‘Sister Wives’ Fans Turn On Christine Brown Over Her Bizarre Relationship With David Woolley
Sister Wives star Christine Brown has found herself at the center of fan backlash as she embraces a new chapter in her life following her split from Kody Brown.
After leaving Kody in November 2021, Christine’s transformation — both physically and emotionally — has been hard to miss. She’s lost weight, found success as a social media influencer, and, by 2023, entered into a relationship with David Woolley. The couple quickly became engaged in April 2023 and married in October 2023, but Christine’s public displays of joy, including frequent social media posts, have led some viewers to accuse her of seeking attention.
Christine’s Life After Kody
Christine’s separation from Kody was a major turning point. The couple, who shared six children and had been together for 25 years, ended their spiritual marriage after Kody admitted on Sister Wives that he was never physically attracted to Christine and felt he was simply fulfilling his duties as a polygamist. Christine, deeply affected by this, chose to leave Kody and start a new chapter in her life.
In the wake of her split, Christine underwent a noticeable transformation. She lost weight, began building a career as a social media influencer, and, by late 2022, was ready to enter the dating world again. She met David Woolley in October 2022, and by April 2023, the couple was engaged. They married in October 2023, with over 300 guests in attendance, but notably, Kody and his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, were not invited to the wedding.
Backlash Over Christine’s Public Displays of Affection
While many fans have supported Christine’s newfound happiness, some have grown critical of her constant public displays of joy, especially with David. Christine and David often post affectionate pictures and videos, showcasing their love for each other both on social media and during Sister Wives episodes. Some fans find this over-the-top and uncomfortable to watch. A Reddit user, @apartmentNo3272, wrote, “physically uncomfortable watching Christine and David,” referring to their public displays of affection.
Many viewers feel Christine may be rushing into her new relationship too quickly, labeling David as her “soulmate” soon after ending her marriage with Kody. Some critics have also expressed that her constant sharing of personal moments is more about seeking attention than truly celebrating her new life. These public acts, while undeniably filled with affection, have created mixed feelings among fans.
David’s Reluctance to Appear on TV
While Christine seems eager to share her relationship with David on Sister Wives, David has expressed reluctance about being in the spotlight. In an interview with People, David admitted that he “never wanted to be on camera” and described feeling unprepared for the media attention. “I was thrown to the wolves,” he said, acknowledging his discomfort with becoming a public figure.
Despite David’s hesitations, Christine appears excited about introducing him to the Sister Wives audience. She said she wanted viewers to see David’s “genuine” personality, but the couple has expressed some differences when it comes to filming. David’s reluctance to be on camera could create tension, as Christine seems insistent on showcasing their relationship. If David grows increasingly uncomfortable with filming, this could cause issues in their relationship, which some feel is based heavily on physical attraction.
Christine’s Social Media: Taunting Kody?
Another point of contention is Christine’s social media activity, particularly her posts that seem to mock her ex-husband, Kody. While it’s clear that Christine is moving on and finding happiness with David, some fans believe she’s using her new relationship to taunt Kody. Christine frequently posts photos and videos with David that emphasize their closeness, and in one recent post, she shared a caption that some fans interpreted as a dig at Kody.
“In a world with a million choices, I hope you choose your own happiness first,” Christine wrote in a video shared with her followers. Though she didn’t name Kody directly, many viewers felt the post reflected her feelings about her failed marriage and Kody’s current relationship with Robyn. It seems that Christine is keen to highlight her happiness, often at the expense of her ex-husband, which has led to accusations that she’s trying to rub her new life in Kody’s face.
Moving Forward: Christine’s Focus on Herself
Despite the criticism, Christine continues to focus on her happiness and self-discovery. In interviews and social media posts, she’s emphasized the importance of prioritizing her own well-being. She’s celebrated her personal growth and newfound independence since leaving Kody, and her transformation has become a central part of her narrative. She has used her platform to encourage others to choose their happiness and not settle for less than they deserve.
While Christine’s public persona may not sit well with all viewers, her confidence and the joy she radiates in her new relationship with David are undeniable. She seems to be embracing a future where she’s in control, making decisions based on her own desires and not the expectations of others. For now, Christine appears content to share her journey with her followers, whether they approve of her approach or not.
Sister Wives continues to air on TLC, Sundays at 10 p.m. ET, where fans can watch Christine’s ongoing story unfold.
