Sister Wives: Kody’s “Regrets” & Wyoming Trip

The episode saw Kody Brown visibly emotional. He spoke of “regrets” and the family “doing happy things” to move through their grief after the tragic loss of his son, Garrison. “We’re moving through our grief because you need that time of mourning,” Kody explained, tearing up. Some viewers felt for him. “I wouldn’t wish what he’s going through on anyone,” one Reddit user shared.

Kody traveled with his wife, Robyn Brown, and their children to Wyoming. He showed them signs he crafted early in his career. For the first time, some saw Kody treat Robyn “a little differently.” He even “got frustrated with her on camera” during the trip.

Sister Wives: Kody’s Shock Claim Sparks Debate with Robyn!

During a family meal in Wyoming, Kody discussed the origins of his name. It was inspired by Buffalo Bill Cody. Kody described Buffalo Bill as “probably very charming, very entertaining, very friendly and maybe a bit of a ladies’ man.” He then made a startling declaration about himself. “I don’t think I’m a ladies’ man at all,” Kody insisted.

This remark caused laughter at the table. Kody doubled down. “I was a polygamist because of religion,” he stated. “OK? I was never a ladies’ man… I had four wives, that’s all.” Robyn, however, disagreed. “He did have four wives! I mean, like, most people would consider that a ladies’ man, but whatever,” she countered.

Tonight on Sister Wives, Janelle, Kody, and the Browns begin to process their unimaginable loss.

Sister Wives: “Forgetting Gabe’s Birthday” & Lack of Effort with Kids Cited!

Despite moments of apparent vulnerability, many fans remain highly critical. One sharp observation cut deep. “What I saw was Kody remembering almost every detail of signs he sold 40yrs ago but not Gabe’s birthday??” a fan wrote. This sentiment was echoed by others. They pointed out that Kody’s reflections in Wyoming seemed to focus on his own past, rather than Garrison.

The most significant criticism is Kody’s perceived lack of effort with his other children. “For someone with so many regrets, he sure hasn’t done anything to improve his relationships with his other children,” a viewer stated. Another added, “He’s remained in the same posture that had him estranged from Garrison.” Doubts about the sincerity of his emotions also linger. “I rewatched… And was zero convinced. 🙄”

Sister Wives: Robyn’s Role: Still Pulling Strings?

Robyn Brown’s actions also continue to draw scrutiny. Some viewers felt “Robyn and her oldest daughters couldn’t care less about the stories he shares from his past.”

There were also harsh words for her emotional response, or lack thereof, to Garrison’s passing. “Robyn didn’t even try to push out a tear. She basically had no feelings at all for Garisson, she always spoke about how hard it is for Kody!!!!!!!” a fan exclaimed. Many believe her influence over Kody’s relationships with his other children persists.
