KODY IS INTENSE | Sister Wives | David and Allison react to Season 19 E.14

[@susansimon7428]

I don't think Kody's afraid that other men want Robyn as much as he's afraid that Robyn wants to find another man.

[@narrstilburyxoxo4658]

Exactly….. nobody wants Robyn, he’s worried that Robyn may want someone else with more money. That’s her MO.

[@karenfoster9960]

You guys are a bit off. Kooter is so INSANELY PISSED OFF that he was held accountable by the AUB. Meri received a release from him and he was called out for his behavior. This enraged him. He has no one he can take out his rage on, as he has been dismissed by his church and the wives left. He is not in control. So he is now spreading his hate and fury towards ALL churches. He is just that special.

[@hop775]

Yes! This totally!

[@2enjoy1]

[@valdeniasimmons2935]

Exactly! The narcissist in him asks "how dare they question my behavior?" I'll show them, I'll go directly to God in my own. Unfortunately he is abdicating his role as spiritual head of the family and is more concerned about someone coveting his wife than on the spiritual growth of his family.

[@lisamelman9997]

Yes, he is now declaring himself superior to all organized religion (since his church dissed him) romanticizing himself as a renegade and letting us know he has a direct pipeline to Gd.

Did you find it ironic when he was talking about how if you're not careful you could lose your children. Whether through divorce or a culty church etc. Kind of like when Robin's ex husband lost his children through divorce and Culty Kody. Hmmm

I think it's a man explaining something to a woman like she is a child even if its something she already knows

[@ChristineHensel]

Exactly!! 💯

[@Tub00101]

It's called being condescending and both men and women can experience this

[@marikamoreau8828]

Agreed. It's when they assume you don't know because you're a woman. Often it's completely involuntary from their side. Example: Me, mom, sister and her girlfriend (all adults) arrive at the gas station to rent a trailor. As we are lining it up to the car and are about to attach it, a man comes over with a smile and starts doing it for us. He doesn't work there, he's just filling up his tank and found 4 poor women he had to help. Since hooking up a trailor is the easiest task in the world he has done it before we even have the chance to say no thank you. He then says we're welcome and walks off, happy to have done a good act for the day. And there we are left with confusion about if we should feel insulted or simply let it go. M

[@aleigha9141]

Yes! When a man goes on to explain something (usually to a woman) in a condescending way, when she most likely knows more about the topic than he.

[@BLARG09]

The fact that those girls can’t go to church without Robyn AND Kody is absolutely ridiculous. They didn’t ask her to go with them in the first place!

[@Dani.L.N]

Mansplaining is when a man will explain to a woman something she already knows because he doesn't think she's capable of understanding. Its especially infuriating when a man explains what a woman has just said like she didn't do a good enough job and its especially satisfying when someone else in the room states that the woman had just said that. It's especially problematic with boomer men and their "little women" attitudes.

Thank you for mentioning the sad/worried expressions on Robyn's girls faces! This is how they appear almost anytime they're on camera! They're definitely UNhappy girls, and I personally think they're going to become very rebellious in the near future when they realize they've been living a very isolated existence that has greatly restricted their lives and development. The fact that at their age they felt they had to ask PERMISSION to seek out a church for social interaction, dating, etc., speaks VOLUMES about this dysfunctional, abusive situation!

[@michellestratford9753]

[@elspethsilverstar6136]

I agree. I think the other women were mostly careful with what they put out in the public and didn't want to be viewed as trash talking Kody. On the other hand, Kody has done nothing but disparage his wives (minus Robyn). You can only imagine how he was controlling them by speaking about them to one another behind their backs.

Still seems a little gaslighty to me.

He was just manipulating her emotionally and then didn’t follow through in the end.

I think Kody has a neurological problem with recognizing emotions in others and authentically expressing anything other than anger. He responds to Robyn because she's hyper emotional and has learned to weaponize her emotions as a tool to advance what she wants.

Nah...that's just how narcs are. They are very self cebtered. They do not care about others. Cody is obsessed with Robyn because she manipulated him into thinking she worships him. Honestly I'm very surprised he hasn't turned on her yet. Narcs usually don't last long with one obsession. If he wasnt, he'd treat Robyn the same. Remember he'd call all his other wives manipulative etc if they ever cried..so..they dont...Robyn pretends to cry all day. Narcs usually despise any attention that anyone else gets especially birthdays, x ma's or if someone is sick..kody is an odd one

[@LPnerd]

many narcissists do not have the ability to empathize. Kody has faked it many times when he see's a shocked reaction to his first response, or one his wives has spelled it out for him. Blunt is all he really understands.

Mansplaining is the assumption so many men have that a woman doesn't know anything about a specific subject. They will start explaining something the woman never asked a question about. It is particularly infuriating when they mansplain about a subject the woman is an expert in or even challenge her knowledge. Here is a great example that really happened - an article was written about this. A woman wrote a book on a subject that she was an expert in. She and two other women happened to be visiting an old male professor and they were all talking about the subject. The professor kept on saying that they needed to read a certain book on the subject. It was the very book the woman had written. The women tried several times to tell him that she had written the book he was insisting they read. He just ignored them and kept on talking about the book. Their words didn't register with him. At the end of the conversation, he referenced the book she wrote one more time. For the last time, the women pointed at their friend and said SHE wrote the book! It finally got though and he just sat there blinking.

The church contacted Kody to inform him of the release and why they granted it.

I believe it, look how snotty they were when they were in Janelle's trailer, making fun of it like they were too good to live in a place like that.

[@duchesscinabonashley8537]

Do you think? Robyn gets tired of reassuring Kody on how HOT he is, how GREAT he is, and how BIG he is? When he's just a bloody clown! I think Robyn is realizing she pulled the short straw in this endeavor!

Signs can be misinterpreted, that lightening bolt was a sign she should run the other way. And yes! We need the psychologist to weigh in because I love hearing David's viewpoint and explanation from a psych perspective.

[@karengloor7211]

My dad never, ever went to church with us because he wasn't a believer. And no one EVER thought my mom was a single mom. That thought process is ridiculous, flawed, stupid, and way too controlling.

Robyn is Kody's midlife crisis. He already had the sweet midlife car when he met her. She is his ride or die until the end.

[@NM-ub6ml]

She will leave him... and destroy him

I think Robyn misinterpreted the “lighting bolt.” I believe it was God telling her to run. Don’t walk. Run. As fast as you can.

Robyn has a difficult time interpreting God's instructions. Maybe he should mansplain his instructions. "Robyn, when lightning strikes, you get out of there."

Robyn’s ⚡️ story was proof they were both obsessed with each other from day one. He’s favored her and he can’t deny.

[@Mellie_Honey_Bee]

I think that Kody is very aware about what online forums and channels are saying about him. This episode proves it to me bc of his self-awareness by calling it culty. I also think that he’s so self-absorbed and vain that that most of his reasons are all about how things affect only him and not so much for others, especially former wives. It’s a start though I guess, he sees how his former religion helped stain relationships with his daughters. If only he can find more awareness to stop being a jerk to his exes and give them all their equal money after all of the bs he is still putting them through. And Kody only having sympathy for Robyn’s feelings and tears is ridiculous. Meanwhile, God knows how many tears Christine cried when their daughter had life altering/painful surgery.

[@nataliescott2261]

Kody is scared to loose his hold over them . Don’t understand why 20 plus kids need to ask permission to go to church , date they look so controlled , depressed ; one day they will run not look back

Kody thinks his former church is culty because they wanted him to cut his hair! Oh, the insight! The adult girls act and speak like hostages. To me. it's a clear sign that he is disguising abuse as love. The sooner those girls move far away from home, the better.

[@NicoleAggie]

Remember kody lies . Do you really think he would admit he abandoned his ex wives and the church doesn't approve . Kody sayings it's about hair he so wants the fans to feel for him . I'm confused if they hadn't been to church since vegas why are they only now worried about finding one now .

[@bavariangirl123]

[@lisetta5052]

The reason Kody now thinks the religion was a cult and is so distrusting of religions in general is because it’s one more thing to blame, one more scapegoat he can blame for his own bad behaviour. He thinks it wasn’t his fault that his marriages failed, his ex wives were to blame. Now the religions is also to blame. Everybody and everything else is wrong, except Kody. The AUB said he abandoned Meri, so now, he’s fine referring to them as a cult. He can not take any responsibility. Regardless of how I feel about the AUB (yeah, it’s a cult), but I really think for Kody it’s just about excusing his own bad behaviour and getting to play the victim yet again.

[@lissalong7045]

I really enjoy you two and the banter about this silly show called Sister Wives. The show frustrates me to no end!😂 Also, how ‘bout a good bye or some kind of sign off. I had to rewind because you ended so abruptly and thought I missed something.

[@bentheredonthat9649]

I bet Kody misses home cooked meals from Christine. I don’t think R is much of a cook. I’m betting they subscribe to a prepared frozen meals sent straight to their home, so R doesn’t stress out too much with her daily routine.

I like you plenty David, but I do love watching you two together. You guys are super cute, even when you get frustrated with each other. Lol ❤

[@abeal49]

I think both of you are forgetting that in the early seasons it was Meri who was crying all the time. She cried over getting a wet bar she cried over the seating at her child's high school graduation. Kody was sick of it because she was ALWAYS sobbing. It had worked on Kody at one time and after a while she realized it wasn't working any more, especially after Robyn figured out that crying was the way to get what she wanted from him.

[@sierra8726]

[@TheeTage]

Side note: Allison is glowing in this video 🤍

[@lisetta5052]

When Kody sees Robyn cry he gets to be the hero, her white knight to save her. It fluffs his ego to continually save his younger, thinner and in his eyes more beautiful wife. That makes him feel good. So anyone that causes her unhappiness, he sees as the enemy threat that he has to save her against. It’s all about him playing out his own hero complex.

[@alyssakelly4292]

The problem with marrying your mistress is you can’t trust them. Robyn is a bag chaser and a man hunter and Kody knows it. She drove 4 hours one way with 3 kids just to lock eyes with him in church after she heard about the doofus getting a tv deal. He knows what she’s capable of. Even her daughters want to go to church to meet men. They learned from their mom.

What struck me is how much control Kody has on that household and how fearful he is of losing control of it. He has successfully implemented patriarchy in one household.

Mansplaining is a term used to describe a situation where a man explains something to a woman in a condescending or patronizing way, often assuming that she knows less about the topic, regardless of her actual knowledge or expertise. It typically involves the man over-explaining something unnecessarily, especially if the woman is already knowledgeable about the subject.

The hair. His church sees his hubris. If Kody wanted to be a leader in the AUB, he needs to humble himself and cut his hair.

[@LynnWahby]

Good observation.

[@jeanm2982]

#1-Now that Merri has Revealed how Kody gave her lists of things she had to do to win him back, it is obvious that Robyn never met Merri accidentally. Kody directed It and gave Merri the script he and Robyn wrote. Same thing with the divorce. That, I feel was major reason for Merri's breakdown & set her up for catfishing. He and Robyn made a fool of her including on TV as she stuck to the script. Thise two destroyed that woman whom I believe clung to Robyn not knowing she was ploting with Kody. Merri felt that Robyn truly liked her and that friendship with her would draw Kody back in. Anyone watching Robyn and Kody's interactions in early season before their first marriage saw a full blown intimate affair happening whenever he traveled to visit her.

[@ShortFatSlut1985]

I just wrote this on another comment, lol, but YES 💯!

[@langr752]

6:49 that’s definitely not mansplaining… mansplaining is a man explaining sometninf a woman should know more about toma woman like “no pms because everu 28 days your ovary releases, an egg you travel through the fallopian tube into the uterus… “ then the accusation would be yes I know my body. I know how that works. You don’t even have a fallopian tube.

Kody is fine with all the oppression of women in the church. He, himself, wouldn't let them have pierced ears, but his big problem with the church is they wanted him to cut his hair?
