Janelle to Robyn Brown: “We Will NEVER BE Friends Because of What You Did to MY Family!”
Janelle to Robyn Brown: “We Will NEVER BE Friends Because of What You Did to MY Family!”
Hey everyone, it’s Katie from Without a Crystal Ball—welcome back! Today, we’re digging into the deep emotional rift between Sister Wives stars Janelle Brown and Robyn Brown, and why Janelle has firmly stated that they will never be friends again.In a recent episode, Robyn revealed that she had reached out to Janelle, hoping to repair their fractured relationship. But Janelle’s response was sharp, direct, and brutally honest:
“There’s a lot of hurt in our history. I don’t think I want to go back there again.”
So what exactly did Robyn do that Janelle sees as unforgivable?
Robyn’s Arrival Shook the Family’s Foundation
When Robyn entered the Brown family, things were already strained—especially financially. At the time, Janelle and Kody were working full-time to support their large family. Mary had a part-time job, and Christine was a stay-at-home mom. Then Robyn came in, with three children of her own, and was not expected to work.Kody decided Robyn would stay home to help Christine with the kids. But instead of feeling supported, Janelle felt exploited. She was working long hours while watching the family’s financial burden grow. She saw Robyn as an added expense, not a helping hand.
“I’m angry, and yes—it’s completely logical to be angry,” Janelle said at the time.
Clashing Parenting Styles and Interference
Beyond money, Janelle took serious issue with Robyn’s parenting style. Robyn was emotional, overprotective, and often interfered in parenting decisions that didn’t involve her own kids.One infamous clash involved Robyn criticizing Janelle’s daughter Maddie for wanting to attend a Christian youth group outside of their faith.
“You always said we could choose our church,” Maddie pushed back.
That moment deeply angered Janelle, who had always supported letting the kids choose their own paths. Robyn, on the other hand, believed the children needed to follow the family’s strict religious doctrine. Janelle felt Robyn was overstepping boundaries, and worse—trying to control her children’s lives.
“The Damsel” & Robyn’s Hold on Kody
Janelle didn’t stop there. She also criticized how Robyn manipulated her relationship with Kody, calling her a “damsel” who always needed rescuing.
“Robyn was constantly playing helpless—always needing Kody to solve her problems,” Janelle said.
She believed Robyn used emotional manipulation to monopolize Kody’s attention, pushing the other wives—and their kids—out of the picture. That’s not just frustrating; to Janelle, it was betrayal.
The Final Straw: “You Hurt My Family”
Janelle’s anger isn’t just about money or clashing values. It’s about how Robyn’s presence, influence, and actions damaged the family Janelle fought to protect.
“We’re not friends. We will never be friends,” Janelle stated.
“Because of what you did to my family.”
That level of pain doesn’t go away easily. Janelle sees Robyn not just as a difficult person, but as the reason her family fell apart—emotionally, financially, and relationally.
Where Things Stand Today
While Robyn continues to express a desire for unity, Janelle’s mind seems made up. There’s no going back.The Sister Wives dynamic is more fractured than ever, and for Janelle, forgiveness doesn’t mean friendship.
Final Thoughts
Janelle Brown’s message to Robyn is clear: “You crossed the line—and the damage is done.” As Sister Wives continues to unravel the Browns’ complicated family dynamics, one thing is clear: this isn’t just reality TV drama. For Janelle, it’s personal. And it cuts deep.Let me know if you’d like this reformatted into a YouTube script, a caption for TikTok or Instagram, or a blog post for your site!
