Undeniably, Sister Wives star, Janelle Brown isn’t one to quit. During Season 18, she knew things were done with Kody Brown, but she was stressed when she admitted she was pretty much sunk financially if she chose to leave.
While Christine Brown Woolley had her home, Janelle was up a creek. But why did she get such a raw deal amid the split from Kody, Robyn, Meri, and Christine Brown?
Janelle Brown Invested In The Family
Initially, Sister Wives star, Janelle Brown was so dedicated to the plan to build on Coyote Pass that she scrimped and saved at every opportunity possible. So much so, that she chose to move into an RV on the land to cut costs until the land was paid off. However, when COVID-19 disrupted the family, she and Kody Brown weren’t able to overcome the high tensions.
Although Janelle decided she was ready to separate from the plural marriage, she recognized she had put herself in a terrible financial situation. Admittedly, she was scared to leave because all of her money was tied up in the mutual investments within the family.
But in the latest episode of Season 19, the family began to spill ample amounts of tea regarding their financial choices. For instance, even Janelle calls out Kody and Robyn Brown for their frivolous spending habits.
But Robyn was confused why Janelle thought she was owed anything from her and Kody. While everyone is pointing fingers, some fans question what is true. Seemingly, she is business savvy, so why is Janelle so broke amid the divorce?
Why Janelle Brown Had Nothing Amid Split
Although she seemingly had a head square on her shoulders, Janelle Brown still ended up scraping by amid the split. On Instagram, a Sister Wives viewer brings up a point about Janelle having financial insecurity. They add a question to get fans chatting.
Furthermore, in the caption, it says, “Don’t get it twisted, I love Janelle, but I think she might be just as incompetent as the rest of them. Am I wrong ?#kodybrownisadick #robynbrownisafraud #sisterwives #sisterwivestlc #janellebrown #kodybrown.”
- And the screenshot text says, “Controversial take with a disclaimer because Janelle is my favourite…but if she was so good with money & so organized & such a career woman… why is she the one in the worst financial position right now?”
Some Fans Get The Heartbreaking Truth
Heartbreakingly, some fans completely understand why Janelle Brown is in such a predicament.
- “I’m surprised she didn’t start putting stuff away when things were getting questionable. I did that in previous relationship so when it ended, I had $$ and options. Glad Maddie and Caleb are offering to help.”
- “She let a man she loved manipulate her into sharing all her money with people who didn’t care about her and used her.”
- “I think she was focused on the family as a whole and not herself.”
- Some see she traded in her buying power, “I think cause she got rid of her own house and wanted to get on the property. That moved screwed her over in the long run. Had she had her own home and sold it she coulda done like Christine.”
You Live And You Learn
Some Sister Wives fans think Janelle Brown has learned a horrible lesson from the plural marriage. Sadly, Kody and Robyn are putting her through the school of “hard knocks.”
- “She was acting as a part of a family unit 😢 now she’s trying to protect herself as an individual.”
- “I’m 50/50 on it. I think she is a good budgeter when the family was on the same page but when Robyn came on the scene Jenelle was still operating by the old communist rules. She didn’t know kody would ‘change up’ and start funneling all the money to the new wife. Jenelle ignored the red flags and next thing you know she is living in a RV and kody and koby are living in a mansion.”
- “We all do stupid things for our family outside of our business ‘acumen’ because we ‘trust’ them. Sadly, she did not CYA. Like so many of us women have and end up with close to nothing.”

Although her life has dealt her many harsh circumstances, she is picking herself up and making big strides! Furthermore, she seemingly is diversifying her income streams and proceeding with cautions about who she invests in going forward.
