Kody Brown cemented that he felt betrayed by his spiritual spouse, Christine Brown, leaving him without any warning in Sister Wives season 16, but fans think Kody isn't being truthful about his knowledge of Christine's departure. During the season 16 tell-all special, Kody confessed that he was blindsided by Christine telling the other wives she planned to exit the plural marriage, but viewers have pointed out signs that Kody was savvier to Christine's split than he let on.
