Sister Wives star Kody Brown steps out with his wife, Robyn Brown, for the first time since his daughter, Gwendlyn Brown, accused him of physically abusing her as a child. The 54-year-old former polygamist seemed unbothered by the claims as he seemed happy with his wife, Robyn, on the Las Vegas Strip.

Gwendlyn Brown accuses her father, Kody Brown, of child abuse

Kody’s daughter, Gwendlyn, has a Patreon account where she posts about her experience being raised in a polygamist family on reality TV. In a reaction video for Sister Wives Season 17 Episode 10, Gwendlyn took fan questions and shared shocking information about her childhood.

One fan asked about Kody’s rage and if it escalated into physical abuse. Kody’s 21-year-old daughter claimed that he was “physically abusive” to her as a child in the form of spankings.

“And I know some of you may disagree that spanking is abuse, and it is. It is an excessive way to discipline your children, and there are better ways to that won’t leave them emotionally scarred,” Gwendlyn said.

On top of the emotional scars, she claims to have also experienced physical bruises from the spankings at the hands of her father. “I remember personally being bruised a few times when my dad would spank me,” Gwendlyn said.

After backtracking about the abuse, Gwendlyn has unfollowed her mom, Christine, on Instagram. There is speculation that it was her mom who told her to edit the abuse allegations out of her videos. No one in the Brown family has commented on Gwendlyn’s allegations yet.
