is the sweetest “I told you so” ever. I’m thrilled that Christine has found life so simple/uncomplicated and joyful since leaving polygamy! Thank you for being a voice of knowledge for people trapped in this oppressive culture.
Katie: I don't know if you recall when Meri, called Christine and Jannell over to tell them that she was divorcing Kody so he could adopt SR kids and Jannell was dumbfounded her first words were I'm worried about what this will do with our family dynamic, AND HERE WE ARE !! Please acknowledge me ?! TY Gail
I do remember that talk ,and could see that how dumbfounded they bouth we're, because the family dynamics was very important to them .. And you are so wright because did nothing but go down hill from there ! Kody was in heaven life was Good for him !! Them ,but Now not so much huh ???
You are right
@@kathyelliott6051, It was a real concern and rightly so because look where we are today, Robyn took right over and kody did everything he was told to do right down to disrespecting the other wives and kids then cried wolf when the kids saw what was going on
That was a pivotal moment!! I remember that and Janelle was absolutely right to be concerned
Didn't Janelle said or mention something like "what about the taxes now" or "how are the taxes gonna go now", when Meri said about divorcing Kody but that she was gonna stay in the family and Kody could marry Robyn. I'm pretty sure Janelles first word was about the taxes and they laughed
Ms. Decker has been a positive change for society, especially for women. I was raised in a religious cult and it is very difficult to leave and change. Bravo, Ms. Decker!!!
Congrats to you ladies for your bravery to expose the true depth of the indocumation. It's hard to distance ones self from a religious organization that 'RULE' their members. They all have a dogma, that has NOTHING to do with God's will for man. (and woman too) POLYGAMY IS A CULT ! Their mindset is made by men... not God. All the ladies held captive need to hear God's truth, not man's.
I am very proud of you!! Sending you Love, Freedom and great times ahead.
I think what was the straw that broke the camels back for Christine was Kody's refusal to be there at his daughter's back surgery. What kind of father does that ???? But he didn't think twice about " officiating " at his friend's wedding ? Funny how " Kody's Covid Rules " flew out the window suddenly ! He didn't mind leaving Robyn & kids that time. No wonder the kids all hate him ! 😡
I think the absolute last straw for her is when he would not come to their daughter's surgery.
Or pay any of the $100,000 bill. Christine had to bring some of the younger kids with her because there was no one to take care of them while she was with Ysabel.
This teared me up. The last time I attended a function at my childhood church cult my bff(still in) held me and sobbed she didn’t want me to die. I held her so tight and said it’s not the truth sweetie and I loved her. 26 years ago I still remember like yesterday. You are doing wonderful work. My biggest issue is when people ask how did you go to that church or believe that as if being isolated and indoctrinated from birth gives you another choice. Thank you for your love for people who leave. Emdr is absolutely life changing to deprogram
Katie, that was so insightful. You asked all the right questions sad Krystyn was so gracious in her feedback. It was so lovely to hear her support for all of Cody's wives. She clearly sees them all as victims.
She has the most soothing voice. Great interview ❤
Like Christine
Thank you Kristyn for taking the time for this. I remember how kind you were when you were filmed on the show and it seemed like something was off with the way the Browns were reacting. Thank you Katie for the interview. Fabulous!
I couldn’t agree with you more. That whole thing in the bathroom was unreal it seemed fake to me. I wasn’t buying what they were selling. It maybe because of her demeanor she doesn’t come across as aggressive at hall.
There is one thing that Kody is absolutely stellar at! Alienating his family!
If Christine was so mean and did all these bad things, shouldn't they be happy she's leaving🤷♀️
Why then be "so hurt" that she doesn't want a relationship with them aka Robyn, if she was such a bad person
Yes, but how much of what we see is producer enhanced? I think to understand some of what's going on with the show needs to be looked at outside of the box.
Pu Highmore
Christine was Robyns biggest threat. She's been putting Kody against her since the beginning. She just didn't think Christine would actually leave. Now that she has and Robyns the only one left she can't be the "head wife" she's the only wife. Her and her kids also can't be the poor pitiful victims. Guess Robyns honeymoon marriage is over. She deserves Kody all to herself
@@brooke3140 right!!! If she truly worked so hard to manipulate the situation to her constant advantage, when those other women had 15+ years of being married to him and raising kids together before her, she deserves to have this cantankerous nasty version of him all to herself! 😂
Nailed it 🔨 I to don't understand why Onion 👀 eye's was hurt Christine didn't want to work to have relationship with here ,Onion 👀 eye's was fine with the way things were before .
I've really enjoyed Kristyn's perspective on these issues. It has been really thought-provoking. She was so informative and vital to understand the relationships in many different ways. Thanks to you both for this. I'm sure it wasn't easy.
When people would ask why Janelle would stay, she would always say "Kody is a great dad"
Seeing how that buttface narcissist cried about Aurora not being able to hang out for 2 weeks meanwhile he has not seen Gabe, or his other kids for months, the fact that he doesn't seem to want to see Christines kids, the fact that he was not in a rush to get a roof over Savannahs head.... Janelle must have realised that he is not a great dad... to everyone.
Once your kids are being mistreated, it must have really pulled the wool from her eyes.
The "Dad'' thing was her excuse for staying. I like Janelle very, very much but its blatantly untrue that ANY man with 18 children is going to be a "great Dad!" Also Janelle seems to use the confessional to get it all out and seriously clams up in the group talks. I don't think that is her fault, it's just the truth. My wish for her is that she takes as many liberties with her own needs as Kody has taken with her hard earned money.
Made me wonder what Janelle's dad was like if she thought Kody was a good dad. He was always with Robyn and her kids. Starting in Vegas.
I agree with Kristen, more public knowledge of these destructive groups are needed. Keep at it, Katie! ❤
Kristyn is a beautiful lady I love listening to her. I love when you have her on and it’s good to listen to someone close to them. I can’t imagine living like that and so happy for the two of them to finally get out and get a better life they deserve it 😊 love your Chanel ❤
The children are a sign about how great polygamy is. None of them are following polygamy!
When Kody chose to miss Ysabels surgery- he ruined his entire life. I think if he was even a decent dad- Christine would have stayed.
"advertising abuse". that hits the nail on the head. I was not in polygamy but I do know the feeling of "I didn't know life could be so simple".........after my divorce.
I firmly believe that Kody has discussed his full relationships good and bad with all of the other women with Robyn… she knows everything, which is wrong but I’d be willing to bet you that’s what he’s done.
I think, for Christine, Robyn was a huge shift for her. She learned what the jealousy was. She struggled with a cute new woman getting time and attention. But She said in an interview once that she was shocked when Robyn disagreed with Kody and it was fine. Pair that with her dad asking her when she was going to start saying no. Those things combined made her start speaking up and out and that ruined it for Kody. She was no longer the yes wife who kept things light and cheerful. Since he never loved her or was attracted to her, the loss of the yes wife effectively ended it all.
This was my thought exactly. When she (Christine) stopped being a yes women that was when her relationship shifted. I think it forced her to become slowly more independent away from Kody.
Ahhhhhh YES! I agree!! Kody used Christine because she was effectively Polygamy royalty. And he used Janelle because he needed the third wife. It’s all in HIS stepping stones to HIS heavenly kingdom. It just seems that the BIBLE has no place in this lifestyle. Becoming a god in their own right is NOT in the Bible. It IS there that Jesus has prepared mansions for us, all of us. It IS there that, “ Thou SHALT NOT HAVE ANY gods BEFORE ME.” Where is the Bible?? Except for the parts that polygamy WANTS to USE, the Bible means nothing to them. They are taught that the BOOK OF MORMON is the be all and end all. It’s SO SAD.
@@maryreddin1407 they are Mormon, the Bible has absolutely nothing to do with anything
@@LemonEyeDrops Mormons also believe in the Bible ("as far as it is translated correctly").
They say that they believe in the Bible but it is never read or followed. Mormans (all) lie about this so they can call themselves Christian. They are no where near Christian. All my cousins were raised Norman and trust me it is a cult not a religion!!!
I am watching the older videos and these two with Kristen Decker were so insightful! You did an amazing job interviewing her and I learned so much from this very candid interview!
I bet Robyn feels like the fact that she’s being treated better than Christine who comes from royalty is a flex. Robyn knowing she’s a “better” wife than royalty Christine. Robyn knowing that Christine was raised in a privileged polygamist household makes Christine the ultimate competition and Robyn probably feels like she won. And that makes her the ultimate polygamist woman
Other RUclips creators, I know I commented this before you use this in your video! You used my comment as your idea in a video. I’m watching you! 👀
I think it’s always been Robyn jealous of Christine… kody has lost out on two great woman
Oh for sure… but her ass after 9 kids will win her a replacement
Well said 👏👏Soon Robyn will regret being stuck with Grody 😂
Isn’t it wonderful the example that Christine and Janelle have become! ❤
This was a very enlightening interview. Please bring her back to describe more about the welfare and financial fraud as a result of polygamy.
I agree but next time i hope she doesn’t talk over her so much
I love Kristen's perspective, she has so many years of insight and experience to explain and educate people with the truth of Polygamy. She is absolutely 💯 % an invaluable asset to this cause. Good job Katie keep doing what you are doing I really appreciate your dedication to helping women. 👏
This. Interview.
I began watching SW to try to more fully understand a friend’s trauma. After years of listening and thinking, I finally have a full understanding-or the fullest that an outside observer/ally can understand-of the collective trauma that is polygamy, and for the trauma to women inside any similar cult. Thank you, Katie Joy, and thank you Kristen. This interview is life-changing.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and learn this for your friend. I came from this same group and those who have put forth that effort have truly been life changing.
Hi Katy, not about the interview, but had observation about a statement that Koty made on the upcoming episode for this Sunday. Did you notice that now he realizes that Jannelle is leaving he’s trying to rope Mary back in by say he told Christine he wanted to get back with Mary, but Christine said no, that narcissist knows Mary will see that and not leave, he already said he needs Mary for the financing on Koty pass🙄🤨
Oh, that is one HUGE manipulation of Meri, for sure. Since Sobyn is too spoiled to get a job, he only has Meri to rely on. He realized that with Janelle and Christine gone, he was screwed for paying off the property or being able to afford the bills for Sobyn's mansion. And he had treated Meri so badly. He had to dangle some good bait for her to bite at. He has to keep her money coming to support Sobyn in the manner to which she has become accustomed.
Yeah and to reply to both comments here... You know what the perpetual sad and pathetic Meri thing will be?? She will still stay and pay even though in the little snippet of the upcoming tell-all she says she never heard of the b/s Kody was trying to pass about making up w/her. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤬
Meri thinks she’s a strong, committed person because she’s staying. She’s also minimized suffering as ‘only emotion’ which has no merit. So sad.
I’m in Wales 🏴 it’s 2am I cant stop watching your posts ❤
I am in Texas, it is 8:40pm and I can't stop watching either. 😀
I'm in Sweden and the time is 4am
Sister wives brings us all together 🤣 and from all over the world🌍🌎🌏
And thank you Katie for it✌
This interview was soooo interesting! It amazes me how similar this cult is to the cult I was born into.. minus the polygamy part. But the indoctrination, shunning, obedience, ect… basically the same. I’m so happy that Ex members are EXPOSING it, finally ! Thank you to ALL who are in the trenches, helping the ones who want to leave ♥️
Same as me, an ex JW, and glad i got out of the cult.
@@sofietaylor2573 - Hi Sofie ! Always nice to meet an Ex!! Glad you got out & hope it was an easy journey out??
@@sofietaylor2573 Ex-JW here as well. To leave an abusive marriage of 21 years I had to leave the cult! The body repeatedly made excuses for his behavior. So at that point…for the way I was treated they will be judged for the fact that myself and our two children stepped away as well. I challenged the committee’s decision to DF me by providing it to them each in letter form. At that point they were so angry…they made an announcement that I had chosen to leave..😳 I never expressed a desire to step away. We were shocked! Sooo, that’s on them. And these fallible men profess to make decisions by Holy Spirit?? BS. I’m surprised they haven’t started polygamy on behalf of their imperfect wanton souls…After all anything they say or do cannot be questioned. 😎
I remember when she was on the show... I would like her to know that the whole bathroom scene was such a drama feast. I never bought that she was harassing her and the way the wives were acting was the first time I really disliked them.... all of them. She didn't come across as aggressive or trying to brain wash anybody. I am so sorry she has PTSD over this event. I've really enjoyed your interview with her and would like to hear more from her and her perspective on the show and this religion.
To me it seems like they have no religion anymore, except for Robyn I never hear any of them preach their belief's anymore. thanks for a great video ..B.
I was thinking about what she said in the earlier video about the producers pushing a narrative and saying things that weren't true. I'm not defending Kodi in any way, but I wonder if they are in his ear and it's making him paranoid. The backstabbing stuff. Can you imagine having someone in your home saying "this person said this about you" and still trying to have healthy relationships? I can't imagine. I think the producers at TLC should be ashamed of themselves.
I will NEVER watch anything on TLC for the rest of my life. And I know that people say that and don't really mean it. But I have said that before in my life about other things and I have stuck to them all.
@@kristinahuckabee9737 they are ruining marriages left and right. I think it started with Jon and Kate.
No way. He's complete scum. Even if he was paranoid and the producers lied to him, he had said and done completely unforgivable. They can't force him to say the vile he spews, like sending his 14 yr old across the country by herself for major surgery. Or refusing to go said surgery. He's the worst excuse of man, it's disgusting. Tlc didn't do that.
@@lesterine77 I agree. I was just thinking out loud about how horrible it would be to have producers telling crap in everyone's ears thus feeding into Kody's paranoia. It seemed pretty irrational. I'm not saying anyone forced him to do anything, but they sure can be manipulating behind the scenes.
@@justanotherrando3477 kate was literally just terrible. but i concur
YES! An "After Sister Wives" or "Escaping Sister Wives" Show!
Sue, only please, please don't use anything that refers to Kody or sister wives or poligamy in the name of the show. Kody would love that too much. Maybe something like I choose happiness or finding a happier life. Not pushing titles in particular. Just take away the stigma of the sister wives show. That could trigger some people and turn them off to watching a spin off show for Christine and Janelle. I want those ladies to benefit financially and let Kody say Oh! Man! A knife to the kidneys! Barf!
Yesss!!
@@meggie423 I think we've all had enough of Kody and Robyn. So I'm done with those two. However, I would be interested to see Christine and Janelle enjoy independent lives. Also it would burn Kody for them to live the good life and make a little money from a show. After all, he and Robyn were the ones who benefitted most at the expense of the first three wives since Robyn came into the picture.
@@meggie423 what is Angela Deem. Seriously.
@@meggie423I don’t believe that Janelle could ever sink that low That is completely off the wall !!!!!
I've been watching this show since season one. I felt such a connection with Christine because we had babies the same year the show aired. I had the privilege to be a SAHM like Christine was shown to be that first season and she was the kind of mom I wanted to be when I "grew up", she made it look effortless on that front. But I have not seen your content. The show is my guilty pleasure show, so I don't talk about my obsession much because no one wants to admit it irl that you watch it. But thus seasons crazy stuff made me want to look for a community to dish about things with. Thank you for being here and doing the work. I know what I am doing for the rest of the week while I do my work! I can stop my binge of the show (season 8 on my 2nd rewatch, lol) and binge your content. Thanks for your amazing content.
I'm 3 months late with this video, lol! I listened to both interviews today and this was amazing! She is so strong and I hope you are able to bring back Kristen, because I would love to hear more. Keep up the great work Katie 😊
Ty Kristyen for educating people about the truth of paligamy..
Katy, this is one of the most informative, objective interviews and reports you have given in the three or so years I've been watching. Truly professional work! Cudos!
Is she not the sweetest, kindest woman? I really enjoy her insights, and her calm compassion. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing this, Katie.
Thanks always for having Kristyn on! I was able to connect with her and get her book and we exchanged a few emails. What a great amazing woman!! So positive and real!
I think the interview was eye opening and very helpful. Christine is blessed to have her as family im sure she prayed for her to leave for yrs.
What a wonderful interview! Such heart felt honesty and kindness! Thank you both!!!
More and more people are leaving mainstream Mormonism too! All 7 of my kids are OUT! Yay for the downfall of CULTS
Was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and people are leaving that cult in droves too!!! Thank you Jesus
@@kristicallnc we are cult cousins. So glad you got out.
I believe the Bible is 100 percent the truth and it was never restored with the B.O.M. by God. I hope you re-read it without Mormon interpretations of scriptures. Put aside the BOM, POGP and D&C and re-read the Bible. I hope you have or will thoroughly research using NON Mormon and mormon sources. I personally don't believe the BOM, POGP or the D&C are from God. I don't believe J.S. was a prophet and I believe he was a con man and storyteller. My opinion part's of the BOM is a fiction novel from the imagination of J.S. and other parts were from the Bible. I definitely don't believe J.S, Mormonism or the BOM are from God. My opinion sadly many people have been deceived by J.S. and the Mormon religion and I think it's has caused much suffering, not for all but for many especially those who are trapped in polygamy. I'm so glad your kids are out.
Me too!!!! LDS Mormonism is like benevolent patriarchy, but it’s insidious and just as unhealthy. So grateful I’m out, and my husband and I got our boys out before the damage could be done.
I knew adding Robyn to the Brown family meant the end.
Wow! This really made my morning KJ. It was such an amazing interview. Thank you for bringing attention/awareness to these kinds of things. It was really insightful. Kristyn was an amazing guest!
Seeing the real world breaks the power of these cults
It’s about education too
Great job Katie! What a sweet soul Kristyn is! Thank you
Thank you Krysten for the insight on polygamy and how many young people are leaving now and living their lives..thank you Katie for doing this two part interview..Krysten is amazing..
This 🙌interview was so good,love hearing the truth about the dynamics of polygamy. Thankyou Katie & Kristyn for sharing.I appreciate her for all that she does to help people,it's just so important for people to know the truth without the BS,but really the truth,because it is about human rights and should be exposed for what it is. No way would I not support Christine and Janelle,and even Robyn and Meri because they really didn't or don't know what it truly is to be free and happy. Katie,I know you get alot if heat for what you're doing here and proud of you for perseverance,it can't be easy and takes a toll,so great job👏
If Janelle left Kody sooner, she would have needed to have childcare. She would have needed to maybe cut her hours to spend time with the kiddos. And food shop etc. Having Christine so involved with the everyday running of her household, made it possible to take in a movie once in awhile.
Can they survive without the other wives money? Did they think abusing them will make them work harder? Kody and Robin will be bankrupt again and homeless.
I wish
Nothing new for Kody to be bankrupt.
Thanks for splitting it up for us neurodivergent folks!😂
Great interview! She’s such a good communicator, I have really enjoyed her input!
Thank you Katie, and Kristyn for doing this interview, one of many I hope. It's so refreshing to hear just stone cold facts. Rather than someone either tied to a television show who can't speak freely, or someone who is trying to sway our opinions one way or the other. The interview showed how much of a strong relationship you have built with each other which makes it more personal, truthful, and informative. I do hope that Christine in time gets in contact with Kristyn, and they can resolve and issues that they may have, and that they can build their relationship again. I think that together they could become great allies, and a strong support network for each other, and the other ladies who find themselves in the same situation. X
@@charri3 completely agree with you. Now she has finally found her freedom, and realised what it is to live life, she does not have to answer to anyone. I do hope that she does in some way continue to share her new adventures with us, in whatever way she chooses to, as we all want that happiness for her, and for Truly. I'd also love for her to team up with Janelle, and they can both discover what life has to offer them together. Whatever she chooses to do, we all know that she is going to do things with positivity, and joy, and that is certainly lacking massively in reality TV these days, especially here in the UK. Which is why I would love to see her document it all. X
I've been waiting for this! Thank you❤️
WOW! I was LDS and my Bishop said I'd never find happiness if I divorced my husband! The links are so similar
Awesome interview
Thank you Kristyn for being willing to share your story
Thank you Katie! I love watching your content. You're the one that got me into sisterwives
Login these interview. Katie you are so awesome at the truth of these families. This is sad for those women. I also pegged Robyn early on when Robyn comes in the family.they
Season6 Kody gets Mother’s Day personal jewelry gifts made for each wife picks a phoenix rising design for Robyn because of all the hell she endured before she married Kody.
Lol she’s not some sort of; Saint, or cancer survivor. A victim fir day 1.
Instead, she was a single mom who got divorced. lol 😂 many think she had a target in the family early on.
Thank you for this great interview! Love your sister wives videos! The best!
This interview is so educational. I understand more of what these wives are going through.
This was very interesting - thank you! It's truly frightening how many laws being passed today are moving the country to this patriarchal baby-obsessed culture (even to the detriment of the life of the mother). We have states lowering the age of CHILDREN to legally marry, passing laws to remove child welfare laws, laws providing tax cuts for having more than 4 children, states trying to prohibit no-fault divorce, and targeting people who are not living the 1950s patriarchal lifestyle but instead living their authentic lives. Not to mention the censoring of what children are taught about the REAL world in the classroom (e.g., civil rights, historical figures who were not white men, etc.). This is just a sampling of the dystopic laws. It truly is a horrific push to some sort of Gilead and it's absolutely frightening.
What I think is interesting is that, he complains that everyone's leaving him, but doesn't care enough about them to do something to have them stay.... I think the biggest thing I learned growing up was you want respect, you need to give respect.
Absolutely!
I just can’t get enough of the two of you together. This was insightful and opened my eyes to so much.. TLC’s tactics are beyond gross I knew they staged so much but didn’t realize the extent of what they do.SMH
What a great interview. Thank you for raising the questions so many of us have been asking.
I believe not only have the people in Sister Wives been manipulated, we as an audience have been too. Personally, people should stop watching TLC. Send the message that we want honest TV entertainment, and that ‘They’ need to ensure their producers are truthful in what they do, and they know how to treat people. Stop sensationalising, we know the clips you show have nothing to do with what is really going on in the show. I for one, wants quality not quantity!
I wonder if the kids have to sign NDAs when they turn 18. It would be absolutely awesome to hear the kids' takes on the parents and the show. I really wish they would spill all the beans.
Great interview! What a beautiful lady! Thank you Katie!
This was long but so worth the listen. Great job Katie!
Why is it Robyn has to have a babysitter? What does she honestly do with all her time? You'd think she'd be tired from jumping to conclusions and all that other stuff.
She only has 2 little ones and they aren’t even in nappies. I bet kody has her working doing something we just don’t know about
Question for the tell-all "What does the nanny do?"
@@marischmaltz hahahahahhahahaha!!!
The saddest thing to me is how the wives age out of the marriage. I mean I've been with my husband for 40 years and i have health issues now. I wouldn't want to be alone at this stage of my life or to be dating 💔 The wives who are past childbearing age, as i understand it, are basically put out to pasture. I think it's sad to have devoted your life to a man and his children only to end up living your twilight years alone 😢
I'm sure they use the term marriage to legitimise it , rather than have the woman realise that they're living in sin 🙃
@@meggie423
Yes, plus they are single mothers
Thank you so much for bringing this eye opening interview to us. Way to go Katie!
Great interview Katie. Lovely lady. I hope she can be close to Christine.
The length of suffering does not equate the depth of commitment or love... Meri needs to see that before anything else can change for her. There are So many contradictions that have happened, there is no theory under which this cult life is believable by the public.
They acted like the police were coming after them when they ran out of their homes, they don't live the polygamist life or by their religious "standards", it has actually been annoying and aggravating to watch. The only reason people watched so far is to see Christine leave and praying Janelle would too! They do not have a show without them. TLC needs to reevaluate, they have no moral compass.
Great interview Katie 👍🏼
When Kristyn says they need another name for marriages in polygamy, that rings so true. I think if they would teach that the marriages are really just contracts between women and a man, their expectations would be so much lower and more realistic. Their marriages don’t have much to do with love, they’re more about production. Produce children then raise them without much involvement of the father. If that were understood up front, there would be a lot less heartache. I think they lure young and impressionable women with dreams of happily ever after, instead of letting them realize they are more of an employee than a wife.
For something that is supposed to be based on “religion”; there sure is not a lot of love or selflessness for some on this family. I have no idea how Christine restrained herself from blowing up on all of them but Janelle knowing what she’s sacrificed for that family.
This was a great interview. Sorry it took me several days to listen to all of it but it was worth the listen. Thanks Katie
Awesome insightful interview, I would be more interested in watching a Surviving Sister Wives with Janelle and Christine than the others.
Who better to call Kody out than the adult male children who can physically challenge him? These kids are old enough to know that the lifestyle hasn’t benefited their Mom ever and it’s toxic. Honestly I think that whenever Janelle stopped having kids she lost her value to Kody. She went from that to being the account and breadwinner.
Yes 🙌🏻 Comparing plural “marriage” to real marriage is an insult to the sanctity of REAL MARRIAGE ❤
The women should be called “support staff”
Thank you for pointing that out because you are so very right! And they put down for that monogamous relationships all the time. I’m so glad someone else has thought the same thing I was thinking. But now they are monogamous so let’s see how Cody and Robin fare with their new found relationship.
It's great to have a deeper dive into polygamy. Love these exclusives with you and Kristyn Decker!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fabulous Series Katie and Kristen ❤ enjoyed it thoroughly, great questions and comments!
Thank you Katie. A great interview. Thank you Kristyn.
This was by far one of my absolute favorite, favorite, favorite videos. This woman is so intelligent & the utmost lovable person. I adore her. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Sister Wives was to show that polygamy works but it only served to prove what we all knew, which is that the women are miserable. It was all a lie and Kody lied all the way to the bank. way
Thank you so much for this interview. You did a fabulous job! Kristen is so wonderful and respectful. I hope you will be able to talk with her again soon.
I think christine's breaking point is when he was there for her daughter's surgery but went to the friend's wedding and how he treats robyns kids better.
Very informative interview like always. Thank you!!
Well done! This episode was really well thought out.
Which season/episodes are being discussed?
This is excellent exposure to this cult. Thank you Katie! And Krystin for your time, much appreciated.
What a sweet woman thank you for taking the time to talk with us and share all of this information , , tons of love and Happiness
Katie and Kristyn you are both wonderful. Thanks for being so truthful and informative! I can only imagine how many women this will help.
This was such an informative and well put together interview. It gave quite an insight to the inner workings of these families. I ALWAYS look forward to your videos!!!
First ! Love your channel, Katie ! 💜💙💚💛🧡♥️
❤
I think in some way that Meri doesn't go because Kody wants her to go. She is punishing him in a sense by saying they are still married.
It still amazes me that rational adults think you have to do all these crazy things to have God’s love and go to heaven!!! Ask God into your heart and he will be there… done. BTW, just love Krysten… she sounds like such an emotionally intelligent woman. ❤ wishing her and all those escaping polygamy love, strength and joy.
