Sister Wives star Kody Brown is once again the talk of the internet. This time, not for his family drama, but his time on Special Forces. A Reddit post recently gained traction after showing a still of Kody being tackled during one of the recent episodes. The user titled it “Kody getting tackled and taken down by a woman” and added, “This was thoroughly enjoyable,” sparking a wave of amused reactions from fans.
The viral moment has fans buzzing across platforms. Many started praising the woman who took him down, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East. But what exactly happened in the episode that led to this unexpected takedown? And how did viewers respond to seeing Kody lose his footing? Keep reading to find out what people have been saying on the matter.

Although a woman took Sister Wives star Kody Brown down on Special Forces, he still holds his spot as one of the eight surviving contestants in the competition. Last week’s episode saw several eliminations after the brutal Murderball challenge. Chanel Iman, Eric Decker, and Jesse James Decker all exited the show. But Kody’s time on Special Forces hasn’t been without controversy. Some of his fellow cast members have spoken up about their experience working with him. But not everyone had positive things to share.
Brianna Chickenfry revealed on her Instagram that she and Kody “didn’t necessarily get along well.” She teased fans that viewers would see the tension play out on screen. Meanwhile, Jussie Smollett also took time to address rumors about him and Kody. He clarified that although there were awkward moments, he ultimately respected Kody’s professionalism.
The Reddit thread that started it all featured a photo of Shawn Johnson East using a skilled Jiu-Jitsu move to bring Kody down during a challenge. Fans flooded the comments, many expressing delight over the moment. “That’s Shawn Johnson! She’s a 4’11” powerhouse,” one commenter wrote. She actually uses a jiu-jitsu move… one arm below his shoulder and another above his armpit, this shifts his center of gravity and gives her control of his upper body,” another one added.
Others saw poetic justice in the scene. “After he messed up the last two challenges for not listening to a word his female teammates said, I’m sure they had some pent up rage,” another user wrote. Some commenters even joked about how Kody might spin the story. “His narrative will be he couldn’t fight a woman over a ball because he is a gentleman,” one said.
While another added, “He pushed a woman down a hill, fell on her and left her laying there unsure if he broke her arm. He never even apologized.” A few fans speculated about his physical condition, noting that his appearance hinted at steroid use. “His emotional regulation seems to be absolutely shot,” one wrote.
