In order to understand the FLDS culture, you need to know the men can be typically abusive, they ostracize, they kick the boys out when they reach age (Look up The Lost Boys) They are almost always Narcissist, Some have sociopathic tendencies and it is all about control. This show exposed how awful Polygamy can be. I hope the ones who left find joy and happiness

I found the statement by Robyn about Kody's needs being rejected a crock. Christine was literally broken when she told the camera KODY told her he did not want an intimate marriage with her anymore and she could not live like that. He also on numerous occasions stated he would withhold his affection if the wives were not being good/respectful/obedient. I call BS on Robyn.

[@vintage_violet]

I bet Robyn would say (just like Kody did) that they were "choosing" a lack of intimacy because of their lack of loyalty (or whatever) so they were in a sense "refusing" the intimacy. She and Kody love to twist everything their way so I assume shed go there with this. 🙄☹️

He is estranged from several of his children. His finances are a mess. Kody’s a mess. IMO

[@roberts9565]

Absolutely!!

[@Maredie1]

Christine and Meri have been begging for love and affection for years so robyn is full of it.

[@Elissa_Marie]

I interpreted it the same way when Robyn said “the other wives reject him affection wise because they’re not comfortable or don’t like it or that’s not who they are.”. Then she also brought up how he’s loved them and been there through the stretch marks and weight gain. She said some horrible things so I can only imagine what she’s really like without cameras around.

[@brooklynnmcloud1470]

It’s such a gaslight as well. Meri begged him for a closer relationship for years. He treated Janele like a business partner and used Christine to be the homemaker. The reason Janelle and Christine are so close is because they’ve been raising their family the way their doctrine actually prescribed. As one family with everyone contributing what they can. It sounds like Kody wanted to do some niche stuff. Whatever that is, what ever not my business to link shame, but to chalk up three of his marriages failing to that is ridiculous.

[@girlsrule877]

I agree with you. Robyn was talking about sex. The other three had gone “stagnant” in the bedroom and she had to pick up their slack. They had certain boundaries that had developed during their twenty year long relationships and they weren’t willing to toss those aside and do things that made them uncomfortable for the sake of Kody’s pleasure. It all sounded very like those “keep sweet” and “make yourself joyfully available” principles that the Fundamentalists groups are known to use to control women. It made me feel sick.

It was like she was saying "if you don't do what your man wants then you deserve to be punished/neglected until you are eager to please him" which is stuff my psycho ex used to brainwash me only I was 15 at the time and escaped at age 20. It honestly sounds like Robyn is in a SA situation with her spouse and has been brainwashed into believing it's her duty to please. She seems so angry at the other wives like they put this burden all on her, when in reality all that said was "I have boundaries, please respect them" 😭

I don’t have children, but I’d like to think that I would have concern about any of my children catching Covid and expressing that in a different way.

[@finevindicatedmess]

Kody's concern about COVID made no sense to me and his fear about his children's safety does not have a good track record. In season 6, episode 16, Truely was hospitalized because of kidney failure (which kinda makes the "knife in the kidney!" line all the more ironic). Aside from Truely, the only children that are under 13 are Robyn's children. Christine, Janelle, and Meri's children are all high school teenagers or older. If you ask me, this was just a subtle but pathetic way to say "I need to protect Robyn's children because Robyn is the favorite." Kody doesn't take accountability for any of his children besides Robyn's children. I would think that having children with 4 different wives gets confusing. But the wording of "Janelle's children" or "Christine's children" sounds like he isn't acknowledging the fact that he made those children. It's like I always say -- anyone can be a father (or in Kody's case, a sperm donor). It takes a certain type of man to earn the title of daddy.

Robyn is talking about sexual behavior, attitude, over all behavior. In past episodes, she has described her ex as seemingly abusive to her and their kids, a poor provider, overall lacking in what she perceived a husband should be. She came to the Brown family having nothing and on welfsre. In other episodes, she made it clear she wanted a husband who was the opposite of her ex and would give her what she wanted for herself and her kids. She dropped all of her facade in part 3 when she made it clear that she studied Kody's interatctions with other wives and made certain to hone her skills to behave with him completely the opposite of behavior he complained about or observed in others even to the superficial aspects of looks. When he is testy with her, she becomes a hurt, helpless puppy who doesn't blame him but other wives for being disrespectful to him and reminds him how she adores him. She deflects him, makes him blame others for his bad behavior towards her and feel guilty.

Allison has to realize we are all 12 year old boys at some level. The fact that Cody had a babysitter coming in who obviously doesn't seal herself up in a tomb until they need her again and obviously goes out in public says it is just his way of blaming the boys because they challenge the "Alpha" male in the family.

[@sanshiweinle]

I believe you are correct in your interpretation of what she was saying in that clip. In the early seasons they talked about how Janelle isn't openly affectionate and he hated it. So eventually she just had to get more comfortable with PDA's and just being more openly affectionate in general. They also keep talking about loyalty. But it seems to me that when he says he wants their loyalty he wants their obedience and to be subservient to him. When he says he wants them to respect him it also seems like he really is saying he wants them to stop having their own opinions and just do what they are told. It is really sad.

[@bridgettross4589]

Looking back at season 1 it’s now obvious to me that the happy, seemingly contented Kody that seemed so happy with his 3 OG wives was really his giddy ness because Robyn was new and would be his 4th wife. Robyn was the reason he was so over the moon, not because he was happily married to his other 3 wives. I think Kody gave up on his first 3 marriages as soon as Robyn was in the picture but he was happy to have their incomes so he could give Robyn everything she wanted.

[@cathywithac]

Yes, kudos to Suki to getting Kody to the point of apologizing to Gabe and Garrison HOWEVER I flinched in pain at the words of his apology. Kody talked about protecting 'my family'. Kody proclaimed that the boys were going to kill 'my kids' by not obeying all his covid rules. He positioned his son's with Janelle as 'other'. 'Other' would not obey to protect 'my family (aka Robyn and her kids)'. We heard Kody tell Gabe and Garrison that they are not his family. Kody speaks of them in sexually vulgar terms and accuses them of being potential killers of 'my family'. Kody says that 'Next Time' he will do better. There is no 'Next Time' for Kody. He has burned his bridges. They are all independent adults now. He has no say and zero influence on their actions now. There is zero chance that Gabe, Garrison or many of the kids would accept this 'apology'. There is a song by Harry Chapin called 'Cats in the Cradle' that Kody should study. Then he may begin to understand.

As someone who's worked in the MH field for decades, with a large focus on adults with significant family of origin issues (often trauma-related), all my antennas went up during one of the final episodes when Kody said (for the first time) that he had experienced problems with his father during his upbringing. There it is! Likely doesn't explain all of his craziness, but definitely a noteworthy piece of the puzzle.

I’m really glad you broke this down and told it like it is. Those women were good enough for him for decades and now he just throws them under the bus like they’re nothing and if Robyn doesn’t think that can’t happen to her she’s wrong! Much love to those strong, beautiful women.

[@LizzaLee]

Yes! That scene where he had a complete melt-down, he started he script and then realized that he wasn't positioned in the best place for the camera. He totally walked around the circle to face the camera before he started yelling about having his kidney ripped out.

[@tanishaharris3630]

I’m really confused with that statement she made, because that was one of Christine‘s biggest complaints . She said she would not have a non-physical relationship. Also this is what led to Kody’s items being placed in the garage. I think I’m gonna go back and watch last two seasons again just to make sure

[@belladolce85]

I thought the same ....but maybe Kody has specific acts or fetishes that the other wives besides Robin wont do

[@jessid2011]

You're right! He said something about how marriages survive for years without intimacy and Christine got big mad. She basically said she did not wish that for herself or any of her sister wives either. So it definitely was portrayed as though Kody is the one who is cutting off intimate connection with his wives. We know that's what he did with Mary, but he's following a pattern here. I think maybe what Robin was talking about was directed at Janelle's relationship with Kody. It has been said that Janelle was comfortable with the relationship, she chose the dogs in the bed over Kody, and Chritine had said things in the past to the effect of "Janelle's relationship with Kody would never work for me" Heck, at the end of it. Janelle even said they were basically just friends, but not in love. I always got the impression that there was no physical relationship between them.

[@jholmansky]

I thought the statement made sense. It sounded to me like Kody wanted the wives to do things sexually they weren't comfortable doing. Christine could have still wanted an intimate/sexual relationship with him but refused to do certain sexual things that made her uncomfortable. Her potential refusal and Robyn's obvious willingness could also have been part of the reason Kody ended their physical relationship. He takes a "give me what I want or you don't get what you want" approach. It's messed up.

[@tanishaharris3630]

@@belladolce85 If this is true don’t you think that after a while it would be a turn off and they will no longer want an intimate relationship because what they think of intimacy and what he thinks don’t lineup.

This confirms what Janelle said in the 2nd part of the interview. Saying that Kody does blan his mouth about the other wives to the one he is with. So to say the wives are the only one bad mouthing each other is total BS. Also, I feel sorry for Truly and Savannah. He spends more time with Robyn’s kids and not so much with the other.

[@blu3622]

My first thought, regarding what Robyn said about Kody's needs 'affection wise', also went to sex. Robyn referring to Kody as her "best customer" made it seem like she sees their marriage as transactional.

[@laneneal3510]

Hit the nail on the head about Kody. Large child/adult tantrums. No ability to control his emotions. Child like selfishness. I’d love to hear how he was as a kid. Interview his mom.😛

"Bent over backwards" when you were referring to Robyn treating Kody like her best customer. I know it wasn't intentional, and I'm slightly mortified, but it made me giggle every time. ;)

[@wendyraye1]

I took the intimacy comment as meaning in the bedroom as well. I think for me was when she suggested that it made them "uncomfortable" I don't feel like any of the wives would be uncomfortable with non sex related intimacy. And yes the best customer and wet pencil comments are going to be remembered, they definitely make people very uncomfortable. I feel like these were quotes they thought up before the tell all and thought, "oh yeah, this will make me sound so clever and people will see it my way" but instead... yeah, uncomfortable for sure.

[@michellejones7999]

To be fair to Robyn in previous episodes meri said she told Kody not to come to the house anymore, Christine also said that when Kody came into her house he was coming into a hostile environment and Janelle said she wasn’t a person who needed affection she hated that lovey dovey stuff but knew Kody needed that but she didn’t.

[@ShhhandGiggles]

I think the more Kody visited those other polygamy families the more he questioned why his marriages were failing. He saw that the other wives appeared to respect their husband. They were considerate, respectful, and caring toward their sister wives (as far as the cameras showed. He liked what he heard). I truly believe he wished he was like the Joe Darger. He thought by going public he would be changing the world. He said so several times. But he didn't have the marriage that Joe did. He didn't have a "hold" of his wives like Joe did. He wasn't seen as the head of the family. And he didn't help decriminalized polygamy like that family did. He is sitting in a life of what he perceives as a failure and can't cope. He is a failed polygamist...his worst fear (not poverty as he would have people to believe). He has to find blame from those around him. Those who aren't subordinate to him. He can only blame the wives because they made his biggest fear come fruition. But on the other hand the Dargers aren't what they seem. And from what I've read on Reddit of someone who dated within that family, it sounds like Kody is definitely taking after Joe. I wonder what those convos have been like. it's just too bad he married strong willed women who have finally found their voices. Oopsies 🤭

pencils wet? How dare him talk about his sons like that! Kody goes to a wedding without a mask, victoria's secret and mall without a mask including Robin! Kody and Robin just wanted to get rid of the other wives and children by making up covid rules that they didn't even follow

[@gaillyons9156]

I have often wondered, if Cody had created his COVID protocols, in an effort to exclude his less favorite wives. I believe he made ever changing demands, and when he saw how it alienated his other families, he preferred it that way. He was able to secure time with his chosen relationships. Initially other wives struggled in the chaos of trying to understand what was expected of them. They finally got the ridiculous list of “rules” 8(?) months later. By then, and by Cody’s planning, the other family members could not, and/or would not entertain them. Cody then was able to use the small children, in his favored home, as the reasoning for his protocol’s. Cody began the pandemic by trying to keep everyone safe, and ended it with trying to keep Robins kids safe(the “little ones”)

[@violetraal5383]

I think it's Robyn's rules, to be honest. Robyn put herself and Solomon in the 'at risk' category and made these rules up to keep them ' safe' or separated. If you look at the first get- together the family had during Covid, it was Robyn trying to keep everyone separated, even Kody seem to forget that they had to socially distance. She was totally stressed out during that get- together.

[@Kiki-Kauai]

@@violetraal5383 EXACTLY! Robyn believes herself to be a fragile china doll. Or that’s how she expects to be treated. She’s the one that said Kody couldn’t be away from her little kids. She is absolutely the one that created the separation from the rest of the family. Yet she allowed her nanny access to their home. And without the same rules as the flipping family! Crazy. But funny how she believes none of us viewers remember. Lol

[@caroldavis5877]

Why do you think Robyn and Kody go shopping at Victoria's Secret? She takes care of his pencil.

[@hli1787]

This episode was a banger 😂😂😂 God, I love you two!

[@Mom29dogz]

The "best customer" comment actually broke my heart. If Kody is Robyn's customer, she is selling herself to him, and his expextations are for services paid for and rendered. Sex has been big business for many hundreds of years, and it still is. Selling sex has nothing to do with love or intimacy, it's purely physical and the seller is very often doing it for survival. Robyn has no means of supporting herself or her children without Kody?. I don't think she has many skills that she could parlay into a career, or even just a minimum wage job. She is caught in a nightmare of her own making. Her husband really is her best and only customer, and that gives him, a narcissistic, egomaniacal, delusional, raging, going-off-the-deep-end loser, all the power.

[@elainepowell5768]

In regards to Robyn's comments about "affection", I agree with you. I think she was talking about sex. It makes you wonder what kind of kinky things Kody is into. It could also help explain Robyn's anger towards the failing of the family- is she now left with the burden of Kody's sexual desires? I also believe that Kody controls the narrative. He probably tells Robyn that "so in so" won't do this, but if she is a good wife, she will. According to Christine, Kody cutting off intimacy was one of the reasons she gave for leaving so I don't buy Robyn's story.

[@joannaandblueskies9435]

[@cheekysaver]

I really wish they had played the Gabe clip saying why he no longer talks to his dad. That was the last convo Gabe had with him and Gabe was supposed to apologize? Ummm no. Kody is wrong on so many levels. No excuses...it is just that easy. That craptastic apology was not close to good enough. If any man does something that harms one of my kids like that... the only question is...how long will it take me to change the locks... set the timer.

[@alongfellow4147]

Kody doesn't deserve the kids Christine and Janelle gave him

[@MD-hellodarkness]

I always go back in my mind to an old episode where they're all together at one of their tell alls i believe. They were talking about how Robin would act like a damsel in distress. From the beginning she would call on him to fix xyz or do a task for her that she could clearly do herself but calls on him so felt needed. I believe. Where the other wives wouldn't because they didn't want to seem too needy because they thought he would feel resentment because of all the responsibilities he has with all the other wives. When i watched this it was like a Aahaaa....💡

[@OuraniaAthena]

I also thought that Robyn was talking about the bedroom because of Kody talking about earning favor and the interviewer had no idea what Robyn has done to earn favor. Then go to Robyn were she is saying that the other wives rejected Kody's affection or something that the other wives were uncomfortable with. Robyn rants about the other women's weight and stretch marks which means that Kody is sharing intimate details about the other wives with Robyn.

[@emeraldstanley5885]

When Robyn talked of others turning away from kody's affection, I thought of the episode when Janelle said she was uncomfortable with pda. That's what came to mind for me. However your take is very interesting too.

[@katherinenelson5905]

It was 1000% about sex, so many "keep sweet" type wording from both Kody and Robin.

[@sharonbrooks1847]

I agree with you. Robyn was talking about intimacy.

[@lindabecconsall6317]

Oddly... earlier in the Tell All, Kody is criticizing Christine for making him and alienating his children from him because he needs to be a Bad Man to attract another man. In the third installment, Kody is wishing that Christine finds someone to love her. Also, I agree with your wife about Robyn's comment. I think Robyn meant the other wives were too independent and didn't obey Kody. Also, Kody wants to be his wives' priority above everyone and everything.

[@vintage_violet]

That was so frickin weird and immature for him to say that. Christine wants and deserves to be cherished and loved for who she is and if that makes Ko-dick a bad man that's on him 😉

[@mrsmomstheword1]

My take on why Kody has changed from the seemingly happy go lucky goofy guy in the earlier episodes to this angry demanding man is this. 1. Three of the wives (Not Robyn) : In the early episodes his wives were happier, they were getting most of their needs met. They had irritations with Kody and the other wives, but were willing to work through them. As they found that Kody was not willing to work with them, but rather start demanding they fall in line and do what he wanted, no questions, and their (except Robyn) thoughts and feelings were dismissed they started to loose hope and slowly give up. During this time they were having to see the preferential treatment of Robyn, how her views and needs were priority to Kody, and how he didn't try to hide it from them. The wives gradually stopped stroking Kody's ego by showing the admiration for him, and found their voices in asking for what they wanted, and calling him out on his treatment of them and their children. He did not like this as in his mind he is perfect and how dare they say otherwise, so he started to further alienate each of them to punish them. Trying to justify his preferential treatment of Robyn. 2. The Kids (Not Robyn's) In the early episodes the kids were younger and in the stage where Kody was their hero. As they started developing their own personalities and voicing their thoughts and wishes, Kody felt threatened. Instead of embracing it, and he started pushing them away as they quit stroking his ego by fully admiring him. He got angrier and angrier as each of his wives and children set boundaries and expectations. In Kody's world , he should be able to treat each of them, anyway he wants, and they should consider themselves blessed that they are allowed in be in his presence. Summary :when the whole family was stroking his ego, they were all wonderful people....he was Happy.... As they quit... He got angrier!
