DESCRIPTION:

In Sister Wives Season 20 Episode 10, “Extending an Olive Branch,” Kody claims he’s ready to apologize… but is it healing, or pure damage control? Today, Lauren breaks down the shady apology logic, Janelle’s New Orleans freedom era, Meri and Amber’s Vegas mixer (wet t-shirt confusion included), and Christine’s bowling night with David Woolley and the kids.

Plus: a dramatic reading of the suspicious Reddit AITA post by “GoldenCurls79” that absolutely sounds like Kody’s burner account.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Janelle living her BEST life in NOLA 🍹

• Meri & Amber’s chaotic girl trip to Vegas 🍾

• Christine, Truly & Isabel go bowling with bonus-dad David 🎳

• Robin’s crocodile tears & “victim Olympics”

• Kody’s “Jesus-approved” apology plan (????)

• Why this apology feels selfish, late, and NOT for the women

• A hilarious deep dive into the Reddit AITA post

• Hot takes, legal brain insights & full breakdown of the Brown family dynamics

CHANNEL SURFER QUESTION:

Do you think Kody’s apology is genuine… or just stirring the drama pot?
