‘Sister Wives’ Money and Property Dispute Revealed

Access Hollywood via YouTube

The drama surrounding “Sister Wives” continues as Janelle Brown reveals the complexities of her financial situation following her split from Kody Brown in 2022. As tensions rise, the issues regarding property ownership and financial contributions among the wives come to the forefront, particularly concerning Robyn Brown’s home in Flagstaff, Arizona.

In the September 22 episode of the TLC series, Janelle discusses how all four wives—including his former partners Christine Brown and Meri Brown—contributed to the down payment on Robyn’s home.

However, Janelle alleges that Kody refused to allow her name on the mortgage. “When I put the money into the house, I said, ‘Well, I think it would be fair if all of our names were on the mortgage,’” Janelle recalls to her and Kody’s daughter Madison Brush. “And he’s like, ‘No, no, we need to protect, you know, protect Robyn’s estate. She needs to have it so it’s hers and so it’s ours.’”

This lack of clarity around financial contributions has left Janelle feeling undervalued, and she is now seeking to “recoup some of the money” she put toward Robyn’s home. However, the situation is further complicated by Robyn’s perspective. In her confessional, Robyn admits that the lines between financial responsibilities are blurred, stating, “We were working together for so long, and we didn’t actually stop working together until, you know, just recently.” She questions how to fairly calculate what is owed, highlighting the confusing nature of their intertwined finances.

As tensions escalate, Kody and Janelle’s communication deteriorates. Janelle accuses him of avoiding discussions about their shared assets, particularly regarding Coyote Pass, a piece of property that holds significant value for the family.

Kody agrees, expressing his frustration: “I’m tired of disclosing information that goes through the gossip mill of our broken family.” This lack of transparency leads Janelle to consider legal action, saying, “We’ve got to pay it off, and he’s not talking to me about it. So I think I’m going to have to lawyer up, I think, because I think that’s the only way I’m ever going to get any kind of decision out of him.”

Janelle further reveals her suspicions about Kody’s financial priorities, suggesting he has “other debts” that take precedence. “But yet I’ve watched him add,” she tells Madison. “Like, he keeps buying assets that he sits on trailers and blah, blah and blah, blah, blah. I see all the art on their walls. I see all these things, and that’s fine. I have money and we spend it on things too.”

Meanwhile, the drama surrounding the Flagstaff home is intensifying as Kody and Robyn’s residence was put on the market on August 29 for $1.65 million. However, the property has yet to be sold, according to realtor.com. It remains unclear whether Janelle will successfully navigate her financial entanglements with Kody and Robyn following the airing of these revelations.

As the season unfolds, viewers are left to wonder how the dynamics of this polygamous family will evolve in the face of legal and financial disputes. E! News has reached out to representatives for Kody and Robyn for comments on the sale of Robyn’s home, as well as for updates on Janelle’s efforts to reclaim her financial contributions, but no response has been received at this time.
