Kody Brown’s Worst Moments on Sister Wives

When this title jumped up to be written, I thought I was sure I could come up with a few of Kody Brown’s worst moments on Sister Wives. Spoiler alert: there are a lot. Kody has never been seen as the hero of his story but rather as the villain. After 19 seasons, there are more than enough moments to remind Kody of how badly he has acted over the years. 

Kody Brown thought himself a general

In Season 7 of Sister Wives, Kody is at the height of his power trip. The man honestly could not be stopped. While having one of the many weekly family meetings, he barked, “I’m the general; you’re the sergeant.” The “general” stood at the head of the table as his four wives and 18 children looked on, clearly developing the ick. Kody went on to say, “I’m your father, and whether I am right or wrong, I am always right. Okay?”

“I’m the general no matter how stupid I am. I am the president. You guys can gripe in private, but because you guys are all my little military, you can’t ever gripe to me.” The man waved his arms around as he spoke and couldn’t hold back a grin when his children started to moan. It’s no wonder one of his wives didn’t get up and leave him at this moment because Kody was insufferable.  

Not even Hawaii could make Kody Brown happy

Even one of the most sought-after vacation spots of all time, Hawaii, couldn’t make the patriarch happy. In fact, he threw one of his famous temper tantrums on the Big Island. The family had decided to end their vacation with a luau, which excited almost everyone except, you guessed it, Kody. It turns out the Arizona resident and poi-poi have a long-standing feud. The typical festival eats is a roasted pig, but Kody proclaimed he didn’t like the food. I knew you could never trust a man who didn’t like bacon. As the wives are working hard preparing the feast, he notes, “I’ll just go hungry.” 

At the time, Kody’s teenage son, Logan, tried to talk sense into his stroppy father. But Kody was having a pity party for one as he said, “Yeah, no, body asked my permission about this. Everyone can piss off.” Bless Logan for trying to be the voice of reason. I can see why he only interacts with his family off-camera as to save him from another embarrassing tantrum performed by his father.

This could have been the moment that the last shred of sanity left Kody’s body. He was already riled up from having to organize and pose for four separate household photos and one giant polygamous one. Shortly before deserting their beloved cul-de-sac for dryer Arizona pastures, Kody wanted to have a beautiful memory of their time in Las Vegas. If the outfits weren’t bad enough (I’m specifically talking about Mykelti’s dumb hat), Kody once again showed he couldn’t handle the pressure

As kids cried and wives grew annoyed, Kody started barking orders, “Look down the lens! Look at the camera!”Production even played his orders in slow motion for a bit of dramatic flair at the time. TLC cameras caught Kody’s facial expressions change, which was terrifying as the smile slowly peeled from his face. He grew so cranky he told his wives, “I’ve taken pictures for two hours. Everyone else has done it for 15 minutes.” 

Kody Brown is completely over his family

I’m not sure if Kody just forgot that TLC cameras were rolling for this Season 15 moment, but it wasn’t good. While on Coyote Pass, a property they still haven’t built on, Kody acknowledged that his own family is an obstacle to his happiness. Kody told Christine Brown, “In the end, I think we just determined that working together wasn’t safe. Honestly, I’m at a point now where I see the family in many ways as an obstacle to my own goals.” Yikes, I can’t imagine any of the wives were thrilled to hear this admission. This marked one of the first times that Kody started to lose a sense of reality when it came to actual family problems. This moment showed Kody putting his needs ahead of his family and proved how selfish he could be. 

Kody Brown storms out on Janelle Brown

Kody’s knockdown, drag-out fight was everything. I should have placed bets, but I could never have guessed it would have ended with Janelle Brown telling her now ex-husband to “f*ck” off. The conversation started off as a brainstorming session about what to do for the upcoming holidays, but Kody lost control of his temper, causing Janelle to say, “Shut your f*cking mouth and let me talk to you for a second.” 

Kody is visibly frustrated and still blames Janelle for not backing him with the COVID-19 rules. He tells his wife, “Janelle, OK. There’s a problem in the family, a problem that needs to be solved. Everything’s too hot now, and everybody thinks that I’m the bad guy. And so I don’t expect to see anybody at Christmastime. I don’t expect to see you.” As Janelle keeps her composure, Kody drops his true thoughts, saying, “You have cheated me out of my contact with my family.” No, Kody, you did that yourself. 

I hope Kody Brown looked after his kidneys

But perhaps the worst and cringiest of all was when Kody performed a one-man show that included a soliloquy. In the scene, Kody was still processing the fact that Christine was going to be leaving him. So he tried to throw a hail Mary as he dramatically told her, “Man! Just a knife in the kidneys,” as he mocked and stabbed himself. If the Royal Shakespeare Company is ever looking for a new Tybalt, I’d recommend Kody. 

Kody kept harping on the fact that plural marriage was a higher calling. But all he had done over the years was try to force his first three wives out. The upset Kody went on to cry, “The sacrifices I made to love you! Wasted!” It was safe to say that by the look on Christine’s face, she knew she had done the right thing by leaving.

American 90 Day Fiancé Cast Members Who Speak Their Partners’ Native Languages

90 Day Fiancé is one of the most diverse reality television series of its time. After ten years and several spin-offs, the franchise has represented dozens of countries. The original series follows international individuals who move to the US on a K1 visa in hopes of marrying their American fiancés. 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days differs from that as it features the journeys of Americans to foreign countries to meet their partners for the first time. On the other hand, 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way documents Americans moving to these countries.

Throughout all of these spin-offs, there have been multiple Americans who made efforts to learn their partner’s culture. Several of these cast members even worked to learn or improve at their partners’ native language, as some had a basic understanding already. These seven Americans in particular have shown advanced fluency in their non-native language in recent years.

Kara Rojer married her husband Guillermo Rojer during 90 Day Fiancé Season 9. After moving to Virginia from the Dominican Republic, Guillermo settled down with Kara and later started a family. One of the most interesting aspects of Kara and Guillermo’s segments was their ability to communicate in two languages. The couple sometimes spoke English, while they talked in Spanish at other times.

Kara had become fluent in Spanish before meeting Guillermo, as she lived in the Dominican Republic for some time. It was evident that Kara was very confident in her Spanish speaking skills, which likely got even better after meeting Guillermo.

Clayton Clark was featured with his wife Anali Vallejos on 90 Day Fiancé Season 10. Despite a few arguments, Clayton and Anali ultimately got married at the end of the season after she moved to America from Peru. While Clayton was infamous for having a mom who lived in his closet, that wasn’t the only thing viewers noticed about him.

As Anali didn’t speak any English, she and Clayton only communicated in Spanish. In fact, the couple had originally met on a language-learning app. Clayton’s Spanish was excellent and fans observed that he was more skilled in the language than some of the other Americans on the show. For instance, Clayton conjugated verbs perfectly and had an expansive vocabulary.

Ashley Campbell is another American 90 Day Fiancé cast member who is fluent in Spanish. During 90 Day Fiancé Season 10, Ashley married her Ecuadorian husband Manuel Velez after he moved to the US. The couple later returned for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8. As Manuel doesn’t speak any English, he and Ashley converse in Spanish. During Season 8, Ashley tried to convince Manuel to take English lessons but he didn’t stick with them.

It’s evident that Ashley’s Spanish skills are strong and she communicates effectively in the language. While she may forget to conjugate a verb now and then, there’s no question that Ashley’s Spanish is impressive.

Daniele Gates was featured with her husband Yohan Geronimo on The Other Way Seasons 4 and 5. During a trip to Yohan’s home country of the Dominican Republic, Daniele met him and quickly fell in love. It wasn’t long before the couple got married and Daniele decided to move permanently to the DR. While Yohan didn’t speak any English, this wasn’t a problem since Daniele already spoke decent Spanish.

While Daniele knew some Spanish before marrying Yohan, her relationship helped her in improving her skills. Daniele’s Spanish sounds like that of a native speaker and it’s clear that she’s put a lot of work into learning the language.

Steven Johnston

Steven Johnston was a controversial cast member during The Other Way Season 3 but viewers did admire his language learning skills. After meeting on a language learning app, Steven eventually moved to Turkey to marry his Russian wife Alina Johnston. At the start of their relationship, Steven helped Alina practice English while she helped him improve his Russian. The set-up worked out well for the couple, as they are now both fluent in each language.

While Steven and Alina mainly communicated in English, his Russian came in handy at other times. For instance, Steven had no problem communicating with Alina’s mother who only spoke Russian. Compared to other foreign languages, Russian is a hard one for native English speakers to master. Steven had a few flaws but we definitely give him some credit for this!

Patrick Mendes appeared with his wife Thaís Ramone on 90 Day Fiancé Season 9 and later on Happily Ever After? Season 8. When the couple first met in Brazil, there was a large language barrier in between them. Patrick only spoke English whereas Thaís knew Portuguese. Once he realized how determined he was to make things work, Patrick worked quickly to teach himself Portuguese. Once Thaís moved to America, she picked up more English as well. The couple now communicates in both English and Portuguese.

Despite Patrick’s dad living in Brazil, he only gained exposure to Portuguese after meeting Thaís. It’s admirable that Patrick was able to become fluent in the language so fast to make things work with Thaís.

Brian Muniz

Brian Muniz is currently appearing with his girlfriend Ingrid on Before The 90 Days Season 7. After talking online for two years, Brian decided to travel to Brazil to meet Ingrid for the first time. This isn’t Brian’s first time in Brazil, however, as he’s had several relationships there in the past. Due to spending so much time in Brazil, Brian explained that he eventually became fluent in Portuguese.

Since Ingrid doesn’t speak English, Brian’s Portuguese has been quite useful. Brian has a vast vocabulary in Portuguese and uses advanced phrases and metaphors when speaking. Brian’s Portuguese is excellent and it’s honestly hard to tell that he isn’t a native speaker.
