A recent Reddit thread about the Fox series went viral. This happened after fans shared behind-the-scenes claims about how Kody allegedly acted during filming.

According to users, several cast members described him as “socially awkward,” “childlike,” and even “misogynistic.” Some viewers admitted that they tuned in expecting Kody to fail but ended up surprised by his physical fitness and intensity. Others, however, accused him of using supplements and showing rude behavior toward women. But what exactly did these Redditors and Kody’s costars have to say about his controversial stint on the show? Keep on reading to find out.

Special Forces: Kody Brown Faces Backlash For His Views On Masculinity

Kody Brown’s appearance on Special Forces immediately sparked conversation. The reality star, known for his outspoken views and complex family dynamic, made headlines early in the season after several remarks about “manhood” raised eyebrows. “To do hard things is to be good at being a man,” Kody declared during the premiere episode. Later, he added, “Good quality manhood, masculinity, is taking responsibility for the job that needs to be done and doing it.”

These comments didn’t sit well with some viewers, who accused him of promoting outdated gender stereotypes. Throughout the show, Kody referenced his children as his motivation for pushing through the challenges, saying he wanted to prove he could still “do the impossible.” However, his confidence came across as arrogance to some of his fellow contestants.

Special Forces: Reddit Users Label Kody Brown ‘Misogynistic’

The criticism intensified after a viral Reddit post surfaced, summarizing cast and fan impressions of Kody’s time on Special Forces. The post claimed that behind the scenes, Brown acted “childlike,” “socially awkward,” and often ignored others. One alleged that he “had to be on some sort of amphetamine” because he was “burning past everyone” and “barely eating.” Another detail that caught fans’ attention was that Kody supposedly “took so many supplements and vitamins” that no one knew what he was actually consuming.

According to the Reddit user, fellow contestants initially thought Kody might have a mental condition and treated him kindly. They later changed their opinion, concluding that he was simply “an awkward weirdo, misogynistic a–hole.” Sister Wives fans didn’t hold back in the comment section. One wrote, “I’m not surprised he’s fit. He’s been pampered by four women for years.” Another chimed in, “No matter what show he’s on, Kody shows us exactly who he is.”

Meanwhile, some of Kody’s Special Forces castmates have hinted at behind-the-scenes tension. Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia admitted she “didn’t necessarily get along” with him, while Real Housewives star Gia Giudice revealed he “wasn’t being the best team player.” Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East diplomatically said that although many personalities clashed, everyone “had each other’s backs” when it mattered most.
