Fans have been accusing Sister Wives patriarch Kody Brown of prioritizing his youngest wife over others. As of now, his relationships with Meri, Janelle, and Christine are far more damaged than that with Robyn. Well, he’s been previously called out for mistreating his older wives due to his lust over the fourth one. In fact, he’s currently in a legal marriage only with Robyn Brown. Sources say that his favoritism towards one wife is the reason behind the show’s dropped rating. If this keeps on for long, the reality TV show might lose a large portion of its audience. Here are all the details you should know.
Sister Wives: Robyn Is Kody’s ‘Favorite’ Wife, Which Has Decreased The Show’s Viewership
People have pointed out that the head of the huge Brown family values his youngest wife over everyone else. When people call him out, Kody defends Robyn as much as he can. In fact, in one of the recent episodes, the polygamist said he’s no more an advocate of plural marriages. Given that he’s been married to multiple brides for nearly 30 years now, his statement was hard to digest for his wives and fans alike. Aside from hurting and mistreating his other wives, Kody’s behavior has also decreased the ratings of TLC’s popular show Sister Wives.
According to a recent report by TheSun, the reality TV show’s viewership has dropped a million per episode. While Season 14 gathered as high as 2.39 million people viewers, the current season has fallen to 1.56 million. Since fans are upset with Kody’s recent behavior, the official rating has also dropped by a significant number. If this keeps on happening, Sister Wives might soon lose its dedicated audience.
Kody’s Relationships With Other Brides Are Messed Up
We all know that the Sister Wives patriarch’s relationship with Meri is almost ‘Dead.’ Kody has previously accepted that he doesn’t even put in efforts with his first bride anymore. He’s also talked about his preference for the other three wives over Meri. Moreover, fans are already distressed over his constant insults directed at her.
On the other hand, even Christine has revealed that she isn’t comfortable with the polygamous nature of their relationship and struggles with jealousy. The third wife pointed out that Kody doesn’t spend time with her family. Even when he does, he’s always on the phone. To this, the husband replies that he does this on purpose to separate from the angst in their relationship. Whereas, Janelle has been mistreated the most these days. Viewers have noticed a significant difference between the second bride’s house and that of Robyn’s. Kody Brown has also disrespected Janelle in some of the recent episodes.
Sister Wives: Fans Slam Kody For Spending Most Of The Time With Robyn
A lot of fans have noticed that Kody spends way too much time with Robyn and neglects other Sister Wives. Some rumors during the coronavirus pandemic say that the polygamist quarantined with the fourth wife and their children. Viewers also noticed that Kody was with Robyn for Thanksgiving while Meri, Janelle, and Christine were along with their kids. Kody Brown’s favoritism has been frowned upon for too long. However, dedicated fans are still hopeful that he’ll soon get on track with his other relationships as well.
