Janelle Brown has been faced with the harsh reality of her future without her “spiritual” husband, Kody Brown, after a heated argument that led to their separation.
The former couple’s growing problems came to a boiling point in Sunday’s episode of the TLC reality series Sister Wives, which documents life as a polygamous family and their 18 children.
The show’s 18th season was filmed in the fall of 2022, just before Kody separated from three of his four wives — Meri, Janelle, and Christine — over a 14-month period.
On the show’s final installment, titled Throw stones at the glass housesKody and Janelle, both 54, had an explosive argument while discussing their plans for Christmas.
Janelle Brown, 54, had to face the reality of her financial future following her split from Kody Brown on Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives.
The latest episode of the TLC reality show documented the fight that led to their split last year.
They accused each other of ‘gaslighting’ as they argued her estrangement from their sons – Gabriel, 21, and Garrison, 25 – because of his COVID restrictions.
“You always pass the buck to me,” Janelle growled.
“That’s because it belongs to you, Janelle,” Kody replied. “Because you didn’t support my position when it came to actually doing the COVID stuff.”
The patriarch introduced a strict set of rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the pandemic, which only amplified his family’s problems.
Janelle was forced to choose between her husband and their adult sons, who continued their social lives and ignored their father’s COVID protocol.
“Kody, I was protecting my kids,” insisted Janelle, who is also mom to Logan, 29, Maddie, 27, Hunter, 22, and Savanah, 18.
“And you said, ‘Choose your loyalties or you won’t have a husband. “So I’m supposed to choose between you and our kids? That’s what you basically said.
Kody argued that all Janelle had to do was support her rules, asking, “Do you understand that parents are supposed to make a united front?
He accused her of “turning him on” and “throwing me under the bus,” but she maintained that was what he did to her.

Kody wondered if they had “ever made a team” and called it “bullshit” when she used the “excuse” that he wasn’t always there for their kids.
As their argument escalated, Kody continued to blame Janelle for the rift between him and their sons, and she felt she couldn’t say a word.
“Shut the fuck up and let me talk to you for a second,” she told him.
An outraged Kody stood up and prepared to leave, insisting their relationship was over and could not be saved.
“There is no point in understanding each other here. There is no point in understanding. There is only bitterness that has no place,” he said.
“I no longer expect you to support me. I’m not going to look for it. I’m not going to ask. I don’t expect you to try to help us co-parent the kids. It’s too late. We will never do that.
“So what partnership do we have? He asked.
Janelle grabbed his jacket in an attempt to get him to stay and talk, but he refused and stormed off.

Janelle said that after Kody stormed off, she kicked him out for good. She noted that she didn’t want to see him, but she soon realized the implications of their separation.

“Fuck you,” she said just before he slammed the door.
The mother-of-six told the film crew to “turn it off”, but then went on to detail the aftermath of their argument and how it affected her financially.
“We were blaming each other for what was going on and it was shocking. Like, that was shocking. I was really upset when he left because, like, there’s a finality and now I’m worried about what’s happening to me,” she explained.
“In the future, do I live here? Am I building? I feel like Kody and I are not going to be a couple anymore. It really is. It was so dramatic. There had been so much preparation and then not so many words. Yes, the words were very harsh, but the simple feeling was like, “We’re done. »
Janelle said that after he left, she called him and told him to get his stuff. She noted that she didn’t want to see Kody after kicking him out of the house, but she soon realized the implications of their separation.
“So after I got over the shock after Kody left, I was like, ‘Oh my God. Like, I don’t have anything financially. ‘I’m tied to this property, everything related to my estate,’ she explained, referring to the Coyote Pass homestead in Flagstaff, Arizona.
“All kinds of savings, money, everything is tied to this property. I’m a smart woman and I did this very stupid thing.
“I had faith in that family structure, but now I’m really stuck,” Janelle admitted. ‘And I’m like, ‘Oh my God. I am 50 years old and I have nothing.
