Leon Brown Says They Will Tell How They ‘Grew Up in a Cult’ While Insisting on Strict Privacy

A public request for privacy signals Leon’s plan to share a personal account on their own timeline.

Overview

  • Leon posted on Thursday that they “grew up in a cult and on TV since I was 14” and said they will share their story but has not announced when or in what format.
  • They set firm boundaries in follow-up posts, saying no one is entitled to their story or time and asking fans not to approach them in public.
  • Leon said they will speak only about their own experiences and will not discuss siblings, though they may address how Garrison Brown’s death affected them.
  • Coverage of the posts noted mixed fan reactions, with some praising the privacy request and others calling the tone offputting.
  • The situation raises broader questions about children filmed on long-running reality shows, consent and the long-term effects of growing up on TV, topics that have followed the Brown family since Sister Wives began in 2010.
