‘Sister Wives’ Fans Think ‘TLC’ Turned Episode Into ‘Lifetime’ Drama! When will TLC stop treating us like we are stupid?
TLC’s Sister Wives has never had any shortage of drama. But has Season 19 gone too far? After the new episode premiered on TLC last Sunday night, fans started expressing outrage online.
What are fans saying now? And why did one fan compare it all to a Lifetime movie?
One Sister Wives Fan Feels Aggravated By The Dramatic Driveway Scene
Online, the majority of Sister Wives fans expressed annoyance at the over-the-top driveway confrontation in the new episode. But at least one viewer thinks TLC is about to push a redemption arc on fans.
“Is this the start of a redemption arc?” A Sister Wives viewer asked on Reddit. “This is probably the only time I’ve ever heard Robyn express concern for the wellbeing of the OG children.
The story about how her bio dad ignored her helped me to see that she 100% gets what his non-Robyn kids are going thru. But that’s also what made me call bullsh!t on this whole thing. She’s known forever that Kody’s distance from his kids is/always was a sore point. Yet she waits until what…2022?…to hold him accountable?”
The OP went on to say that Robyn never showed any sense of compassion for the OG kids while they were growing up. Instead, she seemed more focused on keeping Sister Wives running.
“If her goal truly is to reunite Kody with his kids, there’s a simple solution. Tell Kody: we’re going to counseling. We’ve mourned long enough on our own and it’s not getting us anywhere. Let’s get the help we need so we can move forward,” the OP concluded their post.
Other Viewers Respond To The Post
For 19 seasons, Sister Wives viewers have thought TLC exaggerated the drama. But now, it’s on a whole new level. One Redditor even compared the new episode to a bad Lifetime movie.
Other Reddit users wrote:
- “I felt like I was watching a lifetime drama in the exchange between [Kody] and [Robyn.] He is absolutely terrible. The blame, he puts on the kids of his failures is deplorable. There’s no reason why he can’t be a part of his kids lives. He chooses not to and then rather than accept responsibility for that choice he blames them.”
- “I think Robyn wanted to be the favorite, not the only. This went way farther than she ever expected. Now her kids are sad, the OG kids are furious, Kody is angry all the time, and everyone has stopped going along to get along.”
- “Yes to everything you said. I saw right through her bulls**t. She’s never given a crap about anyone else but her and HER kids. She’s just trying to do damage control over a decade too late.”
