Janelle Brown is taking a second look at her marriage to Kody Brown after their split — including their finances.

“I never felt like I had much control over my own money because everybody was pulling from the same [account],” Janelle, 55, told Christine Brown during the Sunday, January 26, episode of Sister Wives.

Janelle, who was Kody’s second wife, noted that it was “great” to have a family fund when they were a plural unit. Looking back, however, she claimed money became an issue for everyone. (Janelle announced her separation from Kody, 55, in December 2022 after Christine, 52, left their mutual spouse in November 2021.)

“We set our family up that way. But, like, toward the end, it was just really hard,” Janelle said. “When we all first started, there was kind of like this thing [where] we weighed in on what bills should be paid, how we were going to pay, who got priority.”

Kody — who at one point was married to Janelle and Christine as well as Meri Brown and Robyn Brown — denied the accusations that he spent money without cause. (Meri, 53, and Kody confirmed their split in January 2023. He is still married to Robyn, 46.)

“I was a father to 18 and a husband to more than just Janelle,” Kody quipped. “So we had a lot of places that money needed to go that weren’t always Janelle’s business.”He explained that since Janelle was “doing the bookkeeping” for the family, she saw all the transactions without the reasoning come across her desk. “So, some of the bills to be paid by all of us were supposed to be paid by her,” Kody added.

Janelle, meanwhile, argued that she didn’t have as much access to the funds as Kody claimed.

“He loves this mantra that somehow I was [the] all powerful one with all the financial control,” Janelle fired back, insisting, “I really was just the person who recorded the transactions and sent them to the CPA.”

Earlier this season, Janelle claimed that Kody had been spreading lies about how much sway she had with their family finances. She alleged that Kody told Meri during their marriage that Janelle was “controlling the money,” which wasn’t the case.“I’m like, ‘Dude, man, if I controlled the money, we would have paid off [Coyote Pass and] built a house,’” Janelle told Christine during the November 24 episode. She alleged that she simply recorded “what was spent and sent it to the accountant.”

Kody didn’t clear up the misconception at the time, telling the cameras, “It’s funny, my other wives remember Janelle controlling the money.” He admitted that he “sort of guided where the money went” but claimed that they “all had access to the account.”On Sunday’s episode, Janelle and Meri were finally on the same page about money — and their ongoing land dispute with Kody and Robyn. Kody’s ex-wives agreed to each get their own lawyers so they could get an equal share of the family’s Coyote Pass property in Arizona.
