“$400 Flip Flops!”: Janelle Called Out Sister Wives’ Robyn’s Lavish Lifestyle With Kody

Sister Wives‘ Janelle Brown’s been lashing out lately, as the war over Coyote Pass rages – she’s been talking about unfairness with regard to the family’s finances, and in the past, she even called out Robyn Brown for swanning around in $400 flip-flops. The bitterness is poisoning the atmosphere, and it’s no wonder the Brown family members don’t trust one another anymore. Robyn and Kody seem to be okay, but even they have their problems.

Kody’s song and dance about Coyote Pass feels like a dog and pony show. There’s so much drama and under the bluster, it’s just a haze of indecision. Kody wants to sell, and then he doesn’t – he can’t make up his mind.

Will Life Ever Get Easier For Janelle?

It Seems Like Her Spiritual Union Was A Disaster

Meanwhile, Janelle’s got money problems and probably hopes to get a little cash from the sale of the property. However, she may be left whistling in the wind. That’s because Kody recently said, as per the show:

As usual, Kody’s playing the hero, talking about the sacrifices he made to procure the property. He’s basically saying it all belongs to him, but Janelle said in the past that she had to take out a mortgage to buy her share. It must have cost her some money if she needed to do that. Their land plots reportedly cost $800,000, and there are five of them. When she questions Kody about selling Coyote Pass, she gets so frustrated. Janelle said onscreen:

I’m like, dude, let’s just get it sold, let’s get it divided — however we’re going to do this. But it’s just crickets. It’s just whatever.

Like the Battle of Waterloo, Coyote Pass is a saga. It’s a war that “leader” Kody’s destined to lose. He owns most of the land plots, along with Robyn. However, even if Kody hangs onto the property, or sells it and gets most of the proceeds, he’ll lose in the court of public opinion.

Kody’s blatant bullying over Coyote Pass shows a weakness in the system – something in urgent need of repair. Polygamy can really hurt women, and Kody’s dynamic with his ex shows that the damage doesn’t stop when women leave patriarchs. After Janelle, who’s embarked on a 2025 detox, left Kody, she complained about being in the poorhouse. This is a woman who was, along with Kody, the primary breadwinner in the family.

Robyn Seems To Get Everything

Does She Care About Kody’s Exes?

It’s sad that she ended up with nothing after going out to work for so many years. Meanwhile, Robyn, who had an ill-fated stint designing jewelry for My Sisterwife’s Closet, doesn’t seem to work much at all. Robyn is all about appearing devout, but sometimes, her actions tell a radically different story. She’s not influencing on Instagram, or actively promoting products. However, as the recent listing of her and Kody’s home shows, she has the most of all the Brown women.

Kody and Robyn’s residence was listed for 1.65 million dollars. While Kody and Robyn might need money from the sale, they bought quite an expensive home. That says a lot about their financial world, in contrast to Janelle’s. It’s Robyn’s costly shoes (which might actually be $200 Tory Burch sandals, but still pricey) and fancy house (and whining about her problems) which aren’t so serious as Janelle’s, that has caused a rift between them… one that isn’t really fixable.

Kody and Robyn may be out for themselves – after splits, it’s very common for people to be money-minded. A lot of breakups become battles over resources – joint bank accounts and possessions. This is where the Brown family’s at. It’s dog-eat-dog – something negative that needs to be gotten through. Usually, this type of strife is temporary.

Janelle, who deserves more from Kody and Robyn, in light of the financial contributions she’s made, has every right to be upset, but what can be done? The main issue is just establishing the facts – who really has ownership of the property? Is Robyn, as the legal wife, entitled to a lot more than Janelle and Meri? These questions are important, and ironing out the facts is really the key to understanding exactly what’s happening.

As Meri and Janelle contemplate hiring lawyers, the fabric of the Brown family frays to the breaking point… again. Once again, Kody seems to be doing all that he can to make the lives of his exes miserable. However, he doesn’t seem very happy himself. Kody’s life feels insular – he’s notably bitter. He’s not a cheery or confident man.

Of course, he should sell Coyote Pass and give the exes money they’re rightfully entitled to, and he should do it soon, in order to ease any financial problems they might have. That’s why it seems like he’s using his majority ownership of the property as leverage. Kody’s not always a gentleman – that is clear. However, it’s never too late to change.

Janelle is a mother – she has children that need her, and she may want to give them things, even though they’re on the older side. They are very nice children. What Sister Wives‘ Kody Brown loses sight of, while pushing what seems to be a childish vendetta, is the fact that some of the victims are innocent. That’s why it’s important for him to respect the Browns who aren’t a part of, as Robyn cuttingly put it, the “core family.” Can he find the maturity to fact facts and do what’s right? Based on his conduct to date, probably not.
