Kody Brown Wanted Multiple Wives For All The Wrong Reasons?
Kody Brown seemed very proud to introduce the world to his three wives when Sister Wives began in 2010. He was even more like a giddy school girl to show off courting his fourth wife Robyn. Yet, did he enter plural marriage for all the wrong reasons? Why exactly is he a polygamist after all of these years?
Kody Brown, A Later Life Polygamist
Three out of four of Kody’s wives were born into polygamy. Yet he was not and it was something both he and his father went into later in life. Kody was around 19/20 when he decided this was the lifestyle for him. He met and married Meri in 1990 and they knew that they would eventually take on more wives. His second wife Janelle had been in their lives for years since she was married to Meri’s brother. Interestingly enough, her mother, Sheryl ended up marrying Kody’s father and becoming his second wife. This happened prior to Kody marrying Janelle in 1993. She would be the only one of Kody’s four wives who was not raised in polygamy, much like Kody.
In 1994, he married his third wife Christine and in 2010, he married his fourth and final wife, Robyn. Life changed dramatically the year after he married Robyn. The Browns had gone public with their lifestyle and there was a lot of fear that Kody would be arrested for his beliefs. They ended up escaping from Utah to Las Vegas where the three original wives no longer lived under one roof. Everyone had their own homes which allowed the kids to still be close but the wives had their own autonomy. Yet for Kody, he started to prefer one wife over the others and his marriages began to suffer.
All The Wrong Reasons, What Are The Right Ones?
In a clip that has resurfaced on Reddit, a younger Kody Brown from the early days of the show is talking about who he really is. He is attempting to say that he just wants to have fun. That he is a party boy with his “four girls” as he refers to them when asked if he is a playboy. Did he just want multiple wives for the cool factor? Is that why he initially entered polygamy? One Redditor had his to say: ” “…more like a party boy with my four girls…” WTF. So, help me to understand this. It isn’t about religious beliefs and living something called (misleadingly), “the principle”?????”
Another added: “Party boy with 4 show girls….so he’s admitting he has 4 wives just to impress people with how many wives he has. The wives were for show until Sobyn came along.” Essentially, he took all that he tried to portray on the show as this great family man and twisted it into being a cool cat. Whether or not it was all an act, the world may never know. No one may ever really know the genuine Kody.
Do you think Kody wanted multiple wives for love or for show? Let us know in the comments below.

I think Kody does it for the attention (from the women and the fame/notoriety); and now for the money. He craves the validation of many. Reminds me of 2 particular personality disorders. I would run from him- wow!!
