This new marriage started a domino effect, leading to the end of the relationships he started his married life with.

After Brown married for the third time and his wife started having kids, it left his previous wives concerned about a shift in love and attention. Therefore, Janelle Brown began her motherhood and gave birth to six children with Kody Brown.
While the situation in the plural family household came to ease after having kids, things again started getting bitter when Robyn Brown joined the show in 2010. Surprisingly, by 2014, this new member ofSister Wivesled Kody Brown’s marriage to Christine end during season 17. While this marked the beginning of a disastrous time for the wives, the new wife’s entry soon started affecting the kids of the household.
Soon, Janelle and Kody Brown started having issues with how the patriarch was treating their kids. The 55-year-old journalist mentioned feeling like she was parenting her six children on her own. She noted that while her husband was previously present for his younger kids with Christine, he somehow failed to keep up as all of his wives started having children of their own.
Further, after Janelle and Kody Brown’s children grew up, over their parents’ 30 years of marriage, the 55-year-old noted that things got messed up once more. Janelle Brown noted that Kody’s absence in his kids’ lives had affected their relationship, which she was trying to solve.

While Kody Brown’s behavior towards their kids was one of the major reasons, the 55-year-old also called out Robyn as one of the many reasons. The journalist noted that after Robyn Brown enteredSister Wives, things started falling apart. Kody’s favoritism towards her and Robyn’s desire to parent all the Brown kids in her own way became a major issue.

She furtheropened up about Kody’s favoritism, particularly toward his younger children with Robyn, which created a painful double standard that the 55-year-old couldn’t ignore any longer. Janelle then called out Robyn for favoring her biological children while trying to impose her parenting style on the Brown kids—something that the 55-year-old found deeply troubling.
