Sister Wives fans were shocked to learn that Kody Brown courted an underage girl in the past. The details of this courtship and its outcome have been a topic of discussion among viewers. It is important to note the number of wives Kody had at the time and how they reacted to this situation.
Questions have arisen regarding Kody Brown’s relationship with Robyn Brown’s eldest daughters, Aurora and Breanna. Some viewers have wondered if they are being groomed to become sister wives or if Kody simply has a closer bond with them because he spends more time at Robyn’s house. Currently, Kody has four wives, but he has admitted that some were not his top choices. His first wife, Meri Brown, was his young love, but problems arose soon after their marriage. Christine Brown Woolley, his third wife, came from a prominent church family, which influenced his decision to marry her. Although he was not physically attracted to Christine, he acknowledged her kind heart. Janelle Brown, his second wife, had previously been married to Meri’s brother, so they already had a strong friendship.
However, there was a period when Kody was courting a young girl, as revealed in the family’s bestselling book, “Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage.” A Reddit thread discussing this topic expressed disgust at the situation, particularly because Kody was around 23-24 years old at the time, and the idea of waiting for the girl to turn 18 before making things official raised red flags.
Sister Wives fans had mixed reactions after reading this excerpt. Some believed that it was not uncommon within the culture they belonged to since they were all very young at that point. Others found the situation inappropriate and vile. One person even compared Meri Brown to Ghislaine Maxwell, referencing the association with underage relationships.
The issue of lies within the book and throughout the series was also raised by some fans. They recalled Meri Brown mentioning, during a tell-all, that Kody started dating the underage girl shortly after they got married. The fans wanted to know the girl’s age when the courtship began and why the wedding was called off. Additionally, Christine Brown Woolley’s perceived lack of self-respect was highlighted. Some viewers expressed skepticism about the truthfulness of the information presented, indicating that the family has been known to lie.
Fans were shocked that the book was published in 2012 but still included references to the courtship of a minor. This led to the conclusion that the family may have a lack of shame or remorse over the situation.
