Go Sister Wives be canceled after a family tragedy?
As you’ve probably heard, Garrison Brown is dead at the very young age of 25.
The son of Sister Wives cast members Janelle and Kody Brown, Garrison allegedly committed suicide by gunshot wound on March 5.
The news is truly horrible.
In the wake of the tragedy, many are wondering if the show should continue or if it should actually be canceled.
In fact, there are those who are close to Garrison and demand an end to the show.
So where does the next season leave? Here’s what we know.
Garrison Brown’s death and family reaction
Janelle confirmed the news on Instagram shortly after learning of her son’s passing. She wrote:
“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of everyone who knew him.
“His loss will leave a hole in our lives so big it will take our breath away. We ask that you respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”
Garrison appeared in several episodes of Sister Wives and has been in the news quite frequently in recent years due to his feud with his father.
The 25-year-old and his brother, Gabe, stopped speaking to their father in 2021 due to the very strict rules and regulations Kody put in place amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
The 17-year-old father basically forbids his children from seeing friends or significant others out of concern for their safety (or mostly his safety). to haveas Kody admitted at that time), resulting in Garrison ended up buying his own house to distance herself from this father.
As far as we know? At the moment of his death?
Garrison still wasn’t close with Kody.
Kody and Garrison: Their Relationship On and Off Screen
Kody confessed to being a horrible fatherwhile Janelle said on Sister Wives: Look Back special in December 2022 that Garrison was “somewhat” in communication with Kody.
But she also made it clear at that time that there was “no reconciliation” between father and son.
Again, it’s all extremely sad.
It’s just a heartbreaking tragedy.
But many watchers now can’t help but wonder if this will have an impact on the future of this TLC series.
‘Sister Wives’ was canceled after Garrison’s death
At the time, Sister Wives Season 19 It’s an attempt.
We believe cameras are rolling episodes that likely won’t air until early 2025; Yes, that’s how they film episodes of most reality shows.
However, is it really appropriate to air these episodes after Garrison’s death?
How are you any plot will be received, how will executives justify coverage any topic, is this NOT Garrison’s suicide?
And if Sister Wives becomes a show dedicated solely to the tragedy of Garrison Brown, might it seem like the producers are exploiting the young man’s passing?
There is no easy answer here. And there is no clear answer either.
We just don’t know right now.
What we do know is that, although many members of the The Brown family has shared words Out of shock and sadness in response to this tragedy, Garrison’s friend Bryson Cook is calling for the show to end on his friend’s behalf.
On March 11, Cook shared a handful of photos of himself, Garrison and a few other friends, writing a long caption alongside this montage that began:
“You told me you would always be there for me. You said you would talk about my future wedding and that you would like us all to live next door to each other once we get settled.
“I remember the days when you were the one who convinced me to stay for three hours at church.”
“I remember the nightly conversations about life and the future. I’m mad at you, Robert, I’m mad that you left without talking to me one last time. I KNOW I’ll be able to see you again and we’ll be able to hug then, but for now I’m angry…. I miss you, friend.
Of particular interest to many observers, Bryson concluded his statement by including the hashtag #cancelsisterwives
He did not give further details.
The price of the show for children
Janelle and Kody have five children besides Garrison, who fans met on-air in 2010: Madison, Logan, Gabriel, Hunter and Savanah.
Over the years, as previously mentioned, Kody’s relationship with his children became strained.
In a confessional interview at a certain point in 2022, Janelle expressed concern about his children’s lack of connection with their father.
“I have been worried about my boys’ mental health. Gabriel feels everything very, very deeply. But he’s also the kid who doesn’t say anything,” she said before adding that Garrison “just seems angry or more sad, like, he’s not as carefree as he used to be.”
Added Kody in a May 2023 episode:
“It’s been a while since I’ve had contact with Gabriel and Garrison.
“I’m very sad that I’m not closer (to them). There were so many things in our lives that we did that were rich together, you know, just special experiences.
“I think and hope that with time we will overcome this and that we will be safe to be together again. Right now, there isn’t really an open door for Gabe and Garrison.
“They are not willing to involve me.”
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Lt. Charles M. Hernandez II of the Flagstaff Police Department confirmed the following:
“On 3/5/2024, Flagstaff Police Officers responded to a report of a death inside a home.”
FPD confirmed that Garrison’s brother, Gabriel, “discovered the late Mr. Brown” in an apparent suicide.
TLC then issued a statement that said:
“We are devastated to learn of the tragic loss of Garrison Brown. We extend our deepest sympathies and sympathies to the Brown family at this difficult time.”
