Since 2010, Sister Wives fans have watched as Janelle Brown has served as the family’s rock. She was always the level-headed one, with a knack for managing the family finances. Kody Brown showed affection toward Janelle, and it was clear he respected her opinion. However, now that the duo is no longer a couple, it seems like a good idea for Janelle to reconsider the idea of a friendship with the father of 18.  

Janelle Brown shares an honest opinion about Kody Brown and Robyn Brown

During the tell-all via ET, Janelle tried to be diplomatic in her answer when asked if she could still be friends with Robyn Brown and Kody. The mother of six first told the host, “Um, well, I could still be friends with Kody. I never really had a relationship with Robyn.” But as the interview went on, she slowly started to change her tune. She added, “I don’t have any hate or hard feelings or anything, I just don’t really want to know them.”

Janelle clarified, “Oh, I could sit and talk to them if it was all superficial. That would be fine. I would talk to them. That’s no big deal.” Janelle doesn’t think a friendship is in the cards, which makes sense to Sister Wives viewers. For years, she was treated as a second-class citizen. The realtor noted, “I don’t need it. I don’t want it. I’m just not going to be buddies with them. Or go to lunch with them.” When asked if there was ever a chance of deep love, Janelle left it all on the table. She shared, “I’m not looking for it. I really just don’t like them. I don’t want to know them. And I just really don’t like them.”    

Janelle Brown wants a clean start

It’s apparent that Janelle is seeking a fresh start. Realistically, there is no reason she would need to interact with Kody or Robyn. The former couple’s shared children are all adults and choose their own interactions with their father. The last time Janelle would have had to interact with Kody, for a while, would probably have been at their son’s funeral. Janelle no longer lives in Flagstaff as she has moved her life to North Carolina to run a farm with her daughter.  

There is nothing to gain by staying stagnant and trying to keep a relationship with Kody. The polygamous patriarch is too deep into his own narrative even to understand how to move forward. He will forever blame his first three wives for leaving him, refusing to take accountability himself. Janelle is already coming to terms with the fact that if she had known Kody better, she might have passed on him. In part one of the tell-all, she noted, “If I had a year with Kody, I’m not sure I would have married him, honestly.” Instead of staying in a toxic situation, Janelle has channeled her anger into propelling herself forward into a new journey, and she hasn’t looked back. 

Robyn Brown and Kody Brown have lied too much

Watching the Sister Wives tell-all became infuriating. Before arriving at filming, Kody asked his favorite wife if she was ready. Robyn simply stated, “I’d rather have a root canal.” If Kody or Robyn were asked a question they didn’t like, they refused to answer. The couple’s behavior actually infuriated TLC viewers who felt like the duo were getting off the hook once again. While the host pushed the other women to answer, Robyn easily sidestepped any question she didn’t feel like answering. 

Robyn then claimed that videos were “disturbing.” But it seems more disturbing that both Kody and Robyn have been able to lie so much. Thankfully, many fans called out the hypocrisy of it all. But for Janelle, the lies have piled up over the years and started to overflow. Now living a new life, Janelle is aware she doesn’t need to deal with their BS anymore, so she is leaving them to it. It’s comforting to know that Janelle won’t waste one more second on the duo. However, it is obvious that Kody and Robyn will be stewing about her decision not to be friends for a long time to come.  

Sister Wives is available to stream on TLC.
