In a recent interview on FOX 5 New York, Kody Brown, star of Sister Wives, opened up about his strained relationships with his 13 older children, emphasizing that he is only “partly to blame” for the rift that has developed over the years. Brown, known for his roles on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test and Sister Wives, revealed that his children had strong relationships with him until the divorces with his ex-wives Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown took place.
Brown shared, “I am only partly to blame. All of my children had a great relationship with me until the divorces.” He acknowledged that the divorces caused his children to become “victims” as they were forced to choose sides, ultimately leading to closer relationships with their mothers due to the nature of polygamy.
Despite the challenges he has faced in maintaining relationships with his children, Brown expressed his efforts to reach out and mend the strained bonds. He acknowledged that rebuilding a relationship that has suffered for years is a difficult process, describing it as “unpretty.”
In response to comments made by his ex-wife Meri about signing a non-disclosure agreement, Brown clarified that it was related to a business transaction rather than being a part of the show. He emphasized that everyone involved in the family’s breakup holds a share of responsibility, refusing to place the blame solely on his shoulders.
Fans of Sister Wives expressed skepticism towards Brown’s claims, with many disagreeing that everyone should be considered accountable for the breakdown of the family dynamic. Some viewers criticized Brown for attempting to rewrite history and questioned why the children’s perspectives were not being given a platform to speak for themselves.
Season 20 of Sister Wives continues to air on TLC, while Brown can also be seen on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test on FOX. Despite the challenges he faces in repairing his relationships with his children, Brown remains committed to working towards reconciliation and healing.
