SISTER Wives fans were shocked while watching Janelle Brown’s daughter slam Robyn for not allowing her to choose her church in a throwback clip.
A then-teenage Maddie voiced her opinions over her father Kody’s fourth wife’s strict rules on a previous episode of the show.
In the clip, the family is in the middle of a heated disagreement as Robyn claimed that the children were too young to select their own congregation.
Kody’s first wife Meri seemed to be in agreement while her husband sat between them without chiming in.
Many of the children, however, didn’t feel the same way, questioning Robyn’s thoughts on the matter.
Janelle’s daughter then spoke up rebutting: “You always told us that we could choose our church and we could be what we want.”
Robyn didn’t back down, strongly firing back: “Choose your church when you’re an adult.”
Maddie wasn’t thrilled with Robyn’s response replying: “Well I hate the church we have right now so…,” as her mother tried to calm her down by placing her hand on her shoulder.
The video resurfaced on Reddit where users bashed Robyn’s parenting skills calling her a “control freak” while applauding Maddie for speaking up for her beliefs.
One person commented: “It doesn’t even matter what Robyn was saying because that condescending tone is an immediate turn-off.”
Another echoed the statement, writing: “She’s so controlling. It scares her when any of the kids don’t robotically agree with whatever she says.”
While a third added: “Robyn is soooooo rude”
A fourth fan sided with Maddie and her siblings, writing: “Caring and protective is one thing. Not allowing older teens freedom of self thought and healthy discovery is another.”
Others thought that Janelle and Kody should’ve stepped in to defend their daughter, as one wrote: “As soon as Maddie shared she did not like ‘our church,’ Robyn’s insistence was inappropriate and she should have deferred to Janelle and Kody.”
Kody and Janelle’s marital problems have become more apparent on the show as they’ve both admitted their relationship is strained.
Janelle, 52, spoke about the future of her marriage to Kody, 53, in the latest season’s finale, confessing that there were times when she considered walking away.
“I’m here. I mean there was a point during Covid where I was like ‘okay do I still wanna do this?’
Janelle continued: “And there was a period of time where Kody was away for about six weeks, and I thought ‘Wow life is really easy.’
“And I really kind of had to do some soul searching and realize that I want to be here still. I’m here.”
During the Sister Wives One on One”tell-all special, Kody revealed his feelings about his second wife admitting that he doesn’t love her like he used to.
“Janelle wouldn’t tell you she was in that place with me either if she’s being honest,” he added.
At another point in the special, Kody talked about their relationship saying: “We’re not in sync. We don’t partner really well, but we actually just are able to have a marriage that’s, if you will, lower in attachment.
“We’re good friends, we get along well, it’s more of a like just a committed relationship.”
Back in November 2021, Kody’s third wife Christine decided to end their marriage after 28 years, raising questions on whether the others will follow suit.
It seems his marriage to Robyn may be the strongest of the bunch as he’s also been facing issues with Meri as well.
Robyn has been dubbed as the favorite wife after years of speculation that Kody neglected his other wives to be with her.
