Kody checked out of the other marriages as soon as he married Robyn. He stopped caring about his wives, he stopped being a parent to the kids he had with them. It wasn’t plural marriage. It was a married man that found a mistress and choose the mistress over his responsibilities.
It was a narcissist with a harem. And I'm still trying to figure out why any of them married him in the first place. Well, except for Sobyn. She wanted to be on TV and have others support her.
And that mistress is still gloating over her trophy. I notice it in EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. and then she wonders why the girls don't like her. Well, except Meri. Poor Poor Meri.
Re:comment: I totally agree with your comment here. I’m listening to the grown up kids & precisely what they’re saying about their dads treatment of them! Plus how they feel about their dad’s relationship with their mom’s & themselves, after Robyn was in the family! So…that’s all I’m doing. Just listening to the kids & their feelings about everything that’s happening to this very day!
That makes me sick that McKelti blamed Meri for having an emotional affair and saying she cheated on him! 😡 he divorced her and ignored her. She was heartbroken and turned to someone else. I’m not saying that she was perfect, but Kody married three other women, divorced Meri to marry Robyn and then proceeded to ignore her, I don’t blame her for anything she did in her relationship with him after that. How dare McKelti!
@@virginiagroff5191 I think she’s a little too much like her dad and Robyn. Don’t forget she went to live with Robyn for awhile to take care of her kids before the marriage and who knows after the marriage too maybe. 🤷🏻♀️
@@craftiladyhonestly McKelty was probably talking to Leon when it was happening and Leon was very againt their own mother. The whole family is screwed.
Wasn’t Mykelti the one Meri was accused of having a very bad verbal and physical altercation with (allegedly) I thought I’d heard in a video that the altercations were so bad that it’s what caused Christine to distance herself from Meri. If Mykelti was on fact the child that went through that with Meri I highly doubt she’d have anything nice to say about Meri!
They have 5 parents and eventually 17 siblings. Humans don't need strong emotional support from so many people, when they are in such strong numbers. @@americangirl8970
I think Kody’s favoritism for Robyn wasn’t only her being the youngest, but also that she did things for her “best customer”. Yeah- those kinds of things
Just more examples of why Polygamy does NOT work! I don't know how Kody thinks that he is enough to keep multiple women (and children) happy! I feel very sorry for all of his children who were cheated out of a decent and attentive father.
Because he uses, the Bible is an example of why it should be lived forgetting that every instance of polygamy brought up in the Bible did not end well for the people involved
I watched the show a few times but I am totally disgusted with polygamy. It is so demeaning to woman and their worth as a person. It is a great thing for men who want to put down women and use them for their pleasure. I do feel so sorry for the children. He is creepy just saying!
I’m not surprised these women left. They were exposed to how religious free women live and think. They had to start questioning that faith just through their children’s eyes
I don’t know, Meri, Janelle & Christine seem to be incredible strong independent mothers on their own. I think being raised within a reality TV show/business might have more ill effect on their lives than an absent father.
He could not go for even a few days due to Covid restrictions or leave "his family" but left for most of a week to officiated his buddy's wedding where no masks are in sight. And dancing a lot closer the six feet.
@@martyf3531 he used covid as an excuse for everything .even before covid .he always had excuses about this and that.only when the cameras where on him he pretended to be mr perfect and a good caring father and husband to his wives and children.i wounder what it was like when the camera were of????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Of course she wasn't his priority. He had a marriage to officiate and to show off his dance moves. Now what else would you expect a narcissist to do? No wonder some animals eat their young.
Meri never cheated she never even met the guy Robin fessed up that she knew the person who catfished Meri and Kody still said it was an affair but it was a woman he was talking to not a man
@@joycesmith3259 Robyn had a hand in setting it up! I’m guessing she was passing information through her friend to the catfish on what to say to Meri! She wanted to make sure she was the queen bee!
Since when did Mykelty become "marriage counsellor"? How about to analyze her own actions and to first show some respect for her own biological mother, then for "moms" who helped raising her (Mary & Janelle) way before "poor me; me & my kids are victims here" Robyn? Makes one wonder what's in this young woman's (Mykelty) head???
In the fact that robin had a nanny, there's christine begging him for help in lehigh when she was pregnant with Truly … but Cody couldn't be bothered. Cody couldn't be bothered because he was courting robin
None of the other wives ever had a nanny, and they all worked outside the home! Why did Robyn need help, when she doesn't even work? It makes no sense!
The only reason Robyn & Kody came to the wedding to save face. It would look really bad if the father of the bride didn't show up for the wedding, and there's, no way he's going to show up without a wife! It's obvious they don't want "their" kids associating with the rest of the family. I'm happy for Christine & David, you can't fake that happy glow they both have, and it seems like most of the rest of the family are happy about it too! I hope TLC doesn't make it so they have to show up for her wedding( because that's what I can see happening if they are filming the wedding!)
I think Mykelti called him and told him to get there. Bad idea to boycott wedding. Didn’t have enough time to get kids ready to go. Being a bar was an excuse.
Robyn makes me SICK. Her face contorts trying to squeeze out a tear (that never materializes). Robyn didn’t work. The other 3 women paid for everything and that along with the perceived embarrassment when the truth came out is what they were upset about. Kody has basically admitted (not even basically, he actually admitted) that he never loved Meri, Janelle and Christine. He mistreated them and their children for years. Kody and Robyn should be ashamed. I hope they spend the rest of their earthly life taking a hard look at themselves. This was probably the best season watching the three women take their power back and move towards a healthy future.
I have always thought that Kody hauling everyone and everything all over creation was largely to blame for the dissolution of this family (topped off with Kodys jumping off the sanity cliff during covid). The setup in Vegas was so perfect. It's not surprising that Kody moved everyone to Flagstaff for their son. Imo if they'd stayed in Las Vegas,they might still be all together (or maybe the wives would've Xed Kody out and be together in harmony on their cul-de-sac). They all worked so hard for the cul-de-sac to be perfect, it's like once they accomplished that, it wasn't good enough any more.
I never understood why they had to keep uprooting the entire family, moving to different states, and building new houses each time. What they had in Las Vegas was perfect! I think you're right, it's like Kody got bored once they accomplished all the building and setting up their lives in a new place. After that, it was time to move on! I feel terrible for the children having to be the victims of all of the craziness.
I think the Vegas set-up was best for the children. They could be with their Mom & immediate siblings, but then could see their half-siblings & their other "moms" on a daily basis. Probably had the best access to their father as well with him being so close. I imagine that is part of the reason that Kody wanted out....too much accountability....too hard to hide from his kids & his "wives".
Logan, Maddie, Gabe, Garrison, and Truely are all great kids! Great job Christine! I love that Leon has received support from Meri, and Leon and Audrey look SO happy! I think the Brown kids turned out really well - in spite of their cult upbringing. @@meggie423
I think mykelty has always been team robyn and kody. Maybe kody and robyn made her feel special. Still i would always be on my mom's side. Especially with a self centered father like kody.
It’s hard for kids to choose. Mykelti may have the personality of Sweden. Family fixer. And they shouldn’t have to choose. Kody wants them to but the wives don’t.
Early on Robyn said things to mykelti like if she had trouble with her mom she could come to her and things to that effect. It’s in the early shows. Groomed well.
Robin is responsible for the alienation of Cody out of the kids lives. He chose her and her kids over all the other wives and his bio kids. When push comes to shove, it's Cody's fault. Nobody else's because he allowed her to manipulate him. He let the Wolf in. His chicken coop, And to be honest, Robin came into this marriage with an agenda. To be the only legal wife and to get all the money. And they have her kids a priority. And she didn't care about anything else. I honestly want to see how long she's gonna stay with Cody. Once the money runs out, it may take a while. Because I know he has a big stash. And so does she she's got the highest net worth? Of all the other wives, I don't know how since she's never hold a job. You can Google it and see that she has the most money out of the other wives. She's stacking it in her bank. So that when it's time for her to leave Cody. When the money runs out, she can get a lawyer and keep her mansion on the Hill. She's not a stupid woman.
Kody has no idea how to be a husband, dad or decent human being. He is responsible for his marriage and how to treat his wife/wives. One wife is a tough job, more than one is impossible.
Yes, it's sad, I 💯 agree. However, I knew that it would have happened from season 1. The family dynamic was doomed because of Kody and the introduction of Robyn. You could see the cracks early on, especially with how Christine spoke of feeling replaced by Robyn and her kids. You could see right away how Robyn had an agenda and always spoke of HER kids' needs. I think that despite the heartache of the family breaking up, the majority of the Brown clan, the OG3 wives, and their children are better off. They are away from the toxicity of Kody and Robyn.
No, living with a narcisst is sad. Trust me the kids are lucky to not see their father. Better than being abused. The wives are lucky to be strong enough to leave. I am happy because this is not real polygamy and unessacary today with women rights to live without being selled on a market and being able to work as a women. Polygamy is stupid today.
I'm taking pleasure in the fact that three wives and all the OG kids have been liberated from a misogynistic and abu$ive cult! It's not about a family falling apart, so much as it about folks being liberated from a toxic cult! It's also about supporting women who leave abu$ive relationships! I LOVE THAT PART OF THIS SHOW! It's also a master class in narcissism. No one is cheering a family falling apart, but celebrating freedom and liberation from a cult, and toxic relationships. I think it would be more sad if all the kids chose to live in polygamy, and the wives all stayed in toxic and dysfunctional relationships!
I just don’t get him, he told Christine he didn’t love her, wasn’t attracted to her, and didn’t want to work on it but expected her to stay married to him? I feel like he wanted and would’ve been fine if Meri left, never expected Christine to leave, and was furious Janelle would not just keep things how they were in their relationship at the time… him and Robyn have each other - their problems and narcissism will hit its point too Im sure, I remember back when he divorced Meri legally to marry Robyn because of wanting to adopt her kids in case something happened and not thinking it was such a huge deal but I was wrong, that was a smoke screen, her ex-husband apparently was not a bad man at all and was not ok with not seeing his kids… so she spun in it a way that made that necessary for safety and other reasons - it was all selfish and the beginning of the end! I’m so happy these adult kids are able to see their dad for who he really is - Kody can think it’s their moms telling them what to think or brainwashing them against him, but you reap what you sow… it’s just impossible for him to take any responsibility or ownership on how his choices and actions alienated his children and they are capable of forming their own opinions! When almost everyone you know is saying the same thing about u, it’s time to point the finger at yourself and see what you’re doing wrong and accept that u made mistakes - nope! Denial and deflection, it’s always everyone else that’s wrong!
It's interesting that none of the children want pleural marriage and you wonder if their experiences have influenced that. I am not a Mykelti fan I think she put her Mother in a difficult situation when she did the leaving get together. She seems to favour Kody and Robyn over her Mother
It's not really about polygamy. They have been emotionally abused & neglected by a narcissistic parent part which they associated with polygamy. So this meant understandably a lot of suffering for the children. Without the strength of the wifes like Christine the kids would have been thrown under the bus by every chance Kody could get. People are replaceable like toasters to individuals like him.
I feel sorry for these kids because if you remember back in vegas truly almost died Because he was so worried about robin's children, he had to be with them
No, she almost died, because Cody couldn’t afford medical insurance for all of his family. If you can’t take care of, everybody, don’t have kids. However, they do call it , bleeding the beast, the polygamist do. This is when he is married to one woman so the rest of them can be on welfare, which means all the kids have Medicaid. The women get a monthly check for each child. Free health and dental insurance. Nearly free or free housing and food stamps. Pleading the beast is bleeding the taxpayers dry.
You can actually go back to season 3, I believe, during the 4th of July episode, the one where Meri goes off on the older kids for mistreating Robyn's children...and at the beginning of that segment, there are no images of this incident but you hear Brianna crying and saying "Paedon hit me in the mouth" (which Paedon says is probably true, not blaming Brianna here) and then you hear Paedon start crying and saying "Why Dad?" and then you hear Logan saying "Dad, what the hell?" and there is little doubt in my mind, that Kody hit Paedon.
The Mormon church likes to rave about them being ALL about family. And yet, children who have parents that don’t match the church’s views of a “Christ-like” marriage are forced to renounce their family’s in order to join a church that’s all about the importance of family…
Being involved with a narcissist (Kody) erodes your sense of self, lowers self-esteem, and causes crippling self-doubt. These impacts can show up in a number of ways for people, and often take several years (and a lot of therapy) to recover from. ALL THE OG WIVES suffered from years of narcissistic abuse by Kody. Narcissistic abuse occurs when a narcissist progressively manipulates and mistreats people to gain control over them, creating a toxic environment full of emotional, psychological, financial, sexual, or physical harm. Narcissists exploit those around them through gaslighting, sabotaging, love-bombing, lying, and twisting situations to suit their needs. As a result, victims can suffer long-term effects from their abuse. KODY ALONE IS RESPONSIBLE!!!
Children aren't needy dolls 🎎. With eventually 5 parents and 17 siblings, they have more than enough emotional support and mental stimulation, even if one relationship is weak.
@@asekuvena so you have said in another post to me. So let me respond again. If your mom disappears and you have lots of siblings it just wouldn’t matter or have a negative effect? I’m guessing you don’t work with children or families, social work, law enforcement, counseling or anything that would help you understand family dynamics.
If you already have a close relationship with your mother yes. And the resources and attention being removed will be a downside. But neither is the case here.@@ATXInv
If Kody had shown Meri true love, Respect and care for her. She never would look outside the marriage. People need to stop blaming her. He is the reason his wives have left him he is a jerk.
As far as the children go, the mothers are the ones raising the children. Kody just blows through each house like the wind. When his daughter had her back surgery, he didn't go because he didn't want to risk Covid for himself. I would have risked bubonic plague if that was my child. His one son says basically Kody is irrelevant for the grown children. That's sad.
There are literally thousands of people who find it easier to love small children because they look up to you and as they get older they express their dislike or disagree or let you know that they know the truth! This is why he pulls away as his children get older. They are no longer easily manipulted!
I am so proud of all of the Brown's that were brave enough to get out from under the oppression of your former life. Good luck to you all if you ever come to Buffalo, NY, and I show you around all the beauty of Western New York. ✌️🤟🤘🤶
I immediately noticed Kodys favoritism towards Robyn’s kids vs. his kids with his other wives. First it was sad to see how interested and engaged he was with Solomon vs. Truely 😢he even held him WAY more and there is NO reason why
Their experience of a father is so different than a monogamy family has. He’s represented as a Father Figure, a representation of a patriarch leader. No one can spread themselves around 18 kids evenly or lovely on a daily basis. That’s just one harmful reason this religion is really negligent and abusive towards kids. Kids don’t bond healthily so it’s easy for them watch him at a distant and critique him. Not any real love loss. That’s why Kody asks for just some respect . Not that he wants a real loving father/child relationship. Sad
How he can say polygamy is best when no one can spread themselves around all those kids. I see monogamist with large families have trouble. It’s not fair to the kids. It’s the adults making the choice to make themselves happy not thinking what will happen to the children. It’s selfish
Melkellti puts her own mother in uncomfortable situations. Which makes her a prime example of not being a good daughter......so she has no room trash talking about Meri. Im sure she sits there and listens to kody and robyn trash talk her mother instead of taking a stand. Because as long as they are giving her things, she is okay with it.....she should show her own mother the same respect ( if not more) as she shows Kody and Robyn!!!!
Kudos to Paedon. Kody was a pretty rotten dad, consumed by his own ego and convinced that once the kids were no longer "little ones" they could take care of themselves. Kody checked out of plurality when he met Robyn. Kudos to Meri who loved the kids so much that she willingly went through a divorce from Kody so that Robyn's kids could be adopted. Kody checked out of marriage to Meri when Robyn appeared.
The fact that Meri didn’t know who she was talking to proves that she didn’t cheat because if she was actually cheating she would know who she was cheating with.
#PaedonBrown is just like #Kody he is a #RightWing #Misogynist who had to be kicked out of his mother's home for verbally & physically abusing his younger sisters, his other family members admitted that he was kicked out by his mom, but it was he who admitted it was about being abusive that's why you never seen him very often in picks with his mom & sisters mostly just the boys in the family & very few other sisters!
Oh…interesting. I wonder if any of the wives knew that. He really hates women then. To have that attitude at such a young age. No wonder he decided to become polygamist. He could own and Lord over women. He doesnt know how to have a real relationship with a woman. Hmm
I do not like Paedon Brown! I don't like his attitude or his politics. He thinks he is so much better then everyone else. I've got news for him. He's not.
Kody not being there for ysabels surgery is horrible. I had scoliosis surgery when i was 12. One of the hardest things i ever went through. 5 days in the hospital. I had to learn how to walk again. I couldnt go to school for a long time and fell back. I can’t imagine going through that without my parents. Horrible.
🤣 His dancing is hysterical! 🤣 I saw a poligamist man try to dance years ago and it was truly the weirdest thing I'd ever seen, just as funny. I love how he conveniently says he doesn't feel married anymore. In normal marriages, we try to work things out or divorce, but in their crazy land , they usually just stay married and the man continues to be verbally and often physically abusive, while the women are guilt tripped about even considering to leave. It's their duty to put up with abuse and BS
Well, now we know what happens when you treat your children the way Cody treated his. One beautiful , smart, loving young man took his own life. Robert Garrison Brown rest in peace. May you find your lost soul and return to us as soon as you can.
This is why this shit is illegal in certain states. Sending all these kids right to therapy in their adult lives. There is no way any parent can have that many kids and not neglect them. Case in point....the duggars.
I knew that once that family moved to Flagstaff it was because of Robyn child going to college that.. that was going to split the entire family up. Clearly he chose a favorite wife because they were all doing well where they were staying but he wanted to please her because she was the only legal legitimate wife and all the other women didn't matter... The kids were grown they had their own girlfriends and wives and husbands so it didn't really matter at this point he wanted to do it for him and his own children with her
I believe the cat fishing incident is all about Mary being heartbroken that she needed to get a divorce from kody .so that Cody could marry robin. I think she was heartbroken and she went on the internet to find love ,I don't think she did it for any reason but she was heart broken, that she made a decision for kody and robin something I don't think she really wanted to do in the 1st place
You're right but I think Kody gave Meri a lot of pressure to get the divorce. Meri was lonely, sad, and frustrated so it made her the perfect victim for a romance scheme. Kody once said she was as loyal as an old dog so he was very surprised and angry that she flirted online with a person she thought was a man. He used that as his reason to try to get rid of her.
Funny how he said you shouldnt kiss, hold hands, or touch before marriage but he was sure all over Robyn for Months before they got married. When they left Vegas they wasnt running from anything but running for Robyn for his College because Robyn cant be away from her kids but then the other wives have to move away from their kids.
The same person (a lady it turns out) that just happened to be a face book friend of Robyn’s. You cannot help but wonder if Robyn planned the cat fishing!
My parents were of the Generation that were taught Corporal punishment was a valid way to raise kids, so we were "spanked" if we stepped out of line. Well, I can recall (and I must have been about 5-6 years old at the time) considering doing something that I REALLY wanted to do, but knew that I would be punished if I did it, and thinking to myself "Yes, I could get spanked, but the sting will only last for awhile and I REALLY want to do this!" So I did. Yeah that's my tale of how effective Corporal punishment was as a parenting tool! 🙄🙄
Prior to Garrison passing, I think Meri had been the wife to go through the most trauma and hardship (and that’s really saying something considering what Janelle and Christine also went through). But she is normally forgotten and pushed to the side, thought to be dumb with no self respect. This woman tried to courageously and happily accept 3 women into her marriage and selflessly worked to make it work, made sacrifices, watched as other women got easily pregnant with her husband even though she struggles greatly emotionally and physically with infertility. She went to work and supported the family financially. SHE offered to divorce Kody, to make things easier for Robyn. This woman strived so hard to have a positive attitude and make this work, and KodyRobyn put her through the grinder and shamed her for having the audacity to be emotionally manipulated by a catfish. These poor women have been used and abused (not Sobbin Robyn though).
Cody openly stated he was never attracted to Christine what a horrible person to take thiss young girl as she was when they met and marry her..but it all workd out because she did find a good man in the end....still that shine a bright light on the kind of person that dirt bag Cody really si
Kody checked out of the other marriages as soon as he married Robyn. He stopped caring about his wives, he stopped being a parent to the kids he had with them.
It wasn’t plural marriage. It was a married man that found a mistress and choose the mistress over his responsibilities.
It was a narcissist with a harem. And I'm still trying to figure out why any of them married him in the first place. Well, except for Sobyn. She wanted to be on TV and have others support her.

It will still affect them. They basically grew up without the emotional or financial support of a father. Plus he was a narcissist.
The kids had parents that gave them open minds despite being raised in dysfunction and poverty.
It still hurts. This really triggered memories for me that I thought were long buried so i know that pain and my dad didnt have 4 wives or 18 kids .

She stroked his ego constantly. She made him believe he was always right. Even if she didn’t believe it. Such a good Mormon wife.

Down on her knees I bet
Kody is a selfish narcissist. He only cares about himself and those who are catering to his interests.
Yes and he got worse with age which is normal for narcissts
He was just a donor. Father is not in his agendas.

The only reason Robyn & Kody came to the wedding to save face. It would look really bad if the father of the bride didn't show up for the wedding, and there's, no way he's going to show up without a wife! It's obvious they don't want "their" kids associating with the rest of the family.
I'm happy for Christine & David, you can't fake that happy glow they both have, and it seems like most of the rest of the family are happy about it too! I hope TLC doesn't make it so they have to show up for her wedding( because that's what I can see happening if they are filming the wedding!)
I think Mykelti called him and told him to get there. Bad idea to boycott wedding. Didn’t have enough time to get kids ready to go. Being a bar was an excuse.
Mykelti is a horrible person to blame Meri for anything. He checked out. He cheated.
Микелти папина дочь .
I would love to see Kooter Brown marry a younger wife with kids to see how well this goes over with Sobbin Robyn and her royal children!!! 😂😂😂
I've never even watched the show, but I'll tune in to see that.
Oh me too!
Robyn makes me SICK. Her face contorts trying to squeeze out a tear (that never materializes). Robyn didn’t work. The other 3 women paid for everything and that along with the perceived embarrassment when the truth came out is what they were upset about. Kody has basically admitted (not even basically, he actually admitted) that he never loved Meri, Janelle and Christine. He mistreated them and their children for years. Kody and Robyn should be ashamed. I hope they spend the rest of their earthly life taking a hard look at themselves. This was probably the best season watching the three women take their power back and move towards a healthy future.
Where is all the money coming from for all this moving?
How are the former wives surviving financially?
This is craziness
I just can't watch him "dance." Creeps me out. I'm so embarrassed for him because he doesn't have enough sense to be embarrassed for himself.
Dancing is a lot easier than sitting by your daughter's bed after surgery......covid and all other viruses 😂
That’s the reason I love to watch him dance. He dances as though everyone is watching.
The man has no shame
Как танцует Коди , так и живёт,
I have always thought that Kody hauling everyone and everything all over creation was largely to blame for the dissolution of this family (topped off with Kodys jumping off the sanity cliff during covid). The setup in Vegas was so perfect. It's not surprising that Kody moved everyone to Flagstaff for their son. Imo if they'd stayed in Las Vegas,they might still be all together (or maybe the wives would've Xed Kody out and be together in harmony on their cul-de-sac).
They all worked so hard for the cul-de-sac to be perfect, it's like once they accomplished that, it wasn't good enough any more.
I never understood why they had to keep uprooting the entire family, moving to different states, and building new houses each time. What they had in Las Vegas was perfect! I think you're right, it's like Kody got bored once they accomplished all the building and setting up their lives in a new place. After that, it was time to move on! I feel terrible for the children having to be the victims of all of the craziness.
Kody wonted all the money he could
Get from the wives propety+++
I think the Vegas set-up was best for the children. They could be with their Mom & immediate siblings, but then could see their half-siblings & their other "moms" on a daily basis. Probably had the best access to their father as well with him being so close. I imagine that is part of the reason that Kody wanted out....too much accountability....too hard to hide from his kids & his "wives".
@@rossream1098 😅😅😅
Truely is so beyond -mature!!!!!!! The adult children are intelligent and kind reflections of their mothers ❤
Don’t kid yourself, these women are equally responsible for what they put their kids through.
Except for Aspin and Isabelle all her other kids are brats,good jom Saint Christine🤬
Logan, Maddie, Gabe, Garrison, and Truely are all great kids! Great job Christine! I love that Leon has received support from Meri, and Leon and Audrey look SO happy! I think the Brown kids turned out really well - in spite of their cult upbringing. @@meggie423
Thats not a good sign
I think mykelty has always been team robyn and kody. Maybe kody and robyn made her feel special. Still i would always be on my mom's side. Especially with a self centered father like kody.
It’s hard for kids to choose. Mykelti may have the personality of Sweden. Family fixer. And they shouldn’t have to choose. Kody wants them to but the wives don’t.
Wasn’t she their nanny when they moved to Las Vegas?
@laneneal3510 I agree, but when the father and step mama act the way these two are, I would always choose my mama.
Early on Robyn said things to mykelti like if she had trouble with her mom she could come to her and things to that effect. It’s in the early shows. Groomed well.
She is just like Kody and Robyn. There is a reason she is kissing their asses😮
Robin is responsible for the alienation of Cody out of the kids lives. He chose her and her kids over all the other wives and his bio kids. When push comes to shove, it's Cody's fault. Nobody else's because he allowed her to manipulate him. He let the Wolf in. His chicken coop, And to be honest, Robin came into this marriage with an agenda. To be the only legal wife and to get all the money. And they have her kids a priority. And she didn't care about anything else. I honestly want to see how long she's gonna stay with Cody. Once the money runs out, it may take a while. Because I know he has a big stash. And so does she she's got the highest net worth? Of all the other wives, I don't know how since she's never hold a job. You can Google it and see that she has the most money out of the other wives. She's stacking it in her bank. So that when it's time for her to leave Cody. When the money runs out, she can get a lawyer and keep her mansion on the Hill. She's not a stupid woman.
I understand Janelle saved the lots with stipulation her name goes on. It’s paid
Kody has no idea how to be a husband, dad or decent human being. He is responsible for his marriage and how to treat his wife/wives. One wife is a tough job, more than one is impossible.
Kody is running away from himself and always will, he hasn't got the guts to slow down and look in the mirror.
People are taking so much pleasure in this family falling apart. I think the whole thing is sad
Yes, it's sad, I 💯 agree. However, I knew that it would have happened from season 1. The family dynamic was doomed because of Kody and the introduction of Robyn. You could see the cracks early on, especially with how Christine spoke of feeling replaced by Robyn and her kids. You could see right away how Robyn had an agenda and always spoke of HER kids' needs. I think that despite the heartache of the family breaking up, the majority of the Brown clan, the OG3 wives, and their children are better off. They are away from the toxicity of Kody and Robyn.
No, living with a narcisst is sad. Trust me the kids are lucky to not see their father. Better than being abused. The wives are lucky to be strong enough to leave. I am happy because this is not real polygamy and unessacary today with women rights to live without being selled on a market and being able to work as a women. Polygamy is stupid today.
I'm taking pleasure in the fact that three wives and all the OG kids have been liberated from a misogynistic and abu$ive cult! It's not about a family falling apart, so much as it about folks being liberated from a toxic cult!
It's also about supporting women who leave abu$ive relationships! I LOVE THAT PART OF THIS SHOW!
It's also a master class in narcissism.
No one is cheering a family falling apart, but celebrating freedom and liberation from a cult, and toxic relationships.
I think it would be more sad if all the kids chose to live in polygamy, and the wives all stayed in toxic and dysfunctional relationships!
How do you know people are taking pleasure at anything? Do not speak for anyone but yourself!
I just don’t get him, he told Christine he didn’t love her, wasn’t attracted to her, and didn’t want to work on it but expected her to stay married to him? I feel like he wanted and would’ve been fine if Meri left, never expected Christine to leave, and was furious Janelle would not just keep things how they were in their relationship at the time… him and Robyn have each other - their problems and narcissism will hit its point too Im sure, I remember back when he divorced Meri legally to marry Robyn because of wanting to adopt her kids in case something happened and not thinking it was such a huge deal but I was wrong, that was a smoke screen, her ex-husband apparently was not a bad man at all and was not ok with not seeing his kids… so she spun in it a way that made that necessary for safety and other reasons - it was all selfish and the beginning of the end!
I’m so happy these adult kids are able to see their dad for who he really is - Kody can think it’s their moms telling them what to think or brainwashing them against him, but you reap what you sow… it’s just impossible for him to take any responsibility or ownership on how his choices and actions alienated his children and they are capable of forming their own opinions! When almost everyone you know is saying the same thing about u, it’s time to point the finger at yourself and see what you’re doing wrong and accept that u made mistakes - nope! Denial and deflection, it’s always everyone else that’s wrong!
It's interesting that none of the children want pleural marriage and you wonder if their experiences have influenced that. I am not a Mykelti fan I think she put her Mother in a difficult situation when she did the leaving get together. She seems to favour Kody and Robyn over her Mother
It's not really about polygamy. They have been emotionally abused & neglected by a narcissistic parent part which they associated with polygamy. So this meant understandably a lot of suffering for the children. Without the strength of the wifes like Christine the kids would have been thrown under the bus by every chance Kody could get. People are replaceable like toasters to individuals like him.
I feel sorry for these kids because if you remember back in vegas truly almost died Because he was so worried about robin's children, he had to be with them
No, she almost died, because Cody couldn’t afford medical insurance for all of his family. If you can’t take care of, everybody, don’t have kids. However, they do call it , bleeding the beast, the polygamist do. This is when he is married to one woman so the rest of them can be on welfare, which means all the kids have Medicaid. The women get a monthly check for each child. Free health and dental insurance. Nearly free or free housing and food stamps. Pleading the beast is bleeding the taxpayers dry.
How very Kody that his response to Paedon's shirt was not "How dare you respect Robyn like this" But "How dare you respect ME like this"
You can actually go back to season 3, I believe, during the 4th of July episode, the one where Meri goes off on the older kids for mistreating Robyn's children...and at the beginning of that segment, there are no images of this incident but you hear Brianna crying and saying "Paedon hit me in the mouth" (which Paedon says is probably true, not blaming Brianna here) and then you hear Paedon start crying and saying "Why Dad?" and then you hear Logan saying "Dad, what the hell?" and there is little doubt in my mind, that Kody hit Paedon.
Kody Brown owes his children reparations.
And I'm serious. This is the ONLY way to stop this sh&*t.
Lmao facts
Sobyn won't leave her kids alone with the other kid's bc she knows they'll speak the truth. I can't stand kody or hus witch of a wife Sobyn
I so agree. She doesn’t want the others to know how she really is at home. She’s afraid kids will mingle and enjoy their siblings and leak info.
All the older kids are a credit to their mothers they have all grown to be really intelligent and caring people
With broken hearts. RIP Garrison. You will be missed.
The Mormon church likes to rave about them being ALL about family. And yet, children who have parents that don’t match the church’s views of a “Christ-like” marriage are forced to renounce their family’s in order to join a church that’s all about the importance of family…
Oh, he will 100% find (gaslight) another "wife"...she will be someone younger, prettier, and eager to be on TV.
I sure hope so, please let Robyn feel what the other wives felt!
Most of us will have stopped watching by then so she will be on tv all by herself.:)
Being involved with a narcissist (Kody) erodes your sense of self, lowers self-esteem, and causes crippling self-doubt. These impacts can show up in a number of ways for people, and often take several years (and a lot of therapy) to recover from. ALL THE OG WIVES suffered from years of narcissistic abuse by Kody. Narcissistic abuse occurs when a narcissist progressively manipulates and mistreats people to gain control over them, creating a toxic environment full of emotional, psychological, financial, sexual, or physical harm. Narcissists exploit those around them through gaslighting, sabotaging, love-bombing, lying, and twisting situations to suit their needs. As a result, victims can suffer long-term effects from their abuse. KODY ALONE IS RESPONSIBLE!!!
You can’t be a decent father when you have that many children. Not enough time in the day. This is not unexpected or surprising.
Exactly…older kids end up taking care of younger ones. It’s neglectful and abusive to all of the kids.
Children aren't needy dolls 🎎. With eventually 5 parents and 17 siblings, they have more than enough emotional support and mental stimulation, even if one relationship is weak.
@@asekuvena so you have said in another post to me. So let me respond again. If your mom disappears and you have lots of siblings it just wouldn’t matter or have a negative effect? I’m guessing you don’t work with children or families, social work, law enforcement, counseling or anything that would help you understand family dynamics.
If you already have a close relationship with your mother yes. And the resources and attention being removed will be a downside.
But neither is the case here.@@ATXInv
Depends on how close I am to my mother.@@ATXInv
If Kody had shown Meri true love, Respect and care for her. She never would look outside the marriage. People need to stop blaming her. He is the reason his wives have left him he is a jerk.
As far as the children go, the mothers are the ones raising the children. Kody just blows through each house like the wind. When his daughter had her back surgery, he didn't go because he didn't want to risk Covid for himself. I would have risked bubonic plague if that was my child. His one son says basically Kody is irrelevant for the grown children. That's sad.
Turns out he wasn't.
Kody did all of the things that he said his kids couldn't do. He hugged Robyn and kissed her and probably slept with her too.
It's a dictatorship. What a nightmare. I'm glad all the kids seem like really good people despite him.
Some but certainly not all.
These marriages are a sham.This is why marriage is ment only for one couple. 1 wife 1 husband that's hard enough.
Only 2 marriages one to Mary,divorced married Robyn. Was not married to Jenelle or Christine.
There are literally thousands of people who find it easier to love small children because they look up to you and as they get older they express their dislike or disagree or let you know that they know the truth! This is why he pulls away as his children get older. They are no longer easily manipulted!
I am so proud of all of the Brown's that were brave enough to get out from under the oppression of your former life. Good luck to you all if you ever come to Buffalo, NY, and I show you around all the beauty of Western New York. ✌️🤟🤘🤶
Meri didn’t give up first though- Kody and meri both said it had already been a couple of years, by the catfish, since they had been intimate.
Hugs and kisses the furbaby!!!! To seal the nail in the coffin when kody bites the dust I hope none of his kids show up
No other wife had a Nanny! Oh” Christine worked and was a caretaker.
I’m so sorry that you kids are going through this and it doesn’t matter how old you are.
We didn't know just how sorry we would be.
I immediately noticed Kodys favoritism towards Robyn’s kids vs. his kids with his other wives.
First it was sad to see how interested and engaged he was with Solomon vs. Truely 😢he even held him WAY more and there is NO reason why
Their experience of a father is so different than a monogamy family has. He’s represented as a Father Figure, a representation of a patriarch leader. No one can spread themselves around 18 kids evenly or lovely on a daily basis. That’s just one harmful reason this religion is really negligent and abusive towards kids. Kids don’t bond healthily so it’s easy for them watch him at a distant and critique him. Not any real love loss. That’s why Kody asks for just some respect . Not that he wants a real loving father/child relationship. Sad
If you treat your family properly they wouldn't need to make contracts small print to gag your grown up kids.
How he can say polygamy is best when no one can spread themselves around all those kids. I see monogamist with large families have trouble. It’s not fair to the kids. It’s the adults making the choice to make themselves happy not thinking what will happen to the children. It’s selfish
Melkellti puts her own mother in uncomfortable situations. Which makes her a prime example of not being a good daughter......so she has no room trash talking about Meri. Im sure she sits there and listens to kody and robyn trash talk her mother instead of taking a stand. Because as long as they are giving her things, she is okay with it.....she should show her own mother the same respect ( if not more) as she shows Kody and Robyn!!!!
Kudos to Paedon. Kody was a pretty rotten dad, consumed by his own ego and convinced that once the kids were no longer "little ones" they could take care of themselves. Kody checked out of plurality when he met Robyn. Kudos to Meri who loved the kids so much that she willingly went through a divorce from Kody so that Robyn's kids could be adopted. Kody checked out of marriage to Meri when Robyn appeared.
I'm here because Garrison. This makes me so sad.
That man is creepy cringe!,
You can't be a good father in a situation like this no matter how you try😮
The fact that Meri didn’t know who she was talking to proves that she didn’t cheat because if she was actually cheating she would know who she was cheating with.
No wounder some of his children have turned agenst the pologamy religion rule by coming out and it never bothered their mothers .
Kody is very selfish with the sister wives
Not with Robyn ‼️
#PaedonBrown is just like #Kody he is a #RightWing #Misogynist who had to be kicked out of his mother's home for verbally & physically abusing his younger sisters, his other family members admitted that he was kicked out by his mom, but it was he who admitted it was about being abusive that's why you never seen him very often in picks with his mom & sisters mostly just the boys in the family & very few other sisters!
Oh…interesting. I wonder if any of the wives knew that. He really hates women then. To have that attitude at such a young age. No wonder he decided to become polygamist. He could own and Lord over women. He doesnt know how to have a real relationship with a woman. Hmm
I do not like Paedon Brown!
I don't like his attitude or his politics. He thinks he is so much better then everyone else. I've got news for him. He's not.
Apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree it seems
What a sick bunch of people.
Feel for all the kids not kody👎🏻
Kody not being there for ysabels surgery is horrible. I had scoliosis surgery when i was 12. One of the hardest things i ever went through. 5 days in the hospital. I had to learn how to walk again. I couldnt go to school for a long time and fell back. I can’t imagine going through that without my parents. Horrible.
Sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers
They need to go ahead and cancel that show. They were clearly “acting” as if the concept was working for them.
This guy is a piece of work!!!!
"Daddy can't come to your surgery/party/dinner/wedding because he's busy finding a new mommy for you."
Christine lives in Lehi, Utah. Not Salt Lake City. It is south of SLC.
🤣 His dancing is hysterical! 🤣 I saw a poligamist man try to dance years ago and it was truly the weirdest thing I'd ever seen, just as funny. I love how he conveniently says he doesn't feel married anymore. In normal marriages, we try to work things out or divorce, but in their crazy land , they usually just stay married and the man continues to be verbally and often physically abusive, while the women are guilt tripped about even considering to leave. It's their duty to put up with abuse and BS
You can already see many of there off spring are really messed up. Even he and Sobyns as well.
Well, now we know what happens when you treat your children the way Cody treated his. One beautiful , smart, loving young man took his own life. Robert Garrison Brown rest in peace. May you find your lost soul and return to us as soon as you can.
This is why this shit is illegal in certain states. Sending all these kids right to therapy in their adult lives. There is no way any parent can have that many kids and not neglect them. Case in point....the duggars.
I knew that once that family moved to Flagstaff it was because of Robyn child going to college that.. that was going to split the entire family up. Clearly he chose a favorite wife because they were all doing well where they were staying but he wanted to please her because she was the only legal legitimate wife and all the other women didn't matter... The kids were grown they had their own girlfriends and wives and husbands so it didn't really matter at this point he wanted to do it for him and his own children with her
Not spanking kids doesn’t make them angels either though. It’s all how discipline is done. 🤷🏻♀️
He threw them away. So very sad.
Just because it’s family doesn’t mean you have to like them.
That's why God let's us pick our friends! 😁
I believe the cat fishing incident is all about Mary being heartbroken that she needed to get a divorce from kody .so that Cody could marry robin. I think she was heartbroken and she went on the internet to find love ,I don't think she did it for any reason but she was heart broken, that she made a decision for kody and robin something I don't think she really wanted to do in the 1st place
But Meri divorced Cody so Robyn could be his legal wife. Give her some credit for that!!!
You're right but I think Kody gave Meri a lot of pressure to get the divorce. Meri was lonely, sad, and frustrated so it made her the perfect victim for a romance scheme. Kody once said she was as loyal as an old dog so he was very surprised and angry that she flirted online with a person she thought was a man. He used that as his reason to try to get rid of her.
I feel bad for the entire family. And Cody's actions and behaviour seems to me that he's either in 8
Exactly!!!
Kody just doesn’t know how to parent adult children.
Funny how he said you shouldnt kiss, hold hands, or touch before marriage but he was sure all over Robyn for Months before they got married. When they left Vegas they wasnt running from anything but running for Robyn for his College because Robyn cant be away from her kids but then the other wives have to move away from their kids.
I’m confused, I don’t understand… that’s all Robyn ever says 😂
Robin was behind all of the catfishing scheme
The same person (a lady it turns out) that just happened to be a face book friend of Robyn’s. You cannot help but wonder if Robyn planned the cat fishing!
Absolutely!!! Without a doubt in my opinion
That dance in psychotic!
This family really went down hill when they moved into those houses next to each other in las Vegas
My parents were of the Generation that were taught Corporal punishment was a valid way to raise kids, so we were "spanked" if we stepped out of line. Well, I can recall (and I must have been about 5-6 years old at the time) considering doing something that I REALLY wanted to do, but knew that I would be punished if I did it, and thinking to myself "Yes, I could get spanked, but the sting will only last for awhile and I REALLY want to do this!" So I did. Yeah that's my tale of how effective Corporal punishment was as a parenting tool! 🙄🙄
What was it you wanted to do?
@@floridagirl386 Painted my baby brother's Big Wheel purple with mulberries in a wash cloth!
Yes, that's how smart you were.
Prior to Garrison passing, I think Meri had been the wife to go through the most trauma and hardship (and that’s really saying something considering what Janelle and Christine also went through). But she is normally forgotten and pushed to the side, thought to be dumb with no self respect. This woman tried to courageously and happily accept 3 women into her marriage and selflessly worked to make it work, made sacrifices, watched as other women got easily pregnant with her husband even though she struggles greatly emotionally and physically with infertility. She went to work and supported the family financially. SHE offered to divorce Kody, to make things easier for Robyn. This woman strived so hard to have a positive attitude and make this work, and KodyRobyn put her through the grinder and shamed her for having the audacity to be emotionally manipulated by a catfish. These poor women have been used and abused (not Sobbin Robyn though).
Cody openly stated he was never attracted to Christine what a horrible person to take thiss young girl as she was when they met and marry her..but it all workd out because she did find a good man in the end....still that shine a bright light on the kind of person that dirt bag Cody really si
И мне было больше всех жалко Мери , она прошла не лёгкий путь в этой семье.
The perfect example of why Polygamy does not work.
Kody could not handle plural wives. Robin was the cause. Kody allowed it to happen.
Haha, Peadon were that shirt. Bravo. Nice ! 😂
Janelle probably reminded him. “Of course!”
I never liked Kody because Kody is a very selfish narcissist!💯
