Sister Wives Star Throws Major Shade at “Toxic” Villain Kody Brown Amid Child Estrangement

Kody Brown’s Sister Wives is facing criticism from one of his sons for not being involved in their lives since marrying his fourth wife, Robyn Brown. Kody initially married Meri Brown in 1990 and over the years expanded his polygamous family to include three more wives – Janelle, Christine and Robyn, as well as 18 children. However, Kody prioritized his relationship with Robyn and their children, neglecting his other 13 children. Unfortunately, the family experienced a tragedy when Janelle and Kody’s son Garrison Brown passed away in March 2024, further highlighting the tensions in his relationships.

Maddievideo by, by life coach Josh Connolly emphasized the importance of setting clear, firm boundaries when dealing with toxic parents. According to the video, “telling the truth about your experiences at the hands of that toxic, abusive person is nothing like a smear campaign.” Josh concluded the video by stating that talking about abuse is not what destroys families; the abuse itself does. Maddie likely shared this video in response to Kody’s frustration over not being informed about her pregnancy in Sister Wives season 18.

Maddie’s message reveals the reason for her decision to avoid Kody Brown

Maddie likely talked about toxic parents to debunk Kody’s previous claims. Over the years, the Brown family patriarch has had a feud with some of his older children. He also asked his wives to remove their children from the house for not following COVID-19 rules. Most recently, Janelle revealed that Kody has lost faith in his adult children. She said her ex-husband believes her older children are “unfair” for him. Kody really thinks it wasn’t him but his children who caused irreparable damage to your relationships.

It appears that Maddie’s post directly debunks Kody’s claims. Her message suggests that it wasn’t kids like her who disrespected Kody, but Kody permanently damaged his reputation as the family patriarch. Maddie’s Instagram story indirectly refers to Kody as a “toxic” father. She likely shared the clip to tell the world that her father’s toxic personality was the real cause of her no longer caring about him like she used to. Maddie is a married mother with dozens of responsibilities. Therefore, she can understand how parents should treat their children and how Kody failed to be an ideal father.

Our take on Maddie Brown’s departure from Kody Brown

Maddie is aware of how her mother was mistreated by Kody

There are a few reasons why the oldest Brown children turned on Kody, but the most obvious is the three sister wives. Most viewers know that Madison, Paedon, Gabe and many other children are close to their mothers. So it makes sense that they share the same opinions as Christine, Janelle, and Meri. Majority adult children who don’t like Kody care more about their mothers and understand what they went through. They probably find it hard to respect Kody because they saw how he treated the three of them Sister Wives in the last ten years.
