Janelle Brown, one of the main characters on the reality TV show Sister Wives, has revealed her struggles with her marriage and accused her husband, Kody Brown, of frequently becoming extremely angry. Season 18 of the show premiered in August 2023 and follows the polygamous family as they navigate issues with separation and divorce. In a recent episode, Christine visited the Brown family in Arizona and reconnected with her ex-husband but expressed mixed feelings about the encounter. Meanwhile, Janelle is considering divorcing Kody so that she can have more independence, inspired by her friend Christine’s example.

In a recently released preview clip for season 18 of Sister Wives, Janelle confides in Christine about her current relationship status with Kody. She expresses concern over the fact that their children are leaving and they don’t have much in common anymore. Janelle also mentions that Kody is becoming angrier and more rigid in his thinking towards her. While she has no intention of getting divorced or walking away, Janelle feels like she has no other options and doesn’t know what to do. Christine sympathizes with her friend and expresses her condolences. It seems that Janelle is struggling with her relationship and doesn’t really know who Kody is anymore.

Janelle expresses her confusion and disappointment with Kody’s current demeanor, and questions whether their relationship is worth the effort. In a preview clip, she has a moment of clarity where she realizes that her discomfort stems from her husband’s behavior. While things are normal with Christine and her children, Janelle suggests that the same cannot be said for her relationship with Kody, Robyn, and Meri. Over the years, viewers have witnessed Kody’s transformation, and it’s refreshing to see Janelle come to terms with it and reevaluate her relationship. At 54, Janelle is a grandmother who deserves a happy and peaceful life with a supportive partner. Despite her efforts to keep things together, she has never been shown the same respect. Kody’s focus on Robyn made Janelle question her place in the plural marriage. With the Brown family in a “civil war” situation, it’s evident that Kody is struggling with being polygamous. He should consider settling down with Robyn and letting go of his first three wives, rather than blaming them for wanting to leave. For Kody to have a chance at a happy ending, he must give up on his broken relationships and forgive Christine, Meri, and Janelle.
