Paedon Brown Says Kody Tried to Censor His Kids on Social Media

• Paedon Brown said his dad Kody tried to “control” what some of his kids said about him online. 
• Christine Brown told her ex he was “not allowed” to  legally censor his kids. 
• Paedon said Kody only called his kids because he was “losing the battle” with their mom.

During his livestream with blogger John Yates on January 11,”Sister Wives” star Paedon Brown said that his dad Kody Brown tried to “control” some of his kids’ contracts with TLC to prevent them from speaking negatively about him online.

At about the one hour and 31-minute mark of the livestream, Paedon revealed that the last conversation he had with his dad was a few months ago and “out of the blue.” Though their relationship was fraught, Paedon thought the phone call  went well and felt was “getting my father back.”  

When speaking with his mother, Kody’s ex Christine Brown, the following day, Paedon was asked if Kody had mentioned the “argument” they’d been having.

Paedon then learned that Kody has been trying to “convince” unnamed executives at TLC to put a provision in some of his adult children’s contracts for “Sister Wives,” that they “are not allowed to say anything negative about him” on their social media platforms or else “TLC would sue” them. 

According to the 24-year-old, his mother’s response was, “you can’t control our children that way.” She added that TLC had refused to include that condition in the contracts. 

Paedon said that Christine told Kody, “You are not allowed to tell our children what they can and can’t say about you. You have to earn their love back.”

After the call with his mother, Paedon said he realized that Kody had called him and some of his sisters for a very specific reason: “He doesn’t want us talking negatively about him online.” 

The young man said that his dad only called him because he was “losing the battle” for control over what Christine’s kids said about him. 

“I realized, he didn’t call me because he wanted to talk to me. He called me because he doesn’t want me talking negatively,” Paedon said, adding that it “broke my heart.” 

Kody and Christine announced the end of their “spiritual” marriage in November 2021. In addition to Paedon, they share five daughters: Truely, 12, Ysabel, 19, Gwendlyn, 21, Mykelti Padron, 26, and Aspyn Thompson, 27. 

During his three-hour live interview with Yates, Paedon also said that he and some of his siblings were “never safe” around his dad’s first wife Meri Brown. He said she verbally abused them and implied worse, but refused to go into detail because it would “hurt the show.”
