Did TLC favor 'Sister Wives' stars Kody and Robyn Brown's 'racist' church? Speculation sparks as anti-LGBTQ preaching surfaces
FLAGSTAFF ARIZONA: TLC slammed for endorsing 'racist' preaching on national TV in 'Sister Wives'. Kody Brown and Robyn Brown adhere to AUB (Apostolic United Brethren) rules, linked to a church promoting racism and anti-LGBTQ views.

Referring to the Canaanites, the person in the video claims "they screw up the society."
He then talks about how some companies purposely have "90% of their employees as homosexual." The person in the video is then seen mocking people who come out of their closet. Without A Crystal Ball alleges, "Kody and Robyn Brown's 'church' that they constantly point to on the show as the authority of their lives and marriages. The church teaches racism and anti-LGBT rhetoric to the youth in an August 2022 event on wicked music."
In response to the video, a commenter expressed, "TLC made a reality show about a cult, making it seem like a different lifestyle. Similar to the Duggars, where all the women are victims of abuse." Another replied, stating, "It’s a white supremacist cult that traffics women and children." Another shocked individual exclaimed, "Wow! Although I’m not shocked! TLC also aired the Duggars, and we all know how that show ended!" A different commenter expressed their distress, stating, "I am literally nauseous and sick to my stomach after listening to this. This is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever heard."

I left a long time ago." According to Cheatsheet, Christine explained ththe divorce process in AUB, saying, "We can leave a marriage in our church. If it’s a marriage like mine and Kody had, where it’s just a spiritual marriage, then they release you spiritually. And you go through them."
