Kody's Inability To Show Sympathy For His Family Is Disturbing

- TLC's Sister Wives cast member Kody Brown, is abuzz with activity and excitement for everything from cars, motorcycles, and real estate. However, consistently the one thing he never seems truly excited about is being with or doing for his family.
There was an episode in season 6 where his daughter Truely was diagnosed with liver failure. Kody being the man that he is, didn't seem very effected by his daughter's dire situation. He was very stoic when dealing with this family emergency. Conversely, in my last video I demonstrated that Kody does in fact have the capacity to have emotions for his friend Brett.
I am not criticizing Kody's ability to have and show emotion, but I do want to talk about the importance he places on some issues and his overall prioritization when it comes to the family. Particularly anyone in the family who isn't Robyn or her kids.
Let's have the conversation.

Neffex- "Just Breathing"

Her kidney failure was Kody's fault. She was dehydrated, and likely got an infection for not bathing and typical child care. He never went to check on her, he was having too much fun in his neighbors hot tub. Was she getting fluids? Doubt it. Eating? Doubt it. Cleaning properly, absolutely not. I HATE HIM FOR THAT. He completely ghosted Truely. Ignored her sisters who were telling him she was seriously ill. But when he got covid, he was whining that he was about to die. OMG. He should of been over at her house, feeding her, making sure she was hydrated, and helping her keep clean. he ignored her the entire time.
Thank you for bringing up the importance of cleanliness. We need to bathe daily to care for our skin, which is our largest organ
Agree. As parents, we have to insure our babies and young children are being cleaned and bathed. My grandmother, who helped raised me, had me cleanse my privates with warm water and a soft cloth (no soap, too irritating) before bed. She emphasized good bathroom habits as well. I know that might be TMI, but I was born with one kidney, as was my mother, and these basic hygene practices kept us infection free. I am 60 years old, and had surgery to correct an underdeveloped Urethra, as did my oldest daughter at age 5. THIS IS NOT HARD PEOPLE. But first you have to give a shit about your children, which Kody does not. That man infuriates and discusts me.
Just incompetent He may have many children and has no experience of raising them. Just knows how to make them.
Exactly. Kody was 🗑️ to me at that moment neglecting a BABY
This was one of the most disturbing episodes in my memory.I felt so bad for Aspen as she was taking care of Truly when she got sick and no one, including her father who was right there ,was taking Truly’s situation seriously.She was so terrified and couldn’t wait for her mother to get home and take over the responsibility of Truly…
Cody wouldn’t even lift his head up away from his damn phone to listen to Aspen or just look at the baby! He was supposed to be the adult in that situation.Did he even give Aspen a hug? Probably not!
That was my thing. It’s like Kody put the majority of the child care on Aspyn. Even if Aspyn insisted on taking care of her, he should have also been checking on Truly. Especially since it got so bad that she went into acute kidney failure
I don't understand why Kody didn't take Truely to the dr when Aspyn kept telling him she was not acting right. Plus Aspyn said Truely was just sitting on the couch not doing anything.
@@whiterose9343 At the very least, if you see she’s got a cold or fever, keep giving her fluids and a basic kind of medicine. A Tylenol or something 😰
Well said!!
@@whiterose9343 more than likely he didn’t take her because he doesn’t even know who her doctor is. plus he doesn’t put all his kids on his medical insurance. plus Christine had to raise like 50 grand before the other daughter could go get her surgery because of no health insurance
He never seemed to show any affection or concern for Truely. That poor child grew up watching her dad shower love and attention on Robyn’s kids, all the while ignoring her. The family think Truely never noticed but I guarantee that she was hurt by the neglect!
It took Meri to tell Kody that he was not allowed to come with her to take Leon to university. Meri had to tell Kody that Truely and Christine had to be his priority. It did not occur to Kody prioritize a child deathly ill and her mother over doing something fun with another child.
Because he is a child, himself.
Of course but once again it’s the same older girl always having to not get what the little kids and boys get. And to be fair he was with Robyn and a bunch of the kids after while she was in hospital all living according to the listen to older sibling rules, not being cared for by parents.
I was also struck by how casual the other wives were about Truely’s illness. They all talk about how their other mothers kids are their kids, but when push comes to shove, sure, doesn’t look like it.
@@kristinesharp6286 ... To be fair, Meri was with the kids after she returned from taking Mariah to School.
She was the one who answered the phone when Kody called to give them an update (I'm not talking about the call saying they were taking her to the Hospital, which btw says something about Meri's standing), and when they called to say Truely would be home the next day.
@@maurafenlon8071 ...Meri was with them after she returned from taking Mariah to School. For how long, I don't know. But, she was there.
I feel like she almost died on his watch. The big sisters were trying to tell him how sick she was and he just said she only had normal cold or flu symptoms. Thank God the moms came home when they did.
You feel that way because she did almost die on his watch. He still didn’t want to leave Robins.
And then look how he acted when he had COVID. He did a complete 180 when it came to himself. It’s obvious that he’s a full blown Narcissist! He’ll never change, he has no empathy for ANYBODY!
Shame on TLC - as a network, they should have access to medical resources for the cast and crew. They should have intervened, shut down filming, and sped up treatment for Truly.
@@BerryHair405 You're absolutely right! Wonder if TLC would have been liable, had the situation turned out worse?
That’s the way I think most people see it. Can someone explain to me how a child can get so severely dehydrated that her kidneys shut down… Could it happen in a matter of a couple of hours? Or does it happen over the course of a few days? Because if it’s the latter, Kody - and only Kody - wasn’t doing his job as a father and watching after his sick child. Cold and flu symptoms in toddlers can turn too fast to not keep an eye on it.
Kody is a dangerous narcissist. If Truly died and there was some sort of a lawsuit, he'd knock people over to get to the front of the line for the settlement check. Disgusting.
I'm glad someone said this.
If she had died....he would have been put in jail for child neglect that led to their death. If I were Christine I would have left him after this and would have had a hard time not pressing charges myself.
@@ginadelsasso288 I'm just amazed that Kody didn't have the awareness that it was so dire for Truely...any caring parent would do anything to get their child healthy again. I understand that sometimes not thinking about the worst case scenario is a coping mechanism, but Kody doesn't have the empathy to say, my teenage children are praying for my child because they're in fear that she might not make it. That's so sad on many levels
It always bothered me that he wasn’t there more with Truely. I get it, he’s got other kids and wives but he’s got one kid, in the hospital, literally fighting for her life… the other wives should understand and be willing to pick up any and all slack because Christine and Kody should be camping out in that hospital by her bed. He could be there for Dayton’s surgery… which was purely cosmetic. But not Truely’s or Ysabel’s? My heart just breaks for them.
But that's Robyn's son 🙄
Robbers kids, including the adopted ones, have always been a priority for him.
He acted this way with Truley, but during this time Robyn's eldest was having "panic attacks" which are not pleasant to have, but wasn't really life threatening in any way, and no matter where he was, who's night it was, or what else was going on, he had to drop everything just to run to Robyn's house to carry her to bed, and stay to look after her🤔
I think that because Kody has been with his original wives' children their whole lives, he dictates how and when he's going to be available for them (if at all). Because Robyn came into the family later, I think Robyn is lording Kody's parenting over his head and that's why he has this disproportionate dynamic with her...
Good point! I had forgotten that but, thanks for reminding us.
He shouldve stayed at the hospital. Period. Why couldnt he have Mariah bring a few peices of cake to the hospital? He couldve had a quiet celebration in Truelys room and Mariah couldve had some time with Truely even if Truely wasnt responding they say the sick person can still hear everything. It may have been the last time Mariah saw her sister. But no..idiot Kody didnt care enough. What a horrid human.
Absolutely,you have 1 man and 4 women and they can't get it together ??? They just left christine hanging .....This is the most un- family ever ,I see no love ,but for the kids .....
My question has always been why was Aspen watching Truely when the only two young kinds were Solomon and Truely and Robyn’s house had a nanny. Her house had a nanny why was he there and not with the kids who only had a sibling to watch them. Also let’s not forget Aspen told him MULTIPLE times Truely needed help and instead of helping he felt her head and determined she was fine and went back to Robyn’s house.
Kody is the very worst.
😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Yet, Kody was devastated that Aurora had to quarantine away from the family for 10 days.
He pulled this bs because he doesn’t love Christine or her children. He doesn’t love Janelle’s children either.
Kody only loves and cares about himself!
Kody can't even pretend to care about his children - except his over-the-top feelings he has for Robyn's kids. He has limited relationships with most of the kids since day one and Truely came along when Kody was mesmerized by Robyn and got even LESS than any of the others. Those clips show in stark detail Kody's lack of affect about Truely's life or death situation. He seems to NEVER have connected with Truely as a father - or actually any of Christine's children. Kody was done with Christine after she had Truely - no more kids for her. And when he was done with her, he was done with "her" children. The really scary part is that Kody has absolutely no idea of the damage he's done or continues to do. That's some messed up thinking right there!
100% It's like when he was courting Robyn he decided he was done supporting the mother of several of his children. Where were Kody and TLC going to go with this storyline had Truely died? I don't want to frame it that way but Kody is acting like that possibility is just another Tuesday for him. Back to his life.
AMEN!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes, that might be the case.. Truely was born when he only had eyes for Robyn. He was at least there to spend some time with the other kids, but with Truely I think you're so right...he never bonded with her. And then Salomon is born and he's much more envolved with him. Same goes for Ariella. And then he has the nerve to say, when Christine is divorcing him, that he want his time with Truely..
The kids were only for his celestial place in heaven. Robyn stroked his ego, that’s where he felt good. Kody is just stealing fresh air.
Wouldnt it be great if they vould put Koty, Robin, Jasmine and Megan In a slow boat to china, with only
crackers to eat and water to drink😂😂😂
I kept thinking how he started crying 😭because it had been 10 days since he saw Brianna or Aurora… Whichever one of Robyn’s kid it was.
How he thought about admitting himself to the hospital with exaggerated breathing issues because he didn’t want to be away from Robyn while she had Covid 😷
Poor Truely. He was never there for Christine‘s kids
Christine stayed strong. She only broke down after Truly was safe and on the mend. Kody couldn't care less. What a horse's ass he is at every opportunity.
Another spot-on video!!!!! Whether Kody has one wife .. or more than one, that is irrelevant when it comes to a life threatening medical crisis of a child. His place was with the very sick child and mother, not at a family party. It’s not a matter of being spread too thin, it’s a matter of what the priority should be. He gets an F- for how he handled this.
Agreed! I’d go so far as to say F++ 👍🏻
I’d even go further……he needs a good ass kicking! Even that wouldn’t wake him up. He’s void of any amount of empathy for Truely. It’s sickening.
Kody thinks only of himself. Stay with a sick kid, or go to a party. It's party time.
Meri did tell Kody don't come to college with them because he still intended to make the trip. However, those other wives never helped Christine in the same ways she helped them
Yes she did. I was happy she did that.
Kody was never a “polygamist”. He’s a guy who got 4 different women pregnant. He’s not interested in parenting or caring for the resulting children…at least not the children of his 1st 3 “wives”.
And he does not see it…sad
Every other wife should have been, WTH are you doing here? Christine should have said, don't make me ask you to come to the hospital!
Beyond this, didn't Truely get sick on Kody's watch bc he didn't notice she had not peed in days?
While some of the show analysts dig in and talk about some very important points, you always remind us of Kody's real true fails as a parent that are just absolutely heartbreaking and completely ridiculous. Thank you for holding his feet to the fire! You are the best! ❤
James you are a good man. Appreciate your take on reality. God bless you.
Yes! Absolutely!
It's bone chilling display of an utter lack of empathy.
...typical narcissist...
I could never rewatch that episode. It was so gut wrenching to watch. Kody failed to take in the seriousness of it. His lack luster attitude could have killed her.
Wait til you see how he "teaches" her how to ride a bike in a few seasons. 😡 He's never had a real connection with Truely, even when she was still in the womb. Out of all the kids, she is the only child that never got to experience the decent side of him. She's still an awesome kid, regardless of his neglect, thanks to her mother and older siblings.
I totally relate to Christine. Some of us are very strong during a crisis....then, we break down after the worst has passed.
Kody is a narcissist, bottom line. He only thinks about how things affect HIM. HE will miss his friend. Is it any wonder Christine finally left.
Absolutely
There needs to be more men like you in this world!!! Do you have a brother??? 😊
When kody wasn’t there for the baby & Kristin it killed her love for him.
Then he did it again w the other daughter.
He wasn't around when she was born ...
Kody reminds me so much of my dad.... Everything revolves around him and his feeling and your problems only serve to frustrate and inconvenience him.
Kodie is an absolute asshole, , I'm glad this baby make it
Holy cow @Sabia S I had to double check to see if this post was one of my kids. 🤦🏼♀️ I’m so sorry sorry, that absolutely breaks my heart for you; hope you know you deserve to be cherished! 💜
I'm so sorry that your dad wasn't there for you.Girl, we must be related! It sounds like you are describing my dad! It's so sad that some people aren't meant to be parents. They have audacity to create children, and then they aren't loving and responsible enough to care for them.
Other Sister Wives content creators have pointed out that they lived in Las Vegas and taking a trip to San Francisco to buy dresses was completely unnecessary and probably suggested by production because they wanted footage of the women doing something and Kody with all the kids. While of course, Kody was supposed to be the Father and in charge, it also really bothers me that TLC production did nothing to intervene for Truly. She would have never reached that level of dehydration if Christine had been there and TLC was responsible for Christine's absence. Maybe my thinking is misguided but it's just hard not to be upset that other adults watched this baby girl deteriorate and did nothing. In more recent years we can think of many examples across many shows of TLC operating in an exploitive or irresponsible fashion but back then I'm not sure we looked at TLC in that light. Kody failed Truly and all the women helped protect him for the show when Christine really wanted to strangle him. Her concern is for her child but when she is forced to sit next to Kody for an interview you can see that she's barely containing her rage towards him and doing it for the "benefit of the family". His lack of accountability is disgusting.
Yes!!! This bothered me too. It was all about Kody being the only adult and being incompetent so then Aspyn is having to care for Truely, which is all true. But like, Kody wasn’t the only adult, there was a freaking camera crew there. Idk TLC is questionable at best in the ethics department.
I think it’s appalling TLC didn’t call out and say has she had fluids. Did you call a doctor and ask questions. Amazing😮
🏆🏆🏆James is thee best commentator! He's funny, he's serious, he's smart and he utilizes the cast of sisterwives to offer piercing insights into human relations and human nature. Thank you James!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕👏💕
Honestly that's not polygamy's fault... He would have be just as useless with just one family
You are a good father. Your family is blessed to have you.
You are sooo right, James! Kody made such a big to do about how horrible it was that his older sons might bring Covid home to the young ones, but when Truley was seriously I’ll, he could not be bothered. How could any of the wives stay with that knucklehead after that performance?
He almost died! Boo hoo. Only about him.
James, my eyes were sweating when I watched this episode as well!! James, you have to understand that Kody never loved Christine. Therefore, it's easy for him to refer to his children with her as "Christine's kids" and to emotionally detach himself when Truely was deathly ill, when Yasabel underwent back surgery, and when his grand daughter had surgery. Janelle and Christine's children are "their" children as he puts it. Trust and believe if any of these circumstances involved Robyn's royal children, Kody the sociopath would have spent every waking hour at Robyn's side. 😡
Absolutely agree 💯
Have Robyn and Cody got biological children together?
@@patriciascarcella7052yes two children, Solomon and Ariella
@ashleytibbs4164 thank you 😊 🙏
@ashleytibbs4164 thank you 😊
Idk how they keep their cool. I would see his neglect as a direct attack on my children. I would loose my damn mind. He skipped out on truely , the second time he did on ysibel, I would have had a psychotic break. They would have woke up to Nelly’s” it’s getting hit in here” blasting with me standing on the foot of the bed with a gas can in one hand and the other in my pocket. Greg post🎉🎉🎉
LMAO. Either that or Bodies Hit The Floor.
RIP, Anna Mae Bullock. One of my favorite people/women/entertainers!
Mine too!
I love her ❤ Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
Kody has always placed low priority on Christine and her kids.
You are such a good man and it shows in all of your videos. Your children are lucky to have you! And so are we! Gosh what I wouldn’t give for a sit down with you and Kody 😅😅😅
I second that!!!! Next tell-nothing Mr. James gonna show up and take care of something!!!!
@@christinabennett4518 Yas! We are here for it!
Imagine how many tickets would sell to that show 😂
HE should be the one interviewing Kody...not Suki! ❤🎉
@@psychicrenegade I would love to see how Kody would answer a man, especially one with the respect and tall stature like Mr James here!
My son was in and out of the hospital for a few months last fall. It was pure hell. There is nothing worse than not knowing if your child will be ok. I cried all the time. I can't understand Kody and how he treats his children this way. And then again with Ysabel's surgery. My husband would never let us go and he stay at home. Kody is awful and he can't even see it.
I hope your son is doing well.
I love your videos too Peggie!
@@colleen1219 thank you! I am very happy to say he has completely recovered. 🥰
@@becky9103 hey there! Thank you! I love watching James and seeing his thoughts. It is nice to see a man give his opinions on this show.
Man James…This is my favorite recap yet! I couldn’t help cussing out Kody when I first watched this episode too. Aspen had told Kody how sick Truly was. He couldn’t be bothered. He couldn’t be bothered as she was lying in the hospital possibly dying.
You kept it 💯 and that’s one reason why your so good at what you’re doing here!
Thanks James!
We all know what Kody is. All of us. Thank heaven Christine and Truely are outa there!
Meanwhile he spent most of Father's day in the hospital with Robyn when Dayton got his eyelid surgery
This show illustrates to us why it was illegal with prison sentences.
Thank you! I’ve been waiting for someone to say something about this episode. Kody NEVER shed a tear when Truly was sick. But when going through the adoption process with Robyn’s kids, or talking about missing Robyn when he was courting her, he’s crying like a baby.
Hes not a man. Hes never been a real man. He doesnt show up for important things. He didnt show up for Evies surgery even thou he couldve spent man on man time with caleb Maddies husband. Who he cried with. He didnt show up for Isabels dangerous spine surgery. He didnt show up for Truely who was at deaths door. I cant help but wonder if any of those events happened when it was his day(s) with Robyn so he didnt want to spend that time somewhere eles. Hes not a man. Hes not a father. He has damaged his kids thru neglect and alienation. And because he is a bad human I dont agree that Robyns kids benefit from his influence. I think the proof is in the pudding. And when Dayton ( David) had his eye injury I wonder if Kody was there for that? I bet he was. Js
He was and made sure he had plastic surgery for the eye injury and paid for it from family funds while christine has to pay for her daughter's surgery. He's not a man he's a walking dik!
I think once he married Robyn, it showed that he really didn’t love the other women or kids
I think from that moment on he only wanted to be with Robyn... all the time.. And all the other wives and children were becoming a burden. Because of them he could spend less time with Robyn as he would have liked to..
James your take on life, relationships and emotions is so insightful! I wish the entire Brown family would hear your commentary!
You do have to remember this is the same man who wanted his daughter go to have a surgery by herself
James you are always spot on. Just so sad,that Cody is so unavaliblble in every way.
Love your insite on this insane family. You aways hit the nail on the head.
Thank U James Kody had money for Robyn son to go into the hospital but not Truly
I've known ppl who come from large families. It's never just appendicitis, it's a burst appendix. Walking around 3 days w/a broken arm. When you have 6 or more kids accidents and illnesses aren't taken seriously and brushed off. Oh Billy had a stomach bug that's probably what Sammy has. Sara sprained her wrist, I'm sure that's what Kitty did too. I'm leaving this comment because I will throw my phone if I compare Kody talking about almost losing Truely vs being in the same damn house as Brianna but not seeing her🤬
He was more upset about not seeing Brianna sadly.
So true
And how can we forget his own 'deadlike experience' when he had a minimal fever...if you could even call it that. He was there for Dayton and Solomon when they needed to go to hospital for minor surgery..
I wish all men had as much sense and feelings as you do. Hugs
Brother James, there ain't nuthin' wrong with a Playa's eye sweatin'😢 every now and again. I respect and admire your ability to give an objective "take on reality" from both a male and female (humane) perspective. Thanks for always keeping it 💯!👊🏾
Thanks for the support sister Angela.
Christine did not start to coat with the situation what happened until truly was safe and at home. We see the lot in parents that have children in the NICU & PICU It is truly the point where a family needs the most support and help. They take those children home they're not fully healed and they're not back to normal and you fixate on everything that has happened there is no longer a nurse there 24/7 there's nothing to distract you from your feelings and coping. It's a really really hard time to get through for the parents and depend on the age of the child the child as well.
Wow, thank you for sharing that. What a great perspective to add to this. Unfortunately for Kody, your professional perspective makes Kody look even worse than before I read your post. 👌
@@elizabethroberts6169 The only thing Kody could have done to mitigate kidney failure and the pending stay in the PICU going into kidney failure was just to hydrate her at home keep pushing those fluids She would have been fine but where was Cody think it was grilling burgers or steaks or something and why should it be left to the siblings to recognize something so severe.
Dude...I had an incredibly similar experience to Christine, only I was 15 years old, and my deathly sick "child" was my beloved cat. I was going to spend the day at my favorite amusement park with my big sister. I went to check on my "baby" before we left for the day...and I found him hiding under my bed, which was very odd. He was normally very sweet, very mellow, and very much like a baby. But when I reached for him, he hissed at me and actually tried to bite me!!! I was SHOOK! We immediately took him to the vet, and they took him back to be examined. Just 5 minutes later, the vet came out and told us that they had to emergency transport him to the animal hospital nearby, and had us sign consent paperwork. By the time we got to the animal hospital, he was already in surgery. He had a life-threatening urinary blockage. Even though he was ok, and tragedy was averted, I spent the rest of that day crying and shaking...thinking about all the "what ifs." What if I hadn't checked on him when I did? What if we had left for the day...not knowing how sick he was...how much pain he was in? He would have died! I almost lost my sweet boy!
*He lived another 12 years after this, thank God.
So at the age of 15...I had more love and concern for my CAT, then Kody had for his HUMAN child, Truely!!! If I was Christine, I would have left him that day! He doesn't deserve the title of "father" after what he did...or rather, DIDN'T DO. Her older siblings were distraught over Truely's condition, and praying for her health to return...while Kody was probably over at Robyn's house spending time with her and her kids, totally unbothered by what the rest of the family was going through!
But the reason Truley got sick in the first place is due to Kody’s neglect!! He was paying ZERO attention to the youngest child while Christine was gone.
Say it louder for the ones in the back. I felt the exact same way. If that was one of Robyn's kids he would have never left the hospital.
This is exactly when Christine stopped loving Kody
The part of that episode that rubs me the wrong way the most is when Kody and Robyn were talking about Truly being in the hospital, and Robyn says "it was almost like she was giving up" and Kody nods. She was a literal baby.
They are both so gross. I'll bet they have no real friends.
I was like huh? Eye sweat? Lol. Only real men have eyes that sweat. 😂
I used to drive an guy in his 80s to church. He would get teary fairly frequently when talking about things. Once he told me that as he'd gotten older, his bladder had gotten leaky...and moved up to his eyes. Maybe a bit weird to say, but it was so unexpected and incredibly funny with his timing and deadpan delivery. To this day I smile whenever guys dance around tearing up. I know the REAL reason.
I always enjoy your intelligence and compassion. You make valid and thought provoking points. Appreciate you and the videos. Thanks❤
Thats crazy that none of them noticed that truely went 3 days without drinking fluids
Kody was just a facade of husband and father, there are some people who like the ideal of having children but can't deal with the reality of it, he is one of those people, he left his wives to deal with all of the hardships while he ran away.
Sounds like my ex son-in-law. We call him the sperminator. Thankfully my daughter divorced him and has full custody of all 4 of her children. He lost all rights to them. The smaller 2 don't know him at all. The older 2 barely remember him. They have a real dad now that they all love and he loves them all.
I think its very obvious that Kody never formed a bond with Truly. When my kid was in the hospital, my husband and i were there every waking moment we could be, barely ate, and barely slept, and we'd do it all again if we had to.
Yes sir! Thank you! 👏🏼 You are pointing out everything that is wrong with Kody.
Kody didn’t move as fast to help Truely probably because he didn’t have insurance. Big Dummy! 🤬 He was VERY dismissive of medical issues for the children UNLESS it was Robyn’s kids. Dayton (after his ATV accident) and Saul (I think it was oral surgery) had their surgeries and he was right by Robyn’s side. Wait till you get to the episode when he’s completely dismissive to what the doctors were saying about Ysabel’s spine when she was first diagnosed. I was livid!!!
Wow Kooter was more upset 😡 about not not seeing Brianna for a week when he had covid, then he ever showed for Truely having KIDNEY FALURE!!!
Even though Truly was so sick, his priority was always Sol. His precious offspring with Robyn. He’d never leave Sol or Ari with any of the older kids. He basically told Christine and Truly what he told to Ysabel with her surgery, “I’ve got other kids that need me, not just you.” 😒 Even when his non-Robyn kids truly had a special need, they couldn’t ever take 1 minute from Robyn’s kids’ entitled time.
Hi James, I love when one of your videos pops up on my feed. You are a class act 😊!
I wanted to share. I was diagnosed with Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) back in the early 90s when I was just 3yrs. I believe this was the diagnosis Truly suffered from.
For context, my family had just buried my father the year before. I spent two months in a hospital an hour away from our home. My mother and older sister (5 yrs) came and visited with me everyday. I must have watched the Little Mermaid on VHS 100x. 😂
I had to receive blood and platelets however, I did not have to go on dialysis. Once I was taken off the feeding tube, I was asked what I would like to have to eat. "I wish for eggs, bacon, and a blueberry muffin." The best breakfast I ever had 😊.
Hit the nail in the head with it like usual! I don't notice the stuff with his friend when I watched but what pissed me off immediately was the fact he didn't stay up there one night, honestly I doubt he stayed up there a whole day it seems like he would stop by and check in for a few minutes and take off again. I feel like I'm going to have to re-watch this episode it's been at least a year since I've watched it but that's what took out to me Christine by her side not ever leaving and him stopping by when it was convenient if I remember correctly he went and did something with Janelle while truly was in the hospital as well. Definitely one of the first signs that Cody wasn't the father he claimed to be. If you were any type of decent parent I know for myself I would be at my child's bedside every waking minute possible!
I don't think how Kody approaches polygamy is how it is universally practiced. He saw each wife as a stepping stone for him to achieve whatever goal he had in his head. He didn't truly love anyone of them he married them out of necessity, Meri to get into polygamy, Janelle to deal woth Meri and Christine to deal with the other two and becauae her family was in high standing with their church at the time. He loves Robin and that's it.
I was 39 living in Massachusetts going in for surgery my dad drove from Myrtle Beach SC to be there for the surgery and take care of my boys until I got out of the hospital. That’s a real dad.
I don’t think he bonded with any of the kids other than Robyn’s.
I only have one child, compared to his 18 or however many he had at the time, but I can NOT imagine anything important enough to keep me from my child if they are sick or in pain.
I have more than 1, bit I am absolutely right there with you.
Kody also admitted during the whole COVID pandemic that Christine blamed him for being negligent when it came to Truely’s care. He said it changed their relationship for good. I think that was a major turning point for Christine.
If that would have been one on Snobbins precious kids, bet kootie would have taken the situation more seriously. He really only cares for them kids as much as he cares for their mother's at the time.
James,I cannot stand Kody for the neglect he demonstrates towards his children that is so obvious.
This incident really does disturb me, a child does not become that ill overnight. A parent is missing the most basic check-ins with a minor child not to see this develop.
Amen
Kody has never been there for Truely, he had to go see Robyn to get some kisses while Christine was in labor. He’s not emotionally or present for Truely. 😢
Thank you James. I have never heard anybody address Kody’s lack of attention to Truley being on deaths door. This stuff drives me crazy because I feel like nobody gave any thought to his horrible behavior. When you have a child in the hospital, well as a mother you camp on the hospital room Lazy Boy . Fathers are there unless they are working or have other children at home. If you have a loved one possibly dying, you don’t leave their bedside period!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The most perfect breakdown/explanation on this particular episode, but honestly the entire “spirit” of Kody Brown. Even in the face of losing one wife after another and one biological child after the other, he doubled down on every asinine choice that came his way. I cannot emphasize with him on any level. Btw I really love that you tied in why it invokes the feelings that brought up for you. Me too! If that was my baby lying in the hospital or the older one broke down while praying for her sibling - a freaking party for any reason is out the damn door! Love your commentary and love getting your perspective 🙏🏻
*empathize
Kody can’t provide the very basic parenting duties. Keep your child alive!!
Also, Kody would have to admit to ER/hospital he is her biological father and explain why Truly is not on his medical insurance. The hospital would expect payment from him. Is it known if Christine covered the medical bill for the two weeks or any of the medical bills associated with Trudy’s illness on her own?
I'm sure she did as she also had to come up with the money for Ysabel's back surgery.. Kody wasn't going to pay anything..😡
Robyn's kids are the only ones that have medical insurance.. 🙄
At least Meri knew it was important that Kody stay for Truly's sake and that Mariah/Leon didn't have one of their hissy fits that usually happens! But Kody at least got to sleep at whatever home he slept at while Christine slept at the hospital. What a selfish moron! Poor Asypn, she is such a caring sister.
What a creep Cody is in relation to Christine and their child Truely,unreal just how cold and distant he seems.
Especially, when you see his relationship with Sol (his and Rob em's son).
Aspyn took care of Truly because there was no adult “a.k.a f’ing parent” to take care of her. The same for all the other children.
I believe that this is when Christine decided that Kody is worthless and Ysabell' surgery was the last straw ! Also maybe this is when Christines anger towards Sobyn's nanny- what does she do-
I don't think Kody cares about anyone else but himself.
I remember seeing this when it aired and thinking that it must have been fake and Truely wasn't that sick because Kody and basically everyone else didn't give 2 sh*ts that she almost died. It's just more proof that Kody only cares about the offspring he made with his favorite wife, the others don't matter. It's disgusting.
Koody And TLC were criminally negligent in situation w Truely
I would LOVE if Christine’s soon to be husband legally adopts Truley.
That little girl deserves a GOOD Dad and it would just piss Kody off 😂
I’d be here for that
Me too! 🙋♀️
His behaviour is especially disgusting when compared to his devastation when sobyn went to emergency with a bit of a cough and he wanted to admit himself so he could share a room with her bc he felt he was dying with a fever of 101.3. They are both the Most pathetic excuse of human beings 🙄😠🤮
Thank you for bringing up the contrast in his aggression about Sol and Ari POSSIBLY getting sick from COVID and how mild and detached he was to Truely actually bring deathly ill. I think he only bothered to pretend to be worried at all about Truely because there was a show.
My dads a narcissist and he’s like Kody.. their priorities are very skewed and they really are heartless
I'm sorry to hear that. It's a sickness, No matter how you try to explain it to them they won't get it because they are incapable.
He was way more pressed about how Christine was judging him, wasting most of his energy on arguments in his head. He wants to be judged by his intentions ("I didn't MEAN to hurt you..."), not held accountable for his action or inaction. He is weak and ineffective, and terrified that people will find out
Kody doesn’t really feel anything and so he tries to “act” appropriately! I think he’s incapable of true emotion in relation to others!
Well said James. The man is disgusting. No emotions whatsoever , it's mind-blowing.
So spot on. Thank you.
I’m so pleased someone has validated my feelings towards Kody during this time. Kody isn’t a father, he might have been great with healthy under the age of 10, hero worshiping kids, he is bloody useless as soon as they can talk back or just inconvenience him. The long term effects on Aspin has been profound. Neither Aspin or the eldest boy has had children, that’s not coincidence!
Kody wasn’t there for any of his kids that’s why most of them have nothing to do with dad
