Sister Wives’ Madison Brush Slams Estranged Dad Kody Brown’s “Lies”
Madison Brush is protecting her peace.
The Sister Wives star shared insight into her relationship with her estranged dad Kody Brown after sharing an inspirational quote on social media about deciding what is “worth your energy.”
When a follower replied to Madison, 29, saying they “lack this skill,” she shared a screenshot of her DM response on her Instagram Stories Oct. 10, which read, “Your dad saying lies about you for the entire world to hear teaches it to you REAL QUICK.”
In a subsequent IG Stories post, the reality star responded to an anonymous question wondering whether she had sought “professional therapy” to work through her complex relationship with her father.
“Yes. I see a professional therapist on and off,” she wrote. “I have benefited a lot from this. I think anyone [who] comes from complex family dynamics could benefit from it.”
Madison—who shares kids Axel, 8, Evie, 6, Josephine, 2, and Emilia, 6 months, with husband Caleb Brush—recently detailed her yearlong estrangement from Kody, 56, on the TLC series, becoming emotional as she reflected on the distance between them.
“You want your dad to show up,” she said through tears during the show’s Sept. 28 episode. “You want reconciliation. I know I played a part and I’m angry because I’m still trying to learn to not be disappointed.”
But as Madison navigates her feelings, she made it clear she has empathy for her dad as well.

As for Kody, the father of 18 recently shared his take on the strained dynamic between himself and many of his kids.
“I think most of the relationships between me and my adult children are strained,” he acknowledged on the Oct. 5 episode of Sister Wives. “It’s an issue of trash talk and innuendo, and it has challenged loyalties and trust on all sides.”
