In one of the most heartbreaking turns the Sister Wives world has ever seen, new reports reveal the cruel reason why Kody Brown cut off all contact with Janelle in the aftermath of their son Garrison’s tragic death — and fans are absolutely outraged. 💔 What was supposed to be a time of family unity and shared grief has instead exposed deep emotional fractures that may never heal. According to insiders close to the Browns, Kody’s decision to distance himself from Janelle wasn’t about sorrow — it was about blame. “Kody couldn’t handle his guilt,” one source explained. “Instead of facing the pain head-on, he turned it outward and pushed Janelle away. It’s cruel, but it’s how he copes — by cutting people off when things get too real.” Fans who’ve followed the Brown family for years know that Garrison, Janelle’s son with Kody, had become increasingly estranged from his father in recent years, often clashing over Kody’s strict household rules and his treatment of the other wives. When the devastating news of Garrison’s passing broke, viewers expected Kody and Janelle to at least find comfort in each other’s grief. But sources say the opposite happened — and the reason is heartbreaking. “Kody reportedly told Janelle that she ‘let Garrison drift too far away,’” an insider revealed. “He couldn’t face his own responsibility for how fractured things had become, so he blamed her. It broke Janelle completely.” Those close to Janelle say she tried to reach out in the weeks following their son’s death, hoping to find closure or at least a shared space to mourn, but Kody refused to answer her calls. “He said he needed space,” the source continued. “But it wasn’t space — it was avoidance. He couldn’t look her in the eye because deep down, he knows his choices played a role in pushing Garrison away.” The estrangement has left Janelle isolated, leaning heavily on Christine for emotional support. Christine, who’s also lost her own relationship with Kody, has reportedly been a “lifeline” for Janelle in recent months. “Christine’s the one person who truly understands how Kody operates,” the insider said. “She’s told Janelle, ‘You can’t fix him. You just have to protect your peace now.’” Fans online have expressed heartbreak and fury, calling Kody’s reaction “cold,” “selfish,” and “the lowest point yet.” One viewer wrote, “I used to believe Kody loved his family deep down. Now I’m not so sure. To abandon Janelle when she’s grieving their child? That’s unforgivable.” Another added, “This man can justify anything — even his own absence as a father.” TLC insiders say upcoming episodes of Sister Wives will touch on the aftermath of Garrison’s death and the ripple effect it’s had on each member of the family, including Kody’s growing isolation from all of his children. While some hope for reconciliation, others believe this may mark the point of no return. Janelle, meanwhile, is said to be focusing on healing with her remaining children and cherishing Garrison’s memory privately. “She doesn’t want to turn her grief into a storyline,” a friend shared. “She just wants peace — something she never had with Kody.” For fans who have watched this family evolve for over a decade, the silence between Janelle and Kody feels unbearably heavy. Once partners, now strangers united only by loss, their story has become a painful reminder that not all wounds can heal — especially when love is replaced by blame. 💔
