Kody Brown’s comments during Part 3 of the Sister Wives Season 19 Tell-All were, in true Kody fashion, weird and all over the place; however, a particular comment the father of 18 made during the episode has some fans of the show believing that Kody may have been hinting at the alleged incident that caused a rift between he and daughter Mykelti Brown last year.
While weighing in on the topic of public displays of affection (PDA) on Sunday’s episode, Kody revealed to host Sukanya “Suki” Krishnan that the last time he and his only remaining wife Robyn Brown showed PDA in front of the family, they “got kicked out.”
When asked to expound on his claim, Kody informed Suki, “I’m not going there.”
“Yeah, they f**ked with us bad,” he continued. “And boy, it cost me dearly.”
Suki went on to, again, ask Kody to explain his comments, noting that she was unaware of what he was talking about, though Kody opted not to provide any additional details.
“ … it’s a story that just cannot be told,” he responded. “It’s just, there’s something so vitally detrimental to your life, you’re just not going to talk about it.”
Kody also chose not to reveal whether or not this incident happened recently, and instead told Suki, “Let’s just not talk about it.”
“It’s that traumatizing?” Suki persisted, to which Kody replied, “Um, until Meri and Janelle are remarried, I will not show PDA to Robyn in front of them.”
As fans of ‘Sister Wives’ know, in addition to having complicated relationships with his three ex-wives Meri, Janelle and Christine– the latter of whom married husband David Woolley in late 2023– Kody is (and has been) estranged from many of his children for years. Despite Kody and Robyn maintaining a close relationship with Kody and Christine’s daughter Mykelti amid the family’s massive shakeup, Mykelti revealed last year that she was no longer as “supportive” of the pair due to something that occurred at Kody and Janelle’s son Garrison Brown’s funeral earlier that year.
While Mykelti and her husband, Tony Padron, told fans at the time that they would not be “talking about those events” publicly, some fans on Reddit believe that Kody may have been referring to the incident on Sunday’s episode when he claimed that PDA between him and Robyn had resulted in the two getting “kicked out” by the family.
“I can imagine he was ‘consoling’ Robyn and their kids and not Garrison’s actual family,” one viewer speculated. “That would piss me off.”
“I think this is why Mykelti no longer talks to them,” another commented. “I think he was consoling Robyn and possibly overly kissing and hugging her at the funeral when someone– probably Mykelti– asked them to tone it down, they didn’t and probably tried to defend their actions and said everyone else is just being overly sensitive.”
Meanwhile, there were also comments from fans who believe that the PDA claim was Kody’s attempt to garner sympathy from viewers or a toned down version of what he and Robyn actually did at Garrison’s service to upset Mykelti.
“I think he’s making it up for sympathy,” one person theorized. “Or distorting a previous conversation or event where he linked his PDA with Robyn to the dissolution of the family … .”
“ … Indulging in too much PDA is rude but not ‘no contact’ worthy,” another wrote. “Whatever they did at one of Garrison’s services, it would have to be more than making out in front of the OGs.”
As The Ashley told you last year, during a livestream on YouTube in October– a month after Mykelti spoke about the incident that occurred at her brother’s funeral– Mykelti told fans that the fame from her family’s TLC series had “morphed” her father into a different person than the man who helped raise her.
“It’s just hard to see that Kody Brown [now], because I don’t recognize that Kody Brown,” she stated. “That is not the Kody Brown I was raised with. That Kody Brown is ‘Kody Brown from Sister Wives.’ That is not Kody Brown, my dad … .”
Mykelti also accused her dad of not taking accountability for his actions and for comments he made about her sister Maddie Brown on an episode of ‘Sister Wives’ that aired earlier in the season.
Mykelti has yet to comment on the speculation surrounding her father’s recent comments.

Could this be what went down at the funeral?

That’s the “party line” No matter the truth it’s always: “I love Robin too much” “I show Robin too much affection” “I *allegedly* gave Robin too much money” “Robin gives me all the PDA they won’t give me” “I give Robin “too much” PDA and it makes *other people* uncomfortable” “I fell in love with Robin too hard”
Like… you could ask him about the freshly uncovered, never before covered incident “why he punched that guy in the face when he was 16” and he’d go on some tangent about how the accusation enraged him was an outrageous ask, how tired he was of talking about it, and was somehow tied to him loving Robin, or loving on Robin too much. How he was going to be a “good guy” and not talk about it for “other people”.
Why bring it up if you’re not talking about it, Kootie?
He’s such an attention whore! And that band around his bald spot looks ridiculous. Just shave it off, Goldilocks.
That really drove me crazy! HE brings up something then, when questioned about it, he claims it’s something he just can’t discuss. Well then why bring it up? I was hoping Suki would ask the other women if they knew what he was talking about.
robin schooled his his ever wideder load

It’s speculation but it’s not hard to believe Grody and the Missus made a scene at the funeral. It’s possible the Missus behaved like a professional mourner, loudly wailing and lamenting, and Grody made a spectacle of “comforting her” to the discomfort and disbelief of all in attendance including Janelle. And, in true Grody fashion instead of addressing it by simply saying emotions ran high at the funeral and we’ve agreed not to discuss Garrison’s passing during the interviews, he made a big to do about it. He’s no one if he’s not playing the victim of “his love”. It’s his ace up his sleeve, his “go to” move.
But of course that’s all your speculation. You have no idea if any of that is even remotely true. (And Robin may cry a lot, but I’ve never seen her make a spectacle of herself or wail or do anything else even close to that, so it’s not highly likely she suddenly decided to start doing that at the funeral of someone else’s child.)
You must have missed that talk with Kody, Meri, and Robyn at CP. It was the “official” breakup talk and she took all the focus off Meri and on to her with her histrionics.
However, I do agree with you that it is unlikely Robyn made any kind of emotional scene. It is more likely inappropriate talk.
You obviously do not watch the show if you are honestly claiming to have never seen her make me spectacle of herself 🤦🏼♀️
Sounds like whatever they did at the funeral, Kody is rounding it down to PDA. The fact that he won’t talk about it tells me he did something terrible but is shoving it down the memory hole so he doesn’t have to take accountability (as per usual).
It creeps me out when older kids and grown women call their father’s “daddy” I’m not trying to offend anyone. Just my own personal opinion. Especially in this situation.
I think it’s more a regional thing. I’m from the deep south where men and women will call their dad’s ‘Daddy’ their whole lives. My family was transplants from the Midwest and started calling our dad ‘Pops’ around high school. And the people who called their dad’s ‘Daddy’ used to look at us weird because apparently ‘Pops’ is something you are only supposed to call your grandpa. 🤷♀️
I thought the southern thing was common. I live in Mn. So,I don’t hear it often. Pops is pretty normal. My kids call their grandpa “papa.” I have friends who kiss their parents on the lips also. Which is fine I guess. I just would never do it.
Always reminds me of Blanch calling her father Big Daddy.
lol. She’s always been my favorite.
He totally made out with Sobbin Robbin at the military funeral.
Such a gross man.
As somebody who is born to two toxic peopleI can almost guarantee that she got tired of putting up with Kody’s b.S and narcissism, now that she’s a grown adult, she sees it clear and that is why she doesn’t talk to him. It has nothing to do with robin.It has to do with him and his personality disorder
Yup, people like that are exhausting particularly when you have children and they are still making demands on you like they (not the toddlers or babies) need all the attention.
Oh my god. My mom comes to my kids BD parties and other family gatherings and she HAS to be the center of attention. It’s so bad that when my son’s gf of 4 years had to apologize to her family members for her obnoxious behavior. I mean, she’s an actual narcissist. Dx by 2 dr. Not the kind people just DX because they’re selfish or whatever. Kody absolutely is in fact a N too. So f’n obnoxious.
Went for prom pics I meant to say.
THE WORST!
