A child from a well-known plural family has launched a public and emotional condemnation of their father, directly contradicting his televised claims of attempting reconciliation.
The individual, Leon Brown, broke a social media silence with a pointed statement on Instagram. The post explicitly refuted assertions made by their father, Kody Brown, on a recent episode of the family’s reality television program. In the episode, Kody Brown expressed a desire for therapeutic intervention to mend fractured relationships with his adult children, stating he had repeatedly tried to initiate contact.
Leon’s response was unequivocal. “Let me be so clear,” they wrote. “I have not heard from that man since my brother killed himself.” The statement further accused Kody Brown of intentionally ignoring them at their sibling’s funeral, labeling him a “liar” and a “joke of a father.”
This public airing of grievances highlights long-simmering tensions within the large family. Other adult children have previously voiced feelings of neglect and favoritism. One daughter, Ysabel Brown, became emotional on camera recalling her father’s refusal to accompany her for a critical spinal surgery during the pandemic, citing health concerns. She expressed feeling that his priorities were misplaced.
Another son, Paedon Brown, has spoken about a perceived imbalance in their father’s attention, suggesting Kody Brown focused disproportionately on younger children from a specific marriage, leaving older children feeling sidelined.
The father’s on-camera narrative of seeking healing and placing blame on a lack of reciprocity from his children now stands in stark contrast to the raw accusations of abandonment and dishonesty leveled by Leon. The conflict underscores the deep and public rift within the family, moving beyond private disagreement into a stark war of words.
