I wasn’t mean. I wasn’t mean to anybody. I didn’t know I’d been shunning Robyn like [they] said I was doing. I didn’t know I’d been doing those things. I didn’t try to do anything like that.”
Janelle and Christine have each been open about how they really feel Kody treats Robyn higher than the opposite wives. “I perceive that he’s a little bit myopic when it comes to Robyn and her hurt and her perspective and experience in this versus everybody else’s,” Janelle shared. Robyn additionally admitted that she discovered issues to be “difficult” with Christine when she first got here into the household. “It was snarky comments, not including me in things, kind of letting me know how things were going to go and pulling rank,” Robyn defined. “It was hard in the beginning.”
During his meltdown, Kody additionally claimed that Christine had talked and complained about Janelle and Meri simply as a lot as she did about Robyn through the years. Christine defended that in her one-on-one. “If I was frustrated with someone [I would vent to Kody],” she mentioned. “That’s not new. He did the same thing. Not with Robyn, he never complained about Robyn, but he would complain about Meri and Janelle all the time to me. I thought we were just complaining about people to each other. He accuses me of being mean? I’m not a mean person. Me venting to him is being mean to my sister wives? That’s ridiculous!”
In Kody’s one-on-one interview, he defined what pissed off him essentially the most about Christine’s resolution to go away him. Kody admitted that Christine placing the entire blame on him is what made him essentially the most offended. “I’m fine if she’s like, ‘I’m not a fit here, I gotta move on,’” Kody mentioned. “But what she’s actually doing is s*** talking me. Breaking up a marriage when you’re not in love? I get it. But to assuage her guilt, she has blamed me for everything, including to her children and to Janelle’s kids. And as a result, combined with COVID issues, those relationships have now been pulled away from me. She’s trying to assuage her guilt by saying I’m a bad man.”

However, Robyn mentioned the space was strictly due to COVID, and insisted she would have hugged Christine if the pandemic wasn’t nonetheless in impact. Still, she had combined emotions about Christine as she mentioned goodbye. “It’s hard because I was standing there with the knowledge that Christine didn’t want a relationship with me or my kids,” Robyn defined. “Like, why am I saying goodbye if she doesn’t want this? I wanted to show up so that she could see that, even with all this rejection and her leaving, that no matter what, I was still there.”
Robyn mentioned that she’d be “willing” to get again to a greater place with Christine, however admitted that the onus falls on Christine to get them there. “I want real relationships with all of these ladies,” Robyn mentioned, by tears. “Before I even fell in love with Kody, I fell in love with the family and the culture of one big happy family. It’s something that I’m mourning all the time because they took it away from me. It feels really unfair. I feel angry. I’m angry at them all. I would have never chosen this if I had the power that everyone thinks I have. I feel cheated.”
Robyn additionally identified that she’s taken quite a lot of the blame from the opposite girls for issues that aren’t her fault. “I jokingly refer to myself as Kody’s whipping boy,” she shared. “When he does something they don’t like, I get blamed. Maybe it’s because I’m an easy target and I have a tendency to just take it and not get jerky about it. I don’t fight.” The one-on-one specials will proceed with the third and closing episode on Jan. 8.
