Sister Wives star Christine Brown is known for having some of the most outgoing and fun children in the family. However, one of them is facing backlash following a disturbing statement. It’s none other than Mykelti, who made some fans’ stomachs turn after confessing to something she did after giving birth to three kids. Keep reading to see what she did.
‘Sister Wives‘: Mykelti Says Postpartum Depression Is Not Real
Some Redditors recalled one of the most disturbing statements that Mykelti made years ago. According to the OP, they’re reminding everyone about the time when the Sister Wives star stated that postpartum depression is not real.
She stated, “Postpartum depression isn’t real. It’s just new mothers being jealous of their newborns getting all of the attention after the birth.” This made many people upset, and it’s been one of the main reasons why she lost supporters in recent years.
Many fans also took to the comments section of the Reddit thread to share how upset they are about Mykelti’s statements, saying that she was insensitive.
- “If post partum depression isn’t a real thing then why did she eat her own placenta? Exactly. — because she fears something that she’s never experienced. PPD is a very real thing, and for the millions of women who suffer with it — it can be debilitating!”
- “Medical professionals such as myself refer to this type of statement as being “confidently wrong.” Lots of bad, unqualified advice is being spread around by influencer types.”
- “Didn’t Christine have pretty bad PPD with Truly? But Meri is the only one who makes mean digs at people right lol.”
- “This girl is literally all of Christine and Kodys worst traits in one. The way she’s talks anymore drives me crazy, she tries to sound so enlightened. Go grift some more.”
- “I’m shocked she didn’t say she had it then.”
- “Of course she did not have it. Didn’t she eat her placenta to prevent it? Ugh.”
- “The prodigal child. Shes not my cup of tea and husband either.”
- “I used to like Mykelti but it seems with her weight loss has come with the “talking over people/giving orders/it’s all about me” vibe. I honestly don’t enjoy her anymore.”
- Mykelti really does need serious therapy instead of getting on patreon.
- “Just because she’s banged out a few kids in swift succession does not mean she’s the authority on any pregnancy or postpartum matter… especially not when it is so reductive and undermining a statement. Gtfo.”
- “When Mykelti earns her degree in the field of psychiatric or obstetrics, I will give what she says some consideration. Until then, her speaking with any authority on the subject, especially without any personal experience, is just bullshit.”
Mykelti Says She Ate Her Placentas
Aside from saying PPD is not real, Mykelti left many people scratching their heads when she claimed in an episode of Sister Wives that she ate the placenta of her daughter, Avalon, and her twins, Archer and Ace.
She even said that she turned the other portion into a smoothie. Mykelti faced backlash with her disturbing statements, but she claimed that it helped her fight postpartum depression.
Christine also wished that she had known about the practice early on, adding that she would’ve tried it. It was also revealed that Robyn was the first person in the family to perform such a thing.
There is no scientific proof that eating a placenta could provide healthy benefits to a mother.
