TEA!! Christine Woolley REVEALS Kody Brown Was HATEFUL to Gwendlyn & Partner | Sister Wives Spoilers

When it comes to Sister Wives, fans often hear endless updates about Kody Brown, Robyn, and the fractured plural marriage—but far less attention has been given to one of Christine Brown Woolley’s daughters, Gwendlyn Brown. Her story has largely unfolded quietly, away from the spotlight, and that silence has only made recent revelations hit harder. Now, thanks to Christine’s candid memoir Sister Wife, long-simmering tensions are finally bubbling to the surface, and the tea is scorching.

Gwendlyn’s life milestones haven’t followed the usual Sister Wives playbook. While viewers were made aware that she got engaged and eventually married, her actual wedding never aired on the show. Instead, the only on-camera celebration was her engagement party—a night meant to be joyful, affirming, and full of love. Ironically, that same night would become the stage for one of the most uncomfortable and revealing family moments yet, especially when it came to Kody Brown’s behavior toward his own child and her partner.

At the time of the engagement party, Gwendlyn was engaged to her partner Bea. Since then, their relationship has evolved, and Bea has transitioned and is now known as Ben. Christine makes it clear in her book that she fully embraces and respects this journey, consistently referring to Gwendlyn’s partner as Ben. For Christine, there’s nothing controversial about it—just love, acceptance, and pride in her child. But according to her account, not everyone in the family shared that same energy.

In Sister Wife, Christine admits she wrestled with whether to include this particular story. She stayed up late one night, torn over whether revealing it would do more harm than good. In the end, she decided the truth mattered. Chapter 39 pulls back the curtain on what should have been one of the happiest nights of Gwendlyn and Ben’s lives—and how Kody nearly ruined it.

Christine describes the engagement party as absolutely beautiful. Gwendlyn and Ben were glowing, clearly meant for each other, and deserving of a magical evening. Yet looming over the celebration was one burning question: would Kody even show up? According to Christine, Kody initially told Gwendlyn he wasn’t going to attend. This devastated her. She cried, reminding him that he was her dad, hoping that might soften his heart. Instead, Kody responded with chilling cruelty, telling her not to “manipulate” him with her tears.

That moment alone speaks volumes. A daughter pleading for her father’s presence on one of the biggest nights of her life was met not with reassurance or compassion, but with accusation and emotional dismissal. Christine writes that this exchange made her furious beyond words.

Eventually, Kody decided he would attend the party—but even that came with complications. Once producers found out, they insisted the event had to be filmed if Kody was present. Christine pushed back hard. She argued that not every intimate family moment should be turned into television content, especially one so personal. She insisted the choice belonged to Gwendlyn alone. In the end, Gwendlyn agreed to let the cameras roll, and filming moved forward.

What followed was painfully awkward. Christine recounts how the family was arranged into a stiff, uncomfortable “horseshoe” formation so the cameras could capture the moment Kody met David Woolley, Christine’s new partner. The tension was thick, and everyone could feel it. McKelti, ever the peacemaker, tried to lighten the mood by joking and encouraging introductions.

In one especially telling exchange, Kody commented to David that he’d heard David was spending time with his grandkids. The implication hung in the air. McKelti quickly jumped in, clarifying that David even babysits the kids alone sometimes, emphasizing that he’s trusted and loved by the family. She was clearly trying to signal unity and reassurance—that this wasn’t a threat, but a family expanding in healthy ways.

Christine, being herself, leaned into that moment of defiance and tenderness. She rested her head on David’s shoulder, offering him a small but meaningful gesture of affection. It was subtle, but powerful—an unspoken declaration that she was happy, secure, and unafraid.

As the night wound down, Kody prepared to leave. This was his moment to rise to the occasion, to offer words of love, support, or pride to his daughter and her partner. Instead, his farewell landed like a slap. Turning to Ben, Kody said, “Welcome to the family,” followed by a warning to “watch out” for Gwendlyn. No congratulations. No praise. No acknowledgment of their love or commitment. Just a backhanded remark that reduced Gwendlyn to a joke rather than honoring her strength, intelligence, and individuality.

Christine writes that this moment shattered her. She was heartbroken and enraged that Kody couldn’t see Gwendlyn for the incredible, dynamic person she is—especially on the night of her engagement. Rather than celebrating his child, he diminished her.

The emotional weight of this incident goes far beyond one awkward party. Christine reflects deeply on how divorce impacts children. She recalls her own experience as a young adult when her mother left and how deeply it affected her. She worried endlessly about how her kids would cope with the family falling apart. Yet, she’s seen them thrive in one crucial way: they love seeing her happy. They’ve watched her reclaim joy, confidence, and peace—and that matters.

What’s impossible to ignore is the growing pattern in Kody’s behavior. Fans have watched his relationships with many of his children deteriorate over the years. Moments like this engagement party help explain why. It’s not just the divorce that caused estrangement—it’s the repeated emotional wounds inflicted by their father’s words and actions.

Christine’s revelations have sent shockwaves through the fandom. Viewers are stunned that she went this far, spilling such raw and unfiltered tea. But many also feel validated. For years, fans have sensed something deeply wrong in Kody’s interactions with his kids, especially those who don’t align with his expectations or worldview.

The remark about tears being “manipulative” has struck a particular nerve. Fans can’t help but wonder: would Kody ever speak that way to Robyn? Many doubt it. The consensus among viewers is that Robyn holds a very different position in Kody’s emotional hierarchy—and that difference has been painfully obvious to the rest of the family.

Christine doesn’t mince words in how she interprets the damage. She suggests that her children aren’t just traumatized by a divorce, but by years of emotional neglect and hurtful behavior from their father. Watching him fail them again and again has left scars that can’t be brushed aside.

For many fans, this is the final nail in the coffin of Kody Brown’s image as a patriarch. The man who once preached family unity now appears disconnected, dismissive, and cruel. Christine’s story paints a picture of a father who consistently chooses control over compassion—and who pays the price through estranged relationships with his own children.

As painful as these revelations are, Christine believes they needed to be shared. The truth, she insists, deserves daylight. Only by hearing these stories can people form an honest understanding of who Kody Brown really is behind the cameras.

And if this is just one chapter of what Christine has chosen to reveal, fans can’t help but wonder what other truths are still waiting to come out. One thing is certain: the tea is hot, the emotions are real, and the Sister Wives saga is far from over. Stay tuned—because if this revelation is any indication, there’s a lot more still to come. 🍵🔥
