The Battle for Sister Wives: Kody's Exit and the Women He Left Behind

For 16 years, Sister Wives sold America one man, four wives and eighteen kids. Now Season 21 is airing without Kody and Robyn Brown, and the three women who left him are the ones still on TV. This is what happened after the cameras left: the 2010 bigamy investigation, the move to Las Vegas, the Coyote Pass land that was never built on, four wives down to one, the $2.1 million house, and the money Meri says she was never paid back.
