Kody Brown hit a new low this week—even for him— when he called a number of his children “jerks” for their decision to distance themselves from him and his fourth (and only remaining) wife, Robyn Brown.
On Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives, viewers got to hear some of Christine Brown and Janelle Brown’s teen and young adult children share their side of the ongoing Brown family rift, which seemingly ignited due to disagreements over Covid back in 2020.
Fans also got to see Kody name-call his own children on national TV.
While Kody has been on the outs with most of his 18 children in recent years, a 2021 group text message chain discussing a sibling Christmas gift exchange only worsened the situation after Robyn allegedly threw an eyebrow pencil a wrench in the plans.
“Robyn made it all about herself, bringing up how there’s all this past trauma,” Christine and Kody’s daughter Gwendlyn explained on Sunday’s episode. “Which, by the way, where’s the trauma coming from? Because dad prefers them.”
Gwen noted her father’s “preference” of Robyn and Robyn’s children, with Janelle and Kody’s son Gabriel even calling out Kody during the episode for allegedly saying “something along the lines of he only cares about his minor children.”
Gwen stated on Sunday’s episode that Robyn stopped talking to a number of the older kids following the text message fiasco and went on to “play the victim.”
“She was gaslighting everyone into treating her with special treatment,” Janelle and Kody’s son Garrison said of Robyn’s actions, to which Gwen added, “The past 8 years she’s made herself the victim because she was the last wife.”
In response to his children’s failure to fall in line, Kody resorted to name calling in a confessional on Sunday’s episode.
“All of you are just kind of jerks,” he said. “I don’t wanna be around you and I am tired of it and I don’t want to call them and I don’t want to talk to them.”
After more discussion on the fractured relationship with their father, Garrison spoke on behalf of himself and Kody’s other estranged children, claiming they no longer need a father figure.
“This is what I think all the siblings think,” Garrison said. “This is us going, ‘Robyn, have him, we don’t care anymore.’ We’re all grown adults that don’t need a father figure anymore.”
New episodes of ‘Sister Wives’ air Sundays on TLC.

Thankfully they have bad ass mothers that put them first over everything. And always will. Kody doesn’t deserve them.
I feel the most sorry for Gabe. You could see the pain in his face in the last episode. I’m glad Garrison is handling things well and seems to have accepted the reality of the situation and moved on.
On a superficial sidenote, I hope Gabe will grow his back out and get rid of the John Denver glasses. 8-/
Lets hope this “Dad of the Year” doesnt suddenly need a kidney or some bone marrow…
What a dink.
He calls his children jerks and then wonder why they don’t want to talk to him….really?
Did anyone else think Brianna is a Robyn clone? During her emotional break down I couldn’t believe how much she reminded me of Sobyn Robyn.
YES!! You would think that they attend seminars to actively pursue fake crying. It was hilarious to see. Does anyone other than Kody buy their victim act?
Yep, the same ass fake ugly cry. 😫
Imagine having 17? kids and 4 wives and still dying alone and lonely.
This giant ass can not admit any wrongdoing, whether it’s with his kids or so called wives.
Sobyn is the only one who doesn’t challenge what he says, so he loves her.
He is so quick to write off anyone who doesn’t agree with him,
Even when it’s obvious he is wrong.
What a great man he is, Stroke my ego or I won,t speak to you.
Well you got your wish, they do not want to see you arrogant face.
I wish this man child nothing but misery and isolation for the rest of his wretched life.
Kody, my dude, it’s not them. It’s you and robin. You both need to grow up. Eyebrowbin isn’t worth ruining your relationship with your kids.
Kody is like all my kids are trash-talking me, I hate them as much as they hate me.
Cut to clips. I love my father, I just wish he wanted a relationship with me. I love my father, I don’t know why he lets Robin into our relationship.
I said his kids still love him, and he just can’t admit his primary role in the relationship’s downfall. WHEN ALL your kids have a problem with ROBIN, then maybe it’s not the kids that are the problem, it’s ROBIN.
I would love to give the editors a big SHOUT OUT because dang they are not holding back! My other favorite segment was when he was talking about Christine’s karma for turning the kids against him while she was listening and giving them words of support/love.
