'Sister Wives' star Kody Brown has reportedly been facing financial difficulties, and a recent sighting seems to back up these claims. The 55-year-old reality TV star was spotted at the Phoenix, Arizona, gun show, where he was seen selling various gun parts alongside his brothers. While the sighting may appear harmless, it raises questions about his financial circumstances.

A Reddit user shared photos of Kody attempting to sell what appeared to be gun parts covered in a yellow cloth at the counter. In the pictures, the 'Sister Wives' star wore a basic blue t-shirt and blue jeans. His hair looked noticeably different from what fans are accustomed to seeing on the show, appearing thinner and swept back. Kody has recently faced increasing scrutiny over his financial situation, especially after his ex-wife, Janelle Brown, publicly discussed how Kody's financial decisions have impacted the Brown family's finances. Given these challenging times, Kody may be exploring every opportunity to regain some financial stability.
