It’s a scandal like no other — new revelations have confirmed that Kody Brown’s intentions with Robyn were far from pure. Many insiders are now saying Kody married Robyn largely because of her financial security, not love. Robyn, who came into the marriage with significant financial advantages, seemed like an easy ticket for Kody to stabilize his dwindling empire. Fans and even some family members now believe that Kody’s pursuit of Robyn was motivated by money more than anything else.
Janelle Brown, who spiritually married Kody back in 1993, is finally ready to make a clean break. For years, she stayed quietly committed, even though their relationship was never legally recognized. However, after years of emotional distance, worsened by the pandemic’s chaos, Janelle made the brave decision to separate from Kody officially in 2022. Although they shared six children and many memories, Janelle finally realized she needed more for herself.
In an emotional upcoming Sister Wives episode, Janelle confides in Meri Brown about her plans to seek a spiritual divorce. Initially hesitant, Janelle admits she hadn’t considered a spiritual separation because she was no longer actively involved with the LDS church. But watching Meri take similar steps inspired her to reclaim her independence fully. Janelle’s decision isn’t just about leaving Kody physically — it’s about severing the deep spiritual bond that once tied them together.
For years, Janelle accepted her role in Kody’s polygamous lifestyle without jealousy, even when Kody lavished attention on Robyn and her kids. But when Kody enforced harsh pandemic rules and demanded Janelle kick their sons out of the house, it became a breaking point. Refusing to betray her children, Janelle chose them over Kody — a decision she now knows was the right one.
Kody’s behavior toward Janelle changed dramatically once Robyn entered the picture. He accused Janelle of being less loyal than Robyn, further isolating her emotionally. As Kody prioritized Robyn’s children over his other families, the cracks widened. Janelle eventually realized their relationship was beyond repair.
Still committed to her faith’s teachings, Janelle feels that ending her spiritual marriage aligns with LDS principles. While she’s no longer a regular churchgoer, her spiritual beliefs remain important to her personal journey. She’s not just separating from Kody — she’s severing the mental and emotional chains that kept her tied to an unfulfilling marriage.
As of now, Janelle has no interest in continuing polygamy. She’s open to a future with a monogamous partner but, more importantly, is focusing on living a full, independent life. Janelle’s courage to walk away shows fans that sometimes you have to choose yourself, even if it means going against everything you once believed in.
Even after their separation, Kody continues to make ridiculous claims. In a recent episode, he accused Janelle of using him “like a piece of meat” — comments that had fans rolling their eyes. It’s clear to everyone that Kody’s behavior has become more and more absurd as his control over the family slips away.
Meanwhile, back when Robyn joined the family, she and her daughters hoped to be embraced warmly. However, according to Brianna, Robyn’s daughter, the integration never really happened. Despite Christine’s efforts to welcome Robyn’s children into the fold, tensions lingered under the surface. Janelle herself remembers trying to foster unity, but the divides only grew wider, especially as Kody’s favoritism toward Robyn became more blatant.
Janelle also pointed out that when the family moved to Flagstaff, the gap between Kody and his other wives became even more obvious. He spent less and less time at her house, giving endless excuses, preferring to stay with Robyn. Janelle noted, with growing frustration, how her kids were even scolded for simple things like opening Robyn’s fridge — a clear sign of how divided the family had become.
As for Robyn, she played the victim, claiming that she and her kids were unfairly treated. But Gabriel, Janelle’s son, wasn’t buying it. He bluntly stated that Robyn had a “victim complex” and that despite their efforts, she always seemed to find ways to make herself the center of sympathy. 
Even young Ariela, Kody and Robyn’s daughter, struggled with the polygamous lifestyle. Kody recounted heartbreaking moments when Ariela would cling to his leg, begging him not to leave to visit his other families. While Kody framed this as a sad side effect of polygamy, Janelle wasn’t so forgiving. She criticized Kody’s parenting, saying that while her children learned to adapt and mature through the challenges, Robyn’s kids were treated with kid gloves — a mistake that only deepened family divisions.
In the wake of Kody’s crumbling marriages, only a few of his adult children still maintain close relationships with him. Most have distanced themselves, just as Janelle has decided to do.
Now that the case involving the family’s internal disputes has officially ended, Robyn has been effectively pushed out, and Janelle is stepping into a courtroom battle of her own, fighting for her children and her future.
Will Janelle finally be free to live the life she deserves? Or will old ties pull her back? One thing’s certain: Kody’s empire is falling apart — and he has no one to blame but himself.
