00:00 I want to spend some time hating her.
00:03 Cody Brown is the ultimate hater
00:05 in the season premiere of "Sister Wives."
00:07 The TLC reality series returned
00:09 for its 18th season August 20th.
00:12 And in the premiere episode, which was filmed before
00:14 two of Cody's three remaining marriages also disintegrated,
00:18 Cody gave fans an update as to where he and his wife
00:20 stood at the time.
00:22 I don't even know how to describe it.
00:26 Christine moved me out of her house a year ago.
00:30 And she said we were divorced.
00:32 And basically, that's been months now.
00:36 Mary and I have infrequent interactions.
00:39 We talk about what's going on.
00:41 I haven't functioned in a marriage-like relationship
00:43 for about seven or eight years.
00:45 It's been a long time.
00:48 Things with Janelle and I are pretty strained.
00:50 It's like I can't figure this out because I'm so upset.
00:55 The holidays are coming up.
00:56 I don't know what we're going to do for the holidays.
00:59 The family's not talking.
01:01 In the app, Christine confides in fellow sister wife Janelle
01:04 about how Cody feels her exit from the relationship
01:06 has put a big strain on the remaining fam.
01:09 Is me leaving Cody causing any problems?
01:13 Like he told me like, you're breaking up the family
01:16 and it's your fault.
01:17 Whoa.
01:18 That we're splitting.
01:18 Is it?
01:20 No, I don't think so.
01:21 He's angry.
01:22 I think he's just angry and hurt.
01:23 He's really angry.
01:24 And he admits that, that he's really angry.
01:26 Okay.
01:27 Cody told me I was breaking up the family.
01:29 Like it's my fault that the family's breaking up.
01:33 Dude, if my relationship with my sister wives is up to me
01:38 and it's my fault that I have a bad relationship
01:40 with my sister wives, why isn't it your fault
01:44 if you have a bad relationship with your children?
01:47 Later, when Cody and Christine sit down together
01:49 to talk about their daughter, Truly, and their split,
01:52 Cody gets brutally honest about his feelings
01:54 towards her.
01:55 I don't really know how I feel about meeting her for lunch.
01:59 I'm not feeling like I'm in a great place.
02:02 Seeing Christine for the first time is like,
02:04 hey, how are you?
02:06 Well, it's a little uncomfortable,
02:07 but hope you're doing well.
02:09 I feel so betrayed after all that I have done
02:13 for this marriage and then to have her sort of
02:15 talk me to the kids.
02:17 I kind of feel like in my heart,
02:20 I just never want to see her again.
02:23 I want to spend some time hating her.
02:27 As for Christine, she's taking more
02:28 of a live, laugh, love approach to Cody's drama.
02:31 Gwendolyn's not gonna be here for Christmas.
02:34 I was sick during her birthday,
02:36 was laid up with COVID.
02:38 You were also out of it.
02:40 Was she thinking that was funny too?
02:42 I was out of my mind, but when I talk about getting
02:44 anxiety, Christine, and depression.
02:45 I know, and I'm sorry to even laugh a little bit,
02:47 but Gwendolyn was like, yeah.
02:49 You mean that way, it's okay.
02:51 (laughing)
02:53 I was married to him for 27 years, all right?
02:56 Every time that guy got sick,
02:57 it was like the whole world revolved around his being sick.
03:01 Her description of you is what's funny.
03:03 What are you gonna do?
03:04 Like you can either laugh about things
03:06 or cry about things, and if you can't look back
03:07 with a sense of humor, what a waste.
03:10 I was in the fetal position on the floor sobbing.
03:12 Well, I'm not laughing.
03:14 I'm not laughing here.
03:15 I'm not laughing.
03:16 I haven't been laughing with her leaving.
03:18 I've never been laughing about this thing.
03:20 She asked me to stop staying at her place.
03:22 I wasn't laughing then.
03:24 She moved my stuff into the garage.
03:25 I wasn't laughing then.
03:26 She left with Truly, and she left early.
03:29 I wasn't laughing then.
03:31 I've never been laughing about this.
03:33 I'm not married to him anymore.
03:35 So freaking awesome.
03:37 Christine, who is now engaged to fiance, David Woolley,
03:39 announced she was leaving her plural relationship
03:42 with Cody in 2021.
