On Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives, Janelle Brown threw a graduation party for her youngest daughter Savanah, but Savanah’s dad Kody wasn’t in attendance for the celebration, as Janelle revealed to viewers that he was intentionally left off the invitation list.
While many of Kody’s children were present for Savanah’s party– which was held at Christine Brown and husband David Woolley’s home– Janelle explained that she doesn’t interact with Kody or his only remaining wife Robyn Brown, nor does Savanah “really have much to do with them.” Because of this, Janelle insisted it would’ve been “super-awkward” if Kody had been included in the celebration.
Kody seemed to somewhat agree with Janelle’s statement, telling viewers he “wouldn’t have expected to be invited” to the graduation party; however, he went on to claim that his exclusion was due to him not being “in a good place” with both Janelle and Christine.
Later in the episode, Kody went on to tell viewers that, while he’d like to be included in his daughter’s life, he believes he can’t as long as Robyn is still in the picture.
“I’d like to be able to be part of Savanah’s life, but it’s like [the family is] in this collusion that seems to hate Robyn and I don’t know why,” Kody claimed. “Other than, well, they’re jealous.”
In response to her ex-husband’s claim, Janelle explained on Sunday’s episode that Kody wouldn’t have been invited to the family celebration with or without Robyn, as he’s estranged from nearly all of his children.
“So, Kody has this idea that somehow if he leaves Robyn home, he’s gonna be able to come to these family gatherings and that’s so far from the truth,” she said. “Kody is alienated from 90 to 95 percent of his children. He is not really wanted at events.
“He’s not coming, regardless of who he brings or doesn’t bring with him,” Janelle added.
Kody went on to express frustration over how much the current situation with (the majority of) his family “sucks,” before attempting to play the victim insisting again that he’s being ostracized for remaining married to Robyn.
“I’ve got this whole other side of the family that have decided that they’re still a family and we’re out,” he said. “Now, they’ll let me in that club as long as I leave Robyn behind. I can’t do that.”
As fans of ‘Sister Wives’ know, Kody is estranged from many of his children and has been estranged from some of them for years now. Kody has blamed the estrangement on a variety of things over the years, including his children disregarding his COVID-19 rules, the fallout from his three divorces, his children’s feelings towards Robyn and, as viewers saw earlier this season, alleged gossip being spread within the family– the latter of which led Janelle and Kody’s daughter Maddie to take to Instagram in October to call her dad a “snake.”
Meanwhile, Kody and Christine’s daughter Ysabel expressed concern in a recent episode regarding her connection with her stepdad David and how she fears it may negatively impact her relationship with Kody to the point that it “will not exist anymore.”
During the episode, Ysabel recognized that David is “a very present dad with his children,” before going on to admit that she would love to have a similar relationship with Kody.
“ … I mean, how lovely would that be, right? I would love to have a relationship that is as amazing with my own father,” she said.

I would NEVER be with any man who didn’t get along with my sons period !!
You can’t be monogamous in a plural marriage! And you kids see the worst of you. They get older and notice what an ass you are Grody!
After seeing Kody’s older brother on this episode, who has an identical receding hairline and hair color as grey as Kody’s, who else can’t unsee it now when you look at Kody? The ramen curls loom like a wig! Otherwise he looks exactly like his older brother.
Guess what, Kreep! Your kids hate you, too, and with good reason! You’ve favored Sobbyn and her spawn for many years, and the OG 13 (sadly, now OG 12, RIP, Garrison) all know it. Sobbyn wanted you all to herself, and you ditched your OG family all to favor her. You’re a sperm dispenser, and nothing else to your kids by Meri, Janelle, and (especially, IMO) Christine. How very sad that is.
Kody, has never been kind to his children and it goes to show that Robyn has 100% control of him. I would not want any of my children to be involved in that type of father.
