‘Sister Wives’ Fans Start Petition To Remove Kody Brown, Why?
Undeniably, Sister Wives shows Kody Brown going through what many people believe is a midlife crisis. While he has made some poor choices through the years, now he is having to face the music after three wives left him in a short time. Recently, fans are petitioning to remove Kody Brown from the show.
Kody Brown Is Easy To Dislike
Although some people don’t like Kody Brown and the way he treated Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown, now fans are encouraging others to sign a petition about removing him. Through the years, Kody has gotten increasingly more smug. Many people believe he is a narcissist, self-absorbed, and sometimes painful to watch. But why are some fans wanting him removed from Sister Wives altogether?
Fans Start Petition To Remove Kody Brown, Why?
On Reddit, a Sister Wives‘ viewer starts a thread about Kody Brown abusing his kids on the show. Furthermore, the user states: “Petition to remove Kody.” It discusses how Kody shouldn’t be allowed to continue with his behaviors. On Change.org, the petition says, “The Issue.” Then adds, “Kody Brown has shown the audience this season how abundantly abusive he is to his family. We cannot stand to watch this man get paid for showcasing his actions and treatment towards his wife’s and children. Until he is removed from the show we will not watch any remaining episodes in this season and any following seasons.”
Others Want More Details
Other Redditors requested the original poster to give more specific details, but they poster simply wants people to acknowledge that Kody Brown has been allowed to mistreat his family for far too long.
- One viewer follows up other users requesting examples, “Please give factual examples of ‘abuse’. I will agree that he’s a piece of trash human who has neglected to be there for his kids. But ‘abuse’ is a stretch. ETA: did you happen to notice this petition is from 2 years ago?”
- The original poster replies, “Neglect IS abuse. It is not a stretch.”
- Another commenter says, “You have singled out kody here – all the parents abused and neglected the children.”
- Someone else thinks Sister Wives needs Kody Brown, “Its like wanting to watch Batman without the villains. Yall are weird for this.”
- After the suggestion to “grow up” another user adamantly says, “Child abuse is reality. One killed himself. I don’t think I’m the one here who isn’t grown. đź‘€.”
Is Kody Brown’s Abuse Evident?
While the original poster finds it absurd that people are requiring an explanation of Kody Brown’s abuse, other people fill in some of the blanks.
- Someone else adds, “If you’re only just now noticing the child abuse, you haven’t been watching the show. ALL the parents are guilty of parentification of the children, EXTREMELY negligent when it comes to the physical/medical well-being of the kids, gaslighting or ignoring the children’s mental health struggles from multiple children during their constant moves, Ysabel’s issues with how she looked with her back brace, like take your pick. If you want to get rid of the abusers, then take out the whole show, which is probably what’s going to happen anyway.”
- “To be fair, the child abuse has been there since episode 1. These kids’ emotional, mental, physical needs have been ignored probably even before the show. I don’t think there is much left of the show anyway. Christine got her happy ending. Janelle building a farm. Meri got her B&B. Kody & Robyn in monogamy hell. Fin.”
- “If they remove Kody and Robyn, the show wont last and all the other people would lose revenue. You are messing with their jobs.”
- “My point is that a petition to remove Kody is just stupid if you have issues with all of that. You should be calling for the cancellation of the show then. You don’t get to sit in the comments saying everyone is a monster and supports child abuse when you aren’t calling for Christine, Meri and Janelle to be removed too.”
Some People Think It Takes More Than Removing Him
Other people think that the petition won’t do any good. They don’t think TLC will remove the show or Kody Brown from it.
- “I think that’s my point though – I understand your perspective, but it comes across as pretty uninformed. TLC (as a company) lacks a moral compass – why would they care about a petition when the show makes them money? Kody literally almost killed truly (that was actual parental negligence), and some of the kids have claimed that Meri’s actions bordered on abuse as well.”
- “Exactly. Like say yes to the dress is maybe one of the only TlC shows I can think of that didn’t include actual exploitation of people on the network. If you don’t like reality tv, don’t watch it. But don’t act like a petition is going to make them cut the program – TLC responds to dollars, not petitions.”
