Kody Brown EXPOSED FOR FORCING WIVES TO LIE, IGNORING KIDS & PUSHING ROBYN ON FAMILY by His NEPHEW

[@karismakris]

[@cherylcook6284]

TLC proves the Bible, "All things work together for those who love the Lord." This show has given you and Sarah a chance to educate us all in the dangers of polygamy and cults. Back in the 1990s, my sister (with a small boy) went through a brutal divorce- it was scary how all these different groups went after her. She was smart enough to recognize it was a cult and run away but it was a tough situation.

[@Muddy-Brown]

I do feel duped... and like a few other viewers have stated, I think the biggest dupe was from episode one. I think Kody was kind of over all the first 3 women even then, and was bringing in his mid-life crisis new bride, but pushed a phoney baloney show to make a good paycheck.

@Muddy-Brown The undo of emotional & mental pain caused by TLC to all those children. I am sure that as adults, they are dealing with the consequences and decisions of all parents. One of them is not on this earth anymore. I can't comprehend that there is no law to protect the exploited kids.

Having a large number of children is an illustration of the virility of polygamist men--which feeds their narcissism.

Kody deserves nothing. He’s betrayed his 3 ex-wives and all the children except sobbings kids. The things he has said about his kids is terrible and saying he didn’t ever love Meri, Janelle and Christine is beyond comprehension. I hope he’s proud of himself together with his awful wife who’s caused all this. They were a happy family before she joined the family!

[@kellynoble8661]

Can't say they were HAPPY...but they were a family. They had problems...and bring his mistress in as a wife didn't help. What kind of religious man is he if he has 3 wives AND a mistress. Then brings her into the family. THAT was his worst mistake at the time. Ohhh he's made plenty more horrid mistakes since marrying sobyn...but it ALL got worse when he married her and locked himself in the bedroom with her while she whispers sweet nothings and her desires in his ear while he was preforming as her best customer ( as the "ho" is is) she would listen to him complain about other wives when each relationship was supposed to not be talked about with other wives...then she'd use it against them when thr time was right or she'd remind kody to use it against them. Kody liked having damn near 20 kids, but could not be a dad to any of them as they grew up past the " dad is great stage" ( about 7- or so) the kids started seeing kody liking his NEW family more cause that's what sobyn wanted. He'd bend over backwards for her...not for anyone else tho. Kody is lacking as a husband father and as a man...one day after sobyn divorces him...he will be alone and all he has done will come back to haunt him...too late...his OG 3 wives will have moved on...losing respect for him and his OG13 kids will have nothing yo do with him. And sobyn will turn h e r 5 against him...he will die a lonely man. And that's too bad it will have to end that way. The family as a whole should have never left Vegas. The separate homes next to each other were the best situation...and if kody hadn't played favorites he could have had it ALL! But he went to bed with a demon...and her horns are starting to show...and her tail has BEEN showing for yrs...cause her best customer left it showing!!!

[@angelynnicholson-colorofki1102]

The tooth scene is definitely outside of consent and bodily autonomy for Gwen. You don't have to be triggered for that to be true. Most cults contain this particular thread of lack of bodily autonomy. It conditions the women to allow touch and intrusion and lack of choice for their bodies and their experience. If they stay silent because it's just the way things are and it isn't alarming to them, then they comply with whatever the men want.

I think it’s telling that in a family with 21 other people, (besides Kody) at least 20 of them have nothing to do with Robyn. I would think that if Robyn really was a kind loving trustworthy woman who loves genuinely, (which she says she is) I’d think she would have had bonds with at least some of them. She likes to claim she’s the scapegoat in the Brown family and was just blamed for Kody’s misdeeds and the jealous of the other wives but in all actuality, Robyn having no real relationships with any of the other 21 people says a lot about her as a person.

The kids not choosing polygamy is no shocker to me. All of them say I wouldn't change a thing about my childhood I had an awesome childhood , but it's really no different than what a kid who has an alcoholic parent goes through. I had a dad who was an alcoholic, and it was that way for most of my childhood, and he wasn't around and stopped doing things with me as I got older as he chose to drink more , but I would never choose to be an alcoholic to my kids. And you know what I wouldn't change a thing , because my dad taught me not to be like him when it came to alcoholism. I got to see first hand how it destroys a family. And that's exactly what the kids got to see. They got to see how polygamy destroys families. They won't choose it but they wouldn't change anything because like me they felt loved but they also learned a valuable lesson

I recall one of the older kids watching Kody holding one of Robyn's infant children, even the girls when Robyn was pregnant. They commented that they were never held like that as a child, nor were the other OG 13. When the cameras were rolling, they got to do fun things, but not when they were gone. That reminded me of my father. He was quite the opposite. He was very engaged with us all, but me in particular. He would take me everywhere, mostly for protection, but he knew my favorite things were and what I didn't like. I wasn't either parent's biological child, but my father was the real thing for me. After he passed away, so did my family. No more holidays, birthdays, nothing. My mother lived less than 2 miles away. Family would visit, but I didn't get a single phone call. Every photo of me has been destroyed, same with my Dad. Then, thousands of photos of my girls! She's cold in ways people are unaware of.

I think Meri was presented with Robyn & told to get on board but tell everyone it was her idea, the same way as the divorce.

I don't think Meri had a choice if she wanted to stay with Kody.
