Instead, over the years,Sister Wivescame to chronicle the dissolution of the Brown family.
By the end ofSister Wivesseason 18,three of Kody’s four wives had walked away from the plural family. 52-year-old Christine Brown was the first to leave, followed by Janelle Brown, 55, and Meri, 53, leaving Kody in an accidentally monogamous relationship with his fourth wife, 45-year-old Robyn Brown. With a new season just around the corner, viewers are sure to learn more about the fallout from the downfall of the Brown family.
