Sister Wives Adds Another

Kody Brown, star of TLC's polygamy reality show, Sister Wives, is not satisfied with only three wives. It appears that Kody Brown has married wife number four.

Sister Wives star Kody Brown made an honest woman of fiance number four, Robyn Sullivan, a few months ago during a private religious ceremony in Utah.

The cast of Sister Wives

If we add Robyn Sullivan's three children from a previous marriage to Kody Brown's thirteen children and three current wives, that's a total of 21 family members. Move over Brady Bunch kids, there's a new family in town.

For those of you following Sister Wives on TLC, I hate to disappoint you, but cameras were not allowed to film the nuptials. The reception, however, was fair game. It will reportedly be featured on an episode of the show, with some of the juicy events leading up to the big day airing on this past Sunday's episode of Sister Wives.

Kody Brown's decision to show his polygamist world on camera isn't leaving the wife-abundant reality star answering to just viewers. He's allegedly answering to the law as well.

AccessHollywood.com recently reported that police in Utah have opened a bigamy investigation into the polygamy-practicing family. Bigamy is a third-degree felony in Utah. I didn't know that. But then again, I don't spend much time giving it a thought!

The trick in the law is that a person can be guilty of bigamy through cohabitation, not just marriage bindings. They've got you coming and going, don't they? "We are disappointed in the announcement of an investigation, but when we decided to do this show, we knew there would be risks. But for the sake of our family, and most importantly, our kids, we felt it was a risk worth taking," the family told Access Hollywood in a statement.

Word around the talk show circuit is the Sister Wives family visited The Oprah Winfrey Show for a chat in an episode to air sometime this week.

What do you think? Are four wives better than one? Should Kody Brown be left alone or answer to the law? We want to know what you think.

I don't think polygamy is a good idea for many reasons, but using the country's current morals you can't logically argue against it. marriage, or "civil unions" are accepted. Sleeping with as many women as you want to is accepted (and often encouraged). Its also OK to father children with multiple women and abandon the children and their mother. However, offer to take care of these women, and be a father to the children... illegal.

If you don't find anything wrong with this creep and his 4 mentally screwed up wives, then YOU are a complete moron right along with them! You idiots have no idea what mental and emotional damage their poor kids have suffered because off all this, and we WON'T know till later down the road when they're all older and have the guts to talk about it! This guy is a complete PIG, and his "wives" are all NUTS!! There is NO excuse for this, and NO IT'S NOT OK!!!!

Speaking in terms of just lifestyle, these women don't have it that bad. If you do research, there's Mormon wives living in trailers in the desert. Hardly the case here.

Jancis, good point! You may have even seen that Sunday Nite interview, aired Oct. 31, where Kody talked about Janelle's dark haired daughter needing an emergency appendectomy. There was no insurance coverage so it coat " a years salary ". No mention was made who chipped in for it but it served as an omen of just what you wrote. If they don't smell the coffee by now, then the pots gonna burn!

Whether you like their personalities or not, whether you approve of their lifestyle or not, the truth is they broke the law. Allow them to get away with it merely because of the above, means we then should drop charges against other law breakers because they're likable as well? People, grow up & face reality!

I think they should be left alone they arent doing any harm at all i thought when i first heard about the show i wouldnt like it but i love watching it!! leave them alone!!

I watched the entire season last night and enjoyed it very much. I don't get Meri's jealousy as she appears to be the one who put Kody and Robyn together in the first place. I thought there was something a bit off about Kody but i can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it was just a bit of acting and the wives and kids appeared much more realistic. I don't think the prosecutor should go after these people but they would be derelict in their job if they didn't after their polygamist lifestyle was aired on national T.V. And I'm sure alot of people in Utah are pushing for prosecution. I hope it doesn't happen for a few reasons. First, it would really destroy their lives, the children especially and I'd hate to see that happen to anyone. Second, we won't get to see another Season, and who wouldn't watch it? It's addicting!! As far as the law goes, I believe Kody is legally married to Meri, only and the other wives religiously only. However as it states above in the article, it doesn't matter and they can be prosecuted just for cohabitation alone. That sounds unconstitutional to me. The other three wives must file taxes as single so there's no deception there. Why prosecute? Because of the citizens in Utal that are anti-polygamist. They must be raising holy hell and pushing for it.

Kody has a nice Lexus car,dresses his self up- while the rest of the family looks like they shop at Walmart. You can tell he don't go WITHOUT! I think he will end up getting busted sleeping around with a variety of women and end up like Jon Gossling (from Jon&Kate plus 8)

For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage! Kody is a "vulgar" little sausage.

I think they should be left alone. I don't agree with the law that stops people from being married to who they want. I belive we should have the right to chose for ourselves who we marry. I don't agree with the law banning people from marrying is not right either. We are not hurting anyone we should be left alone. I am biual and polyamorous and there is noting wrong with it. We are not child molesters nor are we into child slavery! These laws are stupid and should have never been made. They were made by closed minded christians. We are doing nothing more than loving our families.

THOUGH THEIR CHOICE IS NOT MY CUP OF TEA, I BELIEVE YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO CENSOR SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE. SINCE WE DON'T CENSOR S OR SATANIST OR ANY OTHER UAL PERVERSION WHAT IS THE POINT OF JUDGING THESE PEOPLE.

Seems like Kody you are doing a great job with wifes and kids. Everybody should stay out of your business. Good luck with all this.

I have been watching this show and it is my understanding that Kody is only married to Meri. The other 3 were just committment ceremonies. How can they be investigating him for bigamy?? It's like having a wife and 3 live-in baby-mamas. I do find it interesting that polygamists believe in 'sister-wives', but not 'brother-husbands'. It sounds very one-sided to me. A way for a man to get everything he wants but not much for the woman.

I find it sad that the Mormons sold out on polygamy in order to become a state all those years ago. While this lifestyle is not for every one. In this case the kids are well cared for, not neglected, and the family is NOT on welfare. The kids are not being forced into marriages with child abusers, such as has been the case when media has focused on polygamy in the past. This family shows that this type of family can work! Leave them alone!

Who cares how many wives he has. The kids are happy and very well cared for. They live in nice places. He gives each part of his family love and attention and the wives have learned to deal with each other in a loving way. Leave the family alone. It certainly would not be a life I would choose for me, but each person must find the life that is right for them. Oh, his insurance and health probably covers his biological children, since if you get divorced the parents insurance still covers the biological children, no matter who their mother is.

I would have no problem as a wife in this family except I would wonder if after 16 years since the last wife, is Kody adding a new wife at this stage due to a male mid life crisis. He has spoken of hair loss and such. A woman with children that have not been reared with the same rules and concepts could cause alot of friction in the family. Will her children accept the family rules and ways, will she be comfortable with others correcting her children. Also will she allow all the children to be as undisciplined as hers seem. It seems on the show that she was looking for someone to take care of her and her children. Most counselers would say no to calling a man daddy before they even are part of a family. She just seems kind of desperate. The other wives seem wonderful so I feel for them with this disruption of their lives. God bless you all and I wish for you all the best.

Those who are so concerned about someone else's family should examine carefully pages 292 and 293 of the Doctrine and Covenants and the First, Fourth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. A complaint may be investigated if given priority attention, but this one should not be disposed of by the conventional criminal prosecution approach calculated to ignore material issues and convince the accused they can not afford adequate defense. For one thing, the accused should have the right to confront those who are behind this pressure for criminal indictment. Why not "Trial by Internet"? That way the people who have begged the DA, DOJ, and their elected representatives to read their mail and have been ignored in their complaints against local government officials, can have their day in Court.

I love the way this family is, many could learn from them. They are a terrific family. They take care of eachother and the children are blessed with four great women and a terrific husband. They should be left alone. We have too many other things the police should be worrying about. (Child porn, child slavery, murders, rapist's) Go away and leave them alone. I truly enjoy a glimpse into their lives. It is tasteful and honest.

Kody, if you are reading this tripe read this the nay sayers are idiots and fools. you keep up the good work you are right and God is proud of you. You are other peoples hero even though you have never met us we think you are the bomb fricken digity!!! One more thing closed minded people NEVER get it. In our opinion ther are two kinds of people in this world "those who get it and those who don't" those who don't get it shout the loudest. You get it. Good for you and God bless. C ya. P.S. Don't give up!

Kody the Copulator's compliant women aren't "wives," since multiple marriage is illegal. They are concubines in this spoiled little man's harem. One wonders are their lack of self-respect, allowing themselves to be used as concubines in this manner. What's the matter -- are they afraid they can't run a household by themselves, but need other women to help them wash the dishes? And have they ever thought what will happen to them when Kody the Copulator dies from indulging in too much -fest? His estate will have to be shared among one legal wife, three concubines, and 16 children. Poverty anyone? By the way, since life insurance and health insurance, dental insurance, etc., only covers the legal spouse, the concubines and their children will be in a real financial mess should they fall sick and they and their kids need medical help. These pathetic, gullible women should wake up and smell the coffee.
