“Sister Wives Janelle Brown” recently opened up about hidden financial moves she discovered during her marriage to Kody Brown. The 55-year-old star, who left Kody over two years ago, admitted that her role as the family bookkeeper gave her insights into questionable spending patterns. In the early years of their plural marriage, she maintained a shared system of paying bills and allocating money. However, she says Kody later withdrew large sums without transparent explanations, leaving her frustrated and concerned about their collective funds.
Disputes Over Money and Property
During the latest Sister Wives episode, Janelle noted that her financial oversight functioned strictly as record-keeping. She recorded transactions and passed them to an accountant, contrary to Kody’s claims that she was in total control. Tensions rose further when the family discussed the future of Coyote Pass, a sizable piece of land purchased by Kody, Janelle, and two of his other ex-wives, Meri and Christine. Since all three wives have now departed the plural marriage, they must decide how to fairly split the property and its potential value.
How Sister Wives Janelle Brown Handled Bookkeeping
Janelle managed the family accounts by tracking expenses, paying shared bills, and clarifying each spouse’s financial obligations. She says this system worked until Kody began making unexpected withdrawals. His perspective, however, suggests that he needed funds for the other wives and his many children. Janelle contends that while he had broad responsibilities, his vague approach to major expenses caused confusion and resentment.
These revelations highlight ongoing conflicts within their former arrangement, particularly regarding trust and fair treatment. As Janelle moves forward, she hopes her truth will clarify the breakdown of their finances. Meanwhile, Kody maintains that his large family obligations justified the spending.
