"Real Men don't dream they are Batman, nor aspire to dark, controversial roles." - NoWayThisWasKodyBrownAh yes, the memorable tweet Kody sent out at the height of his former legal wife's infatuation with a person who later was proven to be an "imposter"...if you know what I mean. But while the second sentence has Kody Brown written all over it, that first sentence, the one where the gauntlet is thrown down for the lovely Meri Brown could not have come out of the Real Kody Brown's gray matter. Just.Not.Possible.
"Men lovingly become Santa Clause [sic] to their children! ;-)" - RealKodyBrown
Here's a collection of a few more memorable Kody Brown quotes from this last season, which, in my opinion, illustrates the true nature of the man named Kody Brown.
And folks, it ain't pretty.
There's the infamous anniversary trip to Galveston Texas. Not only was Galveston the least romantic place for a trip, let alone an anniversary, Kody and producers also dragged along a marriage therapist.
And it showed the lengths Kody would go to avoid any romance with the woman who gave birth to six of his spirit babies.
Mind you, this is the same man who, while being interviewed by Natalie Morales about the "chili-cheese nachos" incident, in which Kody in a cold matter- of -fact manner told the audience he was so disgusted by Christine's gobbling up nachos, he almost called off his spiritual marriage to her. And even when chided by Morales that, perhaps, he should apologize to Christine because she looked very hurt by his admission of disgust, Kody flat out refused to apologize.
The sad truth is he probably would not have "married" her if it wasn't for her polygamous blue-blood heritage.
So here's Christine, obviously stuck in a one-sided relationship with a man who thinks being a "Santa Claus[e]" with his children is good parenting. It was pitiful how she grovelled at Kody's feet, for a crumb of recognition and maybe a little romance...to which Kody replied...
"Honor the entire family, and I will love you..."
Sorry Christine, you got the booby prize in the form of a man named Kody Brown, stuck in a loveless polygamous marriage with three other women. Correction, 2 other women and a new legal wife who took Kody on a romantic trip to Hawaii, with her saved up grocery money. Yeah, right.
Yep, Christine, you lost out to Robyn. Her family with Kody is the one you and the rest of the Original Three must honor if you want Kody to throw you the leftovers after he's given Robyn and her kids the majority of his time and attention and love.
Sucks to be in a plural marriage, doesn't it?
On the topic of parenting, the next Kody Brown quote is typical in that this man is not very bright, and whenever he tries to be clever, he fails miserably.
Case in point. When King Sol threw his tiny fist in the direction of big sister Gwennie's face, it was Garrison who took issue with the obvious coddling of the little prince, in effect, rewarding the little fellow for bad behavior. Of course, his mother Janelle (who will never win Mother of the Year for her parenting skills) chided him by saying (using a pointed finger to emphasize her point) "It's not up to you. That is not your decision. You are not a parent...You're gonna be gone doing your adult life in a few years. Just relax about it. We are on vacation and you're going to be chill." To which the soon to be out of the cul-de-sac Garrison replied "Okay, but if we end up raising a little narcissistic brat..."
Now in some respects, I agree that children should not parent other children. But let's face it, before Garrison, it was his brother Logan who did most of the parenting. So when Kody mentions there are five parents available to parent, it was like a "say whut?" moment for me.
Look at the scene when King Sol threw his fist in anger at Gwennie. It wasn't a "parent" who took on the little prince, it was Robyn's live-in Nanny/Housekeeper/Driver Mindy Jessop who took control of the situation.
So where exactly were the five parents, Kody?
And then Kody spells out what REALLY is going on when he says "Let's just not have the kids correcting my other kids...That's all I'm trying to do here."
Now, Kody has historically called his children with Janelle "Janelle's kids." Or his children with Christine "Christine's Kids." He has never called any of the children "My Kids" let alone as "My Other Kids", ever.
Nope, what Kody was telling the audience was "the kids" belong to Christine and Janelle, while "my other kids" he mentioned belong to Kody and ROBYN. And no one will be allowed to parent Robyn's kids except for...Mindy. And once she leaves, whoever the next family member Robyn hires to take Mindy's place.
Now, I'm not saying Garrison was correct. In fact, Garrison appears to have some anger issues, which hopefully going into the National Guard will help him work it out. But it's obvious there is no love lost between Kody and Garrison. Garrison acknowledges that Kody does "piss him off" sometimes, while he sarcastically mentions "But, you know, Dad's all wise and powerful."
Yikes! Here's hoping Kody sleeps with an eye open when it's Janelle's night.
Finally, from the Tell All episode, Tamron asked the question we have all been waiting to hear the answer to..."Are you going to divorce Robyn and remarry Meri?"
To which Kody simply answered "Why would I go through that process again? Why would we do that? Everyone seems to value this legal marriage."
The look on Meri's face was priceless. It seemed to scream at Kody "You thoughtless, narcissistic fool." It was Meri who gave up her legal status, presumably to enable Kody to adopt Robyn's kids. But that process is done. Robyn's kids are now legally Browns. So what's the hold-up?
Well, that "hold-up" was sitting next to Kody on the Tell All couch, in all her pregnant grandeur. There is NO WAY Robyn will ever give up that legal piece of paper. And it doesn't matter how many times Kody and his mouthpiece Janelle will try to explain it away. Robyn will remain Kody's wife until she can no longer profit from being his wife. She will then move on to the next husband.
Wouldn't it be rich if Kody and Robyn suddenly denounce plural marriage and ride off into the sunset with their kids to live as monogamists. I wonder how Janelle will explain that away?
So those are my most unforgettable Kody Brown Quotes from this season. What were some of yours?
