Sister Wives Stars Allege Kody Brown Narcissism, Favoritism Disputes Surface

In the recent episodes of Sister Wives' one-on-one specials, Robyn Brown confirmed she is Kody Brown's favorite wife by revealing she gets to use the luggage rack during trips, a point of contention for other wives. Janelle Brown has been vocal about her troubled relationship with Kody, describing a pattern of "love bombing" followed by neglect, which she associates with narcissistic behavior, although she stops short of diagnosing him. She emphasized that Kody's behavior fits the cycle often exhibited by narcissists, involving cycles of excessive flattery and emotional manipulation. Janelle also criticized Kody's management of family finances and suggested the failure of multiple marriages lies with him, noting that plural marriage in their faith requires the husband to maintain all relationships, a role she believes Kody failed. Despite her harsh views, Janelle clarified she is not a mental health professional but believes Kody exhibits many traits resembling narcissism. Fans have reacted strongly to Robyn's comments, accusing her of dismissing other wives' feelings and enjoying asserting superiority.
