‘Sister Wives’: Janelle Tells Kody Back Off – You’re Not on My Lease (New Video)

Sister Wives star Janelle Brown stands up to Kody Brown as another new episode from Season 17 rolls out Sunday night on TLC. It looks like Janelle joins forces with another co-wife in spilling the beans on their shared husband.

It is pretty clear that these ladies no longer let Kody Brown commandeer the driver’s seat while at their homes. This is a change, as it often looked as if he was in control during the previous seasons. Plus he made sure to pass along that he considers himself the leader of the family. But that quickly changes in upcoming episodes in Season 17.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown Makes Demand of Janelle Brown

Janelle Brown takes to the camera to explain what is going on from where she’s perched these days. This Sister Wives’ bride is extremely articulate with her speech. So, there’s no guessing what she means by the words she shares in the next episode about the inside workings of the Brown clan.

In the video tweeted below, the second wife from the Sister Wives tribe describes a phone call that she got from Kody. He called her after he got a phone call from Gabriel, the couple’s adult son.

Gabe tells his father he doesn’t like the way he’s treating his mom. The same goes for him and his siblings for that matter. Then this dad described his son as coming off to him as a narcissist.

The father of 18 was so furious that he demanded Janelle throw him out of the house. This of course was the Sister Wives‘ patriarch acting as the head of her household.

He also wanted Garrison Brown kicked out as well. They were both old enough to fend for themselves he said previously on the show. But he soon got a rude awakening about his head of household title.

Janelle Helps Topple Kody Off His Throne?

Janelle said that her son didn’t like the way his father, who is also her husband, was treating her. So, it sounds like he did a gallant thing by confronting his father.

Christine Brown chimed in to say that Janelle’s kids weren’t happy for years with the way Kody treated Janelle. But, she also told the Sister Wives’ camera that Janelle is fine with it. Christine said her co-wife gets what she needs from her shared husband, so she’s not complaining.

Mind you, if Kody said it once, he’s said it a hundred times. He makes sure fans know that he considers each wife’s house, his home as well. With that said, this father of 18 prides himself on being the king of the four households.

One thing that the Sister Wives viewers know about wife number two is that her kids come first. So when her husband pushed her to kick both Gabe and Garrison out, she wouldn’t hear of it.

The second wife of the family discussed this conflict with Kody in the video below. She pushed back, and her two boys stayed put.

Although, this caused a bit of a ripple in the canvas of Janelle and Kody’s relationship. This probably also had something to do with him feeling as if he lost control of the family.

Sister Wives: You’re Not Even on My Lease

Janelle didn’t jump at Kody’s demand, but she also put her foot down hard. She told him to step back, you are not even on my lease. So, in other words, it sounds as if Janelle was saying too bad, Papa Brown, this is not your call.

She said that her kids perceive Kody as favoring Robyn Brown. Even when the Sister Wives lived in Vegas, he spent most of the time at her house.

So, her kids believe when COVID came into play, that wasn’t the reason Kody stayed with Robyn all the time. That’s because he stayed there most of the time long before that.

The second wife calls her relationship with Kody Brown “adequate” and that is all she needs right now. But it is very different for her kids. They see him as playing favoritism with Robyn and her kids.

Christine said this as well. Christine’s take was she wanted to be an equal wife, but she couldn’t because Kody Brown favored Robyn. Janelle Brown’s take on this is that she’s okay with how their relationship is right now. But it is not the same relationship as Kody has with Robyn.

Still, whether Kody Brown sees himself as the leader of the family or not, Janelle is not letting him dictate to her when it comes to the kids. Kicking them out is not an option Janelle Brown was even willing to explore.

Tune in Sunday night to TLC for the second episode of Season 17.
