Kody Brown's ‘Special Forces' Gig Sparks Negative Buzz About ‘Sister Wives' Future
Kody Brown's 'Special Forces' Gig Sparks Negative Buzz About 'Sister Wives' Future originally appeared on Parade. Sister Wives fans are questioning the series' future as Kody Brown joins Season 4 of FOX's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. TLC has confirmed that Season 20 of the long-running reality series has already been filmed, but Kody's leap to a new TV competition has viewers wondering if this marks the end of Sister Wives. On August 8, Kody shared an Instagram message with details of his new role on the demanding celebrity competition series. He posted a reel from the upcoming season, with an accompanying caption that read, "This was the most exciting experience of an age! Tune in and watch me and my peers suffer! Wanna see me cry? No…like full-on sobbing!" This rare social media post surprised many Sister Wives fans, who believed Kody was still contractually obligated to TLC and therefore, would be unable to film for another network. This led to online chatter about the show's future. On Reddit, fans speculated about why Kody would join another reality show if Sister Wives was still filming. They shared their theories in a thread about the new series.

That's what this is. He'll be doing the D-grade celebrity reality show circuit now. Get excited," deduced one follower. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alice Goldstein (@agelventertainment) "I can't wait until the Marriage Boot Camp phase of their career," a second follower penned. A third joked, "Next up, 90 Day Fiancé to find Robyn a new sister wife!" Finally, a fourth fan wrote, "Could you imagine him on Celebrity Big Brother? He would annoy the crap out of everyone in the house." Special Forces Season 4 was filmed in Morocco. Per the season's description, 'All recruits must learn the art of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as they are faced with training challenges across the country's expansive desert terrain, including a supply search in an abandoned village where they must race to extraction, a treacherous rat-run through dark and narrow tunnels, a plane shell dunk drill where pairs of recruits will be submerged underwater and must escape, a death-defying urban ladder crossing between buildings 50 ft above the urban streets, and much more.' The reality series subjects celebrities to grueling challenges faced by real U.S. Special Forces candidates. Although the series has no formal eliminations, contestants can choose to hand in their armband and exit the competition at any time. Kody will compete against RHONJ star Teresa Giudice and her daughter Gia Giudice; RHOA star Eva Marcille, The Valley's Brittany Cartwright, and actor Jussie Smollett. Also competing are Eric Decker and wife Jessie James Decker, podcaster Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia, Mark Estes, Olympian Shawn Johnson and her husband Andrew East, model Chanel Iman, actor Ravi V.

From TLC to TikTok, Kate Gosselin appears to be entering her 'dog mom era'
"There's going to be a lot of dogs on it and kids, but mostly dogs and me," Gosselin said in one of her videos. Kate Gosselin has made her way to TikTok. The 50-year-old reality star, known for her TLC series "Jon & Kate Plus 8," appeared to post her first video to TikTok on July 13. The TikTok account has about 109,000 followers, as of Aug. 7, but remains unverified, which has confused some fans about its legitimacy. Gosselin posted a video on July 28 to clarify that the account is real and she is awaiting verification from TikTok. "There's going to be a lot of dogs on it and kids, but mostly dogs and me," Gosselin said in the video, which had more than 2.6 million views, as of Aug. 7. "I'm in my German Shepherd dog mom era. Is that how they say it? You know what I mean." The bulk of videos on the account feature one, or both, of Gosselin's German shepherds, Nanuq and Meika. Gosselin has also posted throwback photos of her children from their TLC days and clips giving a peek into her everyday life, like her morning routine and how she makes her protein shakes. USA TODAY was unable to get in contact with Gosselin's representatives for comment. What is the internet saying? TikTok users appear divided on Gosselin posting on the platform. Some old fans of the TLC series are excited to see her back on screen. "Nostalgia has officially hit my feed this week, and I am here for it! Excited to follow along Kate," a TikTok user commented on one of Gosselin's videos. Some, on the other hand, have mentioned the allegations that Gosselin's son, Collin Gosselin, brought against his mother last year. In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun last year, Collin alleged that his mother was "physically aggressive" and "verbally very abusive" toward him as a child. He also claimed that his mother would zip-tie him and lock him inside a room in the family's basement for days at a time. Collin's father, Jon Gosselin, backed up these claims. Jon and Kate divorced in 2009. In an Instagram statement made last year, Kate said that after "multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years," Collin had been admitted to a facility for the family's safety. "Does it not hurt you to post (Collin) knowing you don't talk to him?" one TikTok user commented, noting a desire for the two to reconcile. "I know you say there is more to the story, but I can't imagine what it is to make you completely cut a child off for good. Even a few words over the phone goes a long way." Richard Puleo, a lawyer who represented Kate, told The Sun she never did anything to "intentionally harm" Collin and did "whatever she did to protect herself and her family from some of his troubled behavior as a child." What has Kate Gosselin been up to since TLC? "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which later became "Kate Plus 8" after the divorce, aired for 11 seasons, concluding in 2017. In 2019, TLC aired a single season of "Kate Plus Date," a reality series in which Kate gets help from professional matchmakers to go on dates with 10 bachelors. How old are the Gosselin children now? As of Aug. 7, Madelyn "Mady" and Cara Gosselin, Kate's eldest daughters, are 24 years old and the sextuplets, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel, are 21.
