Fans of Sister Wives are buzzing with outrage once again—and this time, the backlash is aimed squarely at the Brown family’s public behavior that has left viewers disgusted. As excitement builds for the premiere of Sister Wives Season 20—reportedly set to air this September—diehard followers aren’t holding back in slamming the family for their appalling conduct during past outings, particularly an incident that resurfaced involving a restaurant visit that’s raising eyebrows all over social media.

While TLC has yet to confirm the official return date, fans have already started revisiting earlier seasons to get their fix—and in doing so, a Reddit thread went viral as viewers recalled an unsettling scene from Season 7. During a road trip in an RV, the Brown family stopped at a restaurant to celebrate Truely’s birthday. But rather than behaving considerately in public, the family openly admitted they chose the restaurant so they wouldn’t have to deal with the mess of cleanup. What shocked fans most wasn’t just the party—it was the blatant disregard they had for the restaurant staff. They left birthday cake and trash scattered across the table, chairs, and floor—then laughed about how glad they were that someone else had to deal with it.

Former servers and restaurant employees jumped into the conversation online, calling the Brown family’s actions “disrespectful,” “entitled,” and “just plain nasty.” Viewers were quick to call out the family’s lack of basic courtesy, especially considering how many of them were parents themselves. Many commenters shared that even with toddlers in tow, they always make the effort to clean up after their children—something they felt the Browns should have done without question.

One Reddit user who used to work as a server chimed in with a harsh reality: even though cleaning up after customers is part of the job, there’s a difference between leaving a normal mess and intentionally making someone else’s job harder. “I’ve served big families with small kids,” one user said, “but at least most parents make an effort to pick up after themselves. What the Browns did was the opposite of respectful.”

Others pointed out the family’s recurring lack of awareness and social grace, referencing how even back in the early seasons, their homes were chaotic, with children writing on walls and causing destruction that they never seemed to discipline. “They were writing on the walls in the Lehi house,” a longtime viewer pointed out. “They seemed proud of it. No boundaries, no respect for the homes they lived in or the places they visited.”

This discussion quickly spun into a wider debate on parenting and social etiquette, with many viewers comparing their own parenting styles. “My toddler makes a mess every time we go out to eat,” another commenter said, “but I still clean up what I can and tip extra. That’s just part of being a decent human.” Others shared horror stories about their own experiences as servers, emphasizing that while the job includes cleaning, common courtesy still goes a long way—and the Brown family clearly missed that memo.

What’s worse? Many viewers believe the Browns’ behavior reflects a larger issue of entitlement and selfishness that’s been apparent since Season 1. “They’re selfish pigs,” one angry fan posted. “They’ve always acted like the world revolves around them, and this just proves it.”

And it’s not just about the restaurant mess. Many are connecting the dots to how the family has behaved in multiple public situations. One fan, who identified herself as Southern and proud, launched into a fiery rant about public hygiene and decency, venting about people who don’t wear deodorant or clean up after themselves, linking it back to the Browns’ public conduct. “If you’re gonna be in public, have some respect,” she said. “Wash your behind, wear deodorant, and don’t treat workers like they’re beneath you.”

The outrage reached new levels when fans began speculating that the family probably didn’t leave a decent tip—if they tipped at all. “You just know they didn’t tip,” one person wrote. “Leaving a disaster behind and probably stiffing the server? That’s low.”

While some defended the family by arguing they had kids and that messes are inevitable, the overwhelming majority weren’t buying it. “You can have kids and still act like adults,” a fan responded. “Having a large family doesn’t give you a free pass to trash someone else’s workplace.”

Even those who once sympathized with the Browns now say they’re seeing their behavior in a new light. “I used to think they were trying their best,” another viewer admitted, “but honestly, I think they just don’t care how they treat other people. That’s not a parenting style—it’s selfishness.”

It’s moments like this that continue to divide the Sister Wives fanbase. As anticipation builds for Season 20, longtime fans are already on edge wondering if the Browns will finally face real accountability for their actions—or if the show will continue to gloss over their worst behavior in favor of manufactured drama.

Still, viewers are hopeful that the new season will pull back the curtain a little more. With many of Kody’s relationships crumbling in recent seasons, and the wives stepping into more independent lives, some fans believe this might be the perfect time to explore these underlying behavioral patterns that have long irritated viewers.

In the meantime, social media continues to erupt with heated conversations over the Browns’ apparent disregard for basic social norms. Whether it’s leaving behind mountains of cake and crumbs or letting their kids run wild, fans aren’t holding back.

One commenter summarized the mood perfectly: “They’ve been acting like guests in someone else’s world for years—and they keep trashing the place.”

Will TLC finally address this growing wave of criticism in the new season? Or will Sister Wives continue to turn a blind eye? One thing’s for sure—the public isn’t staying silent anymore.

Stay tuned for more updates and spoiler-filled drama as we count down to the return of Sister Wives Season 20.

Spoiler recap: Fans are livid after an old Sister Wives scene resurfaced, showing the Brown family deliberately leaving a mess in a restaurant during a child’s birthday celebration. Viewers slammed them for treating public spaces and service workers with disrespect. Accusations of selfishness and entitlement reignite discussions about the family’s long history of questionable behavior, as many hope Season 20 holds them more accountable.
