Sister Wives Bombshell: Kody Brown Branded a Hypocrite – Fans Say He’s the One Who Can’t Move On!

As Season 19 of Sister Wives wraps up, one thing has become crystal clear: Kody Brown is in full-blown denial—and fans are no longer keeping quiet about it. In what was meant to be a reflective season finale, Kody expressed his deep frustration, claiming that his ex-wives—Christine, Janelle, and Meri—just won’t stop talking about him and Robin. But this sparked outrage among fans, who say Kody is doing exactly what he accuses them of, and worse: he’s gaslighting his audience in plain sight.

In the latest episode, Kody stated, “I just wish they would move on.” But fans were quick to point out the irony. Christine and Janelle have clearly moved on—thriving in their personal and professional lives, enjoying new relationships, launching successful ventures, and spending more time with their children. It’s Kody and Robin who seem stuck—bitter, defensive, and constantly circling back to old grievances.

One fan’s Reddit post summed it up perfectly: “Kody, no one’s thinking about you outside of this show. Your ex-wives are living their lives. They only talk about you because that’s literally what the show is about.” It’s a sentiment that echoed across social media, as viewer after viewer slammed Kody’s hypocrisy. His complaints that the women are “still obsessed” with him come off as not just disingenuous, but deeply narcissistic.

Kody’s commentary has been increasingly tone-deaf. Rather than reflecting on his own role in the family’s disintegration, he continuously paints himself as the victim. But fans aren’t buying it. Christine and Janelle in particular have become beloved figures in the Sister Wives community, not because they bash Kody, but because they’ve shown strength and growth in the aftermath of heartbreak.

Ironically, the only people still obsessed with the past seem to be Kody, Robin, and to some extent, Meri. All three sat on the couch during the tell-all episodes, still rehashing old wounds while portraying themselves as the wronged parties. The double standard is glaring—Kody criticizes the OG3 for speaking out while he and Robin continue to criticize them in the very same breath.

A particularly infuriating point for fans is Kody and Robin’s insistence that the other wives should “stop talking” about them, while simultaneously participating in a show whose entire premise is built on reliving and dissecting their failed relationships. As one fan put it, “They’re literally paid to talk about you. That’s how this works.”

Even more insulting, Kody’s remarks ignore the years of emotional neglect, betrayal, and favoritism that fueled the split. Fans argue that if Christine, Janelle, or Meri choose to speak about those experiences, they have every right to—especially when those stories involve deeply personal events that shaped their lives.

And let’s not forget the financial aspect. Many viewers believe Kody is frustrated not just by his ex-wives’ emotional independence, but by their growing success. Christine and Janelle are more popular than ever, enjoying business wins and positive media attention—while Kody and Robin seem increasingly isolated. One comment read, “He sees their prosperity and says, ‘That’s my money.’” It’s a biting remark, but one that resonates. After years of controlling the narrative, Kody is no longer in charge—and it’s clearly eating at him. 

Critics also called attention to Kody’s lack of accountability. Rather than countering his ex-wives’ claims with facts or denying specific accusations, he simply dismisses them with “I wish they’d stop talking about me,” or “They’re jealous of Robin.” It’s a deflection tactic fans have seen before—and they’re over it.

One particularly vocal viewer said it best: “The only people who still think the world revolves around Kody are Kody and Robin.” Indeed, their shared delusion that they are the center of everyone else’s story has become not just comical, but exhausting.

Another fan pointed out that if Kody truly wanted to move on, he wouldn’t bring his ex-wives up in nearly every scene. Since Christine left him, his every confessional seems to include some jab or bitter reflection. Meanwhile, Christine and Janelle spend more time discussing their goals, families, and futures than they do rehashing Kody’s misdeeds.

Even Meri, who has struggled to fully detach from Kody, has started carving out a new life. Still, her emotional connection lingers, and fans speculate that if given the opportunity, Meri might even return to Kody—a move that would only deepen the bizarre codependent dynamic between her, Kody, and Robin.

The hypocrisy of it all is best encapsulated in the reaction from viewers who’ve stuck with the show for years. As one commenter said: “It’s not that they’re ‘stuck on Kody.’ It’s that Kody won’t stop making himself the center of everything.” Another added, “Cody and Robin are Dumb and Dumber. They talk more about Christine and Janelle than the other way around.”

There’s also growing concern that Kody is simply playing the villain for the cameras, knowing full well it keeps the spotlight on him. After nearly 20 seasons, the Brown family is well aware of how reality TV works. Playing the victim, accusing others, and stirring drama has kept the show alive—but at what cost to their real relationships?

Some even suspect that Kody and Robin’s complaints are strategic. With the series potentially nearing its end and viewership fluctuating, the pair may be grasping at controversy in a last-ditch attempt to keep their relevance—and income—intact. One viewer noted, “They know the money’s drying up. They’re milking the storyline as long as they can.”

The core of the issue, though, remains the same: Kody’s refusal to own his actions. Instead of taking responsibility for years of favoritism, broken trust, and public missteps, he prefers to point fingers—particularly at Christine and Janelle, who have clearly left him in the dust emotionally and socially.

The show may be about polygamy, but what Sister Wives has become is something even more universal—a portrait of one man clinging to control, while the women around him rise from the ashes of a fractured system.

In the end, it’s not Christine, Janelle, or even Meri who are stuck in the past. It’s Kody. And until he faces that truth, he’ll keep being called out not just by fans, but by the very show he helped create
