‘Sister Wives’ Exposes Kody Brown’s ‘Sadistic’ Side

While the Brown family faces turmoil, Kody Brown’s "sadistic" side emerges in the latest preview for Sister Wives Season 19. The family’s transition away from plural marriage seems to be intensifying his behavior under stress.

The new preview for Sister Wives Season 19 teases several heated exchanges. One notable moment involves Meri and Kody Brown confronting the end of their relationship. Meri is ready to move on, and Kody admits he never loved her. During the conversation, Kody expresses bewilderment, saying, “What did I do to deserve this?” and “What did I do wrong?” Meri’s response is definitive, “I’m not your wife anymore,” to which Kody bluntly responds with regret for marrying her. He even goes as far as to blame Meri for his lack of love. Fans observing the interaction noted Kody’s behavior as particularly “sadistic.”

On Reddit, Sister Wives fans were quick to call out Kody Brown’s “sadistic” tendencies. One user pointed out, “THIS MADE ME SO ANGRY,” referencing a specific moment in the trailer where Kody smiles during a serious discussion with Meri. The user argued that Kody seemed to derive pleasure from evoking emotional trauma in others, which they saw as evidence of his sadistic enjoyment.

The post also elaborated on the reasons behind Kody’s behavior:

• Kody derives satisfaction from others’ pain, feeling powerful and invulnerable.
• He seeks validation through the emotional reactions he provokes, reinforcing his self-worth.
• He has a deep need for power and control, which is fed by causing emotional distress.
• He projects his own insecurities onto his victims, making others feel the pain he refuses to acknowledge.

Another fan shared similar sentiments, remarking, “Look at how much delight he has in seeing Meri upset. Absolutely sickening.” They compared this to Kody’s reaction when Christine showed him no emotion, which seemed to frustrate him greatly. Another commenter noted, “Christine’s therapist did good work there,” referencing Christine’s ability to maintain a neutral demeanor.

Additional fans provided their perspectives on Kody’s behavior in the preview:

• “He takes pleasure in hurting these ladies, specifically Meri…it’s why he and his wife make such a compatible couple. Robyn enjoyed it too, though more covertly.”
• “That would explain the full meltdown with Christine. He couldn’t provoke her, so he tried other ways to get a reaction.”

Fans also discussed how Kody’s behavior might be influenced by his recent divorces. One Redditor noted, “He even complained that Christine was acting happy about the divorce. He’s got that wonky narcissist perception.” Another added, “If he didn’t love Meri at the beginning, he deserves an Emmy for his performance. They seemed happier than any other couple.”

Someone shared screenshots of Kody professing his love for Meri from earlier seasons. This sparked further comments:

• “They should make him read this out loud.”
• “If we had a legit tell-all, they’d roll tape on all the nonsense he spouts. We have 18 seasons of receipts.”
• “I saw somewhere that a new showrunner might have taken over. Maybe we’ll get a real Tell-All. I want all the receipts in his face.”

Another viewer concluded, “If Kody and Meri had been in a mainstream LDS church, they could’ve made their marriage work. They could’ve gone through fertility struggles together as a unit.”

As the new season premieres on Sunday, September 15th, on TLC at 10/9c, and later streams on Max, fans are eager to see how everything unfolds for the Browns.
