Paedon Brownis sharing his thoughts aboutMeri Brownin the wake of her split from his father,Kody Brown.
Appearing on aYouTube Live with John Yateson Wednesday,Christine Brown’s 24-year-old son spoke about Meri after a commenter remarked she seemed “abrasive and kind of mean.”
“Abrasive and kind of mean are not strong enough words, they are not aggressive enough words,” Paedon said. “Meri was not nice… Abrasive is not enough of a word to explain what Meri was to a few of us children specifically.”
PEOPLE reached out to both Kody and Meri for comment.
Paedon also pointed to sister Maddie Brown — the 27-year-old daughter of Kody andJanelle Brown— who had made similar vague allegations during a 2019 Twitter feud that led to her deleting the account after suggesting Meri was “abusive” and a “monster.”

“I can reiterate what Madison said about Meri,” Paedon said. “No, we were never safe around her.”

Paedon declined to go into further comment because the show is “still a financial option for my parents, for all five of my parents and many of my siblings, so I’m not going to do anything that would hurt the show,” but suggested he would say more when the show eventually comes to an end.
When asked if Kody was ever abusive, Paedon insisted that was not the case, but did say that “sometime between [when I was] 12 and 15, he stopped being safe.”
As for his current relationship with Kody, Paedon said he last heard from his dad in a “Christmas text,” and later added, “Full disclosure, I’m still hoping to get my father back.”

He then went on to allege that Kody tried to collaborate with TLC on contract clauses that would prohibit anyone from saying “anything negative about him on our platforms.”
Paedon said he first heard about it from his mom, Christine, who argued with him over it and allegedly told Kody, “you can’t control our children.”
