Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and Christine Brown may have split but the five Brown spouses got busy taking advantage of the extra publicity. The Sister Wives adults pull in salaries from the TLC series. But the fame they gained via this show also became a meal ticket. Today it looks as if they’ve amped up their money-making abilities as the new season of Sister Wives is about to roll out.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown Faces the Sunset of the Series?

With Kody Brown recently down one Sister Wives spouse, many fans wonder if this is the beginning of the end to this series. Not too long ago, Kody offered a clue to the fate of the show in one of his many online promotions.

This appeared to happen unintentionally on his part. But never-the-less he offered a few vague details about the future of Sister Wives. While talking about the season that’s about to roll out this month, he slipped. Kody mentioned an event that fans will see on the show. But then he caught himself.

He told the fans how he officiated over the wedding of his friend in this new upcoming Sister Wives season. Then he quickly corrected himself. Next, he mentioned how that event won’t show up in this new season, but the next.

So, as Soap Dirt suggested previously, it appears that Sister Wives Season 16 is followed by Season 17. Plus, from what Kody said, it sounds as though some, if not all of the following season, was already filmed.

How far the seasons will span after that is unknown. But it looks like the three current wives and one ex-wife of Kody became very active utilizing their now-famous faces. So, if the sun does set on this TLC reality series, they still have an avenue to generate income.

TLC’s Christine Brown Swims in Publicity

The Sister Wives spotlight is on Christine Brown today. She got up enough gumption to pull up stakes and leave Kody Brown in Flagstaff, Arizona and return to Utah. For that move, the viewers applaud the woman who became famous as the third wife in the Brown family.

But Christine gives the impression that she isn’t letting this extra publicity go to waste. It seems Christine used every other post online to promote one product or another. Christine Brown also tied her new single status in with her promotional sales presentation.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown - Christine Brown

She sends messages about facing her new chapter in life by becoming the best she can be. This includes both her physical health and her emotional health. And she just happens to have all the products now available for sale that helped her do this.

From what is seen so far, Christine Brown is using this sudden flood of publicity over her split to her advantage. She’s plugging a few things for her fans to “try” today. Then of course she’s selling LuLaRoe clothing, to a ready-made customer base of half of a million Sister Wives online followers. This MLM theme is strong across the board with Kody Brown’s ladies.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Taunts Fans with Wine or Water

If anyone gets a prize for knowing how to reel in the publicity, that’s Meri Brown. This original Sister Wives matriarch has tossed out cryptic messages to her fans for a few years now.

She doesn’t often address the rumors about her leaving Kody. But she will offer a lot of messages that seem to suggest she’s ready to go. Meri Brown is still with Kody Brown and her latest gig to attract fan attention happens weekly on Friday nights.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown - Jenn Sullivan

For a few months now Meri does her little weekly spinoff – Fridays With Friends. She hops online with her best friend Jenn Sullivan. The first bride in this famous polygamous family offers the disclaimer that fans won’t learn anything about the Sister Wives in this show that lasts about an hour.

These two friends act silly. So, fans started asking a while back if the two of them are drinking. Meri came back with replies like, “I am high on life,” which is one answer she teased. So, it appears as if Meri Brown took this fan assumption that she is having cocktail hour at the same time she does this show and ran with it.

Now she taunts her fans. One of her latest shows has her asking “water or wine” as the two take swigs out of cups that conceal their beverage. Her sales of LuLaRoe clothing seem to focus on her fan-base of followers, which number over half a million. So, she too spun her Sister Wives fame into a money-generating business.

Janelle Brown Amps up the Sales

Janelle keeps her fans in the loop on what she’s up to. She probably does this more than all of the other women who married Kody Brown.

Sure, Meri and Christine Brown have a huge online presence. But Janelle is more apt to tell you the details about her whereabouts or the stuff she’s doing. In contrast, the other ladies from Sister Wives tend to be somewhat vague.

Sister Wives: Janelle Brown - Gabe Brown - Garrison Brown - Girlfriends

Janelle Brown recently shared the photo above from an outing with two of her kids. That’s Gabriel Brown and Garrison Brown. Her sons came along with their “plus one” as Janelle calls them.

In between her saying goodbye to the camper for the winter and having dinner out, Janelle is selling stuff to her fan base too. She also collected a similar number of followers as her co-wives, Christine and Meri. So, Sister Wives awarded these ladies fame and now they take that fame and make it work for them.

Sister Wives: Robyn Brown Gets Top Billing

The Brown family appears to have disintegrated from the Sister Wives tribe of early seasons. Robyn Brown continues to get the top mention when it comes to the blame. She is not as sales-minded with her fame as her fellow co-wives. Or if she is, she sure doesn’t poke her head out to give it a try.

But despite her online silence during the show’s hiatus between seasons, she does fit into the money-generating scheme of things. Right now she’s seen as the villain who caused Christine Brown to leave Kody.

It’s Kody Brown’s behaviors that left Christine Brown feeling low on her husband’s totem pole of spouses. But Robyn seems to get the majority of the blame from the followers of this series.

So, her silence works for publicity for the upcoming season. While Kody navigates around Christine’s breakup and Christine Brown around leaving Kody, not much else changed. Still, these adults from Sister Wives use their now-famous faces to generate an income above and beyond the show’s salaries.

Despite what sounds like the revamping of the family dynamics as one wife leaves, Kody Brown carries on. As do his three wives and one now ex-wife, who don’t seem to miss the beat of a sales pitch. Sister Wives returns with Season 16 on Sunday, November 21 on TLC.
