Janelle, who was Cody’s second wife, said it was “awesome” to have Family trust if they were multiple units. Looking back, however, she said money became a problem for everyone. (Janelle announced her split from Cody, 55, in December 2022 after Christina, 52, left her mutual spouse in November 2021.)
“We put our family this way. But, like, until the end, It was just really hardJanelle said. “When we all first started, it was like this thing (where) we weighed which bills had to be paid, how we were going to pay, which got priority.”
TLC/YouTube Janelle Brown revealed during the latest episode of “Sister Wives” that she blamed her family’s money problems — especially Cody Brown. Janelle, 55, told Christina Brown on the Sunday, November 24, episode of TLC that after talking to Mary Brown one episode, she realized that Cody, 55, (…)
She claimed: “And then for the last few years Cody has just been withdrawing funds, and I don’t know what. And the money has just been spent – and a lot of it.”
Cody – who at one point was married to Janelle and Christina as well Mary Brown and Robin Brown – denied accusations that he spent money for no reason. (Mary, 53, and Cody confirmed their split in January 2023. He is still married to Robin, 46.)
“I was a father to 18 and a husband to more than just Janelle,” Cody gushed. “So we had a lot of places that needed money to go that weren’t always Janelle’s business.”
He explained that because Jenelle “did the bookkeeping” for the family, she saw all the transactions without having cash on her desk. “So some of the bills that all of us have to pay had to be paid by her,” Cody added.
Janelle, meanwhile, claimed she didn’t have the same access to funds as Cody claimed.
“He loves this mantra that I was somehow (all) all powerful with all the financial control,” Janelle tweeted, insisting “I was really just the person who recorded the deals and sent them to the CPA.”

“I’m like, ‘Dude, man, if I was in control of the money, we would have paid off (Coyote Pass and) built a house,'” Christine said during the Nov. 24 episode. She claimed she just wrote down “what was spent and sent it accountant”.
At the time, Cody didn’t read the misconception, telling the cameras, “It’s funny, my other wives remember how Janelle controls the money.” He admitted that he “kind of controlled where the money went,” but claimed that “they all had access to the account.”
Sunday’s episode featured Jenelle and Mary Finally on the same page about money – and their ongoing land dispute with Cody and Robin. Cody’s ex-wives agreed to each get their own attorneys so they could receive an equal share of the Coyote family’s Arizona estate.
After Christina’s split from Cody, she transferred her portion of the land to ex-husband and fourth wife Robyn. Janelle and Mary, however, are still in business and therefore want to sell and cash in on their respective assets.
“I believed it would all work out in the end. And looking back now, I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s really stupid. Why didn’t I insist that we were all named for all the pieces? ” Janelle said. “I was just too trusting.”
When talking to Mary about what they owed, the women said they “paid for the land out of the family account” and “paid for it equally.”
Janelle Brown was overcome with emotion as she pondered her next steps after blowing up with Cody Brown on Sister Wives. On the Sunday, Sept. 10, episode of the TLC reality series, viewers saw Janelle and Cody, both 54, dealing with the aftermath of the Spat that took place the week before. With tears (…)
However, Cody claimed that was not the case. “We did not pay for the coyote to pass all the same. I paid for the whole part myself, at least 92 percent, “- he said. “In the rest of the property, we all crashed.”
Various memories led to even more tension between Cody and the women. “I feel like Cody and Robin probably have some plan for what they want to do and how they want to go about it. I think Janelle has some plan and I know I do too,” Mary explained. “And none of us talk to each other because none of us trust each other.”
Cody told the cameras he was “working on it,” but “Take your time” to do it. “I’m not your servant boss,” he said of his exes.
Janelle, meanwhile, revealed during the confessional that she just wants the land use issues “because that’s the only thing that still connects me to Cody and Robin.” She added: “I’m ready to just close this chapter.”
