Sister Wives’ Kody and Janelle Accuse Each Other of ‘Gaslighting’

Screaming Match Unfolds Between Kody Brown and Janelle Brown on Latest ‘Sister Wives’ Episode

Tensions soared on the recent episode of “Sister Wives” as Kody Brown and Janelle Brown found themselves embroiled in a heated argument, exposing the cracks in their relationship.

The former couple, who publicly separated in December 2022, engaged in a fiery exchange on the Sunday, September 3rd episode of the TLC series. Accusations of “gaslighting” were hurled by both parties as emotions ran high.

Kody, 54, expressed his concerns in a confessional, drawing parallels between his deteriorating relationship with Janelle and his previous split from third wife, Christine, in 2021. He worried about repeating history and lamented Janelle’s seeming insensitivity to his feelings.

During the episode, which was filmed in December 2022, Janelle, 54, revealed her plans to spend Christmas with their six children. Kody had initially stipulated that their sons Garrison and Gabe must apologize to fourth wife Robyn Brown before attending the family celebration. He later changed this condition, wanting only to discuss their disregard for COVID-19 rules. Kody accused Janelle of twisting his words and misrepresenting him.

In response, Janelle accused Kody of constantly shifting blame. The clash escalated as Kody maintained that Janelle’s lack of support during the pandemic allowed their sons to flout his rules. Janelle, feeling torn between Kody and their children, drew comparisons to accusations Kody had made against other wives in the past.

Kody persisted, claiming he was tired of being “gaslit” by Janelle, prompting a sharp retort from her. She accused him of using excuses and trying to deflect responsibility onto her. The argument reached a boiling point as both exchanged pointed remarks.

Janelle pointed out that Kody attempted to force her into a choice between his strict rules and their children. However, the argument eventually revealed deeper-seated issues within their relationship.

As the argument concluded, Janelle questioned Kody’s commitment to their plural marriage, suggesting that he was pushing her away. She noted that he had ridiculed her in front of their sons and questioned if they had ever truly been a team.

Following Kody’s dramatic exit, Janelle shared her shock at the escalation of events. She expressed doubts about their future as a couple and revealed that she swiftly reached a decision to end things. Less than an hour later, she asked Kody to retrieve his belongings, signaling the end of their relationship.

“Sister Wives” airs on TLC on Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
