‘Sister Wives’ Fans Think Kody Brown Having Nervous Breakdown

“Is Kody Brown having a mental breakdown?” one Redditor asked on the platform. “Anyone else think Kody is either having a mental breakdown now because of everything that’s happened, or started having one and that’s why Christine, Janelle, and Meri left because his personality changed so much before they left, or is it just him getting older and wanting to settle down, or he’s always been this way? IMO I feel like something snapped in him before Christine, Janelle, and Meri left and there was such a personality changed, they couldn’t take it anymore.”

Sister Wives Viewers Agree Something Is Amiss

Many other Reddit users had responses to the question. Many thought Kody Brown was naturally this way, but cameras have definitely exacerbated his personality flaws over the years. And his natural desire for attention might have a lot to do with it as well.

Redditors shared:

• “I definitely think he’s always been this way, but the ‘fame’ and money just amplified it. He seems to thrive on control and attention, and once the spotlight hit, it only made those traits more extreme. It’s like the cracks were always there, but now they’re impossible to ignore.”
• “Kody was used to having 4 wives dote on him and give him constant praise. Same with all of their children. Now he’s the reality tv man villain, and most of his children are low or no contact and 3 wives have left him. He has to brag up Robyn to try and feed that hungry ego.”
• “I do think he is having a mental health change in the past few years or at least the problem amplified. You can see it in his eyes for sure.”
