Sister Wives star Kody Brown has become insufferable over the past several years. Viewers agree he’s the shell of the man that appeared in Season 1. Back then, Kody always seemed happy and excited about his large, polygamous family.
What exactly happened to spark this shift? Read on to see what other Sister Wives viewers think.
How Exactly Did Kody Brown’s Father Treat Him As A Child?
Before Winn Brown’s passing in 2013, he made an occasional appearance on Sister Wives. Overall, fans realized he was a man of few words. However, he was also a deeply patriarchal man who actively participated in polygamy.
Kody Brown loved his father, but fans think Winn might have negatively influenced Kody in his adulthood.
“Saw this [on] TikTok and I agree,” one Redditor shared on the platform. They attached a screenshot from a video that reads, “Something dark must have happened in Kody’s young life to make him marry the OG3 to prove something and… I want to know what it was.”
Immediately, other Sister Wives viewers pointed out Winn Brown was surely involved in some shape or form.
Redditors Weigh In On Winn’s Role In Shaping His Son’s Behavior
While Kody is ultimately responsible for his own poor behavior as an adult, other Redditors agreed there were likely some demons in his past that shaped the man he became. More than likely, his father Winn had something to do with it.
Other Redditors wrote:
- “Kody joined the AUB and entered plural marriage to try and win favor and approval from his father. Winn preferred Kody’s brothers who were more rugged and worked hard on the ranch. I believe Winn viewed Kody as something of a sissy.”
- “Yep and if I’m not mistaken when his father and older brother died is when we slowly started seeing the descent of the family. By that, I mean that Kody stopped putting up a front to the world as much; he was still favoring Robyn a lot at this point but they all tried to hide it better.”
- “I personally believe that he entered polygamy to appease his father. Kody seems like the kind of guy who would do anything for the approval of his dad and a big part of that was following in the same religious footsteps as him.”
- “Obviously, it was Sonny and Cher’s divorce. Didn’t he say that already? /s”
