Sister Wives star Christine Brown announced that she got a buyer for her Flagstaff home but before that, Kody wanted Janelle to buy it. Why was that? In some ways it made sense, but in other ways, it seemed like an unrealistic expectation for his second wife. What was in it for Kody, should rather be the question.
Sister Wives Christine Brown Did Not sell Her House to Janelle
Janelle Brown lived in a rental and when it was sold from under her, she moved into her RV. Remember, the whole family traipsed around looking at it and Kody sneered. So did Robyn’s kids, who made out that Savanah’s room was for their dogs. Meanwhile, Meri had to walk out after imagining Kody getting cozy with Janelle in the RV. While TLC fans slammed Kody, Janelle admitted that she made the decision to camp out because she’d always wanted that lifestyle. Additionally, she owned her property on Coyote Pass, so it made sense to use it.
While there were arguments about where the Sister Wives star should live, Christine made her own plans. She kicked Kody to the curb in Season 16. Ahead of that, leaks suggested she found a buyer for her property. Actually, there were some raised eyebrows because Kody took his name off the title deed. Along the road to losing Christine as his wife forever, Kody felt it would be great if Janelle purchased the home.
Sister Wives – Janelle Buying The Home Made Sense?
Any normal family situation might suggest that there was a need for a home for Janelle, and Christine happened to have a home for sale. But with Kody, TLC fans learned long ago to look for deeper and more personal motivations. So, many people doubt that the idea was altruistic. Christine wanted out, carted all of Kody’s stuff to the garage, and basically dumped him. She was on her way to Utah and she wasn’t waiting for the big house debate to end.
Sister Wives fans took to Reddit recently, to talk about why Kody tried pushing Janelle into buying the property. Most people believed that it was unrealistic to expect his second wife to live in the same house he formerly shared with his third wife. Mind you, judging by Season 17, there wasn’t very much rumpy-pumpy going on there. U/BritniP93 suggested, “Since Janelle was so “disloyal”, why not punish her… by tying her to a home that she didn’t like, didn’t want, and didn’t align with her plans for their future.”
Disadvantage For Christine?
The commenter also wondered if the Sister Wives’ patriarch just wanted to mess with Christine by delaying the sale, or by making her lose money on it. In the various discussions, it seems that most people agree that Kody wanted the house because he assumed he owned everything his wives had. After all these years, he became so used to claiming what they worked for, that he assumed ownership in his own mind. In fact, some people even think that until David Woolley came along, he probably presumed that spiritually, Christine still belonged to him.
Do you think Janelle made a wise decision when she refused to buy Christine Brown’s house? Do you think Kody’s sole motivation was simply to retain that feeling now ownership of what belonged to Christine? Let us know in the comments below
