Maddie Brown airs explosive family drama and reveals that her father, Sister wives star Kody Brownonce admitted that he does not love her.
Maddie Brown cuts ties with Kody
Maddie Brown doesn’t hold back when it comes to discussing her estranged relationship with her father, Sister wives star Kody Brown.
In a recent episode of her podcast, The Authentic Society, Maddie candidly revealed why she no longer has any contact with her father — and why she has no interest in rekindling their relationship.
“I don’t have contact with any of my family, and that’s because of things that have happened,” Maddie explained. Specifically about Kody, she added, “He has no respect for boundaries, and you have to play by his rules, and I just don’t care to do that.”
The root of their estrangement, Maddie said, stemming from their conflicting personalities and her reluctance to sugarcoat her thoughts.
“I’m a straight shooter. You ask me a question, I’ll tell you what I think. And my dad would get very angry when I said, ‘I don’t know why you’re surprised here,'” she explained. “He didn’t like that a mirror was held up.”
Maddie shared an example of this dynamic, saying, “I’d say, ‘In my opinion, there’s a lot of anger,’ and he’d say, ‘That’s not true.’ I say, ‘It’s true. And there are other people who are the same. They would ask for my opinion, and they would get angry.’
Her children do not know their grandfather
The promotion extends beyond Maddie herself and affects her children as well. According to Maddie and her mother, Janelle Brown, Cody has not been present in their lives for years.
“Cody haven’t been there since Evie was born, and Evie is three and a half.” Janelle was revealed during an episode of Sister wives. “She didn’t just want him to come in and say, ‘Oh, I’m your grandpa!’ and they’re like, ‘What? Who is this guy?’
When we talked about the Somewhat Basic 2023 podcast, Maddie echoed this sentiment, saying her children wouldn’t even recognize him.
Despite Maddies reasoning, Cody see things differently. He has accused Maddie deliberately keeping their children away from him.
“She’s intentionally leaving me out of their lives to punish me for a crime I didn’t commit,” Cody said, adding, “I’m only to blame for not falling madly in love with their mothers.”
Maddie has disputed this and recalls a case there Cody allegedly told Janelle“Daddy said he didn’t love you,” further straining their already fragile relationship.
Janelle’s divorce tied to Kody’s pattern of estrangement
Janelle Brown have since confirmed Kody’s estrangement from their daughter Maddie played an important role in her decision to divorce him. Speaks openly further Sister Wives, Janelle revealed how Kody’s strained relationships with his older children had become a worrying pattern.
“I can observe it Cody seems to have trouble relating to his older children, and he seems to like the younger children.” Janelle explained. “When my kids were younger, it was very easy for him to be a father … because he was still this important (figure). His opinion was important to them, his guidance was important to them. And now, because they’re questioning a little , I think it might be harder for Kody to feel respected.”
For Janellethis inability — or unwillingness — of Cody repairing his relationships with his children was a dealbreaker.
“The big spark for me was when his relationship broke up with my kids, and he didn’t seem like he was going to move heaven and earth to fix it,” she shared. “And I thought, OK, that’s what really kept me here.”
While Cody reportedly expressed a desire to reconcile with Janelleshe made it clear where her priorities lie. “I don’t know how I would ever reconcile with him and him not having a relationship with my children,” Janelle stated. “No, I will always choose my children.”
A broken family
Maddie’s estrangement and Janelle’s decision on divorce Cody highlighting the growing rifts within the Brown family. Maddie has expressed frustration with fans offering unsolicited advice about forgiving her father.
“I always get messages from people saying, ‘You should just forgive your dad and respect him'” Maddie said. “And I say, ‘I don’t think you know what you’re talking about because your experience with your dad might be very different than my experience with my dad’.”
With both Janelle and Maddie turn away from Codyit appears that the Brown family dynamic is undergoing irreversible changes. As the fractures deepen, the once united family continues to struggle to maintain relationships amid years of unresolved issues.
Sister wives airs on TLC, Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
