The latest Sister Wives episode saw tensions boil over. Meri and Janelle Brown confronted years of financial issues in the Brown family. The spotlight is now on Kody Brown.
He is the self-appointed gatekeeper of the family’s finances. The two women have uncovered shocking truths about the polygamous family’s money management.
For years, viewers believed Janelle was in charge of managing the family’s pooled finances. However, in a candid talk with Meri, Janelle revealed the truth.
She only did the bookkeeping, while Kody had sole access to the funds. Janelle Brown shared, “If I had control of the money, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in today.”
This revelation stunned Meri, who admitted she had placed her trust in Kody to fairly manage the family’s assets. Janelle warned Meri to protect her share of the family’s assets, especially their investment in the Coyote Pass property.

Sister Wives: Meri Faces Backlash Over “Betraying” Janelle Brown
In a shocking betrayal, fans, Meri Brown later relayed Janelle Brown’s warning to Kody and Robyn in a separate chat. Critics accused Meri of “throwing Janelle under the bus” by sharing the private exchange.
Meri Brown, however, defended her actions. She said her talk with Janelle was filmed and not a secret. She addressed the backlash in a livestream, stating, “Janelle and I actually talked about this yesterday. She didn’t feel I threw her under the bus, and we’re all cool.”
Despite her clarification, viewers remain divided. Some fans sympathize with Meri, arguing she was simply navigating a complex situation. Others believe her actions undermined Janelle’s trust.
Sister Wives: The Real Villain? Fans Point Fingers at Kody
While Meri and Janelle Brown faced scrutiny, a growing number of fans are shifting their focus to Kody. Over the years, Kody has been vocal about his fear of going broke, a concern that seemingly justified his tight grip on the family’s finances.
However, fans aren’t buying his reasoning. “Kody’s the one who needs to answer for this,” one viewer argued. “He controlled everything and left everyone else in the dark.”
Another fan added, “Meri and Janelle shouldn’t be fighting. The real issue is Kody’s unwillingness to be transparent.”
Kody’s lack of clear communication about Coyote Pass has deepened tensions over the family’s assets. Janelle has expressed her frustration, stating, “If I had my way, we’d have this resolved already.”
