In the newest wave of Sister Wives shockers, the spotlight has shifted onto Mykelti Padron and her unfiltered reaction to the latest eyebrow-raising moment between her father, Kody Brown, and his remaining wife, Robyn Brown. After a recent episode aired showing Kody and Robyn getting extra cozy—and yes, full-on making out—right after he shaved off his mustache, fans flooded social media wanting to know exactly what Mykelti and her husband, Tony, thought about it. And trust me, their reactions were everything.

But before we dive into Mykelti’s cringe-filled commentary, let’s rewind to the moment that’s setting the fandom on fire: Kody Brown’s interview with Fox 5 New York. During the segment, the interviewer pressed him hard—really hard—about one of the biggest questions fans have been screaming for answers to: Does Kody even talk to his older kids anymore? She asked him straight-up: “Do your kids watch the show?”

Instead of taking the opportunity to acknowledge the children who openly discuss the show, Kody dodged. He cleared his throat, shifted in his seat, and mumbled something about “my oldest son,” claiming he’s seen “things” that indicate the boy watches. And that was it. No mention of Mykelti. No mention of Tony. No mention of the fact that they literally react to Sister Wives online, publicly, consistently, and profitably.

It’s baffling because Mykelti and Tony have been giving in-depth reactions to Sister Wives and even Special Forces—the show Kody participated in—over on their Patreon for months. These two aren’t shy about sharing their opinions, and their followers know they keep things brutally honest. Yet Kody acted like he has no idea. The interviewer practically set up a softball, and he let it drop.

Now, back to the moment fans can’t stop talking about: the make-out scene. In the episode, as Kody is shaving off his mustache, Robyn gushes over him like a teenager, and they launch into a full-on kissing session. It was awkward for many viewers—but especially awkward for Mykelti, who had to watch this moment during a Patreon livestream. Because the clip contained raw footage from the show, she couldn’t replay it publicly, but she described her reaction with plenty of detail.

As soon as the infamous kissing started, Mykelti pulled her hair over her face, covered her eyes, and groaned: “Okay, you guys… I’m just—I’m going to see you after this scene.” The embarrassment, the second-hand cringe, the discomfort—she didn’t downplay any of it. And Tony wasn’t exactly thrilled either.

But the awkward make-out isn’t what led Mykelti into her real commentary. What followed was a harsher, more serious reflection on her family—especially on the way conversations, trust, and communication have collapsed. Mykelti made a pointed observation that what viewers see on TV often feels more like strategic filming than authentic family dialogue. She even said that some conversations seem staged, performed to convince viewers that certain relationships—like Robyn’s comfort with David or Kody’s involvement with his kids—are healthier than they truly are.

Then she delivered the big line: “Everyone needs their own lawyer.”
According to Mykelti, if her parents and Robyn want real clarity and fair negotiations, each of them—Kody, Robyn, Janelle, Meri—should have their own legal representation. She emphasized that mixing loyalties is part of what kept the family dynamic messy for so long. In other words, the polygamous family that always prided itself on unity is now so fractured that the adult children are advising legal buffers to keep things from getting even more toxic.

And she didn’t stop there. Mykelti and Tony continued to voice what many fans have been feeling for years: that there’s a massive disconnect between what Kody claims in interviews and what his kids actually experience. Mykelti reminded her viewers that she had previously told Patreon members that she, Kody, and Robyn had begun communicating more—giving fans hope that some healing was happening. But then, suddenly, Kody publicly pretended she and Tony are virtually nonexistent.

That’s not a small oversight—it’s a dismissal.

The irony? Mykelti and Tony do watch the show, do react to it publicly, and do earn money from doing so. They aren’t passive bystanders—they’re active commentators with large followings. And Kody still didn’t mention them.

This brought Mykelti to another subject fans seem endlessly curious about: Tony’s income.
People constantly speculate whether Tony actually makes a living playing chess. Mykelti didn’t confirm much, but she acknowledged the rumors—yes, Tony teaches chess, and yes, he has some sort of coaching or chess-related job. But she didn’t provide specifics, leaving fans still guessing.

As for her own income? She doesn’t promote Plexus anymore and seems to be shifting toward influencer work, creative content, and Patreon posts. Her following is massive, and followers trust her perspective because they grew up with her. Mykelti is increasingly becoming a social media personality in her own right.

And that leads to the big conversation fans never let go of:
Should the Brown kids get their own show?

Mykelti’s reaction to this topic was clear—she’s open to the idea. And honestly, viewers are too. For years, fans have said they would absolutely tune in to a series centered on the kids—now adults—who grew up in a polygamous household but chose completely different lifestyles. None of them practice polygamy. Their lives are diverse, interesting, and real.

Besides, many fans feel the kids deserve the opportunity. They were filmed throughout their childhoods without receiving the financial benefit their parents did. Giving them a show of their own now could be a way to balance the scales.

As one commenter put it:
“The kids deserve the millions more than Kody ever did.”
And many agree.

Shifting back to the current season, the episode ending at Coyote Pass has sparked its own wave of exhaustion from long-time watchers. Mykelti and fans both have no idea why the family keeps meeting there when the lots are already divided, the sale is underway, and most communication now happens through lawyers. Why gather at the same barren, undeveloped land again and again? It feels repetitive, hollow, and filler—like the producers are dragging a storyline that should have wrapped three seasons ago.

Some viewers joked that “Coyote Pass” should now be called “Hyena Lane,” a nickname that made even Mykelti crack up. The property has become a running joke—practically its own character in the show. But it has worn out its welcome, and fans are desperate to move on.

Still, TLC is promising more drama this Sunday with “The Standoff at Coyote Pass,” though many viewers can’t help but wonder what more can possibly be said or done there.

As all this unfolds, Mykelti and Tony continue to react, comment, and open up in ways that give fans a more accurate, less filtered version of the Brown family saga. Their transparency stands in stark contrast to Kody’s media appearances, leaving watchers torn between what is said on-screen and what is revealed off-camera.

One thing’s for sure:
When Kody and Robyn lock lips for the cameras, the fans may roll their eyes—but Mykelti’s reactions?
Those are the real show.

And as always, she leaves viewers hungry for the next unfiltered spill.

If you’re watching Sister Wives, buckle up. The kids are no longer staying silent—and their voices might just become the most compelling part of the entire
