Yet, he called Gabe on his birthday and apparently forgot that it was his birthday.

Janelle responded in a confessional on the show.

“This is the most hilarious thing to me; he’s threatened this before,” she said.

“I’m like, ‘Dude, you’re not even on the lease.

I’m on the lease.'”

Viewers noted that he shut down intimacy with Christine to punish her for not acting the way he wanted.

Similarly, when Gabe didn’t do what Kody wanted, fans speculated that Kody was punishing him.

Kody was always big on birthdays, even tweeting, “We have always made birthdays a big deal.

Maybe even an overindulgence in some opinions.

But I defend big deal birthday as homage and celebration of each family member.

It’s important,” as perThe U.S. Sun.

Fans tweeted how bad they felt for Gabe.

One commented, “And this right here is why Gabe was devastated when he forgot his birthday.

Another fan wrote, “That makes it worse!

My heart broke for Gabe.”

“That’s the last time I ever talked to my dad.”
