Christine Brown Says Kody Actually Isn’t an Awful Person

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We hope you’re sitting down, Sister Wives fans.

We hope you aren’t operating any heavy machinery or taking a bite of anything you may choke on.

Why?

Because Christine Brown just made quite the shocking and/or jaw-dropping statement.

The long-time Sister Wives cast member, who walked away from Kody Brown in November 2021 and who has spent nearly every waking hour since trashing her ex, has confessed to People Magazine that Kody isn’t totally Satanic all the time.

“I do believe that Kody is a good person, and I think that things are going to be better,” she told this outlet of Kody’s broken relationship with his children. “I hope things are going to be better.”

In the past, Christine has flat-out called Kody a deadbeat dad.

Now, though?

“Things take time,” she also told People of Kody fixing these bonds. “There’s a lot of things that we say about each other that we hear, and it’s just the nature of it. So we’ve got some things to work through, I’m sure.”

Kody and Christine were spiritually married for 28 years; they share kids Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel and Truely.

The mother of six admitted on a December 2022 episode of the Reality Life with Kate Casey podcast that she partly chose to leave Kody due the way he treated his sons and daughters.

“It was like a vicious cycle all the time. Because for years, I’d say you know, your dad loves you. He loves you, he wanted to spend time with you,” she said back then.

“I would tell my kids that all the time — that he’s going to come over, we’re going to have a great time, blah, blah, blah. And after a while, they just stopped believing me.”

In her new memoir, Christine gets real, raw and very personal when it comes to her history with Kody.

She even says he hurt her on their wedding night when he took her virginity in a painful manner.

When it comes to his children, meanwhile, Kody knows he has a lot of work to do.

“My children will always be my children and the door will always be open to them,” he said on a previous episode of Sister Wives.

“They’ve got to come through that door. I’m going to be holding a hand out for that, but I’m going to be holding this hand that’s next to me, and I won’t let go of that hand.”

Kody Brown just doesn’t seem like a very nice guy. (TLC)

Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom is now available, wherever books are sold.

Here is the official synopsis:

Christine Brown Woolley had always dreamed of having a picture-perfect family—beautiful children, an adoring husband, and of course, a sisterhood of wives to share him with. Raised in Utah by practicing polygamists, Christine knew her life was less than normal, but that didn’t stop her from loving the full house of her childhood any less.

Becoming Kody Brown’s third wife in 1994, Christine finally found the big, happy family she had hoped for. When TLC’s hit show Sister Wives premiered in 2010, Christine knew it was her chance to shine a light on the brighter side of polygamy—the helping hands, the lively discussions, and their unmatched devotion to each other. But the cameras also revealed a much darker truth.

Now, in this candid tell-all, Christine shares for the first time the journey that led her away from polygamy and the bold path she is carving to live apart from all she has ever known. Moving, genuine, and insightful, this is a uniquely powerful tour de force of Christine’s journey toward and beyond her time in the spotlight as a sister wife.

Christine Brown Says Kody Actually Isn’t an Awful Person was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Nexstar, joining Sinclair, will preempt Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show

Nexstar Media Group will continue to preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on its ABC affiliates, the company said Tuesday, effectively pulling the late-night show from dozens of local stations as the comedian prepares to make his return to the airwaves.

The company noted it would “monitor” the show as it returns to ABC, but said its stations would “focus on continuing to produce local news and other programming relevant to their respective markets.” The move makes Nexstar the second broadcasting company to preempt the show, following suit after the Sinclair Broadcasting Group announced Monday it would not air the talk program on its nearly 40 ABC affiliates.

“We made a decision last week to preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel’s ‘ill-timed and insensitive’ comments at a critical time in our national discourse,” the company wrote in a statement Tuesday. “We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve.”

Nexstar, the country’s largest local broadcasting group, owns roughly 30 ABC affiliates across cities like Nashville, Tenn., New Orleans and Salt Lake City. Sinclair also owns dozens of affiliates, including the ABC station serving Washington and its suburbs.

ABC parent Disney announced Monday it would resume airing “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after deciding to suspend the show last week to “avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country.”

The show’s suspension sparked a flood of criticism from lawmakers and party leaders across the aisle, citing concerns about censorship — particularly after Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr threatened to look into affiliates because of the comedian’s comments.

Nexstar is currently seeking a merger with Tegna, which requires FCC approval.

“We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday,” Disney’s statement on Monday read.
