Kody Brown is one of the least popular figures among the Sister Wives fandom. Viewers find him incredibly arrogant and even verbally abusive to his family members.

In general, Sister Wives viewers agree that Kody’s bad behavior has grown more extreme over the years. After 18 Seasons, he’s a shell of the jovial father figure from Season 1.

But even in the show’s early days, Kody displayed extremely poor parenting tactics — especially when it came to disciplining his children. See what one Redditor dug up online this week.

Redditors Find Kody Brown Verbally Berating & Threatening His Kids

In recent seasons, Sister Wives fans have witnessed Kody Brown speak harshly about his older children while favoring Robyn’s kids. Sadly, this isn’t a new occurrence.

One Sister Wives fan recently dug up an instance from an early season where Kody threatened his young sons after he grew sick of them squabbling with each other.

“Did Kody seriously threaten his boys?” a Reddit user asked online recently. “S8E6 when Gabe and Garrison got into a fight after an outing to a movie. This is what Kody said to them. I remember when this episode aired, I thought wow, that’s over the top. Words hurt kids. Parents should know better.”

They attached two screenshots with the closed captioning revealing Kody’s threatening words. One read, “If I ever see that again, you two are done with your lives!” The other read, “I am just ending you.”

While this clip was extremely upsetting to begin with, it’s aged incredibly poorly in recent days. Sister Wives fans sadly remember that Garrison Brown took his own life in March 2024.

Other Sister Wives Fans React To The Heartbreaking Scene

Naturally, other Redditors found Kody Brown’s language incredibly harsh and inappropriate. Others left comments including:

• “If he is capable of this explosion when the camera is rolling, imagine the things he says when he’s not on film. He’s a complete nutball.”
• “Gwen said he was ‘nicer on the show than in real life’ so I have no doubt he has said all sorts of things to them and threaten them regularly.”
• “I think once the show is finally done we’re going to get a lot of information on what Kody was truly like off camera. And the wives, too.”
• “I absolutely agree. And I suspect the reason the allegations against Meri a while ago weren’t addressed is because then it would open up all the adults to this type of scrutiny, and none of them would look good.”
