Sister Wives' Christine Brown Details “Devastating” Oxycodone Addiction

Christine Brown's dependency on oxycodone began after her 2016 knee surgery, leading to a candid memoir detailing her recovery and family support.

  • Christine Brown, 53, writes in Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom, released Tuesday, that a 2016 knee surgery led to an oxycodone dependency.
  • After knee surgery, Brown says she was prescribed oxycodone for her ACL and meniscus injury, and dependence developed within about two weeks due to the medication's potency.
  • She admitted she even took pills before filming confessionals for Sister Wives, confessed to Kody Brown, and split pills with Aspyn Brown before quitting cold turkey despite lingering effects.
  • Two weeks after starting the pills, Maddie Brown confronted Christine Brown, and Brown credits that confrontation and self-love with helping her recovery, urging readers to contact SAMHSA for help.
  • Beyond the addiction account, Brown's book also details her departure from the Mormon church and her split from Kody Brown after more than 25 years together.
