On the most recent episode of the show, the family, which consists of Kody Brown, his four wives, and 17 children, all sat down and talked about the fear they felt when authorities in Utah began prosecuting them for polygamy, a part of their fundamentalist Mormon lifestyle that happened to be illegal in the state.
Now, some of Kody's wives revealed that his decision to take the family public left them feeling betrayed when they were forced to leave their Utah home.

"It was very difficult to trust the idea [Kody] had. I felt like he betrayed me, and I didn't know how to deal with the emotions," Robyn Brown admitted in the episode. 'It really tested my trust in him."
The kids also opened up in the episode, about how much it hurt them at the time.
"I was really upset and told them I wasn't going with them," Madison Brown, 17, (Kody's daughter with Janelle) said. "I blamed all my parents, especially my dad. I was angry at him for a long time. But now I think it was the best thing I could have ever done."
The family has since settled down in Las Vegas, and is now freely living their lives without fear of prosecution. They have also received good news about their business, My Sister Wife's Closet, which received an initial $250,000-$500,000 investment.
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on TLC.
