Kody Brown is accustomed to his spouses turning on him. Watchers of Sister Wives have seen Kody struggle to understand each spouse’s personality over the years, and it hasn’t always been easy. Like the cheese, Kody was frequently by himself as his four women bonded or quarreled. The new season reveals that he may not have meant what he said when he said he wanted his lovers to have a tight sister-wife connection.
Janelle Brown and Christine Brown appeared to have a stronger bond than any other member of the family. A unique event was shared by the three first wives, including Meri Brown, long before Robyn Brown became involved. Their joint home in Lehi, Utah, was something most people could only dream of. These life experiences have brought Christine and Janelle closer than before, creating a lifelong friendship between them. Kody’s only goal in ruining something nice for himself is to feel better.
Janelle and Christine Have a Strong Bond
More often than not, Janelle and Christine are attached at the hip. Before the family fell apart, Kody’s second and third wives often banded together during family meetings. Both seemed to respect each other and their spot within the hierarchy. Janelle was always thankful that Christine had stayed home to help raise the children while she earned a paycheck and often sided with Christine during arguments.
Now that Christine is gone, the two have grown even closer, even though they are still five hours apart. Instead of Janelle spending the holidays with Kody, she has managed to make plans for Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving, all with Kody’s ex. Janelle and Christine have become the best of friends, which has warmed viewers’ hearts and soured Kody’s, who can’t help but feel they are plotting against him.
Kody Is Jealous of Christine and Janelle’s Friendship
During a recent episode of Sister Wives, Kody confessed that he felt Christine and Janelle’s friendship was “pathetic.” The comments say a lot about the patriarch who hasn’t been willing to bend in the wind when it came to the family drama. Most would argue he drove his wives away with his grumpy and controlling attitude.
In a confessional, Kody revealed, “Christine has so much influence over Janelle. I just think it’s pathetic, so I don’t want to say anything to Janelle because I’m afraid Christine will find out about it, the kids will find out about it; it’s like, I just don’t want to talk about me.”
Kody has a flawed sense of self that has convinced him that his wives all gather together to talk sh*t about him. This just doesn’t seem to be the case. A recent episode showed a perfect example of Janelle still speaking kindly about the man she no longer wants to spend another holiday with. Even though Christine often makes jabs at the father of 18, none of their conversations have been malicious. Christine and Janelle are far from acting like cackling witches.
Kody Is Dead Wrong
Kody made some very inconsiderate and dumb remarks. Strong friendships allow women to discuss issues, ideas, emotions, and even victories with people who are supportive, which is why they tend to flourish in these kinds of relationships. Kody typically attempts to impose his will on others and has never grasped the need for a deep relationship, let alone friendship, with any of his spouses. But in the middle of a volatile marriage to Kody, the two women discovered a safety net in one another.
No matter how much Kody wants to deny it, Janelle and Christine have a real friendship. It probably helps that their 12 children are incredibly close and also want to get together. Christine is also helping Janelle navigate her way through her recent split with Kody.
In their hour of need, the two Sister Wives stars are genuinely depending on one another. Therefore, despite Kody’s belief that their friendship is ridiculous, it’s actually him who is still trying to play the victim—not their wretched polygamous partner.
