Sister Wives star Kody Brown has introduced many friends throughout the show. Some of them are his childhood friends, while others are his co-polygamist people. However, one of them was recently arrested for domestic violence. Keep reading to see who it was.
Sister Wives: Who Is Kody Brown’s Friend Nathanael Richard?
Kody’s friend Nathanael appeared in the 7th season of Sister Wives. He was introduced as another polygamist who had two wives, Rebecca Richard, and Christina Buning. Rebecca is his legal wife, which is similar to Kody and Robyn’s marriage now. However, it was reported that he separated from his wives and divorced Rebecca in 2022.
According to an insider, men in the polygamist circle are starting to see a “pattern” in which the women mock their husbands, similar to what Kody’s ex-wives did to him. The source also points fingers at the reality show for showing the negative side of polygamy instead of promoting it.
Kody’s Friend Nathanael Arrested For Domestic Violence
Some Redditors react to the recent arrest of Nathanael Richard. The former Sister Wives star was charged with 3rd-degree domestic assault. He was reportedly arrested on December 12th but has already posted a bond. The OP also showed Nathanael’s mugshot, wearing a plain grey shirt. It’s unclear who the victim of his crimes was. Nathanael has nine kids, all of whom are from his first wife. But unlike the Browns, the Richard family is more discreet about their lives.
- “They road-tripped to see his fam. They all have to look each other in the eye as they take their first bite of a meal (which I always thought was the Dargers, but was reminded in this sub recently that it was this guy).”
- “This guy also treated his family like they were in the military. And he and Kody bonded over being fellow gun nuts. He gave me the ick. This doesn’t surprise me about that guy in the least.”
- “This guy was particularly grimy. He took on another wife bc “God told him to” and his wife agreed, kicking and screaming. He already knew which woman he wanted to wife & the wife claimed God told her who the woman was after praying.”
- “These men are always so gross and having multiple wives just gives them a big ego and an excuse to act horrible all the time.”
Sister Wives: The Richards’ Screentime From Season 7
Meri Brown expressed sympathy for Nathanael’s second wife, Christina, for going through infertility struggles. Rebecca and Christina only had a few minutes of screen time from the show. Fans may remember the Brown family paying a visit to the Richards during Season 7. Nathanael showed how his wife baked for him and complained about how he couldn’t cuddle with one of his wives while she was baking. The Richards also revealed that they don’t use the term Sister Wives. Instead, they like to call their group as “BFF.”
Kody Brown had a close relationship with the polygamist family. He even ended up inviting them over to his RV park. Unfortunately, the Richards were never seen again, and many people believe they stopped filming after Nathanael began to struggle with his wives.
