Sister Wives’ Leon Brown Calls Childhood Upbringing a “Cult”

Leon Brown is getting candid about their childhood in a “family of four parents.”

The Sister Wives alum—whose dad Kody Brown was spiritually married to mom Meri Brown, as well as Janelle Brown and Christine Brown Woolley, when they were born in 1995—detailed their unconventional upbringing in a polygamist household.

“We were in the cult then,” Leon said in an Aug. 4 TikTok video. “We were homeschooled until we moved to Utah when I was 10, and then we started going to the same church—cult church—which was sort of like the main one.”

According to the 31-year-old—the third oldest of Kody’s 18 kids, including five from Kody’s marriage to fourth sister wife Robyn Brown—religion “got a little all encompassing” when they started attending the church’s school.

“On Thursdays, we had primary, which is like religious education for children—or religious indoctrination for children,” they continued. “There’s some religious, like, scrupulosity there. It was rewarding, and I was rewarded for it.”
