00:00 Are you admitting that you were guilty of not loving them
00:03 enough to help the relationship?
00:06 No, no, no, no.
00:07 Were you withdrawing their love?
00:08 No, no, no.
00:09 I was guilty of not being in love with them.
00:12 It was guilt from the beginning.
00:15 Sukanya Krishnan defends her interviews
00:18 after Sister Wives fans call her out,
00:21 claiming she did not hold Kody Brown accountable
00:24 during the one-on-one specials.
00:25 Bring it.
00:26 The longtime journalist has been conducting the TLC shows
00:29 one-on-one interviews for several years now.
00:32 It's good to see you.
00:33 Good to see you.
00:34 Are you ready for a new variety show of Sister Wives?
00:38 I don't know about that.
00:39 We're gonna have singing and dancing
00:40 and a little bit of comedy.
00:42 Yeah, and it's been a whirlwind of changes
00:44 for the Brown family.
00:45 By the end of season 18,
00:47 Janelle and Mary followed in Christine's footsteps
00:50 and split from Kody,
00:51 leaving Robin the only wife in his corner.
00:54 What I really wanna do is yell.
00:57 What I really wanna do is scream.
00:59 What I really wanna do is just say,
01:03 "No, please don't do this."
01:07 I don't just blame myself,
01:09 but I do believe that as we go through struggles,
01:14 there's always plenty of blame to spread around.
01:18 So as the Brown family crumbled,
01:20 some fans seemingly expected Suki to grill Kody
01:23 for his part in the drama.
01:25 One viewer specifically commenting on this moment
01:28 from part one of the special.
01:30 Janelle has always seen me as a physical specimen
01:32 and as a resource
01:34 and not ever really dove into my humanity.
01:37 When you say your humanity,
01:39 you mean your vulnerability?
01:40 Right, right.
01:41 That you just felt that you were there to be,
01:42 what, a physical boy toy?
01:45 Like some pool boy.
01:47 So you just felt like a resource?
01:48 You just felt like a good-looking--
01:49 I felt like a piece of meat.
01:50 The fan writes,
01:51 "Suki is gonna let him get away with murder again.
01:54 He'll say whatever crap he wants and she'll just let him.
01:57 Tell all, tell nothing more like."
02:00 Suki's response,
02:01 "Respectfully think you are hearing more
02:03 than you ever have.
02:04 I try to be fair, just watch it."
02:06 The reality is, I think our job at TLC
02:10 and TLC as a network,
02:13 the network is all about family and heart
02:15 and creating connection and community.
02:18 And the community has put so much trust in us
02:20 that I think it's important for us to deliver
02:23 exactly that what they have expected
02:26 from TLC and TLC programs throughout its inception.
02:30 And there's a whole lot more to deliver
02:33 as three additional parts of the Sister Wives
02:35 one-on-one special are set to air.
02:37 She was attracted to me.
02:38 I know she wasn't in love with me.
02:40 There was definitely physical compatibility.
02:42 Yeah. Yeah.
02:43 Were you in love with Mary when you married her?
02:45 I told her I loved her
02:46 and she thinks we were mad about each other
02:49 and we played that out.
02:51 But isn't it not about him hearing you?
02:52 Isn't it about you being heard?
02:54 Oh, my voice will be heard.
02:58 I will no longer be silenced.
