Done with the drama? Sister Wives star Janelle Brown got real about her feelings toward Robyn Brown — and why she is over her meddling on behalf of estranged husband Kody Brown.
“I get so tired of ‘counselor Robyn,’” Janelle says in Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of part 3 of Sister Wives: One-on-One special, which airs on Sunday, January 8. “[She says] like, ‘Oh yeah, your pain. Your pain.’”
The Utah native explains that Kody, meanwhile, “acts like he’s the only person who’s been rejected” since fellow sister wife Christine Brown left him and the family in 2021.
“This whole thing with Christine has been coming for a long time and he acts so surprised by it,” Janelle tells host Sukanya Krishnan. “So, I’m just a little bit like, ‘OK. Alright.’”
The Strive With Janelle founder — who shares children Logan, 28, Maddie, 27, Hunter, 25, Garrison, 24, Gabriel, 21, and Savanah, 18, with Kody, 53 — notes that Robyn, 43, trying to play peacemaker has become part of the problem, especially because she usually takes the Wyoming native’s side.
“It just feels like she’s placating him,” Janelle confesses.
The mother of six points out that “there was rejection” on all sides ahead of her split from Kody. (Janelle confirmed in December 2022 that she had been “separated for months” from her former spouse.)
“My boys felt just as rejected by this,” Janelle says in the clip, referring to the fallout between sons Garrison and Gabriel with their father, which began after Kody implemented his COVID-19 rules on the family.
The Becoming Sister Wives coauthor recalls her estranged husband making it clear that it was their boys’ responsibility to mend fences — despite playing a part in their feud.
“The first ultimatum was that they would apologize to him
