HARD GOODBYE Sister Wives’ Kody Brown ‘standoffish’ at son Garrison’s memorial as relationship with ex Janelle & kids remain strained
SISTER Wives star Kody Brown was resistant in mingling with his exes and estranged kids at son Garrison’s memorial, a source has exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun.
Garrison Brown, the son of Kody and Janelle, tragically died by suicide at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, on March 5.
Two weeks following the private funeral that was held on March 9, the Sister Wives family were publicly seen reuniting at a memorial service in Las Vegas.
In photos that were released by the Nevada National Guard, Garrison’s parents as well as his siblings were seen honoring his memory and paying their respects.
“Kody was standoffish. He was more resistant in mingling,” a source claimed to The U.S. Sun.
“Robyn encouraged Kody to sit close to Janelle,” referring to the patriarch’s last-standing wife, who has not been in communication with her sister wives Christine, Meri and Janelle.
“It wasn’t good for Robyn either since a lot of the family still has resentment towards her.”
The U.S. Sun previously reported that Garrison and his brother Gabe wanted “nothing to do” with Robyn and painted her to be “the biggest villain” since they believed she was part of the reason why the family tore apart and led to Kody’s split from his exes.
Aside from Garrison and Gabe, Janelle shares four other kids with ex Kody: Logan, Maddie, Hunter and Savanah.
SUPPORTING EACH OTHER
The source went on to say that the family reunion “was awkward,” but “everyone came together and they supported each other.”
“There was no anger, there was no fighting, there was none of that.
“Kody manned up and was actually vulnerable with David [Woolley],” the source continued about Christine’s now-husband.
“It was an interesting family dynamic – there’s some angry people, there’s some happy people, there’s some in the middle people.
“It was just like, ‘Let’s focus on Garrison type of thing.’ It really wasn’t about any ill-will feelings towards each other.”
As a nod to Garrison’s clothing company, some family members opted to wear Hawaiian patterns to honor their late relative, which a source told The U.S. Sun was a “sentimental thing between the kids.”
Despite the reunion on March 24, a source has insisted that everything isn’t rainbows and butterflies from here on out and that there’s “more work” that needs to be done to repair relationships.
