Sister Wives star Kody Brown has been struggling with some of his older sons. The 55-year-old began to have issues with Gabriel and Garrison during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, some Redditors think there’s a bigger reason why the Brown family patriarch is furious with his young adults. Keep reading to see the shocking reason.
Sister Wives: Kody Brown’s Struggles With Gabriel & Garrison
Kody began to have issues with Gabriel and Garrison during the Covid-19 pandemic. Janelle’s sons defied their father’s strict social distancing rules and proceeded to hang out with their friends. It came to the point where Kody got so upset and tried to kick them out of their mother’s house. Since then, the Sister Wives star’s relationships with his boys have gone downhill. It also got worse when Gabriel revealed in October 2021 that his dad forgot about his birthday during a phone call, and said that it was the last time they ever talked.
Fans Think There’s Another Reason Why Kody Is Telling Off His Sons
Some Sister Wives fans on Reddit discussed the possible reason for Kody’s strained relationships with his sons. According to the poster, they’ve heard stories about young men being driven off in the polygamy community to avoid competition with older men for wives, and that young adults should never question older men. Others agreed and pointed out how different Kody Brown is when it comes to his boys aged 18 and above.
- “I have heard a lot of stories about young men driven off so as not to compete w the older men for wives. What happens to these men in Kody’s church? The numbers dont add. Rewatch trigger, kody trying to run off janelle’s sons. Janelle knew instinctively this was not really covid motivated. Kody doesnt want men challenging him. He isnt so different than the people he hates.”
- “This is where Kodys- they are 18 – get out, attitude comes from.”
- “It’s not an asset for a father to have too many boys – the daughters are the assets to trade with other man. Boys might be okay but not young-adult men. A few young adult sons are kept around, but most are told to go their own way.”
- “Much like harvesting weed, the males are disposed of and the females are the cash crop.”
Sister Wives: Kody Brown Apologizes To Gabriel & Garrison
Kody made headlines during last season’s Tell-All after publicly apologizing to his sons, Gabriel and Garrison. According to the Sister Wives star, he doesn’t understand why their situation got complicated. He even suggested that his sons should’ve either followed him or moved out. However, he expressed how sad he was about his estrangement from them.
“Boys, I’m sorry. I was trying to protect my family. Next time, I’d manage it differently, and I’m sorry,” he added. But Janelle revealed during the one-on-one interview that her ex-husband has not made any effort to fix their relationship. “He’s still acting like they need to come to him,” she added.
