SISTER Wives star Christine Brown opened up about how she “hated” that husband Kody didn’t shower in her bathroom.
The 48-year-old revealed the painful part of her marriage to Kody, 52, was the reason she doesn’t want to live under one roof as a plural family.
Christine is one of Kody’s four wives, and she voiced how she felt that time was being disproportionately spent at fellow with Robyn’s house.
Explaining why she refuses to live with Kody in PEOPLE’s sneak peak at this weekend’s episode of Sister Wives, she said: “I’m not doing it again.
“I’m not going to put myself in the situation where my kids’ needs aren’t met. I’m just not going to do it.”
Sitting down with Robyn, she recalls when the time before Robyn joined the family and it was just the three wives: Christine, Meri and Janelle.
Christine detailed how there was a “back door” entrance for him and accused him of “never settling” at the home.
She said: “I don’t feel like it was Kody’s hous. Kody would come in, dump all of his stuff at Meri’s house or Janelle’s – never settle in mine.”
According to Christine, Kody never showered at the home, which became a point of contention for her.
“He wouldn’t shower — he didn’t want to shower there,” Christine added, “finally bringing it up to him” prior to Robyn joining the family.
She recalled: “I said: “‘When you marry Robyn, you’re going to shower at her house.’ And he’s like, ‘Well, yeah.’ Then I said, ‘Then I need you showering here.'”
She told Robyn how Kody’s excuse was that “Meri’s shower was better” and that she felt hurt because she tried to make “her home their home.”
Though Christine admitted Kody eventually did start showering in her bathroom, she believes the change happened because Robyn brought it up.
She told the cameras: “I mentioned it a lot over the years, and he didn’t change it and didn’t change it and didn’t change it, and it wasn’t until Robyn was coming into the family that he changed it.
“I hated it. It really, really bothered me. That was the fourth year we were living there, and he still didn’t shower there.”
Bemused having “never discussed” the issue with Christina, Meri said she knew it had been “a problem.”
Meri clarified: “Honestly, it was nothing that ever came from me. I never asked Kody to shower at my house, I didn’t care where he showered.”
Kody recalled events differently, and concluded by dubbing Christine’s “memories” as just “not true,” adding, “I showered at her house a lot.”
He explained that he showered more often at Meri’s in the morning because she “would be going to work.”
He added: “Then I would have breakfast every morning at Christine’s house before I went to work, so I felt like I was balancing out something in the relationship.”
Kody slammed Christine for “twisting past experiences” and using them as a reason for “not wanting to be in one home.”
He said: “It’s not about the one home thing — it’s about how she has twisted our past and made it negative.”
It comes shortly after Christine revealed she has “enemies” as fans speculate that she’s snubbed wife Meri who is trying to “sabotage” her marriage to Kody.
In a short trailer clip, Christine says: “Flagstaff has been a huge reset,” before adding “I think I have enemies.”
Later, Robyn says to the confessional camera: “She’s actually trying to sabotage your relationship with Kody. You can’t trust her.”
Speculating on who the two sister wives are talking about, fans on the official Sister Wives Facebook page discussed the drama.
One wrote: “I wonder if Meri is trying to sabotage her relationship with Kody and her other sister wives so she can officially be out, although she’s not even legally married to Kody anymore. Don’t know why she doesn’t just leave.”
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10pm ET on TLC
