Sister Wives star Janelle Brown has been living happily as a mother to her six children. Many of the 54-year-old’s posts today are about her bonding time with her kids and grandkids. However, some Reddit users think something is lacking with the former second wife of Kody. Others even assumed that she may have suffered from a big trauma growing up. Keep reading to see why some people speculate Janelle has a worrying past.
Sister Wives: Janelle Brown’s Recent Activities With The Kids
Janelle likes to share stories about her children. During last year’s Christmas, the Sister Wives star shared a heartwarming picture with some of her kids and grandkids. She even shared some of their activities, such as board games, tracking Santa for the kids, and staying up late. The reality TV personality also shared her Disneyland trip earlier this year with her daughter, Savanah. But despite all the fun, some Reddit users still worry for Janelle.
Fans Think Janelle Suffered Big Trauma Growing Up
Some Redditors discussed the possibility that Janelle had a traumatic past. According to the poster, they just rewatched an old episode from the show titled “All about Janelle,” in which she talks about her feelings about gaining a new sister wife and her struggles to lose weight. But what caught the attention of the poster was the Sister Wives star looking “so repressed” and almost like she doesn’t want to exist.
- “She wants to be ghost and has basically said almost just that. Kody said that her selling point to him was “I am very low maintenance. I don’t need much.” She was not only speaking about material but attention. Not to mention choosing polygamy. She couldn’t even goof off with her family. I understand more reserved people out in public but she has a hard time even with her family.” the poster added.
The Reddit user later pointed out that Janelle Brown was somewhat of a “still face mom” but they believe that she’s been getting better and better today. Others agreed and speculated that her recent improvements may have come from being a grandmother. Though some debated with the poster and believed that there was nothing wrong with her.
- “Anyone that would choose polygamy as an adult has issues. I’m not knocking her, it just seems like she desperately wanted to belong somewhere.”
- “I think she does goof off with her family, just not when it’s being filmed for TLC. Tbf, I wouldn’t be comfortable being silly either. We need to remember that Janelle was the one with the government/office job. How she behaves on the show could impact her employment.”
- “Things like not wanting to goof off with her family does not mean she had trauma, she’s just not the kind of person that wants to stand up and do a variety show at her kids graduation party. It’s not a character flaw, it’s her personality.”
Sister Wives: Who Is Janelle Brown’s Father?
Some Reddit users from the same thread also discussed one of the few photos Janelle had with her father. According to the Sister Wives star, her father passed away when she was three, and she was later introduced to a new father who was willing to shoulder the responsibility of her mom. “My sister and I, stepped up and my mom remarried. Happy Father’s Day to all the different kinds of dads!” she added.
Some said that Janelle Brown’s late father looked a lot like Garrison. Another Reddit user pointed out that her dad wasn’t very affectionate and encouraging to them, and it’s one of the main reasons why Janelle lost interest in Kody after he began to neglect their kids.
