All. The. Shadow.
One of Cody Brown’s kids threw the same thing at his own father.
And, honestly? We are totally here for it.
On the latest episode of The Authentic Society Podcast, the 29-year-old — who is the child of Kody and ex-wife Janelle Brown — explained in detail her decision to cut her famous (infamous?) father out of her life.
Maddie, who is pregnant with her fourth child with husband Caleb Brush, said, “I have no contact with some of my family, and that’s because of the events that have happened.”
The reality star lashed out a bit on this podcast, saying that “some people don’t deserve to be in your life” and then added:
“I always get messages from people who say, ‘You should forgive your father [and] respect him.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t think you know what you’re talking about because your experience with your father may be very different than my experience with my father.'”
Just last month, Mykelti Brown expressed similar sentiments. He believes that fame has changed Cody for the worse.
“They have no respect for boundaries, and you have to play by their rules, and I don’t care about doing that,” Maddie said on the podcast.
Going back a few years, Sister Wives viewers saw how strict rules Kody implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, essentially not allowing any of his family members to see anyone outside of the family .
Such strict guidelines largely affected his relationship with his sons Gabe and Garrison.
By all accounts, Cody was not on speaking terms to Garrison at the time the 25-year-old committed suicide in March.
Maddie added, “My dad would get very angry when I did that… I’m a straight shooter, you ask me a question, I’ll tell you what I think.”
“And he would get very angry when I would say, ‘I don’t know why you’re surprised here.’ And that was one of the reasons why I didn’t make contact because it seemed like he didn’t like the mirror being held up.”
“Was very angry and was like, ‘That’s not true!’ And I’m like, ‘It’s true.’
Kody Brown acting ignorant and narcissistic? Lack of any and all empathy? We are surprised!
Kody has a total of 18 children with Janelle, Christine, Meri, and Robin Brown.
His spiritual marriage to Christine and Janelle ended in 2021 and 2022, respectively… while Meri confirmed in January 2023 that she and Kody had ended their spiritual marriage.
“I think parts of him were always like that, but I think the show changed his personality,” Mykelti previously said, referring to the selfish and oblivious man at the center of Sister Wives season 19.
“Fame does that to people. It just transforms you. And having to struggle with your mistakes on TV, having them thrown in your face over and over again for 14 years, it changes you.
