Kody Brown Inconsistent With Why He Wasn’t There For Ysabel

Kody Brown and Ysabel Brown from Sister Wives, TLC

Sister Wives fans can clearly see that Kody Brown doesn’t have the best relationship with his adult children. A lot of the issues have developed offscreen, but fans witnessed his relationship with Ysabel fall apart firsthand.

A significant amount of the drama began when Ysabel needed surgery to treat her scoliosis. Kody insisted he couldn’t be with her because of COVID-related travel issues. The teenager never quite understood why her father chose not to be with her during an incredibly invasive surgery.

Over time, Sister Wives fans couldn’t help but notice that Kody’s excuses are a little inconsistent. Keep reading and see what they had to say.

Kody Brown seems to be completely disinterested in Ysabel’s life

In a new Reddit thread, one user wondered exactly why Kody Brown couldn’t attend Ysabel’s surgery.

“I get that it’s ‘covid’ but is he worried about traveling himself or is Robyn hogging him and dosen’t want him to be gone that long and have to quarantine away from her for weeks after?” the OP wrote. “I just don’t understand how a father would be okay with missing a major serious surgery of his young daughter.”

Other Redditors had a wide variety of ideas, but many felt that one user hit the nail on the head.

“Kody is primarily a mental teenager who doesn’t want to do anything he doesn’t want to do,” they wrote. “He has virtually no capacity for empathy so he can’t plug in and feel bad that his kid is hurting. The world is lucky he is relatively stupid and can only be harmful to those within arm’s reach, if he had a little ambition and slightly more charisma he would be harming a lot more people.”

In other words, the Redditor believes that Kody Brown has a very low sense of emotional intelligence. He doesn’t seem to have the ability to care for many others, including most of his children. Sister Wives fans have noticed that he primarily cares for Robyn and her kids. He just doesn’t have room in his head or heart for his other family members.

Do you agree with Reditors’ points here? Leave your ideas in the comments.

His marriage to Christine is dead, but what about his relationship with Janelle?

Right now, all signs indicate that Kody Brown is no longer married to his second wife, Janelle. Gwendlyn Brown seemed to let that nugget of information slip during a Q&A with fans. However, neither TLC nor the Brown family has confirmed this information.

As Season 17 continues, it seems like there might be a lot of truth to these rumors. Kody is treating Janelle incredibly poorly onscreen and fans wouldn’t be shocked if she just walked away.

There will be a new episode of Sister Wives out this Sunday night at 10 PM eastern time. Don’t forget to check out the episode and see what happens next.
