Leon Brown– the only child of former spouses Kody and Meri Brown– is doubling down after recently asking that Sister Wives fans not come up and “say hi” to them in public, insisting that it’s “a very reasonable boundary.”
As The Ashley previously reported, Leon– who came out as transgender and queer in 2022 and uses they/them pronouns– recently set some firm boundaries with fans of their family’s TLC series, stating on TikTok that they are “not out in public to be people’s entertainment or to be consumed by people, [they’re] out in public to live [their] life.”
“So if you see me out, don’t come say hi,” Leon went on to tell followers last month. “If you have something to say, you can send a message, maybe I’ll see it. I’m pretty private and I will only share what I wanna share and I don’t like talking to strangers in public that know me and I don’t know them.”
Unsurprisingly, Leon’s boundary setting wasn’t well-received across the board, with many people on social media taking issue with Leon– who has mostly avoided ‘Sister Wives’ in recent years– telling fans just weeks earlier that they are ready to open up about their experience growing up in a “polygamist cult” and being raised on TV.
Leon’s boundary statements continued to be a point of contention among their fans this week after the 30-year-old posted a TikTok inviting followers to join them for some breathwork exercises. In the comments, multiple fans asked Leon to clarify their recent comments, with one person asking if they misunderstood Leon’s comments, or if Leon did, in fact, not want fans to “communicate at all” with them.
“This is crazy,” Leon replied to the comment. “I don’t want strangers coming up to me on the street, touching me, telling me way too personal information, insisting I talk to them. That’s a very reasonable boundary.
“Do you want random strangers touching your body without consent?” Leon continued. “Come on. That’s not the same thing as sharing my love of breathwork on my platform.”
(As The Ashley told you last week, Leon recently launched their own Patreon, offering monthly breathwork/meditation memberships beginning at $17. Leon and their spouse, Audrey Kriss, have also offered a “With Love, Audj & Leon” monthly mail club since 2025, where subscribers can receive a letter, art piece, sticker and poem from the couple for $11 a month.)
As fans took to the comments of Leon’s TikTok to debate their recent statements, the former ‘Sister Wives’ star popped back in to issue another pointed statement to their critics.
“Babe, be less obsessed with me,” they wrote.
In another TikTok posted this week, Leon encouraged followers to “protect their peace,” while directly addressing the backlash they’ve received for their recent boundary comments.
“Imagine hating me for having boundaries but I’m literally just spinning in my backyard,” they wrote on a video of themself literally spinning in circles.

“Babe be less obsessed with me” LMAOOOO Um Leon, honey, no one cares about you, let alone enough to be obsessed with you. I find it hard to believe anyone is bothering them on a level that would necessitate statements such as the ones she’s made on the subject. They aren’t a celebrity on any level… I wouldn’t recognize them if I passed them on the street. They likely want to make it seem like they’re some hot commodity by saying the things they’re saying but I just do not see anyone approaching them frequently or “touching” them. And please… you’re more than willing to take peoples money for access to you. Classic
@sir ~ aw, c’mon! leon is just spinning 🥏💫 in the backyard. leave leon alone! /s
(HEAVY /s)
I would not recognize this person if they were right in front of me. Is Leon really that level of celebrity??
No, they aren’t that level- they want others to believe they are though LOL
STFU
No one will bother you.
Your problem is solved.
Hey “Leon” **
What was the purpose of this comment?
Boundary= outlining YOUR behavior in relationship to others’ behaviors (if you approach me in public, I will ignore you and leave.)
Controlling/dictating= telling others how to behave (don’t come up to me)
What Leon doesn’t realize is that they are not setting boundaries at all. They are trying to control others’ behaviors
Clearly this dumbass doesn’t know the difference between a “boundary ” and a “rule” . 🙄😂 If they don’t want ppl to say hi that’s fine, I’m more than happy to tell them to go fck themself instead.
wow, leon just keeps doubling (tripling!) down on being a TOTAL 💯 pain in the ass! 🤕🍑
But I want you to send me money on SM.
Oh please! Someone thinks they’re a celebrity! I don’t think people are coming up and touching her, why would they! She’s looking for another 15 minutes of fame!
You don’t need to misgender Leon to make your point. They use they/them pronouns.
She’s a girl. A delusional one but a female. No way to change it.
Leon’s parents chose to be on reality tv, Leon was a minor and didn’t get a say. They are not an actor. They didn’t choose this
life. Think about that. If you have a problem with someone setting boundaries, that’s your problem, not theirs. And they are perfectly reasonable boundaries. Also to say they aren’t allowed to have boundaries because they want to tell their story, that doesn’t make any sense.
Ok, only if you wear your hat backwards.
Leon has always been beyond insufferable
They’re missing the point. It’s the WAY it was said. Bitchy and rude. Same reason people have a hard time with Meri. You can say things in a normal manner and not come off so offensive.
How would you have liked them to say it? Setting boundaries is uncomfortable and it’s easy for people to get offended and not like it. But boundaries are good and a necessary part of life.
Instead of “don’t say hi” ? There’s a million NICE ways to say it. Maybe something like hey I understand people feel like they know me, but I feel uncomfortable having strangers approach me in public so please respect that and give me space.
Exactly!
Her parents are Cody and Meri of course she’s gonna come off harsh. That’s how she was raised.
You don’t need to misgender Leon to make your point. They use they/them pronouns.
If Leon wasn’t trying to monetize their “fame,” then, yes, it would be a perfectly reasonable boundary to want to be left alone in the wild. After all, they did not choose to be on a television show as a child. However, they want all of the benefits of having “fans,” without any of the downsides.
It truly is all in the messaging, though; if Leon was humble and kind in explaining their wishes, most people would understand. Instead, it’s a public scolding made out to be a problem with everyone else’s choices and never theirs.
The way Leon responds to those questions shows so much about their character. They clearly said for people to not even say “hi” to them in public. That’s very different than asking people to not come up and touch them without permission. They could’ve easily said, “hey guys, I know that since I’ve been on tv you guys feel like you know me but you are strangers to me and please remember that if you see me in public and don’t run up and touch me and dump so much personal info on me.” It’s the part where they told people to not even say “hi” is where people rolled their eyes. I think people should unfollow them and any of their money making ventures. Give them the privacy they crave.
Leon is a clown they want all this privacy but keeping speaking publicly… if you keep yourself out of the public I no one will care we will all easily forget about you
If only they knew that boundaries are something one has for themselves, not others. Leon, the reasonable boundary would be “if someone approaches me in public after I’ve said I don’t prefer that, I will leave and remove their access to me”. It doesn’t mean you tell the world to stay the hell away and they just oblige. I mean, yes, respecting someone’s requests would be nice, absolutely. Leon has every right to request no one approach them. Demanding it of the general public in a snotty ass way and then acting as though people are making it out to be more … well, they said it in an asshole way, people asked for clarification and now they’re doubling down on the asshole – this is totally aligned with who Leon has always been. It’s not the ask, Leon! It’s the asshole in the ask!
Spot on. I guarantee Leon is one of those people who say, “I’m just being honest” but really they’re just being an asshole. They never can see the difference in those two things.
This is the one kid that I actually understand why Kody abandoned. She is insufferable.
You know, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree. I started watching the show as soon as it aired. Leon always has rubbed me the wrong way from season 1 episode 1 and I don’t know what it is.
For me, it’s the arrogance. Absolutely insufferable!
Thank you!!! I have never liked this one. She’s obnoxious!
I find it hard to believe that this person is being approached so often it requires multiple posts about these boundaries.
Hard for me to believe that people have the nerve to touch any stranger they’ve never met! That said, Leon has a high opinion of themself, and always has been that way. They come across as snotty and self-entitled, and it’s always irritated me.
Definitely weird behavior, but given the frequency that pregnant women report people touching their stomach, parents their babies, Black people their natural textured hair (no hair texture is immune, had a woman at walgreens come up behind me and start stroking my hair “because I used to have long hair like that” and that gives her lifetimes access?) and little people having their hair ruffled by people thinking they’re children (honestly, multiple kinds of weird there), I believe it.
Yeah Isaac/Elliot (son of Kail Lowry of “Teen Mom”) recently said people come up to him and touch him in public. There are some strange and entitled people out there!
Why are we being downvoted for giving real-life examples? 😂
Everything another person thinks or does has to be Leon’s way.
When it comes to someone touching them, that’s not ok. It is their right not to be touched.
Remember when they were moving and literally all the kids were not wanting to go and everyone had to be concerned about Mariah since she was too good for public school and the only one still in the polygamist school?
Reasonable boundary? Yea definitely.
But let’s be honest, not one person would see her walking down the street and A)know who she is and B) care enough to say hi to her.
Is she on something. She is coming off as irrational.
