Janelle Brown, a prominent figure in TLC’s reality series Sister Wives, has indicated that she may be considering leaving the show after over a decade following her separation from Kody Brown. In a recent Instagram post, Brown, 56, shared a reflective message that resonated with many fans, leading to speculation about her future on the series.
In December 2022, Brown publicly announced her spiritual separation from Kody, marking a significant shift in her personal life. Over the weekend, she posted a video of a sunset accompanied by the words, “Women don’t break. We shed. And what’s underneath is even stronger.” The accompanying caption elaborated on her journey through life changes, including her divorce and the challenges of starting anew in midlife.
Brown expressed her feelings about these transitions, stating, “I used to think I’d ‘broken’ at certain points in my life. Leaving the show… leaving a marriage… starting over at an age where everyone expects you to have it all figured out.” She continued, “But now, standing where I am, I can see it differently. None of those moments were breaking points. They were shedding points.”
This introspective message resonated strongly with her audience, prompting numerous comments that interpreted it as a signal of her possible exit from Sister Wives. One follower remarked, “If you’re leaving, I hope it’s for a new show about yourself.” Another added, “Thank you for sharing your life on TLC. You’ve gotta do what’s right for you.”
In her Instagram Stories, Janelle mentioned that “life feels quieter” and that she is taking time to “heal.” The Utah native, who has six children with Kody, faced significant tensions during the latest season of Sister Wives, particularly regarding their shared property at Coyote Pass. According to reports from The U.S. Sun, the family divided approximately $1.5 million from the land after months of disputes.
Janelle’s relationship with Kody has been strained, especially as their children have increasingly distanced themselves from their father. Their children include Logan, Madison, Hunter, Gabriel, Savannah, and Garrison, who tragically died by suicide in March 2023 at the age of 25. As Janelle navigates her new reality, she has remained close to her adult children, providing them with support during these challenging times.
If Janelle decides to leave the show, she would follow in the footsteps of fellow cast members Christine and Meri, making Robyn the only remaining wife in the polygamous family dynamic that has been a focal point of the series.
As fans await further updates on Janelle’s decision, her candid reflections offer a glimpse into her personal journey and the complexities of life after reality television.
