The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has everyone talking, including Sister Wives star Janelle Brown. Janelle has spent years in Mormon culture and polygamy. Yet, the Hulu series surprised her with the women’s unconventional lifestyles.
“I didn’t know about them until this trip, and I had to do the deep dive,” Janelle shared with Us Weekly. What she discovered left her stunned. “I’m like, ‘Wow. “It’s not the Mormons that I know.” Her reaction shows how different the Hulu cast’s experiences are from her own conservative upbringing.
The series spotlights eight women as they navigate marriage, motherhood, and faith in their own rebellious ways. Some cast members admit to breaking strict LDS rules.
They include drinking alcohol and having pre-marital sex. Janelle expressed her shock, noting, “The Mormons I know, they’re so conservative… very salt of the earth, very traditional. These ladies are not traditional.”
Not enough Janelle in the past two episodes of #SisterWives I adore @JanelleBrown117 & her kids-Maddie & Hunter are so fun to watch. Janelle has been keeping it real and I’m loving every bit of it! Please @TLC we need less Robyn & Kody’s lying ways & far more Janelle & fam scenes pic.twitter.com/W7cZdmSrap

Sister Wives: Christine Brown Woolley and Janelle Keep an Open Mind
Janelle Brown and her friend Christine Brown Woolley were surprised. They both left Kody Brown and the polygamous lifestyle. They made clear they aren’t judging. Instead, they’re curious and even open to connecting with some of the women from the show.
“It’s exciting,” Christine said, adding, “[I’m] hoping to meet them. I’m just saying.” The idea of meeting women who practice their faith so differently piques their interest.
Christine and Janelle’s fascination reflects a broader curiosity. It is about the diverse expressions of Mormon faith in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which has been renewed for a second season.
Even celebrities tied to the LDS faith, like Dancing With The Stars pros Lindsay Arnold and Ezra Sosa, have weighed in. Lindsay knows several cast members and has no complaints.
Ezra playfully wished to join the series. “We grew up Mormon, and we grew up from Utah, so we watch that, I’m like, ‘Facts, sis,’” Ezra humorously told PEOPLE.
Sister Wives: Fans Are Loving Janelle Brown’s “Unbothered” Attitude on Sister Wives
While The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives shows LDS life, Sister Wives fans love a different revelation: Janelle Brown’s carefree, empowered attitude. Season 18 has shown a big change in Janelle. She has moved on from the heartbreak of her split from Kody Brown.
Kody, who has only one wife now – Robyn Brown – is dealing with the fallout of three back-to-back separations. Janelle left Kody soon after Christine, and Meri followed later. But while Kody grapples with the loss, Janelle seems completely unbothered by the drama.
“She hit the ‘indifference’ phase,” one fan noted. “She’s not just over it. She’s completely moved past it.”
Another viewer praised Janelle’s new outlook: “Janelle’s laugh and don’t-give-a-sh*t attitude give me such joy! I need to be more like her in my life.” Social media is full of admiration for Janelle, who radiates newfound confidence and independence.
Sister Wives: Janelle Leaves Kody Behind and Thrives as a Single Woman
It’s clear Janelle Brown has found peace in living life on her own terms. Her split from Kody marked a turning point, and fans can’t get enough of the strong, independent version of her.
This season, Janelle doesn’t care about Kody’s criticisms or what he says behind her back. She’s focused on her happiness, a shift that many have waited years to see.
“Unbothered Janelle is my favorite,” a fan tweeted. Janelle’s resilience and her refusal to let Kody’s views affect her make her a standout star of Sister Wives’ latest chapter.
