Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

As a seasoned observer of human dynamics, I find the lives of these reality TV stars deeply intriguing. In this particular case, it seems that the Browns’ marital woes are not just a show for the cameras but a reflection of real-life struggles.

Kody Brown might not want a knife in the kidneys, but he doesn’t mind one in the back.

During the December 1st episode of Sister Wives, the former polygamist engages in a significant conversation with his ex-wife Meri Brown and his current wife Robyn Brown concerning the upcoming settlement of the Coyote Pass property. When Meri disclosed to Kody that his ex-wife Janelle Brown had previously advised her to safeguard herself during the asset distribution, he offered a rather sharp response.

According to Kody, he feels that Janelle doesn’t have confidence in him because she might take advantage of the situation if given the chance. He openly admits that he has considered acting on those feelings, but his moral compass prevents him from doing so.

In her private thoughts, Janelle expressed that she voiced her worries to Meri with a sense of fairness in mind.

Though Meri and I don’t have a significant relationship,” she confided, “my conscience compelled me to approach her regarding the property matter. I didn’t intend to cause any drama; instead, I wanted to ensure she was informed and prepared for the situation.

Initially, Meri appeared to dismiss Janelle, but her concern seemed to deepen following a conversation with Kody regarding the impending sale.

She mentioned in a private conversation that Kody’s name is on every one of the four properties, while Robyn’s name is on about three. This suggests they own the entire property portfolio. She expressed her hopes that they would act fairly, honestly, and avoid any conflicts.

Actually, Kody, who parted ways with Christine Brown back in 2021, appeared unenthusiastic about obtaining a valuation of the land, preferring instead to negotiate a division of the property without first getting it evaluated.

Janelle mentioned that she thinks Kody might be reluctant about getting an appraisal as he seems to feel he’s already doing quite well financially,” or “Janelle suggested that Kody may be hesitant to get an appraisal since he believes he’s already doing extremely well.

Janelle, who parted ways with Kody in 2022, mentioned that she had already hired a lawyer in preparation for possibly contesting for a fair portion of the shared assets.

It appeared as if Meri was gradually aligning with Janelle’s perspective. In her private reflection, she said, “I’m no longer tied to Kody through marriage. I need to prioritize myself now.

For more bombshells from this season of Sister Wives, read on.

Kody Brown expressed his intention to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, not long after they exchanged vows in 1990. However, as he had often done for many years, Kody gave Meri hope that things would improve by saying, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a good opportunity for us to start anew.” This was according to what Meri shared during the Sept. 15 premiere, which referred to their 2018 relocation. Essentially, Meri felt that Kody had repeatedly given her false hope about their relationship over the years.

She expressed her primary concern as his inconsistent communication regarding his true feelings, desires, and dislikes, along with the narrative he has been conveying over the years.

Kody admitted there might have been some confusion in his messages, but as he began working on various tasks, he found himself questioning, “What’s the point of doing this?” He clarified that he wouldn’t pursue a relationship or courtship with her at this time.

Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023. 

She admitted, “They seemed to say, ‘We’re here for you, we’re on your side. And it’s long overdue,'” she confessed. With her blinders removed, she now believes that for years he had been subtly encouraging her to leave by claiming he didn’t love her, “Because if I depart on my own accord, then he isn’t the villain since he didn’t abandon ship.

Several years had passed since the family bought a 14-acre piece of land they intended to construct on, located in Flagstaff, Ariz. In the season premiere, Kody admitted he was ready to let the dream of building there fade away. Due to the fact that they hadn’t paid off the entire $820,000 cost (which the family apparently settled in 2023), he shared his sentiments with Robyn Brown, saying, “I’d almost prefer we abandon it or sell it and then start anew somewhere else.

As for Robyn, “I can’t talk about that,” she responded. “That is so not where I’m at.”

Previously, Janelle Brown shared with TopMob News that the relationship between them had been gradually fading, but it was ultimately Kody’s shortcomings in his parental responsibilities towards some of their children that led her to decide to part ways.

The turning point for her was when his bond with my kids deteriorated and it didn’t seem like he was willing to go the extra mile to mend it,” shared the mother with Logan Brown, Madison Brown Brush, Hunter Brown, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Brown, and Savanah Brown. “At that moment, I realized that was what was keeping me rooted here.

In the November 3rd episode, Kody proposed reconciliation, but it was an absolute no for Janelle.

She stated that finding a way to make peace with him while he doesn’t maintain a relationship with her children is something she can’t imagine. However, she made it clear that she will always prioritize her children.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

The reason Kody didn’t put more effort into repairing the strained relationships with some of his grown-up kids, was what he shared as an explanation.

In the episode on September 15, he voiced his feelings of not belonging in the family anymore. Despite being legally married to Robyn and co-parenting their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he mentioned having limited contact with some other kids as well. He expressed confusion over how to navigate these complex relationships, stating that it doesn’t feel like a family anymore.

Even though they’ve been genuinely monogamous for the first time in their 14-year marriage, Robyn admitted during the season 19 premiere that things have never been as difficult as they are now. They’ve been facing some tough times together. Kody doesn’t know who to blame – himself or one of the other wives. He’s feeling a lot of rejection and I think he suspects that I might reject him too.

Consequently, she disclosed, “I’m constantly vigilant. I have to keep checking if he isn’t undermining our relationship.” The most challenging aspect, as she put it: “There’s no guidance available for the thought that I’m still wed to a man who’s getting divorced multiple times.

Meanwhile, Kody found himself grappling with self-doubt, expressing, “I struggle to tell my reflection, ‘You’re alright, buddy. I admire you.’

In the October 27 episode, Robyn found it tough to see her ex-sister wives thriving in their latest chapter. As she observed, they were all progressing, while she felt like the one who was left behind.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Add Madison, the eldest child of Janelle, to the list of kids who are currently not in a relationship with Kody. According to Janelle during the premiere, “Maddie hasn’t spoken to her father for some time,” she stated. “He hasn’t called her, she hasn’t reached out to him, and there’s no current relationship between them or Robin. Essentially, she has decided not to maintain contact with either of them.

Janelle mentioned that the matter at hand revolves around Kody not fully engaging in a relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. She expressed her view that he should only interact with them if he is prepared to make a firm commitment to it.

Consequently, during the September 22 broadcast, Janelle mentioned that Kody had essentially stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush when the family began to significantly disintegrate.

Without Kody being around or reaching out, Maddie has stepped up as a very protective mother figure, as expressed by Janelle. She feels that until he can be dependable, present without causing a scene, it might be best for them not to involve him in their lives anymore.

Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to reconnect and repair their relationship. She also expressed, “I believe it would be beneficial if the children were to take similar steps as well.

Currently, I find myself not quite prepared to mend the divide, as each conversation with my daughter felt more like fishing for gossip, which grew tiresome over time.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that Kody had hinted he never truly loved her and felt compelled to marry her. In response, she told him, “‘Kody,’ I said, ‘I knew you did love me.’

And if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose? 

“Why would a man decide to marry a woman he doesn’t love, merely declaring his affection for her and trying to make himself fall in love over time? Seems unfair, doesn’t it? To select someone from among many others and then say, ‘I choose you, and now I’ll try to force myself to love you for the next 30 years or more’?

Kody explained in a private moment, “Meri’s leveling some accusations. Well, she can speak her mind as much as she likes. I won’t be giving any comments on that matter.

Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period. 

He emphatically stated during the October 20th broadcast that our marriage was in trouble throughout its entirety. He claimed to have a stronger bond with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, implying this knowledge came from those relationships.

Reflecting on my past, I acknowledge that I should have ended my relationship a quarter-century back, yet the grip of fear kept me bound. The hierarchy had me under their spell, whispering ominously, “Once a spouse is cast aside, leadership will not permit another marriage.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

In my situation, I was torn between developing Coyote Pass or selling it off, but I realized the first step was clearing the debt on the Arizona property. Unfortunately, Kody isn’t open to discussing this with me, so I find myself in a position where I believe seeking legal advice is my only option. I shared this with my former sister wife, Christine Brown, during the September 22 episode, stating, “I think I’m going to have to consult a lawyer.” This seems like the only way I can possibly get any resolution from him.

Janelle admitted that since she and Kody aren’t legally married, “I don’t actually have any legal grounds to stake a claim on Kody’s assets.” In her own words, “It’s not as simple as contacting a lawyer and requesting a divorce. The situation is complex because there’s no legal marriage involved.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Kody explained that he felt unable to discuss the Arizona property with Janelle because he had lost trust in her.

He made it clear during the September 22 episode that he would settle the property when necessary, and he didn’t want to share any more details about his actions or plans because he’s grown weary of sharing information that gets distorted by the rumor mill within our dysfunctional family.

A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview. 

She mentioned, “He spills secrets as if he’s got a hole in him, and it turns out he was sharing details of his past relationships and multiple marriages, which made me feel like this might not be appropriate information for me to know.

When the family’s love was growing stronger instead of weakening, they would combine all their savings into a shared fund.

In simpler terms, Janelle stated during the September 22 episode that we would exhaust all our resources to aid one person, and then collectively assist the other. This has been our approach for quite some time, until around the last decade when things shifted towards personal estates and everyone seemed to prioritize their own.

When Robyn found herself needing a house in Arizona, everyone chipped in to purchase a luxurious five-bedroom property worth around $1.65 million that went on sale in August.

Initially, Robyn mentioned that the property would benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all share the mortgage, she faced opposition. Kody responded, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you know, Robyn’s inheritance,” as Janelle remembered. Now, since she’s leaving the family, Janelle stated that she wants her fair share of the Coyote Pass earnings and also hopes to recover some of the money she invested in Robyn’s house.

But that could be a tough sell. 

In response, Robyn remarked, “After all this time working side by side, it’s perplexing to me. I mean, how does one quantify or determine that amount Janelle claims is due?

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

In response to the family’s struggle with paying off Coyote Pass, Janelle expressed her frustration by stating that Kody mentioned having numerous other debts. However, she has noticed him acquiring additional assets such as trailers and home decorations. She pointed out the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls, along with their accumulated possessions, saying “I see all these things.” She acknowledged that she too has spent money on items, but Kody explained that most of his funds were used for purchasing cars and insuring the children.

Janelle admitted she wasn’t certain about Kody and Robyn’s financial management, but she often found herself astonished by the lavishness of her backyard. It was immaculately completed, and there always seemed to be an abundance of items at her house. This left her exclaiming, “Wow. Really?

Essentially, she expressed that he didn’t make her needs or desires a priority, which over time became increasingly evident, even to her children, who grew quite upset and would exclaim, “Mom, what’s going on?

Instead, let me rephrase for you: After her first marriage ended, Robyn became quite mindful about managing her finances.

She admitted on the September 22 episode that she wasn’t particularly good with finances in the past. Growing up, she faced some tough financial challenges, and it was during her divorce that she truly mastered budgeting skills. Regarding her fellow sisters-in-law, she suggested that perhaps they had different spending priorities compared to hers.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Currently, during the September 22 episode, it was revealed that Janelle admitted there is little to no interaction taking place between herself, Meri, Robyn, and Kody at present. She doesn’t anticipate this situation improving significantly in the near future.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Kody fondly referred to the period in Las Vegas when they lived together on a cul-de-sac with four houses as “the best time of my life.” He explained, “Life was going smoothly, and it was wonderful having Maddie and Caleb around. I truly cared for Caleb; he felt like family to me.

However, discord arose in Arizona concerning coronavirus safety measures, which eventually led to disintegration. He later mentioned that as his marriages crumbled, so did his connections with the children: “This only worsened all our relationships.

But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021. 

In the recent broadcast on September 22nd, I shared insights, and to clarify, I want to emphasize that the feelings of frustration among the children were present long before my departure. Leaving didn’t alter their bond with their father; it’s still within Kody’s power to mend his relationships with his kids.

Though it’ll definitely take some work. 

Kody shared, “I’ve been deeply hurt by how I’ve been treated, and it’s left me feeling unable to move past it. I can’t accept blame for actions my wife or ex-wife claims I took. I long for the day when our resentment fades, so we can find forgiveness and love once more.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

At the time they got married, which was when Kody was 21 and Meri was 19, both of them admitted that they weren’t particularly well-acquainted with each other, spiritually or legally. This union eventually led to a divorce filing in 2014, as Kody sought legal permission to adopt Robyn’s three older children from her previous marriage.

In our wedding, she seemed quite different, and there were some issues from her past – things I wasn’t aware of initially. At first, I thought I could deal with it. However, as time went on, everything felt like an argument, and I can’t endure a life where she is consistently upset with me.

Despite his desire to leave, Kody explained that due to his plural marriage, he wasn’t granted a divorce option. He added, “Since I wished to remain loyal and devoted to my faith, I couldn’t escape from this relationship. However, I didn’t necessarily yearn for an exit; instead, I sought understanding on whether we could repair and salvage our union.

Admittedly, there were moments where I believed we could resolve our issues, Meri. However, each time we interacted, I found myself expressing that she wasn’t pleasant, engaging, or compassionate towards me. In truth, I find myself growing increasingly bored in her presence. I’m trying my best to maintain curiosity, but it’s becoming a challenge.

He acknowledged that it was understandable for Meri to feel neglected, but he clarified that he wasn’t the one who forced him out. Instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri decided among themselves that he should depart from the shared home.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Despite the fact that neither Janelle nor Christine considered it necessary to legally divorce Kody, Meri sought and obtained a formal separation, referred to as a “release,” from their church in December of 2022.

In the episode on September 22nd, she clarified that all four of us had ‘church marriages’ with Kody. While these weren’t legal unions, we referred to them as covenants. Since none of us are planning to continue our marriages, I believe it’s appropriate to end this covenant. I don’t want to be bound to him for eternity if he doesn’t wish for that, and I’m at a point where I prefer a clean break.

Kody showed reluctance towards the idea, she mentioned, as she wasn’t keen on recognizing or submitting to the power held by the church leaders.

Kody made it clear that the rift between them was too deep to be mended. He added, “I don’t want to answer to this church for our issues anymore, I’d rather Meri find her own path.” He further explained, “If I’m still holding a grudge against her, it only leads to more arguments. So, I just want her to move on because it seems like she hasn’t accepted that our relationship is over for quite some time now.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that conversation in a more conversational and first-person style like this:

Robyn explained that her older children found the interaction uncomfortable and felt the need for some distance in their relationship. However, she clarified that this didn’t mean they wanted to cut ties completely or never see her again. Instead, it seemed more like they were saying, “This has become awkward.

For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other. 

“The thing I want most is to just have a relationship with Robyn’s children again,” he confessed in the Oct. 13 episode. “In middle school, Aurora was my favorite person to hang out with. And in high school, I would always try to hit Dayton up. But I’m, I’m not hopeful for a relationship with Dad And Robyn.”

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Aurora firmly stated that she was repeatedly informed by various individuals and situations, both before and after her mother married Kody in 2010, that she was not welcomed into the family. She emphasized that they did not view her as their sister, neither in thought nor feeling.

Her sister Breanna expressed that she believed the parents could have made more efforts to foster family connections, but those attempts never materialized effectively.

But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.

Robyn’s children and Robyn were always invited to all events,” she emphasized. “In simpler terms, I was saying they were welcome to drop by our house any time they pleased.

Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a tight bond with Robyn’s children, and Mykelti Brown Padron even resided with them for a while. She explained, “There were challenging periods, and my kids felt exasperated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s children as their siblings just as if they were blood relatives.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Speaking enthusiastically about plural marriages, Janelle expressed, “When it works properly, you become part of this fantastic family network, connected deeply to the community. You have a husband and share a wonderful relationship with him. Yet, at the same time, I maintain my independence. To me, this multi-partnership setup was truly an exceptional arrangement.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

According to Janelle, Kody found it more challenging to split his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.

During the September 29th episode, it was mentioned that upon moving to Flagstaff, Kody seemed to find it simpler to spend time away. Occasionally, I had to remind him to visit my home. He would often claim exhaustion as an excuse, but I’d respond, “You can rest just as well at my house as you can at Robyn’s.” In simpler terms, she noted that Kody found it easier to stay away and often needed reminders to come over, but when he did get tired, she pointed out that he could rest just as comfortably at her place as at Robyn’s.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

According to Janelle, her children were reprimanded when they dared to open Robyn’s refrigerator. Meanwhile, for Christine’s kids, the problem stemmed from observing that Robyn and their father were a couple, yet he was not present in their household.

And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide. 

On the September 29th episode, she mentioned that Meri, in particular, welcomed my children and me with open arms, but the rest of the family found it challenging to accept us. She expressed that our primary desire was to become a part of this family.

However, Gabriel might assert that they took significant efforts to integrate their kin into their group.

In the Oct. 13 episode, he expressed his viewpoint: “Robyn seems to have a tendency to perceive herself as a victim,” he put it frankly. “However, I don’t wish to place blame on her. Instead, I believe that various individuals develop unique strategies to help them stay afloat in life.

But he went on to say, “If she truly thinks we were unfairly favoring her or mistreating her children while Dad always favored her and we were making efforts to build a relationship with them, if that’s what she believes, then I can never have a relationship with Robyn again.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

During a September 29 broadcast, Kody revealed that the frequent moves between four homes significantly impacted his eighteen children. He recounted an instance where Ariella, Robyn’s youngest, who was born in January 2016, held onto him tightly as he attempted to depart, indicating their emotional attachment and potential distress from these changes.

Kody put it this way: “‘I have another wife who needs me, another child to care for,’ he said. ‘I have other kids waiting for me, and she’s clinging to me, crying, ‘Don’t abandon me, Daddy.’ It’s tough on me, too.’

Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle. 

She stated right from the start, her children were aware that their father wouldn’t always be around due to his frequent absences. It seemed to her that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation regarding their children. Ari would become extremely upset if her dad was away for more than three or four days. In her opinion, this was a lack of good parenting. Throughout the family’s history, the other kids had managed similar situations, and they turned out to be well-adjusted adults.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Among the rare group of children with brown complexion, Mykelti maintained relationships with both Robyn, Kody, and Kody’s other two wives, Christine and Janelle. In times of Kody’s divorces, Mykelti often acted as a mediator or peacekeeper between them.

From the instant Robyn joined the Brown clan, Mykelti went so far as to ask her to be present during the delivery of her twins in November 2022 – named Archer and Ace.

In a recent episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still trying to discover myself. Robyn made me feel unique and understood, she was there for me at times when I required someone’s presence. She was there for me when I needed someone to listen to me, to show me affection.

Christine, Robyn’s mother, couldn’t have been happier. As it turned out, when Robyn joined the family and it was clear she and Mykelti had a strong bond, it exceeded all her expectations, she revealed on the Oct. 6 episode. “Ever since I dreamed of having a multi-mother household, I prayed that my children would form beautiful relationships with other mothers,” Christine explained.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Kody believes it’s not just his wives who are choosing to exclude him from their lives; instead, he thinks they are intentionally doing so as a form of retribution for a crime he insists he didn’t commit. During the October 6 episodes, he explained this perspective on his strained relationship with some of his older children, stating that he is merely guilty of not deeply falling in love with their mothers.

What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame. 

He mentioned that the strain in his relationship with his children is largely due to negative comments about him. He explained that there’s a constant feeling of letdown following the family’s separation, and it seems as though he’s being blamed for the situation. In simpler terms, he feels like everyone is saying, “Dad must have messed up.

However, though he bears some responsibility, he strongly objects to the insults hurled at him. Notably, he disclosed that his relationship with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel was strained, as one of his children replied to a text saying, “You are worthless. I would never talk to you again anyway.

In another instance, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You are a jerk. I will no longer speak to you. You have manipulated me and indoctrinated me.’

He’s unwilling to continue addressing the issue with venom, as he stated, “I won’t keep reaching out indefinitely.” He believes his elders should take a more active role in resolving matters. However, he is prepared to put forth an effort, but he expects others to reciprocate and make efforts as well.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home. 

In her Oct. 6 conversation, she shared that her parents divorced when she was young. At that time, her father lived with another woman in a different city, while her mother lived alone. She recalled a moment when she asked him why he wasn’t around during her childhood years, to which he provided flimsy explanations that left her feeling disappointed.

Instead of letting Kody’s wounded emotions hinder his persistence, it seemed as if she couldn’t help but express some reservations. During their heated confrontation, caught on camera towards the end of 2022, she admitted, “It’s tough for me not to feel like I might be losing a bit of respect for you.

Kody admitted that he might not be putting enough effort into repairing his relationships with his children, but he emphasized that he must heal his own heart first.

He shared that some of his children seem to be working against him, and he explained, “I’m so enraged by what has transpired that if I interact with my kids, I fear they might provoke me with an allegation. At the moment, I’m too emotionally volatile. All I could do is cause further harm.

As a devoted family member, I was present at Logan’s wedding to Michelle Petty in October 2022, but despite being there, the atmosphere didn’t resonate with the usual warmth and love we all share.

In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he noticed Madison hurriedly left him with her children, which he found upsetting. Interestingly, Madison hadn’t shared with him the news about her third pregnancy, baby Josephine, who was born in February 2023. In simpler terms, Kody felt Madison didn’t inform him she was pregnant.

Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.

Janelle clarified that Maddie avoids Kody because he hasn’t been part of her life since Evie was born, almost four years ago. Maddie takes great care in shielding her children, so she prefers that Kody doesn’t suddenly appear and claim to be their grandfather without them recognizing him first.

Kody expressed that it’s impractical for grandparents to constantly be present in their grandchildren’s lives, particularly when moving family members across entire coastlines. He pointed out his own commitments in Flagstaff as evidence of this challenge.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

It’s evident that Kody and his grown-up kids hold starkly contrasting perspectives about their current rift, with a significant issue being Kody insisting on some form of apology or acknowledgment of wrongdoing from his side.

Following the end of the COVID-19 crisis, we resumed our regular lives, but there remained unresolved issues within our family. Specifically, Kody expressed that his sons should apologize, particularly to Robyn, for something that had transpired. He later added that they simply needed to have a conversation with him about it. This was discussed by Janelle during the October 13 episode.

Janelle explained that Kody was upset because he felt his children hadn’t been faithful to him, adding, “and the person who has given her all in this family, pouring out her heart and soul, has been disregarded or treated unfairly.” She responded, “Well, Kody, I don’t know. Whatever.

Gabriel expressed a similar sentiment, narrating a discussion with his father. “He continually presented it as if I needed to apologize,” he told Janelle. “Finally, I said, ‘Look, unless you’re truly prepared to rebuild our relationship and make amends, we won’t talk anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me back. He wrote, ‘Hey, I’ve been reflecting on your words. I forgive you, Please forgive me too.’ I replied, ‘Forgive me for what?’

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Out of his six children with Janelle, Kody only maintains regular contact with their youngest daughter, Savanah. He doesn’t see them often, but every few months he calls and they go out together. The rest of the kids don’t have much interaction with him at all. (Janelle shared this during the Oct. 13 episode)

Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, it seems her four elder brothers have assumed a paternal role for her. Already, Savannah has expressed to Janelle that she might ask her siblings to escort her on her wedding day at some point.

As a lifestyle expert, let me share with you my personal insights based on a conversation I had recently. I spoke with Savannah about a particular topic, and she expressed to me that she has come to understand his nature more clearly: “He’ll be the kind of dad who joins us for fun-filled moments but may not always be present consistently.” She went on to say, “I’ve learned to accept him as he is, understanding that it’s all right and I can still find harmony in our relationship with him.

Janelle, however, is less forgiving. 

She expressed her exasperation with Kody, saying, “I can’t help but feel frustrated. You see, throughout my career, I’ve encountered numerous instances where women I’ve worked with have divorced, only for the children to be left without their father’s presence.

Sister Wives’ Kody Admits He’s Thought About “Screwing” Over Janelle

Initially, Gabriel found the father-son estrangement particularly difficult as Kody frequently invited Gabriel along on his work trips, a role that demonstrated Kody’s strong paternal involvement. However, in recent times, Janelle noted, Kody’s engagement as a father has noticeably waned.

Despite being puzzled about what might have made his father angry, Gabriel declared during the Oct. 13 episode, “I told Dad that if he doesn’t change and can’t accept responsibility, then I simply won’t visit him anymore. And I’m completely content with that decision.

In her words, he finds contentment because his father isn’t a part of his life. Frankly, I wish the same peace for all my children, and I believe they are gradually understanding this too.

For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation. 

He expressed his regret for how Gabriel seems to be feeling, adding, “I’ve tried reaching out to him numerous times, but unfortunately, he hasn’t responded positively. Yet, I assure you, it’s not due to me being unwilling to make the effort.
