Gabriel âGabeâ Brown is letting his boundaries be known.
As Gabe made and enjoyed breakfast with his mom Janelle Brown during the Sunday, Oct. 13 episode of Sister Wives, the 22-year-old revealed that his father Kody Brown, 55, had âhit me upâ to chat. âIt was like strange because he was like, âHey, I miss you.â And then, he was like, he kept, like, phrasing it like I owed him an apology,â Gabe recalled.
âEventually, I was just like, âHey, unless youâre, like, actually ready to have a relationship and fix things, then weâre not going to talk anymore,'â Gabe continued. âHe came back a couple of days later and texted me. Heâs like, âHey, Iâve been like thinking about what youâve been saying. I forgive you, Please forgive me.â I was like, âForgive me for what?â Like, whatâs going on here?â
At one point, Gabe said: âI told dad that if he doesnât change and he canât take accountability, then I just wonât ever see him again. And Iâm perfectly OK with that.â
Janelle, meanwhile, noted that she doesnât âknow what it would take at this pointâ to get things back on track, especially with everybody in the family being âso busy and theyâre starting to spread out across the country.â But Gabe said, âI think it would take Dad really setting things straight. And, I think that that would take an act of God.â
From there, Janelle, 55, then expressed in a confessional that she believes the COVID-19 quarantine period, which jumpstarted Kodyâs estrangement from much of the family, had âjust presented an opportunity for their dad to do what heâs been wanting to do for a long time, which was live and make a life with his favorite wife,â she said, referring to Kodyâs fourth wife Robyn Brown, 44.
âTheir dad had been expressing things to them just off the cuff about, you know, he wished that he would have waited and just married Robyn. I donât know what dad says that to their kids, but my kids have many stories like that,â Janelle continued, though Kody denied it and called the âgossipâ surrounding this a âmisunderstanding.â
As Gabe and Janelleâs conversation shifted to discussing Robyn, Gabe said: âI think that Robyn definitely has a victim complex. IÂ mean, to put it bluntly, and I donât necessarily blame her for that.â
Gabe also said he missed being close to Robyn and Kodyâs children but he canât âblame them at all for following on along party lines.â
âIf she actually believes that we were mistreating her or her children in any way when she was constantly getting favorited by dad and we were always working on our relationship with her kids. If she actually believes that, then thereâs no chance of me having a relationship with Robin ever again,â Gabe declared. âI donât know, I just, I donât have a lot of respect for Robyn, so itâs hard for me to rationalize some of her actions. Maybe thatâs the reason that sheâs like, âOh, you always hated us,â is because she doesnât have our respect anymore because she does sâ like that.â
Continuing to candidly address how he feels, Gabe added that he is ânot hopeful for a relationship with dad and Robyn.â
