If Kody Brown hadn’t treated Janelle Brown and her children so poorly, would she have stayed in polygamy?
Meri and Christine have made it absolutely clear they never want to live polygamy again. However, Janelle’s admitted she might try it again under the right circumstances. As the family unit continues crumbling on Season 19, many viewers debate Janelle’s attitude toward the lifestyle.
Was Janelle Brown A Fan Of Polygamy All Along?
Since leaving Kody Brown, Janelle has had plenty to say on the matter and no shortage of grievances. But is it polygamy she grew to despise or just her husband?
“Janelle the only one that liked sister wives?” a viewer asked on Reddit recently. “I think Janelle is the only one that genuinely and truly loved being a sister wife.”
The OP went on to discuss how Janelle converted to the AUB from the mainstream LDS church. She also seemed to fight for the communal home again and always enjoyed the independence that came along with sharing Kody with other wives.
“I believe she was not interested in a traditional marriage and even though she saw the favoritism from the beginning it didn’t bother her until it affected her children,” the OP continued. “If Kody hadn’t turned on her kids I think she would have stayed.”
Sister Wives Fans Weigh In On The Idea
Other Reddit users had mixed feelings about the OP’s points. They argued Janelle Brown certainly enjoyed elements of polygamy, but perhaps not the idea altogether.
They noted:
- “I think Janelle enjoyed the benefits of having Christine love and raise her kids but I don’t think she liked sharing Kody anymore than the other wives did. I think she pretended.”
- “Janelle liked having her independence and a man in her life who she only had to see a few days a week. I don’t think she will ever be in a monogamous marriage. She wouldn’t want a man around 24/7.”
- “I don’t think Janelle liked sister wives, but she wasn’t the type of woman to stay at home with the children, so having sister wives was beneficial to her so she could work and be the breadwinner (in the early years). Janelle seemed more indifferent to sister wives.”
- “I always thought that Janelle would’ve done well as a truck driver’s wife, but then I guess that would leave her to take care of her kids alone without help. I think she’s definitely cut out for a polygamist life, but she deserved a better partner than Kody.”
