Mykelti Says She & Some of the Other Kids Have Considered Writing a Book About Their Lives
Another Sister Wives book could be on the horizon.
Fans of the TLC reality show got a behind the scenes look at how Kody Brown built his family when he and his then-four wives released their 2013 “tell-all” book, Becoming Sister Wives. However, a lot has happened in the 11 years since that book’s release— three divorces, estrangements and plenty of drama–and, according to Kody’s daughter Mykelti, some of the younger Browns have tossed around the idea of writing their own book.
During a recent Live Stream on YouTube with her husband Tony Padron, Mykelti revealed that she and some of her siblings have thought about writing a book, either together or separately.
“We actually have considered writing a book,” Mykelti said, later adding that she got tired of waiting on her brothers and sisters to start the book-writing process. “I think I honestly gave up waiting to write a book [with my siblings] and that’s one of the reasons we did Patreon.”
Mykelti– who is the fifth child of 18 born to Kody– stated the book idea is still on the table, though.
“I do still think some of my siblings debate back and forth about writing a book,” Mykelti said. “As far as I know, [none of my siblings] are currently actively writing a book. But I do think several of my siblings like the idea.”
Mykelti also stated that she has considered taking on the project solo.
“I think my literacy skills are strong enough, but I definitely would hire an editor, hardcore hire an editor, and maybe even like a publicity person to help me with my word tracks, since I tend to ramble,” she said.
“I currently am not writing a book, but I do think the idea of it is extremely intriguing,” she said.
Mykelti went on to reveal that, because she and Tony aren’t currently under contract for the show, she would be legally allowed to write a book. However, she stated that she is concerned that what she would expose in the book would anger a lot of people.
“I feel like I’d get in so much trouble though if I wrote a book,” she continued. “Because if I wrote a book, I would not hold back. I feel like I hold back on Patreon… but if ‘Sister Wives’ was over, we wouldn’t be in trouble for releasing knowledge.”
“But we could burn bridges we don’t want to burn,” Tony added.
Mykelti may not be the only ‘Sister Wives’ star who is playing with the idea of writing a tell-all book. Back in December 2022, Kody first wife, Meri Brown, teased that she could be putting her story in book form when she posted a photo of herself holding a book, along with the message, “There’s so much more to the story… -Meri Brown.”
The Instagram post’s caption cryptically hinted that a book may be coming.
“Not all is always as it seems,” it read. “Often, we accept a version of a story as truth because it fits the narrative we’ve created, or what we want to believe. It’s not always about what you’re looking at but also where you’re looking from. Everyone has their own experiences and their own truths.
“Remember, no matter how flat the pancake is, it always has two sides.”
As of press time, though, Meri has not confirmed or denied that she’s planning to spill ‘Sister Wives’ secrets in a book.
