Sister Wives: Will Fans Drive Kody Brown Off Instagram? (Comments After Garrison’s Death Are Very Harsh)
Sister Wives star Kody Brown loved his son Garrison Brown, who passed away on March 5, 2024, but that doesn’t stop fans of the show from ripping him apart on social media, and he may flee IG eventually. Another scenario is that he’ll go radio silent on the social media platform like his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, has.
The morality of attacking someone whose son recently passed away is sketchy to say the least. Kody shouldn’t be blamed for the death of his son, but there are fans who think he didn’t give Garrison enough love, attention and support. Is this really true? Only careful examination of some hard facts will reveal the truth. During Sister Wives season 18, Kody got shade from almost everyone, including Garrison.
Was it fair to put all the family’s problems on Kody? Some of his detractors think it’s more than fair.
Is All The Stuff Said About Kody Brown Right Now Negative?
Most of the remarks that Kody’s getting right now are extremely negative. In fact, some are too inflammatory to share here – to do so would simply be spreading hate. People are really unleashing the anger and bitterness that they feel, and seemingly not caring how the patriarch feels. Garrison wouldn’t want Kody to be attacked like this.

Making sense of the general mood isn’t that complicated. After all, Garrison criticized his father onscreen, telling others that he was succeeding in life despite his father’s disapproval. However, that doesn’t mean that fans aren’t going too far. Here’s one example – this comment on Kody‘s post was really blistering:
The last few post are nothing but sadness and sorrow… seems like the only thing you have going on in your life is misery!! May god be a shining light in your heart. It’s never too late to change.
Other fans get their point across in a mocking way, painting Kody as a sort of clown. One of them expressed themselves on the same post, calling out Kody’s poor knowledge of nutrition. That critic preferred to use satire to rip the patriarch apart, saying:
The man who told poor kids that ketchup was a vegetable..
On another post, an unhappy Sister Wives viewer dissed the “villain” Kody for daring to show his face on Cameo. Of course, he’d posted about being on Cameo before his son passed away. The comment came afterward, with a detractor psychoanalyzing a patriarch who is currently deep in grief. Kody didn’t want his son to join the Army because he thought Garrison might get hurt or killed. However, the “fan” conveniently forgot that when they called him a narcissist:
FYI your cameos are inauthentic. Please seek counsel for your Narcissism
These comments are probably enough to communicate what the vibes are right now. Bear in mind that Garrison was Kody’s child. He held him as a baby, watched him take his first steps, and struggled to come to terms with the estrangement that sadly continued until his son passed away.
Kody’s got so much to contend with and certain fans (including some trolls) are making sure that the process is as difficult as it can possibly be.
Why Are Fans Blaming Kody Brown?
Do They Really Think Garrison Brown’s Death Is His Fault?
It’s true that Kody really, really loves Robyn. He just lost it over the dainty brunette. This romance caused so much trouble, mostly because Kody was one of the world’s most notorious polygamists. Kody was supposed to multiply his love, but when Robyn came onto the scene, he seemingly began dividing it instead. When it came to the non-Robyn wives, there simply wasn’t enough love to go around. With the kids, it’s a bit more complicated.
Kody Brown Is Going Through Hell Right Now
Kody Brown Isn’t Evil
That wasn’t bad parenting. It just wasn’t what Garrison wanted to hear. So, in that instance, Kody was more or less a typical father. Who hasn’t had similar disagreements with parents? It’s basically par for the course.
Kody got eviscerated for wanting his son to finish college before enlisting.
Garrison did feel like he didn’t get the love he needed from his father, and sadly, other Brown children felt the same way. For example, Savanah Brown didn’t even get a Christmas gift from Kody. He said he’d bring her one later. Kody’s tangled with Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown and other kids. Gabriel Brown also shared his pain over his emotional distance from his father.
Fans who attack Kody right now should picture themselves with 18 kids. Would they be able to give all of them what they needed? No, of course not. The issue is that Kody put so much pressure on the mothers. Janelle, Meri and Christine often had to handle parenting stuff on their own.
They did the best they could. It wasn’t easy for any of them. It might be a good time to give the Browns a break.
Garrison Brown Will Always Be Missed
Garrison Brown Was A Great Person
Garrison had problems, and not all of them were about Kody. His issues with his dad were part of the problem. However, he drank, Garrison had problems with an ex, and people around him felt that he was depressed. Kody didn’t cause his child’s death – however, there may have been times when he could have been a better father. However, that could be said about most dads. So, fans should lay off Sister Wives‘ Kody now – he’s been fairly quiet, and no one knows how he’s doing. He could be in a very dark place.
