The Brown family of Sister Wives fame isn’t active in the AUB any longer. But when the series first began, they were incredibly devout members. In fact, several fans expected Kody Brown to have some sort of leadership position based on his faith and personality.

But in Sunday night’s new episode, the family patriarch admitted there was a very specific reason he wasn’t able to serve as a church leader. What happened?

Kody Brown Is In Love With His Hair

In the LDS faith, it’s strongly discouraged for men to have long hair. But as Kody Brown pointed out in Sunday night’s episode, this is a social rule. It’s not part of the Bible.

However, he boldly proclaimed in his confessional that he took a stand and refused to cut his hair to please the church leaders. Sadly, his choice cost him a leadership position.

“I hope someone else laughed as hard as I did when [Kody] said their old church said he couldn’t be in a higher up position at the church unless he cut his hair. We all know [Kody] is obsessed and I can just picture him having an absolute breakdown about not wanting to chop it off,” a Sister Wives viewer recently shared on Reddit. 

Several other Sister Wives viewers admitted that scene in particular stuck out to them. Kody Brown has always been vain about his hair, but not everyone realized it cost him a leadership position.

Sister Wives Viewers Don’t Think A Leadership Position Was On The Table

Kody Brown has been known to exaggerate, on the other hand.

Others suggested that the AUB leadership never wanted to consider Kody for any position — they simply used his hair as an excuse because they knew he wouldn’t cut it.

Other Redditors wrote:

  • Willing to make 3 wives and at least 13 children struggle and go without because his faith is SO IMPORTANT…but less important than his haircut?”
  • No one asked him to be in a leadership position in their church. He’s lying. It’s plain to see he’s inept at everything he attempts to do. Even his own schoolmates didn’t like him, so it’s doubtful the church authorities liked him, either.”
  • This made me smile. Those church leaders knew the real Kody and the vanity he had around his hair. He clearly put himself and his looks before God.”
  • I bet one person made a joke about his hair at the time and he took that to the extreme like he does.”

Were you surprised to learn Kody’s hair was the reason he couldn’t serve as a church leader? Do you think the church even wanted him to serve? Add your own thoughts and ideas to the conversation below.
