'Sister Wives' stars Kody and Robyn Brown dubbed 'toxic' as they say no to family reunion
UTAH, LAS VEGAS: After a short teaser clip was out, fans of the popular reality TV series 'Sister Wives' were recently treated to sneak a peek of the upcoming season, and it revolved around the tantalizing prospect of a family reunion.
The trailer, which made its debut on social media platforms, sent shockwaves through the show's dedicated fanbase.
The clip featured each of Kody Brown's ex-wives sharing their candid thoughts on the potential reunion. A consensus seemed to emerge among the ex-wives, who were open to at least considering the idea, primarily for the sake of their numerous children.
They recognized that, regardless of their own desires, the children deserved an opportunity to reconnect with one another and, ideally, with their collective family unit.
While the majority of the ex-wives appeared to be on board, one notable exception stood out. Kody and his fourth and most recent wife, Robyn, voiced their reservations about the proposed reunion, raising questions about the family's ability to function in such a setting cohesively.
The internet couldn't help but chime in on the situation. Fans and observers took to various online platforms, expressing their strong opinions.
Many lashed out at Kody and Robyn on Instagram for not considering their children's desires and accused Kody of bearing the responsibility for the years of family separation. They fervently urged the couple to "get over themselves" and prioritize the family's unity.
"It's for the kids. Robin and Cody need to get over themselves," wrote one fan. Another one wrote, "Oh Robyn always trying your best to keep the family apart and Kooty respecting his most loyal best customer."
One fan quipped, "It's evident who puts the kids as priority and who puts themselves as priority," and another suggested, "The kids should do the reunion without the parents. No reason parents need to be involved since all but three are grown. The older siblings can take the younger ones."
A fifth person noted, "See all the issues are Robyn and Kody . The others would come together for the kids but they won’t."
Another slammed the two, saying, "Of course leave it to Kody and Robyn not to want a family reunion. I would do it with or without Robyn and Kody and Robyn’s kids because we all know they won’t let the kids come but seems to me that Robyn’s older kids can make up their own minds."
A fan of the show also pointed out, "As a fan from day 1, this show is dead. Let it go. Kody and Robyn are so toxic. An occasional reunion to show where the wives are in their lives would be nice but fan are ready for Kody and Robyn to disappear into an abyss."
Kody Brown’s sons Garrison and Gabriel block him over Covid-19 argument
In a twist that could have come straight from a script of their reality TV show 'Sister Wives', the Brown family is faced with unexpected turbulence.
Kody Brown, the family patriarch known for his unconventional lifestyle, is now grappling with a surprising adversary - his own adult children over Covid-19 safety measures.
While the pandemic was causing chaos worldwide, Kody's strict safety protocols became a major point of contention within the family. Mask mandates, meticulous sanitization routines, and even disinfecting groceries drove a wedge between the generations.
As the younger Browns grew into adulthood, they found their voices, and it seems they weren't too eager to engage in meaningful conversations with their father.
Growing up in a plural family like the Browns, the children often have a unique perspective on family dynamics. As Kody's offspring reached the age where they could openly express their concerns, it appeared that some of them had grown weary of their father's actions and his relationships with their mothers.
Notably, Kody has shared his disappointment over the deteriorating relationships with two of his adult children, who seem disinterested in maintaining communication, and shared that his kids even "blocked" him, per NBC Right Now.
