Just when you thought the Sister Wives Tell-All couldn’t get any messier, Part 4 dropped like a Kody Brown ego bomb. From clapbacks to confessions to post-divorce bitterness, the final installment of Season 19’s Tell-All confirmed one thing: this Brown family is done pretending everything’s okay. With Christine Brown officially moved on, Janelle Brown finding her voice, and Meri Brown finally exiting the emotional waiting room, the Brown family dynamic is shattered. And what’s left are the raw, unfiltered truths that have been simmering under the surface for years.
David Woolley claps back at Kody Brown’s polygamy take
It’s official, David Woolley is my new favorite person. The man is not here for Kody’s revisionist history. Christine’s new man made his first real Tell-All appearance count, and fans were living for it. When Kody tried to frame his failed marriages as proof that “polygamy doesn’t work,” David stepped in with a calm but pointed reality check. David hit the nail on the head during his short interview, noting. Kody always wanted tension and fighting between the wives. That way, it always covered up what he was actually doing. If they were fighting amongst each other, Kody’s behavior wasn’t addressed. Christine’s husband had deep thoughts about polygamy. He noted, “The men ruin them. Absolutely ruin them. My older sisters ran from it.” David noted he was nervous at first to date Christine due to her past, but then found his “diamond in the rough.”
David was clearly tired of Kody blaming the entire lifestyle instead of taking responsibility for how he handled it. It was the kind of moment fans have been waiting for someone to call out Kody’s martyr complex without screaming or storming off. David didn’t just defend Christine; he subtly reminded everyone that the collapse of the Brown family wasn’t because of the structure, it was because of the man running it. David doesn’t say much, but he certainly had a great point there.
Janelle Brown wouldn’t have married Kody
In one of the most gut-punching moments of the episode, Janelle revealed that if she could turn back time, she wouldn’t have married Kody. The confession was raw, honest, and surprisingly emotionless. Janelle admitted, “If I had a year with Kody, I’m not sure I would have married him, honestly.” She revealed to host Sukanya Krishnan, “I might have seen him for a little bit more of who he was, you know what I mean? Gotten sort of off the charm ride.” Sister Wives fans have long praised Janelle for being the most level-headed, but this moment showed just how much emotional labor she put into holding the family together and how little she got in return.
She didn’t bash Kody. She didn’t play victim. Janelle just owned her choices and acknowledged that she made them based on loyalty, faith, and a version of Kody that no longer exists. The mother of six added, “Regardless, I don’t need to go back and trash everything that was. If I were to say, ‘Oh, I’m really sorry I did all that,’ would I be in this great place?” As for his long courtship with Robyn, Janelle had one message. “It is not really appropriate for a married man to have a long courtship. They actually courted, I think, for almost a year.”
Kody Brown thinks his wife became mean after divorce
If there’s one thing Kody refuses to do, it’s take accountability. And in Part 4 of the Sister Wives Tell-All, he delivered yet another classic Kodyism. He blamed his ex-wives for “changing” after leaving him. “I wouldn’t have started out mean, but when they left they got mean. I was counter-punching, I felt like. In the end, it’s like move on and be happy,” he said with a straight face. The idea that years of neglect, gaslighting, and emotional abandonment weren’t enough to make anyone a little bitter was laughable.
Die-hard fans know Christine didn’t get mean. She got honest. Janelle didn’t “change.” She started setting boundaries. And Meri? She finally stopped waiting to be chosen by a man who had already moved on emotionally years ago. Kody’s comment says more about his inability to handle strong, independent women than it does about his exes. What he sees as “mean” is just years of suppressed resentment finally coming to the surface. And for the first three wives, it’s long overdue.
Sister Wives is available to stream on TLC.
