A possible feud might be going on behind the scenes of Sister Wives. Gwendlyn Brown was a no-show at her mom, Christine Brown’s, wedding.
There are many theories out there as to why she didn’t come. But what is the real reason Gwen skipped Christine’s wedding?
From the outside, it seems like Christine Brown and her daughter Gwen have a good relationship. But could there be a secret feud going on behind the scenes that we have no idea about? This is the question a lot of people have been asking themselves ever since Gwen didn’t come to Christine’s wedding late last year.
Christine married her new husband, David Woolley, in October 2023. She told People Magazine that the wedding was everything she never thought she would have.
She was really happy with the whole day, and she didn’t mention her daughter’s absence from the wedding in her interview. Then again, it makes sense that she wouldn’t talk about it if there WAS something going on.
She was obviously really happy about the wedding and wanted to focus on the positives. So she wouldn’t bring up a feud that she might have with her daughter at that time.
It’s not like Christine really enjoys publicly hashing out her disagreements with her own kids. She would definitely want to protect Gwen, even if they weren’t on the best terms at that moment.
Gwen Is not on Good Terms with Her Brother
But there’s still the fact that Gwen didn’t come to Christine’s wedding. The thing is, this was obviously a super important day for Christine.
She finally got to marry the man that she was in love with. She got to have a beautiful white wedding that was all about her and David. This is something she said she has always wanted but didn’t get to have with Kody.
She even said in the interview that one thing that was really important to her was that all of her family and kids were there with her. This is just another reason why it’s so shocking that Gwen just didn’t show up.
It’s even more interesting to look at why she might have chosen to stay home. Some people said that the reason might be Gwen’s disagreements with her brother Paedon.
We all know that Gwen and Paedon have not been on good terms in years. That’s honestly a pretty big understatement.
We don’t know a lot of details about the whole situation. But over the years, it’s been clear from the show that there’s some sort of big problem between Gwen and Paedon, to the point where the two of them couldn’t actually stay alone together. Even Christine was careful about not leaving the two of them alone when they were younger.
A lot of people think that this might be because Paedon had a history of hurting Gwen physically. Now, the only thing we know for sure is that he slapped her one time. He admitted to this in a TikTok Live at one point.
But many people think that the reality is much more severe than that. One reason is that Paedon also said in the Live that Gwen is scared of him physically hurting her.
Gwen and Paedon Can’t Be Alone Together
It also seems like even Christine thought Gwen might not be safe with Paedon. She didn’t want to leave her home alone with him, and we even saw this on the show.
This, of course, doesn’t really give us any details about what exactly the situation is. But it’s clear that whatever was going on was pretty severe.
We know that there’s not really been any resolution since then because whenever Gwen talks about Paedon, she pretty much has only bad things to say. She said on her Patreon once that he’s the only person in her family that she wishes wasn’t alive.
He’s also the only family member, besides herself, who she didn’t invite to her own wedding. This might also have to do with the fact that Paedon has said some very disrespectful things about the LGBTQ+ community in the past. He’s very openly not supportive of queer people, which would most likely become a problem at Gwen’s wedding since she was marrying a woman.
Gwen and her wife, Beatriz Queiroz, got married in July 2023, only months before Christine’s wedding. The thing is, Christine was at Gwen’s wedding. This just makes it look even worse that Gwen didn’t come to Christine’s wedding.
People on Reddit mostly agreed that just because Gwen has a feud with Paedon, that’s not reason enough to just not come to her mom’s wedding. Even if she was scared of him, it’s not like she would have to be alone with him.
Kody May Have Paid Gwen to Improve Their Relationship
Paedon is actually not the only theory about why Gwen didn’t show up to her mom’s big day. There’s also the fact that Christine is obviously estranged from Gwen’s dad, Kody Brown.
That’s her ex-husband, and there’s a lot of bad blood between them. But, it’s not clear where Gwen stands in this whole thing.
In the past, she’s had some things to say about Kody. It has always seemed like she’s more on Christine’s side of things and against Kody.
But people on Reddit pointed out that more recently, she’s not really been saying anything negative about him. This was a change that happened sometime in the months before Christine’s wedding.
Another thing that someone pointed out was that Gwen said at one point that Kody sent her a lot of money for Christmas. She didn’t specifically say how much money, but she was very clearly talking about it being a pretty big amount.
So some people were theorizing that maybe this has something to do with Gwen not showing up at the wedding. Obviously, this is all just theories and speculation.
But people were saying that maybe Gwen made an agreement with Kody that she would stop speaking badly about him in exchange for the money. And maybe that whole thing also somehow led to her not coming to Christine’s wedding.
But honestly, that just seems extremely far-fetched. Kody would really be asking a lot from Gwen if he wanted her not to go to her mom’s wedding.
Gwen Just Didn’t Have time for the Wedding
Even if Kody did ask her not to go, I can’t imagine Gwen would actually agree to that, not if she had no other reason to not show up to her own mom’s wedding. But it actually seems like maybe Gwen did have another reason not to come because she actually addressed the whole thing on her Patreon.
She explained the reason why she didn’t show up to Christine’s wedding, and the reason she gave is actually very simple. She said that she just didn’t have the time because there was a lot going on in her life at that point.
For one, she explained that she and Beatriz had just moved into a new house, and there were a lot of things to sort out. Plus, she was apparently also really busy with her Organic Chemistry degree at the time. With those two things, she just didn’t have the time to make it to Christine’s wedding.
A lot of people on Reddit were criticizing her, saying that being busy is no excuse for not being there on her mom’s big day. But some people pointed out that for one, it probably wouldn’t just mean making time on the day. Gwen would have to first travel to Utah, probably at least the day before, and then she would also have to stay over after the wedding before traveling all the way back.
It might be that she just didn’t have the three days that she would have needed for the wedding. At the end of the day, it doesn’t have to be that much of a big deal that Gwen wasn’t at Christine’s wedding. Sure, Christine would have probably wanted her there, but she could also understand it if Gwen just didn’t have the time.
That’s exactly what Gwen said on her Patreon as well. She said that Christine understood why she couldn’t come and had no problem with it.
So at the end of the day, it seems like there’s really no drama going on between Gwen and Christine, at least according to what Gwen said about it.
