‘Sister Wives’ Kody Brown’s ‘Protection’ Is Gone, His Lies Exposed?
Through the years, long-time Sister Wives viewers have felt that Kody Brown was handled with kid gloves when it came to “confronting” him on desired topics. Although he didn’t always turn out looking like a hero, fans didn’t see him getting grilled for his offenses either. But seemingly, Season 19 is proving to be different. Now he isn’t getting the luxury of “protection” from the production company like he has in the past, instead, they expose lies.
Kody Brown Doesn’t Get The Same Luxury As Before
While there has been a theory TLC is giving Robyn and Kody a redemption tour, fans haven’t bought it. Now, it appears that might just be what TLC expected. As the season progresses, they aren’t coming across as unsung heroes as Kody and Robyn may have wanted, instead, production is slyly making cuts to Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown who contradict many of the things they are saying. Likewise, some of the old footage is blasting Kody’s claims out of the water.
Kody Brown’s ‘Protection’ Is Gone, His Lies Exposed?
On Reddit, Sister Wives fans discuss how Kody Brown is being exposed while he tries to peddle his lies. First, a user says, “Producers Undermining Kody with Clip of him and Janelle.” Then, they add, “So, here Kody was claiming that it’s the fault of the women that he wasn’t as close to his kids since they would insist on spending time with him one-on-one.” But the user sees production being subtle with their hits.
The Redditor adds, “Rather than putting his voice over with footage that proved his point, they used this scene of him pawing at Janelle, not the other way around, and showing him about to have dinner with their kids. The original scene from the episode actually showed him engaging with Gabe and Maddie individually and having family time. In fact, the scene Janelle said that she preferred to center her time with Kody on their kids, so she had to remind herself to also get one-on-one time with him. It’s almost like production was trying to show what a liar he is 😆.”
- Someone else adds, “They didn’t ALL LEAVE because he was So Great! He’s a a**.”
- Then, the original poster adds, “I agree. He’s an a**. I was just pointing out that the footage used for his voice over contradicted what he was claiming. It’s like when the Tenders claimed they were never integrated into the family, but producers showed footage of them being completely integrated into the family.”
Fans See How Production Is Subtly Exposing Lies
After the initial post, several Sister Wives fans discuss that it is pure genius to have Kody Brown talk while showing scenes that contradict his points. The original poster added examples of the footage.
Then, they said, “They really chose the wrong, or right, footage for this quote.”
- Someone else adds, “Great work! Kody is such a lying tool!”
- “Very valid points! Especially RK’s debt forcing them to cling to the show. Hopefully, no more of Kody saying he won’t answer certain questions on the Tell All and getting away with it as he has in the past. When they were all one big family, Kody steered the ship and protected Robyn and his own storyline. Now that 3OGs have left, Kody has zero control. All the truths are starting to come out. Finally!”
- “I’m not a fan of Andy Cohen in general, but I sure would be down with having New Year’s Eve Andy Cohen specifically conducting those things.”
Why The Change?
So if TLC has been protecting Kody Brown through the years, why has it changed now? For many years, Kody had a good friend behind the scenes running interference. Seemingly, Kody was getting softball questions lobbed at him by Suki Krishnan as if she was instructed to take it easy on him. Another Reddit thread believes Kody had the control at his fingertips since he managed the contracts. But fans hope it will change with the new Tell-Alls.
- One commenter inquires, “Puddlemonkey isn’t the production team this season? When and why did that change? It’ll be for the better if they finally start calling out K&R!”
- Since Puddle Monkey is no longer in business, Kody Brown’s friend isn’t interceding for him anymore. Another user says, “Puddle Monkey was the production co Kody made his original deal with. The guy was also good friends with Kody hence all the Tell-all softball questions. Puddle Monkey has shut down…. seems no one is gonna kiss Kody’s butt like they have for 18 seasons… hoping this season tell all blows their lies up.”
Then, fans provided information about the company closing. Likewise, Kody Brown’s neighbor and buddy no longer has the reins.
Calling Out The Lies
While some people questioned the producers’ intentions, the original poster clarifies, “This isn’t a positive Kody post 🙂 I’m pointing out that he was lying and that the producers used footage showing that.”
- Someone else adds, “Production is gold this season… maybe with his buddy ‘Puddlemonkey’ production gone now, we will get some justice for the other wives. Robyn and Kody HAVE to show their faces they have that 2.1 million dollar mansion to pay for 🙂 Keep up that great editing new production team! Definitely new rules for editors since the old production co is gone.”
