Maddie Brown Opens Up About Her Estrangement from Kody Brown on Sister Wives
Maddie Brown Brush has recently shared insights into her strained relationship with her father, Kody Brown. Their estrangement began in 2022 following Janelle Brown’s departure from Kody, and has been a topic of interest among fans for some time. In her podcast, The Authentic Society, Maddie delved into the reasons behind the rift.
The Reasons Behind the Estrangement
At 29, Maddie is a mother of three, with another child on the way, and her family dynamics have become a focal point during Season 19. In the November 11th episode, she candidly discussed her lack of contact with Kody, stating:
“I have no contact with some of my family because of what has happened. [Kody] doesn’t respect boundaries; it’s his way or no way, and I simply won’t play by those rules. His anger has been a major factor in my decision to go no contact.”
Maddie reflected on the challenges of communicating with Kody, noting that her straightforwardness often led to conflict. She shared that his frequent anger made it difficult for them to have open discussions.

Kody’s Anger and Its Impact
Maddie emphasized that Kody’s anger played a significant role in their estrangement. She expressed frustration over his tendency to dismiss others’ perspectives, which has further strained their relationship. Despite receiving messages urging her to forgive her father, Maddie asserted:
“I don’t think you understand my situation. Your experience with your dad might be very different from mine.”
As for the future of their relationship, Maddie remains uncertain. She mentioned on her podcast, “Some people just don’t deserve to be in your life,” indicating that she may not be open to reconciliation. Many fans believe that Kody is unaware of the emotional damage he has inflicted on his children, leaving the possibility of repair in question.
Maddie’s reflections highlight the complexities of family dynamics within the Brown family, and it remains to be seen how this situation will evolve moving forward.
