In a bombshell development on Sister Wives, Christine Brown is finally lifting the veil on the truth behind Cody Brown’s actions—revealing lies, neglect, and emotional wounds that TLC’s cameras didn’t fully capture. Fans who have watched the show for years have seen tensions simmer, but now Christine is taking a bold stand against her ex-husband, exposing details that challenge the carefully curated image he’s presented on screen.
For years, Cody Brown’s controversial lifestyle choices and emotional inconsistencies have caused waves in his polygamous family, but one of the most heartbreaking aspects was his growing distance from several of his older children—especially when the family relocated to Flagstaff. Cody’s attention noticeably centered on Robyn and her children, leaving many of his other kids feeling abandoned. That fracture deepened when the family was struck by tragedy with the death of Garrison Brown. Instead of uniting the family, Garrison’s passing only highlighted the chasm between Cody and his older kids.
Christine, however, is not staying silent. She’s not only defending her children—she’s actively working to hold Cody accountable, even taking legal action. In a recent court battle, Christine and Cody found themselves locked in a dispute over child support for their youngest daughter, Truly. After months of legal wrangling that began when Christine filed for paternity, custody, and support in 2023, the two reached a settlement. While details remain limited, insiders confirm that Cody has now submitted documentation showing his financial capability to support Truly. Still, it’s clear that this agreement doesn’t erase the emotional damage already done.
Christine’s daughter, Mykelti (Michael T. Brown), recently went live on social media and dropped a bombshell of her own—speaking candidly about how her father’s actions have hurt his older children. She expressed frustration at how Cody often paints all of his kids with the same broad brush, failing to see them as individuals and generalizing his criticisms. Mykelti made it clear: if Cody wants to heal his fractured relationships, he needs to own his past words and actions, especially those that have wounded the very people he claims to love.
Cody’s relationship with Truly has been especially strained. Longtime Sister Wives fans will recall how awkward their interactions often felt on screen—forced hugs, stiff conversations, and a lack of emotional connection. Christine has previously pointed out that Cody wasn’t even present or supportive during Truly’s birth, a moment that nearly cost Christine her life. That absence may have been the beginning of the end for their spiritual union.
Despite the heartbreak, Christine has forged a new, vibrant chapter in her life. She officially separated from Cody in November 2021 after over 25 years of marriage. Now, she’s remarried to David Woolley, and their story is playing out in the current season of Sister Wives. Still, not everyone is thrilled with how often she references Cody. Some viewers speculate that Christine is being encouraged—or even pressured—by producers to keep Cody in the conversation, since drama surrounding him remains a central element to the show’s success.
Christine, meanwhile, has built a new life far from the shadow of her past. She’s become a successful influencer, collaborating on product endorsements and representing health and wellness brands alongside Janelle and Maddie. Gardening, fitness, and a new marriage fill her days now, and she’s visibly thriving. Her weight loss journey and personal glow-up have impressed many fans who cheered her on from the sidelines.
Still, Christine’s continued presence on the show—and her willingness to talk about Cody—has raised questions. Some fans suspect that her participation is driven more by contractual obligations and financial considerations than personal interest. With speculation swirling about whether Sister Wives will give the ex-wives their own spin-offs, Christine may be playing the long game. After all, she’s one of the franchise’s most popular figures, and she brings in big numbers for TLC. 
Interestingly, Christine’s departure may have saved Sister Wives from cancellation. Her dramatic exit, public happiness, and subsequent remarriage have injected fresh life into the series, which some fans felt had lost its original purpose. Now that the focus has shifted from plural marriage to post-divorce drama, viewers have remained hooked.
Christine and Cody share six children: Paedon, Aspyn, Mykelti, Gwendlyn, Isabelle, and Truly. Many of them are now adults, navigating life beyond the chaos of polygamy. Christine is already a grandmother and finds joy in her expanding family. From celebrating Mykelti and Tony’s twins, Archer and Ace, to watching Aspyn prepare for motherhood, Christine’s life is rich with love and support—unlike the loneliness she once felt in her marriage to Cody.
As for the other former wives, Janelle is building her dream home in North Carolina near daughter Maddie, while Meri is engaging fans through social media and hinting at a tell-all book. Whether TLC decides to extend the Sister Wives universe with spin-offs remains to be seen, but fans are clearly invested in following Christine’s journey post-Cody.
In a recent interview, Christine reflected on her decision to leave, stating that she didn’t want to repeat the last decade of her life. That decision has proven transformational—not just for her, but for the show itself. Christine’s courage in speaking out, fighting for her children, and building a new life has turned her into one of the series’ most empowering figures. And as more truths come to light about Cody’s past behavior, viewers are finally seeing the real story—beyond what TLC once chose to show.
