Sister Wives star Kody Brown struggles today as TLC reminds fans in a throwback clip how he once believed polygamy was the only way to fly. The scene from the first season raised some eyebrows a long time ago for some viewers. Many saw this meeting as bizarre when they watched the new season.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown Offers Unique Family Talk

The scene is set in the Utah house where Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown all lived under one roof.

Christine is pregnant with Truely Brown as she sits with Kody and the other two wives discussing bringing Robyn Brown into the family. But they are not alone, all the Brown kids are there as well. The oldest Sister Wives kids are in their early teens. Then the rest look to be elementary school-age and younger.

When this first aired, it became a controversial scene among the Sister Wives viewers. Fans thought Kody acted like a smitten teenager as he asks his children’s permission to make Robyn a part of the family.

One of the boys, who looks about 7-years-old, shouts out to his father, “go get ’em, tiger.” This causes the entire family to break out in laughter. But today the fans of the Sister Wives know more about Robyn Brown entering the family and how it wasn’t as easy as it first sounded.

TLC: Does Kody’s Family Pretend for the Camera?

In the throwback shared by TLC, it looks as if Kody has a Sister Wives cheerleading squad. Everyone is happy and excited when the camera focuses on them.

But the screenshots below seem to tell a different story. It’s what the Sister Wives family looks like when they’re caught as the camera pans the room. Their enthusiastic demeanor over this news doesn’t show up in the faces below.

A while back Christine Brown shared that this was an especially tough time for her. She was about to have a baby. But the attention all drifted to Robyn Brown.

Kody is giddy over what the future possibly brings for him. It looks like the excitement is contagious for the Sister Wives family. But is it possible the wives and kids play it up a bit while on camera?

Sister Wives: Real Feelings Surfaced Years Later

Over the years the Sister Wives dropped hints about some unhappiness during the earlier seasons that did not make the editing cut. Christine Brown discussed how Robyn joining the family hit her hard.

She didn’t want another wife joining the family. But viewers wondered if that made a difference to him. But while Janelle Brown and Meri Brown were okay with this at first, their hard feelings surfaced with the honeymoon.

All three of Kody’s original Sister Wives had issues with the 10-day honeymoon he took with his new wife. Robyn shared that she was sad to learn how upsetting this was to the other women, especially Christine.

But she also defended the need for that time alone with Kody Brown. Meri pushed Kody to court Robyn. But the two other women sounded as if they didn’t expect to add another wife when Robyn Brown came on board.

Viewers noticed at the time the faces of the Sister Wives showed something different. Then years later the other wives confessed to the hurt feelings they harbored when Kody Brown brought on a fourth wife. This also included Meri, who helped plan Robyn and Kody’s courtship.

Some fans believe Robyn shouldn’t shoulder the blame, as they think this was all Kody Brown’s doing from the start. That was over a decade ago, so tune in to TLC  Sunday nights for all-new Sister Wives episodes from Season 16 and see how that moment changed the dynamics of the Brown family forever.
