Sister Wives’ Kody Brown slammed for ‘cruel’ treatment of daughter Savanah, 18, that fans call a ‘new low’ for dad of 18
SISTER Wives star Kody Brown has been slammed by fans for the treatment of his daughter during the most recent episode.
Episode 4 of Sister Wives Season 18 aired on Sunday night, showing Kody, 54, celebrating Christmas with wife Robyn Brown, 44, then-wife Meri Brown, 52, and their children.
The scene first showed Janelle Brown, 54, spending the holidays alone with her children, including 18-year-old Savanah, at a vacation rental.
While Janelle noted how the holiday was a “relief,” she also said she felt a “sadness” due to the fact that Kody was “not showing up for his kids.”
Savanah labeled the day as “quiet” but “kind of pleasant” as she and her brothers were shown opening their stockings while sitting on the couch.
Janelle said she had not heard from any other family members that day, to which Kody explained he didn’t “see the point” in trying to make their situation work for the holiday.
Kody continued to call Janelle “out of mind” and “out of sight” for him, saying he was “blocking everything else” out for that day unless it was about his “loyal” wife and children.
With Kody not reaching out to Savanah and the others, many angry viewers have called out the TLC star for his all-time low behavior.
FEELING FOR SAVANAH
After the episode aired, one person took their thoughts to Reddit, writing: “I feel so bad for that girl !!! She really doesn’t deserve to be abandoned the way she was.”
They also blamed Kody’s wife Robyn for not telling him to call his daughter on Christmas.
“Same for forgetting birthdays. At the very least, Robyn should have a calendar of the kids’ birthdays to remind Kody to call them,” one person agreed.
A second wrote: ” It’s all about how hurt he is & how he doesn’t want poor victim Robyn to have to see him in his ‘dark’ mood. He couldn’t even be bothered to wish Savannah or the boys a Merry Christmas.”
“Robyn doesn’t remeber Savanah’s name, she probably doesn’t even remeber she exists. But yes, Savanah deserves so much more,” said a third.
“Abandoning your child is the ultimate dealbreaker for me. Robyn better take notes that her kids will get this treatment as well at some point,” a fourth replied.
A fifth wrote: “I was so heartbroken for his kids, the way he separated himself from his ‘loyal’ and non loyal was sickening.”
“Kodys punishing Janelle and Christine’s kids because he’s not on good terms with their moms. I’m a single mom and I’ve experienced this, and I know and see many other single mom’s experience this. It’s cruel and selfish,” a sixth said.
“I hope Savannah sees she is better off without her father’s toxic, conditional ‘love’. She has some great brothers to be the male influences in her life,” another wrote.
FIGHT SCENE
In another scene from Sunday’s episode, Janelle shared her feelings with viewers following the intense fight she got into with her ex-husband.
In last week’s episode, Janelle got into an explosive fight with Kody that led her to yell at producers.
Kody was seen explaining that this altercation with Janelle was “building up for months,” saying: “It’s just one betrayal after another in my mind.”
Later in the scene, a close-up of Janelle’s face appeared as she said: “I’m pretty depressed about it,” talking about the fight.
“Never in a million years did I think I could get in this position,” she continued.
She finally admitted to feeling “stuck” in the relationship and that she “didn’t know” Kody.
