During Sister Wives Season 19, the ex-wives gave more insight into the familial breakdown. When Christine married David and returned to Utah, the family needed to make some decisions about her home.
Kody tried to force Janelle to move into it, but she refused. Instead, fans watched as she and Savanah moved into an RV on the empty Coyote Pass lot.
As viewers wait for Season 19 to return to TLC, they’re taking deep dives into the Brown family’s motives. Recently, some Sister Wives fans pondered why Kody so adamantly wanted Janelle to take Christine’s house.
Sister Wives Fans Think Kody Brown’s Greed Ultimately Drives Him
By the time Christine left Flagstaff, cracks in Janelle and Kody’s relationship were already growing. Many Sister Wives viewers didn’t think it made much sense for Janelle to purchase a home in Flagstaff. After living in the RV with Savanah, Janelle realized how much better off she was without her husband.
So why did Kody try to force her to take Christine’s home?
“Why did Kody want Janelle to buy Christine’s house?” a Sister Wives viewer posted on Reddit recently. “I don’t get it. TIA for any replies.”
Unless Kody Brown admits the truth, no one can say for sure why he pushed Janelle so hard. But many other viewers agreed it likely had something to do with greed. Onscreen, Kody often discusses how money is a major factor when it comes to decision-making.
Other Sister Wives fans wrote:
- “My take was he thought he could get Christine to sell it under market to them. Like, super under market.”
- “He wanted another asset and thought he could swindle Christine out of her equity.”
- “Janelle was pushing him to pay off CP so that they can move forward and build (holding him to his promise). He had no intention of ever building. So, what better way to get Janelle into a house and get back that asset by trying to force her to buy it on her own, with her own mortgage?”
- “I bet he wanted Dayton to move into Christine’s house. Not collect the rent money. Used Janelle to buy it. This would’ve made Robyn very happy.”
Janelle Brown Ultimately Chose Wisely
In general, Sister Wives fans can agree that Janelle Brown made the right decision. She was true to her own wants and needs. And now, she’s building a dream home of her very own.
