Kody Brown: Part-Time Father, Full-Time Asshat

Kody’s newly acquired word of the week seems to be gaslighting. It’s interesting how he accuses everyone of gaslighting but completely fails to grasp that his behaviour is the exact definition of gaslighting. It shows how distorted his views of the world (and of himself!) have become.

Which also shows that he doesn't understand what the word actually means. 

[Shelbie]

Twenty years from now when the bulk of his children have partners and children and their own homes and rarely see him he will sit in his closet of deep thoughts and rock back and forth saying “they’re all gaslighting me”.
He will never connect his behaviour to consequences and will continue to blame everyone else.

[LilyD]

One of Kody’s many actions I just cannot understand:

Why did he encourage/beg/tell his wives to leave, instead of walking away himself? You’d think he’d want to be the one to make that decision, with his love for himself, his huge inflated ego and desire to be in control? You know, the cool dude that got rid of his awful wives?

 He’ll now forever be that pathetic guy going through the humiliating experience of being dumped by three of his 4 wives  and hung out to dry on national tv!

Evidently that is highly frowned upon in plural marriage. Wives can choose to divorce but husbands cannot.

[xwordfanatik]

All the better to make the women the bad guys, and the sperm donor look like such a diligent husband, who wouldn't dream of unloading a wife or wives.  "Look, kids, your nasty mommies left me, and isn't that just awful?"

😡

[Absolom]

He'll try that and hopefully they'll all respond well Dad you drove them away.

To be fair (which doesn't come easily when I talk about Kody), Solomon might know the names but not what the people look like now. So Kody may have been reminding which faces went with which names. Or not. It's Kody.

Exactly. If Robyn and Kody cared about them knowing their siblings, they would know them. Even with their super strict COVID rules, they could have made sure the kids were connecting via video chat during that time. Instead, they isolated them and cut everyone off.

And yet when Kody was sittin' there with Meri on their sad 30th anniversary bitch session picnic he flat out said that "if a wife is unhappy...then maybe she should leave and find happiness". Contradiction for sure.

Kody said it when he didn't think anyone would leave him. How could they, when he and his ringlets are Perfect?  And yet the wives remembered it and when they DID say they were leaving Kody threw a fit. Well, not really with Janelle; he threw the fit BEFORE she decided for sure to leave, although I think she'd been mulling it ever since Christine started working through doing. After all, Janelle told Christine to be self-supporting before she left and you know she was also thinking to herself, hmmm, I already am.

[LilyD]

The guy really has some very serious mental issues, whatever it is. And if someone is still in doubt about that; it’s progressing. What will he be like in 5 years time? His delusional state already is scary….

I think part of Kody's rage was that Christine played him. He didn't want anything to do with her. He barely kept up with 'her' children, but Christine was getting her ducks in a row. She got Ysabel's surgery done and Ysabel recovered and graduated from high school with a college plan before finalizing the relationship with Kody. He couldn't do anything about the equity in the house because that was dealt with prior so that he could buy Robyn's house. And Christine already had a reasonable "trade" for the value in Coyote Pass since it's worth on paper was very close to her house equity. She jumped when the market was good and took "his" money with her. His old control tactics which had always worked with Christine didn't work once she was officially done with him. Cue Kody Brown toddler fits.

[Shelbie]

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that Kody stamped his feet and threw things at the wall when he finally realized that Christine played him and was no longer willing to be subservient to him.

[suzeecat]

Maybe Christine could get a spinoff show where she counsels unhappy wives in polygamy on how to get out safely and with their own lives intact.

Grandma Annie can help her.  I wonder how similar Annie's polygamist old life and Christine's, are.  We know that Annie had left Christine's dad by the time Christine met and married Kootie.  Annie didn't go to their wedding, and was against the marriage.

I don't remember why Annie was against their marriage. Was it because it was plural? Or was it Kody in particular?

[Sandy W]

As I recall, the circumstance was that as Annie had left the AUB and was critical of plural marriage, she was banished from the church and wasn't allowed to attend.

That's why Christine's wedding gown was so ill fitting. The no contact order from the church extended to Christine and Annie getting together to construct the dress

Taking my response to the Christine thread. 

[AZChristian]

I haven't watched this show for quite some time.  But today I had breakfast with an internet friend with whom I used to be on a FB page about Sister Wives.

She asked if I still watched the show, and I told her that all I see of it any more are the commercials about it on TLC and other channels.  After a lovely 2-hour breakfast, we said our good-byes and hubby and I resumed a long trip.

And tonight we're sitting in a hotel room, watching the new season of Sister Wives.  I'm afraid I've just gotten re-obsessed with it, just to see how delusional Kody is.

[BAForever]

Welcome back @AZChristian. I recognize your name from other forums. Yes, the show is 22 or so months behind. Yes, we all know what happens to Janelle, Christine and Meri- but watching Robyn dry-cry and Kody implode and use all kinds of words incorrectly is glorious. 

[Teri313]

 

[Zahdii]

OMG!  Hilarious!  The spiral curls, the shades flopping down over his eyes during his dramatic declaration of all he's sacrificed just to LOVE HER!  It goes nicely with his moobs and his beer belly refusing to be hidden by his overly large tee shirt.

Kody is like is like human herpes: once you've got him, you can never quite get rid of him.  There is no sex good enough to chance getting stuck with him.

[BnJJ]

I am so tired of hearing him going on about his heartbreak.  What is there to be heartbroken over?  He wasn't attracted to Christine from day one.  He was grossed out by the way she ate.  He did like how she treated her sister wives.  He felt that she wanted too much of this time.  And the list goes on.

There is no heartbreak.  His massive ego took a knife to its kidney.

[Yeah No]

Sure, she wanted more of his time, but I'm sure it was not "too much".  It was only too much because he didn't even like her much less love her.  And if he knew how to make each of his wives feel special and it wasn't ALL about his needs over theirs, the exact amount of time he spent with each of them wouldn't have been an issue.  I just can't get over how FOS he was about "love being multiplied, not divided".  Why haven't Christine and Janelle in particular told him he was a HUGE failure at that?  In fact, he failed at the VERY THING he wanted the public to believe about polygamy.  Nice going there, asshole!

[dariafan]

He wouldn’t let janelle finish her thoughts. It give her the ability to fix what she wanted to say.   And he still only has Robyn’s version of the phone call from the boys   I wonder which of Robyn’s children he will turn on first ?

Probably turn on sweet Sol, who doesn't appear to be living up to Kody's expectations.

[Adeejay]

I just can't get over Kody trying to humiliate Janelle and Christine by saying that he “courted” Meri and Robyn, but he didn’t “court” them.  Let’s see, the two he courted gave him a grand total of three kids, while the two “interlopers” gave him a total of 12.  Perhaps someone should tell this idiot to put that subject to rest, because it makes him look and sound worse than he already does.

I don’t have a guess on that but Robyn’s “loyalty” to him is outrageous. Does she really think she and her children are “safe” from Kody’s wrath?

David is already almost erased from Kody's memory banks.  I'd say it's a tossup between Solomon and Breeana for next in line.

Does anyone think there will be a time this season when someone asks him what his plans are for Coyote Pass?  At this point in the current season has Christine signed the quit claim on her share?  Will Janelle and Meri bring it up?

$150 for less than 60 seconds of Doouchecanoe singing??  You gotta be kidding me!

This seems like a bunch of hooey designed by Douchie to keep people interested in him and Mrs. Douchie.  I doubt Sobbyn has the guts to actually tell her "best customer" to get out of the mansion.  That's a pile of crap, imho.

Hilarious if true, but Robyn is at least smart enough to know she's too dumb to eke out a living on her own. She may not want him without the other wives anymore, but she's stuck with him. She's still in a McMansion decorated with the aesthetics of an 8 year old from 1970; until she's in a single wide trailer with a broken down porch, she's not done with him.

And as a vocalist, I can tell you with complete confidence that no one listens to the lyrics. I've completely messed up Bad Reputation and Don't Stop Me Now onstage and no one noticed. He saw "King of the Road," thought "that's me, I'm the king," and then squeaked out some of the other lyrics without thinking about them.

It would be. It's not true, or recent, though.

I'm trying to find the Cameo they reference, where Kody sang the altered lyrics to "King of the Road," because I know I watched it quite some time ago.

That article from Soap Dirt strikes me as just an SEO piece. They didn't even link to the Cameo (or to Kody's Cameo page). All/most of the links are internal to their site, to drive up SEO. 

This article, from June of 2023, mentions that Without A Crystal Ball shared the Cameo, so we at least know it's that old.

I don't usually like to share or watch her stuff, but here's the WOACB video, and Kody's ditty is right at the top.

 

I also think that Robyn did not kick out Kody. I didn't watch the whole video, because I don't like her. But? If WOACB claimed that, it would be a case of WOACB taking something that doesn't outright say something (in this case, a song parody somehow serving as a separation admission) and treating it like it's a fact and the truth. 

At any rate, we know Kody and Robyn were together after he filmed that Cameo, which would have been at least as far back as May or June. Kody and Robyn went to Gwendlyn's July wedding reception together.

Also, this weekend, someone took a picture of them together in the Dallas Fort Worth Airport (I saw it on Reddit somewhere).

Kody has a tendency to push away his sons as they grow older, so definitely Sol. I had high hopes for Breanna at one point, but she is becoming more and more like AuROARa (apart from the cringe-worthy whining)

I fully expect Ari to turn on Kody when her time comes. She and Kody are too much alike, and she already seems to have a bit of an attitude. (I would definitely watch a SW episode about that!)

Kidney is looking exactly like Charles Manson and acting crazy like he would too. 

[goofygirl]

So, Douchie's an ass. A GINORMOUS ASS.  But we can't compare the dude to Charles Manson, can we? Seriously?  He hasn't murdered anyone.

Just a plain old run of the mill, JACKASS.

I think it's more the fact that he resembles Manson with the wild ass hair and dead, cold eyes. 

[monagatuna]

Pretty sure Manson never killed anyone, either. He was just a cult leader. And Kody is a member of a cult that has murdered people. I take your point, though. But the resemblance is uncanny. I can't tell if the photo above is a photoshop of Kody or a photo of Manson; they are so similar in expression and cold, dead, beady eyes.

Please know that I'm being tongue-in-cheek above and don't actually think Kody would murder someone. However, I am a little nervous for Robyn and those kids living in his house. Kody seems like he's at the end of his rope and I really hope they come to limited harm (I wish I could say no harm, but they're all emotionally abusing or isolating those kids at a minimum).

I don't like Robyn or the Robynettes but yeah, Kody has been devolving. All the wives have noticed and talked about it. It's not all about Christine leaving him, much as he blames EVERYTHING on that. He was marginally a father to the OG kids in Las Vegas, but the move to Flagstaff and then the Covid separation of the households really did a number on him. And, of course, on a many of the family relationships. 

The older OG kids grew up without Kody and they turned out great with the support of the moms. Kody cannot STAND that. His world is unraveling and he doesn't know how to deal with it except to get more rigid and demanding which isn't working. 

I just know I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Kody these days. Or those days, since they're so far behind in showing us stuff.

Manson killed plenty of people; he just used other people to do it. See also Sharon Tate and her unborn child; the LoBianco family; etc.

He told Janelle Robyn is loyal and he’s the he’s did the house hold there. If janelle let him be head of the household, that man would complain even more he’s doing all the work.  He would tell her to make her own decisions and figure it out ( you know like she’s been doing ).  And again I ask . What is he doing to his face ?  It’s not even the same shape anymore !

[toodywoody]

You're right, he would say that to her. He always had the women handle all the hard shit, because he was just too damned busy. Hell, he couldn't even help Christine when she was working at night. Since Jenelle doesn't have any chicken tenders at home, he would say he needed to be there for them and would never be at her place. Plus he wouldn't be able to find solace in Robyn and be able to shower her with affection. So, he would be just as pissed as he was in 2022 and instead of blaming Christine, he would blame how Jenelle wasn't doing this or that.
