Sister Wives star Kody Brown has been receiving a lot of criticism following his behavior throughout Tell-All, Look Back, Talk Back, and the Christine Brown Wedding Special.. Some say that he sounded bitter and upset about his ex-wives, especially with Christine. He has also made some controversial remarks throughout the recent seasons. Some Reddit users even compiled some of the most rotten things he had said and done over the past few years. Keep reading to see some of Kody’s questionable actions.
1. Kody Brown’s Neglect Of Ysabel
One of the first things the Redditors mentioned about Kody’s controversial decisions was when he didn’t go to Ysabel’s major back surgery in New Jersey. According to some, any child would love to have their parents by their side in such a terrifying situation. However, the Brown family patriarch explained that he couldn’t go due to the pandemic.
- “For me it was when he suggested Ysabel going to her surgery alone…and when he told her he hoped she won’t become a bitter housewife because of him not attending the surgery! I truly wish him the worst.”
- “Ysabel’s surgery and everything surrounding it is pretty f****ng heinous.”
2. Kody Blames Christine For Turning The Kids Against Him
Some Redditors also mentioned his statements about how Kody blamed Christine for his poor relationship with their kids. According to some, he had the guts to point fingers, despite his lack of effort to visit his kids. There was also a scene last season showing how awkward Truely was with her father, seemingly showing that he hasn’t been around for her.
- “The way he’s trying to blame Christine for taking Truely when he wouldn’t even visit when she lived close and for”turning the kids against him” b*****t narrative robin placed in his pea brain.”
3. Kody Attacks His Older Children Calling Them Jerks
Another controversial thing that the Redditors mention about Kody is his strained relationship with most of his kids, especially Gabriel and Garrison. Things haven’t been well for them in recent years. It all started when the brothers decided not to follow their father’s COVID-19 rules. But many believe Kody went too far by wanting Janelle to kick out her kids. Things also got worse when he forgot about Gabriel’s birthday, leaving him emotional. Kody did apologize to his sons last season. But it seems there is still no progress between them today.
4. Kody Brown’s Absence During Truely’s Life-Threatening Situation
Some Redditors also mentioned another disturbing decision that Kody has made in the show. According to some, Truely once had a life-or-death situation when she suffered from kidney failure. However, the Sister Wives star was nowhere to be found during the horrifying medical situation because he was with Robyn.
- “Neglecting Truely until she went into kidney failure and almost died. Sounds even worse than a knife to the kidneys.”
- “Every time I see him have the gall to say “it’s like a knife to the kidneys” when he literally almost let his daughter go into kidney failure. Human toilet emoji.”
5. Kody Brown’s Manipulation Of Meri
Kody has also been questioned multiple times for his manipulative behavior. According to some, he seemingly forced Meri into staying in the Brown family to continue benefiting from her contribution despite having a lack of interest in their marriage. Others also added that he doesn’t seem to know how to live a polygamous lifestyle and forced himself in for his own ego.
6. Kody Admitting He Never Loved His Wives
Kody has also admitted that he never loved his wives throughout Season 18. But some Redditors think it was only an excuse to make it look like he was the one who was left by the ex-wives. Nevertheless, many are upset about how he never showed sincerity in fixing his family and ended up fighting with his wives during the last season. It seemed he used them all for financial gain for him and Robyn. The dirty move was never telling them how he felt until Christine forced his hand in season 17.
7. Kody Brown Using Threatening Words Against His Wives Over Robyn
Kody also made a shocking statement during the Tell-All about how he would punch anyone who talked badly about Robyn. However, some Redditors believe that he was referring to his ex-wives, who are all aware of his unfair relationship with the fourth wife.
- “In a talk back when threatened to PUNCH HIS WIVES IN THE MOUTH if they talked about Robyn one more time. He’s such a narcissistic POS but this took the cake for me. Like bro are you serious?!?!?!”
8. Kody Brown’s Tantrums During Fight With Janelle
Kody Brown’s tantrums alone during the recent season horrified viewers. However, his fight with Janelle last season was the deal-breaker for many. According to some, it just shows that Kody has no control over his emotions and has anger issues. Others also recalled how he never wanted to cooperate when talking properly with Janelle because he was being exposed for his wrongdoings.
9. Kody Brown Has Always Chose Robyn’s Children
Some Redditors also mentioned how Kody often prioritized Robyn’s children over the others. The Sister Wives star also made multiple trips with them in 2023 without any signs of the other Brown kids. Kody was only spotted at Gwendlyn’s wedding and Savanah’s high school graduation last year. But other than that, Christine and Janelle never talked about his presence with their children. Some also said that he withheld the love of his other children until they accepted him and Robyn.
- “Each and every single day choosing Robyn over his children. And Robyn manipulating and co signing it makes her too.”
- “Withholding love and support re the OG13 kids until they groveled to him and Robyn.”
10. Kody Brown Said His Sons Are Dead To Him
Some Redditors from a different thread also talked about how the time when Kody considered his kids dead. According to the poster, the Sister Wives star jokingly said, “I don’t have any sons, they’re all dead to me,” while he was working in their yard. Redditors took issue, who jokes like that? Just Kody saying such words is beyond most loving parents’ comprehension.
- “What would possess any parent to say this about their children? He sounds like a five year old child himself.”
- “Comments like that will earn him a seat in the back row at his dead to me sons wedding.”
It’s clear to see that Kody Brown has done some questionable things throughout the years. Regardless, he still finds a way to praise himself and blame others for the downfall of his family.
