Did Christine Brown Just Reveal the Massive Child Support Kody Owes?

The Sister Wives saga is far from over—and this time, Christine Brown Woolley may have accidentally blown the lid off a major secret Kody Brown’s been sitting on.

A new leak tied to her upcoming book has sparked a wildfire of speculation, centering on an eye-popping figure: $100,000 in back child support. If it’s true, Kody might be facing a legal and reputational mess that’s long overdue.

A Polygamous Tangle with Real-Life Consequences

For years, fans watched as Kody navigated life with four wives—Meri, Janelle, Christine, and later, Robyn. But when it came to responsibilities, not everything was evenly split.

Legally married only to Meri until 2014, Kody divorced her to marry Robyn and adopt her children. That left women like Christine and Janelle largely on their own when it came to their kids’ healthcare and financial support.

Christine, who has six children with Kody, was never backed by legal paperwork tying Kody to their youngest daughter, Truely. So when Christine moved from Flagstaff to Utah in 2021—bringing Truely with her—the transition came without the security of child support.

That changed in September 2024 when she filed a formal lawsuit against Kody, demanding financial responsibility. Since he wasn’t listed on Truely’s birth certificate, a paternity test was part of the process.

The Leak That Changed Everything

While Christine has largely stayed composed in public, fans caught wind of something big when a blurry snapshot of a page from her upcoming book made the rounds online. The image was unclear—but one number stood out in bold: $100,000. The implication?

That’s how much Kody reportedly owes her in unpaid support. And the leak couldn’t have come at a worse time for him. Witnesses say he was at an airport when the page surfaced, clearly agitated and muttering about needing to “control the narrative.”

Kody’s reaction echoed a pattern viewers have seen before. When Christine first announced she was leaving with Truely, Kody tried using scare tactics—suggesting the state would take their daughter if she left.

“He added a whole lot of lies to get his way,” the show revealed. But it didn’t work then, and this new twist suggests Christine is still calling her own shots.

Fans Aren’t Surprised—And They’re Not Sympathetic

This revelation doesn’t exactly come as a shock to longtime followers of the Brown family. Many recall how, during one of the show’s early seasons, Truely was rushed to the hospital in a serious emergency.

Without insurance—because Kody hadn’t ensured his name was legally connected—Christine was left holding a staggering $450,000 medical bill.

So, the idea that Kody now owes Christine six figures isn’t hard for fans to believe. Some even chimed in online with takes like:

“Christine better use her lawyers to make Kody pay. Because he’s never gonna pay on his own.”

“Kody, who has been spending the family money on Robyn and himself for 14 years, has the nerve to say HE doesn’t trust Christine?”

The hypocrisy hasn’t gone unnoticed. Kody has repeatedly said he doesn’t trust his ex-wives and fears what they’re “capable of,” yet he seems blind to his own pattern of neglect and manipulation.

Christine’s New Chapter—and a Quiet Win?

Despite the drama, Christine appears to be thriving. Her marriage to David Woolley has given her a new sense of joy and stability, far removed from the chaos of her past.

Ironically, the leak may end up working in her favor—boosting pre-orders for her book and putting her squarely in the public’s good graces.

As one fan noted, “This might just be the payday Christine deserves—whether it’s from court or the bestseller list.”

One thing is clear: while Kody Brown may be trying to “control the narrative,” Christine is writing her own—and this time, she’s in charge of the final edit.
