Mykelti Brown— one of Kody Brown’s only remaining allies in the Brown family– is calling him out for blaming others and not taking accountability for the fractured relationships within the family.
Sister Wives fans have watched this season as both Kody and his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, have continued to have support from Mykelti– daughter of Kody and his ex-wife Christine Brown– despite Kody being estranged from many of his adult children.
In a recent livestream on her Patreon, however, Mykelti shared with fans how the currently airing season of the family’s TLC show has changed her perspective on the conflicts within the Brown family, seemingly blaming her dad for not helping to mend his relationships with her siblings.
“I think that if he took more accountability for any of his actions, his kids– maybe not all of them, but at least some of them– would reach out,” Mykelti stated after watching last week’s episode of ‘Sister Wives.’
“Instead of blaming the children, or blaming how they feel about his relationship with his other wife or blaming the parents or blaming gossip or whatever, if he just said, ‘Look, I understand I did <blank> wrong. I’m sorry. Can we talk about it?’” Mykelti continued. “I feel like that would go such a long way.”
Mykelti went on to say that she has had to straight-up tell her father that he owes her an apology or explanation for something he did or said to her.
“I have said, ‘Look, Dad, this situation happened. I needed you to do this for me and instead you did this,” Mykelti said. “You blamed somebody else, and because of that, we’re having issues.”
Mykelti stated that, eventually, Kody will take accountability…usually.
“I’ve had to go to him point blank and say, ‘Look, this is what happened.’ And he has taken accountability directly with me…” she said. “He has taken accountability– but during that accountability he also blamed [someone else]. And what I needed, and what I think all of my siblings needed, was just for him to not to do any blame. Not necessarily take all accountability but say, ‘I’m sorry. I know what I did wrong, how can I fix it, what can I do?'”
“He could still say, ‘I think you did wrong as well.’ But taking some accountability I feel like would go such a huge way,” Mykelti said.
‘There’s certain amount of pride that Kody is showing, and at no point does he want to step down [and admit fault], or lay down and become vulnerable,” Mykelti’s husband Tony Padron added. “He’s, like, referring to his children in this very prideful [way], where he feels like he can treat these other humans equally because some of them are adults. But he doesn’t quite understand that they’re his kids…you’ll still be standing in some sort of parental role forever. And he just never wants to stand down.”
Tony noted that, while he sees Kody having a lot of love for Robyn, he doesn’t see Kody showing that he has a lot of love for his kids.
“What I think is so sad is I don’t see that love in Kody for these people,” he said. “…there’s spite and there’s pride and there’s just not a lot of love…I think he needs to remember that [love]. Otherwise, I don’t think he’s going to get anywhere with them.”
As The Ashley previously told you, Mykelti revealed back in September in the comment section on her Patreon account that she and Tony are no longer supportive of Robyn, due to her actions at the funeral of Mykelti’s brother, Garrison Brown, who died by suicide in March and was still estranged from Kody at the time of his death.
“ … To give you some insights. It’s true we have always been super-supportive of Robyn,” Mykelti wrote in response to a fan’s comment. “Yes, lately it may seem as that has changed. There are things that happened during the recent funeral [for Garrison] that are the reason for that. We won’t be talking about those events. So you’re not totally wrong.”
Meanwhile, Kody’s estrangement from daughter Maddie Brown has been a topic of discussion on the current season of ‘Sister Wives,’ with Kody accusing Maddie on a recent episode of keeping her children away from him at a family wedding and of spreading gossip within the family. In response to Kody’s comments, Maddie’s mom, Janelle Brown, explained to viewers that Maddie– as well as some of Kody’s other adult children– are no longer in contact with their father because they’re upset with the way Kody “has treated the family” and because he essentially “ditched” them.
“ … Maddie doesn’t have any contact with him,” Janelle added. “She is very protective of her children. Kody has not been there since Evie was born and Evie’s three-and-a-half [years old].”
Maddie spoke about this topic herself in a podcast interview back in November, claiming that her children don’t know who Kody is and that she wasn’t going to force her dad to have a relationship with his grandchildren.
During her livestream this week, Mykelti addressed the comments her dad has made about Maddie on the show this season, claiming she understood why “everyone’s frustrated,” as well as why “Maddie snapped” at Kody recently on social media by seemingly calling her dad “a snake.”
“ … He threw Maddie under the bus hard,” Mykelti stated, adding that if she were ever in a situation like Kody with her own children, she would do whatever it took to mend those relationships.
“ … I would always sit outside that door, knock, apologize and ask and ask and ask and just continue to try to do whatever I could to make that relationship stronger,” she said. “I feel like that’s what you do as a parent.
“Sometimes you just have to take the knife in the kidney, get over it, and apologize,” she added.
“… When you put things out there on the show like this, there’s no taking it back,” she later added. “When he puts things on the show like this, you’re screwed. Maddie has seen this episode now. Maddie’s pissed. That door is slammed, locked, and it will be slammed forever unless he makes a statement on the show and condemns what he said.”
Mykelti went on to say that the “blanket statements” her dad has made on the show in the past about his children have hurt her, even when she knew they weren’t about her personally. She also shared her opinion on Kody’s tendency to place the blame on everyone but himself.
“If you’re the common denominator that people have problems with, it’s probably not them. It’s you,” she said.

He NEVER loved their mothers but proceeded to have 13 kids with them. That makes you Grody a very SICK HUMAN BEING !! Shame on TLC AGAIN for letting trash like him continue on this show. He goes right along with Trash Mouth Angela & Little Ed who is as foul as can be.
I have never liked Mikelty or Tony but I’m glad they finally opened their eyes and can see Robyn & Kody for the narcissists that they are.
Same here. She likes attention, just like dear dad, and it’s good that she’s finally calling him out on his BS.
About damn time, Mykelti. Kody is probably gelling his hair in the mirror practicing his sight words for his rant in his next interview about this. “Loyalty… safe… coward… I had the loyalty of my only safe daughter left but she’s… she’s a coward now… because her MOTHER! Who I never loved….”
