Sister Wives’ Mykelti and Sisters Are Hurt That Kody Took Robyn’s Daughter Aurora to Get Her Ears Pierced

In a recent revelation, Mykelti Padron (formerly Brown), a prominent figure in the reality TV show “Sister Wives,” opened up about a matter that left her and her sisters feeling hurt and perplexed. The controversy arose from an incident where Kody Brown, the family’s patriarch, took his and Robyn Brown’s daughter, Aurora, to have her ears pierced. The event was captured on camera for the show’s viewers.

The incident, showcased in the TLC program’s episode aired on Sunday, August 27, has sparked a wave of emotions within the Brown family. Mykelti, aged 27, seized an opportunity during a Patreon live stream on Tuesday, August 29, hosted by Without A Crystal Ball, to express her frustrations and illuminate the underlying hypocrisy she perceived in her father’s actions.

Mykelti disclosed that a stringent rule had been imposed by Kody, who is 54 years old, which forbade his daughters from getting their ears pierced while residing under his roof. This rule, however, did not apply to Aurora, who currently resides with Kody and her mother, Robyn. This inconsistency did not sit well with Mykelti and her sisters, leading to a sense of hurt and betrayal.

Mykelti, the daughter of Kody and his ex-wife Christine Brown, further elaborated on her father’s history of making derogatory remarks about women with pierced ears over the years. She highlighted the stark contrast between his past stance and the present situation, which left her and her sisters grappling with feelings of having had a different father figure while growing up.

The issue went beyond mere ear piercings. Mykelti expressed her disappointment in how Kody had never accompanied his older daughters when they got their ears pierced. This discrepancy underscored a larger pattern of Kody’s perceived lack of effort in nurturing close relationships with his older children.

Mykelti, in a bid to candidly connect with her fans, revealed her awareness that the filmed scene was a post-facto portrayal. She, however, hoped that it wouldn’t be included in the episode, as she was concerned about her other sisters’ reactions to it.

Theories regarding Kody’s willingness to film the ear-piercing scene emerged. Mykelti surmised that Kody might have been enticed by the prospect of generating an intriguing storyline, given the significance of ear piercings within the Mormon culture. The Church of Jesus Christ website reflects that the piercing of the body is generally discouraged, except for medical purposes. Modest ear adornments are advised for those who choose to have their ears pierced.

The episode also shed light on the dynamics within the plural family, particularly the relationship between Kody and Robyn. Viewers witnessed Robyn’s candid admission that she and Kody often felt like “outsiders” within the family structure. Robyn shared her frustration after attempting to arrange a virtual holiday gift exchange between her children and those of Christine and Janelle Brown, Kody’s other wives.

While Robyn faced obstacles and perceived resistance, both Christine, aged 51, and Janelle, aged 54, stood up for their children. Christine conveyed that the situation had been blown out of proportion, while Janelle clarified that her children weren’t opposed to the video call but were constrained by their busy schedules.

Robyn lamented the perceived distance between her family and the others, asserting that this sentiment had persisted since the inception of their plural family arrangement. The aftermath of the incident left Robyn’s older children feeling uncomfortable participating in the gift exchange.

In summary, the recent developments within the Sister Wives’ household have illuminated complex emotional dynamics, highlighting the evolving nature of relationships in a plural family setup. Mykelti’s candid revelations, combined with the discord over the ear-piercing incident and the challenges faced in fostering unity across the family, have added another layer of intrigue to the ongoing narrative of the reality show.
