Why Sister Wives’ Janelle and Christine Brown May Be Going Too Far Dissing Kody

Now, before I get all the Sister Wives fans coming after me and the article, let’s set the record straight. I don’t think Kody Brown will ever win the Husband of the Year award. But I am starting to wonder if he is getting just a bit too much hate. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. So, I can’t imagine the demise of three relationships being all Kody’s fault. As we know, Meri Brown cheated, and Christine Brown had a jealous streak. While Janelle Brown just fell out of love. So, it doesn’t seem fair that Kody keeps getting walloped by his former wives in the press. But that is just my opinion

Christine Brown and Janelle Brown are on a heated press tour

The shade is flying out of Christine and Janelle’s mouths after the start of Season 19 of Sister Wives. The former wives of the polygamous patriarch aren’t holding back their true feelings regarding their disdain for Kody. And let me tell you, the hate shines through during each interview. Both women stopped by the Radio Andy podcast to promote the show but went into more detail than expected about their personal lives. As the interview ended, the women were asked to describe Kody in just three words. And the reviews from his former spouses were not nice. Christine piped right up, joking, “Just three?”

The mother of six then bluntly answered, “Deadbeat dad. Sorry, that’s two, but that can be two. Deadbeat dad and … oblivious.” Janelle, who has always been kinder to Kody, out of all of his wives, took a softer approach. She shared that her word choice was “charismatic.” Janelle defended her choice, adding, “Come on… when he walks into the room, he’s very charismatic.” However, Christine’s anger with her ex was still too fresh to agree. But Janelle revealed she was “over it.” 

Christine Brown is suing Kody Brown for custody of their child 

But Janelle didn’t only have sweet things to say about Kody. As viewers saw during Season 18, she found herself in a major fight with the patriarch, which ended in a door slam and her telling him to “f*ck off.” During her interview, Janelle added, “I do think he’s selfish. I do. And I do think oblivious is probably good. Like, he seems to be sort of like, I don’t know, like the reality is bewildering to him.”

The “We Hate Kody Brown Club” has been ongoing for a few years. And I’m sure Kody is less than impressed. It didn’t help his confidence when Christine slapped him with a lawsuit last month. Kody’s second wife is asking for child support and full custody of their 14-year-old daughter, Truely Brown. Christine filed the paperwork on September 16 and also asked for the court to establish the paternity of Truely since Kody was never named on the birth certificate. On top of that, Christine also asked for a domestic relations injunction that would stop both her and Kody from harassment, domestic violence, canceling or modifying services, and taking the children for nonroutine travel.

Should Kody Brown be cut some slack?

I know this is a touchy subject, but the man has been through the wringer. If he isn’t being yelled at on the show, he is being torn apart in the press. Sister Wives viewers know that Kody is no saint. In fact, he is quite the sinner, especially when it comes to ditching his children. As a bitter man, he cries and throws tantrums, but is this just Kody trying to process his feelings? Yes, to an extent, I would argue that it is. But recently, I have found myself sympathizing with the polygamist, especially as his wives tear him apart.   

Since the day Christine left, she has not stopped throwing little digs at her former husband. Even though she is now remarried and claiming to live a very happy life, she can’t help herself from bashing Kody. There has been more than one time that Christine and her husband, David Woolley, have posted on IG about him. First, the “queen” comment poked at Kody’s “princess ” comment. And then there was the nacho photo, which I admit was pretty clever. But at what point is it just too much hate? Won’t anyone think of the patriarch (insert high pitch church lady voice here)?

Which Pop Songs Best Represent These Bravo Romances?

All the best pop songs are about failed romances. There is no better muse for music than heartbreak. In the same vein, relationship drama makes for great reality television. Bravo relationships, like pop anthems, are all about drama.

In honor of this natural pairing, we’ve compiled a list of pop songs that perfectly sum up some of Bravo’s most notorious relationships.

Please, please, please – Sabrina Carpenter – Ciara Miller and West Wilson

Lyric excerpt: Heartbreak is one thing, My egos another, I beg you don’t embarrass me, motherf*cker

Ciara Miller found love (or at least a summer fling) with West Wilson in Season 8 of Summer House. The newcomer had no trouble adjusting to the group and was easily embraced by his housemates and viewers. He was so popular that viewers were delighted when fan-favorite Ciara became interested in him. We were excited to see her with someone new after witnessing her trainwreck romance with Southern Charm’s Austen Kroll.

She approached the romance with caution and took things very slow. After all, she was burned by a Bravo star in the past. Fans had high hopes that the relationship would continue but unfortunately, West couldn’t play the long game. At the reunion, Ciara tearfully explained how she felt played by her co-star, who continuously downplayed the seriousness of their relationship even after they slept together. Not cool, dude.

I think Sabrina Carpenter’s single “Please, Please, Please” perfectly sums up West and Ciara’s romance. She wanted him to prove that he wasn’t like the others but in the end, he couldn’t live up to the hype.

The Grudge – Olivia Rodrigo – Ariana Madix and Rachel Leviss

Lyric excerpt: And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did, But I hold onto every detail like my life depends on it, My undying love, now, I hold it like a grudge

Olivia Rodrigo’s 2023 song “The Grudge” is about feeling betrayed by someone you felt close to. The song immediately made me think of Scandoval. The lyrics question how a person could be capable of such a betrayal, which I’m sure Ariana Madix can relate to.

Many fans have speculated that the tear-jerker is about Taylor Swift and the infamous copyright battle over Olivia’s song Deja-Vu. The song does feel like it is more about a friendship betrayal than a romantic one. The lyrics made me think about Ariana and Rachel Leviss’ friendship, especially because of one lyric that says, “Do you think I deserved it all? Your flowers filled with vitriol?” In the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 episode Secrets Revealed, Rachel brought Ariana flowers the day after she slept with her boyfriend. It almost fits too perfectly.

Bye – Ariana Grande – Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor

Lyric excerpt: Didn’t think you’d lose me, Now it’s just too late to choose me

Ariana Grande’s 2024 hit “Bye” is about choosing yourself over your marriage. I, of course, thought of Brittany Cartwright. The Valley star filed for divorce from her husband, Jax Taylor, in August 2024 after six months of separation. I think all Bravo fans were happy to see Brittany break away from that relationship. She deserves so much better. As Ariana Grande said, “Boy bye!”

Sharpest tool – Sabrina Carpenter – Tom Schwartz and Jo Wenberg

Lyric excerpt: We were goin’ right, then you took a left, Left me with a lot of shit to second-guess, Guess I’ll waste another year on wonderin’ if, If that was casual, then I’m an idiot

Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Sharpest Tool” is about a situationship in which the line between relationship and casual is seriously blurred. I couldn’t help but think of Tom Schwartz and Jo Wenberg. In Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, Tom Schwartz confused the hell out of the Hairstylist. One minute, he was making “jokes” about them getting married and the next, he would act like she was delusional for thinking they had a future together. I couldn’t help but feel bad for Jo. He was sending her so many mixed signals.

I knew you were trouble – Taylor Swift – Britani Bateman and Jared Osmond

Lyric excerpt: I guess you didn’t care, and I guess I liked that, And when I fell hard, you took a step back

I’m living for Britani Bateman’s relationship drama with Jared Osmond on Season 5 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Jared is waving red flags and Britani is simply pretending not to see them. We’ve all been there. Their toxic dynamic reminds me of Taylor Swift’s 2012 hit, “I Knew You Were Trouble.” He’s bad news yet she can’t help but be with him.
