The TLC star ended Meri’s stop of his ‘apology tour’ by sprinting to the bathroom.
Sister Wives star Kody Brown literally ran away from his ex-wife, Meri Brown, and toward a bathroom—leaving fans cracking up.
On the Sunday, Dec. 28 episode of the TLC series, Kody visited Meri, his first wife, on his “apology tour” after speaking with second wife, Janelle Brown, and his third wife, Christine Brown. (He is now only married to his fourth wife, Robyn Brown.)
After wrapping up their conversation and standing up from the picnic table, Kody told Meri, “I’m actually going to run because now that I stood up, I have to…” before trailing off.
“I hope it doesn’t leak,” Meri joked, of his potentially having an accident.
After laughing, Kody insisted, “I’m not that old!”
“I beg to differ,” Meri replied, as her ex-husband took off sprinting to a nearby bathroom. “I know your birthday.” The camera crew then lingered on Kody running away, his odd posture front and center as he hurried to relieve himself.
Sister Wives viewers definitely took notice of the awkward moment. In one Reddit thread, one fan declared, “The best part is Meri holding up her hand at the end like, ‘WTF?? How was I ever with this man child.’”
“Real life Michael Scott,” another shared, referencing Steve Carrell’s character from The Office, as a third wrote, “I will forever love this scene😂😂😂.”
Meanwhile, yet another Redditor pointed out, “The part after the shrug was even better. They could have cut it at the shrug, but continued to show him bow leggedly skipping his way to the potty.”
In another Reddit thread, one viewer confessed, “I have no words other than it was sooo strange and so cringe.”
A second wrote, “I honestly laughed out loud. He’s beyond strange.”
