How Janelle Brown Addressed Kody’s Accusation That He Felt Objectified By Her

After Janelle Brown openly admitted she would prefer to stay separated from Kody Brown in a September 2023 episode of “Sister Wives,” the patriarch flipped the script on her and accused Janelle of objectifying him. In a candid moment with TLC’s cameras following their meetup, Kody said, “Janelle’s not in love with me. I think she thinks I’m hot. I’ve got nice pecs and great six-pack abs, but that’s all she’s interested in.” Janelle denied being superficial in her own confessional and stressed that she wanted a deeper emotional connection in a relationship.

When revisiting the situation with the special’s host Sukanya Krishnan in November 2023, Janelle couldn’t keep a straight face. “Could you believe that?” she asked Krishnan after watching Kody’s confessional, bursting into laughter. The former sister wife shared that while her marriage to Kody was stable, the emotional part of their union she sought was lacking.

When Kody had his turn with Krishnan, he continued his narrative. “Janelle has always seen me as a physical specimen and as a resource, and [she never] really dove into my humanity,” he said dramatically. Yet, it seems that Kody is once again fixating on pinpointing flaws in others instead of acknowledging his own part in the breakdown of his marriage with Janelle.
