Sister Wives star Kody Brown pays a hefty price for fame, as celebrity status from the TLC series likely paved the way for something painful to surface today.
Parents who lose a child know the depths of despair. But, when there’s a tragic death scene, they usually do not hear the details, as law enforcement typically spares them that pain. Still, people rush to grab the details when a celebrity becomes involved. And sometimes it’s at a horrendous cost.
Sister Wives: Kody Brown’s Fame Came with Much More Than Money
When Kody Brown first entered the realm of reality TV, he considered himself on a mission. He wanted to soften the world’s view on polygamy. While what he showed the Sister Wives fans early on seemed to accomplish that goal, it didn’t last.
The Sister Wives scenes showed more and more what life was really like for Kody’s family. His marriage consisted of one man and four women. From the beginning, Sister Wives fans were curious about jealousy.
But at first, the ladies seemed to play down any jealous feelings. While the feelings were there, they were minimal, or so they said. That’s until it became too evident on the screen to ignore. Then Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Robyn Brown admitted jealousy existed over Kody.
To the veteran Sister Wives fans, it seemed once they opened up about their jealousy, the cameras picked up more disparaging scenes between the spouses. So, this created a bigger window into Kody and his brides’ lives.
Kody Huffs & Puffs – Finally Blowing Down the House
Sister Wives fans describe the first few seasons as enlightening. They saw the family as normal in every other aspect except for the four wives sharing one husband.
Viewers were especially surprised at the kids, who not only seemed normal, but they seemed to excel in life, both in school and socially. Then as the kids started to turn into young adults, most of them went to college. So, the fans watched as the Sister Wives family raised a brood of successful kids.
But then something went wrong over the last several seasons, as viewers watched Kody Brown belittle his wives and kids. The Sister Wives’ audience became confused over Kody’s behaviors. Many thought he did this for ratings, as his show was going downhill with viewers.
But, the ratings climbed when all this friction became a weekly thing on the screen. So fans wondered how much of this was real and how much was embellished for Kody to keep Sister Wives afloat. Then, when the three original wives jumped ship, it became evident that his behavior was the real deal.
Sister Wives: The Awful Side of Fame
Kody Brown wanted fame, and that’s what he got. But being a celebrity often comes with a price, and it looks like that price recently got excruciatingly painful for the Sister Wives clan.
With the death of their son, Garrison Brown, the family got very little privacy, despite requesting this. From the police reports to Garrison’s roommates, the information on the details became public knowledge.
But the latest news surrounding this family tragedy is tough to hear for fans. So, you can only imagine how the family feels. The audio from the police cam was released. So, as the police enter Garrison’s room, you can hear their words about what they see, what they find, and other comments regarding this scene.
Fans Hope Kody and Janelle Brown Never Hear This
The audio of Garrison’s death scene is now online forever. Sister Wives fans today hope Janelle and Kody never opt to listen, as it’s disturbing to hear.
You become very aware that the squeaky door heard in this audio is the police entering Garrison’s bedroom, where his body was found. You hear the police officer say he is “dead.” They describe the scene, including finding the gun and shell casing.
Because of the disturbing content of this audio, you can only imagine what Janelle Brown or Kody Brown may experience if they happen to listen for themselves. But sadly, this is a price for the fame that Kody set out over a decade ago to capture for himself and his family.
So, the fame that awarded them their luxury living, today shows up with a darker side. Most parents who lose a child to a tragic death won’t ever have to worry about an audio like this floating around online. Unfortunately, prying into the Sister Wives’ personal lives came along with the fame Kody Brown strived to achieve through his TLC series.
