KODY Brown has been slammed for threatening to evict his sons Gabrielle and Garrison from wife Janelle’s home for breaking Covid rules.
The Sister Wives star clashed with Janelle, 52, over the boys’ socializing during the Thanksgiving holidays in an explosive argument – which ended with Janelle telling him to “f**k off”.
Kody, 52, has previously set out strict Covid guidelines for his families on how to celebrate the holidays.
He told Janelle that she should be alone on Thanksgiving because her sons have been seeing too many people over the holidays and would put everyone else’s health in jeopardy.
He told her to “respect” the “big picture” regarding his rules, but she said she didn’t want to be alone and declared, “You know, f**k off,” before storming off.
They also went head to head over Gabrielle, 23, and Garrison, 20, living in Janelle’s house.
Kody thought they should move out because they had been breaking his Covid rules and if they remained at Janelle’s, he wouldn’t be able to go over.
Janelle said Garrison is saving up to buy a new house, but can’t afford one yet due to the rising cost of real estate in Flagstaff.
Kody hit back, saying Garrison needed to figure out his problems on his own.
In his confessional, the TLC star said: “I tolerated a lot for a very long time until I realized that I was being lied to or deceived
“And at that point, I sort of lost my patience with it, I’m like, you just need to make the boys move out.
“I’m on the verge of washing my hands of it. I’m gonna have Gabrielle and Garrison move out of the house. You’ve got a good car, you go get a job, here’s some cash. Bye.”
Janelle hit back: “This is a different day and age. You don’t just kick your kids out of the house at 18 and say, hope you do good I’m done. I’m tired.”
FAN BACKLASH
Furious viewers flocked to Reddit to condemn Kody’s behavior towards his sons.
One wrote, “You don’t just stop being a parent when your kid hits a certain age!”
Another added: “Not only does he want to kick them out. He wants to do it in the middle of a pandemic.
“Because you’re filled with raging jealousy that despite your awful parenting your sons are trying to better themselves. What a piece of s**t.”
“Instead of him taking the opportunity to reflect and grow as a parent, he takes the easy, selfish way out and just kicks them out,” a third raged.
TENSE TERMS
Janelle married Kody in 1993 and they have six children together – Logan, 27, Maddie, 26, Hunter, 24, Garrison, 23, Gabe, 20, and Savannah, 16.
Their relationship is believed to have soured in recent months, as Kody has not been seen in any of Janelle’s recent family photos.
In addition to Janelle, Kody is also married to wives Meri, 50, and Robyn, 43.
His former spiritual wife Christine recently left the polygamous family.
Christine announced the breakup late last year, as she wrote on Instagram: “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave.
“We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family.
“At this time, we ask for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family. With love, Christine Brown.”
