SISTER Wives star Christine Brown admitted she’s a ‘bad a**’ for walking away from her marriage with Kody in a message to her fans.
The reality star opened up about her decision to leave her husband after spending nearly three decades together.
Christine thanked her fans via TikTok for their support following her split from Kody, 52 and discussed the courage it took for her to walk away.
She explained: “Becoming a bad a** was an important step for me to make,” before revealing the advice her mother gave her that encouraged her to break free.
“She was saying you have to listen to your heart and make a decision based on joy. But listen to your heart and really go deep into who you are as a person and then make that decision.”
The TV star revealed that she struggled with the notion of leaving her polygomist family behind due to their very public lifestyle.
“People are gonna know my business. Anything that I decide to do since I’m public people are gonna know,” she explained fearing backlash from fans.
Christine’s mother then told her “So what? Make a decision for yourself and then go with that,” prompting her to make the move.
The TLC star continued the clip thanking her fans for helping her through the difficult journey and how she’s focused on “doing the next right thing.”
Christine released a statement about the breakup on social media in November saying: “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave.”
The divorce came after Christine had expressed on the show that she wanted to return to Utah.
Kody though was not interested, which ultimately pushed his wife to leave without him.
Christine married Kody back in 1994 and became his third wife while he’s also married to Meri, 50, Jenelle, 52, and Robyn, 43.
Their rocky relationship towards the end played out on the reality show proving that their troubles stemmed beyond their living situation.
In a teaser for Sunday’s episode, Christine broke down in tears as she said ex Kody didn’t want to have sex with her anymore before their breakup.
In a clip shared by PEOPLE, Christine opened up about a difficult conversation she had with Kody about the “intimate side” of their relationship.
Following a tough conversation with Kody, Christine said in a confessional: “He goes, ‘I’m not interested in having an intimate marriage anymore. I don’t like your behavior. We’ll see if you can be a good sister wife,’ and all this.
“I’m like, ‘Okay, so you don’t want us to have an intimate marriage?’ And he goes, ‘No.’ I’m like, ‘That’s not enough for me. I can’t not have an intimate marriage.'”
Kody told Christine he knows plenty of couples that aren’t intimate in their marriage, though Christine insisted she needs more from the Brown patriarch.
Christine then wondered if their relationship was “over,” adding: “I don’t know what to do.”
The Sister Wives star later said it’s unfair that Kody got to have “intimate marriages” with his other wives.
As the clip continued, Christine admitted she was “heartbroken” and said her heart was “shattered.”
She also admitted to knowing for a while about the problems in their marriage, with Kody even telling her that he’s no longer attracted to her.
Christine continued: “I just thought that maybe it would get better, but it’s over.
“The intimate part of our marriage is over and, to be honest, I’m not okay with that.
“I’m not okay with staying in a marriage where there’s no intimacy. That’s not a real marriage.”
Another teaser- which was shared by TLC’s Twitter account– showed Christine sobbing about how to break the news of the split to their kids.
While there are 18 children between the four wives, Christine and Kody biologically share daughters, Aspyn, 26, Mykelti, 25, Gwendlyn, 20, Ysabel, 18, Truely, 11, and a son Paedon, 23.
Christine seems to be enjoying her new single life.
Over the weekend, the 48-year-old showed off a vibrant outfit from the women’s clothing brand, Lula Roe, on Instagram.
In the first snapshot, the Sister Wives star rocked a blue and purple “lulu suit” as she posed at her front porch.
In the second pic, Christine brushed her long blonde hair with her fingers and flashed a huge smile at the camera.
Christine wrote: “As long as I can wear this, I can handle anything today!”
Fans jumped onto the comments section and praised the TV star for her appearance.
One said: “You look great Christine. So glad you left Kody,” as another wrote, “You look happy.”
A third added: “That smile says it all,” as one chimed in, “Happiness looks so good on you!”
