SISTER Wives star Christine Brown claimed her husband Kody REFUSED to help her when she was “overwhelmed” when taking care of their family.
The 49-year-old confirmed that she and Kody had ended their marriage back in November 2021.
In a clip from a recent episode of Sister Wives, Christine reflected on being a “basement wife.”
She said: “I didn’t know, at that time, about basement wives. I didn’t know that it was anything.”
As the “basement wife,” Christine believed she was at the bottom of the totem pole when it came to Kody’s wives.
Kody, 53, is also married to Meri, 51, Janelle, 52, and Robyn, 43.
Reflecting on her standing in the Brown family, Christine continued: “I chose to just let it happen and I chose to be weaker.”
She admitted it was “easier” to be weak, though she “lost herself” in the process.

The Sister Wives star continued: “I put everybody first most of the time. I put whatever Kody needed aside.”
Christine said she acted as the “peacemaker,” which left her “running on empty.”
She then reflected on the conversation she had with Kody about asking for help, which he wasn’t willing to do.
Kody argued that she had gone back on their “agreements,” which includes the idea that family always comes first.
THE SPLIT
Christine confirmed she left Kody following months of split rumors.
She released a statement on social media and said: “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave.”
Their split is being documented on the current season of the TLC show, which has given insight into how Kody and the other wives feel about Christine’s decision.
During a recent teaser, Robyn discussed Christine’s departure and told viewers while sobbing: “I don’t see why giving up is an option when you haven’t actually tried.”
CHRISTINE’S BETRAYL?
Additionally, Kody had spoken up about Christine’s supposed “betrayal” in an episode.
During a confessional, the Brown patriarch said he was unsure Christine’s split was “a phase or if this is just awakening.”
He claimed that she had “been telling wives and adult children that she wants to leave me for years.”
Kody argued that she had allegedly “murdered our intimacy with betrayal.”
As the episode aired, fans rushed to Twitter to slam Kody for the comments.
Several followers picked Christine’s side and argued that Kody was “playing the victim.”
