‘Sister Wives’ Kody Brown’s Nephew Calls Polygamy A ‘Cult’
Sister Wives star Kody Brown’s extended family doesn’t necessarily believe in polygamy. In earlier seasons, various friends and family members often shared their personal beliefs about the practice on camera. And even then, many said they didn’t agree with it.
Over the years, it doesn’t appear those feelings have changed.
In a recent interview, Kody Brown’s nephew Ben even referred to polygamy as a “cult.” Read on to see what he had to say.
Kody Brown’s Nephew Was Shocked When He Realized The Family Had Polygamist Ties
When Christine Brown met David Woolley, she immediately asked him how he felt about polygamy. He adamantly said he didn’t agree with it and knew many people who lived it before. Onscreen, Christine admitted that’s how she knew David was a keeper.
But they certainly aren’t the only ones who feel that way. In a new episode of The Sarah Fraser Show, Ben Brown shares his own opinions on the practice.
“It’s weird and I don’t remember when I learned that, I think I was probably a teenager when that clicked and I was like ‘Oh,'” Ben shared. He discussed having this light bulb moment when he heard Janelle Brown refer to Sheryl as her mother but also noted that her mom was married to Winn Brown, Kody’s dad.
Sheryl and Winn Brown have both since passed away, but Ben Brown always remembered that moment.
“But that’s pretty on-brand for Mormons, right? There’s a lot of intermarry because it’s this insular community and we are the righteous ones and everyone else is not,” he said in the interview.
Ben Brown Shares His Advice For The Ex-Wives
Kody Brown’s kids adamantly said they don’t want to live polygamy. However, many have expressed gratitude for their big family. On the other hand, Ben Brown says he felt like he grew up in a cult. In his eyes, polygamy is an incredibly controlling environment and doesn’t leave any room for free thought.
On The Sarah Fraser Show, Ben advised Kody’s three ex-wives to go out and find themselves.
“The world that they were in told them who they were and who they were supposed to be, and they tried to do that for decades,” Ben advised.
Thankfully, it seems the ex-wives are doing exactly that. Christine remarried, Meri has her business and friend group in Utah, and Janelle is spending lots of time with her children and grandchildren.
