Janelle Brown Calls Out Kody’s Failings And TLC Fans Cheer
Janelle Brown from Sister Wives was cheered by viewers after she called out Kody Brown to his face for being a failure.
Well, it’s not the first time she gave it straight to him. Read on find out what she did this time. Note, this article contains some spoilers from TLC’s Season 19 One-On-One Part 2 Tell All.
Calling Out Kody
During Sunday night’s episode, Sukanya Krishnan finally told Kody not to get in her face. But, it was Janelle who got the most kudos for what she said to her former spiritual husband. She admitted that she really doesn’t like Robyn Brown or Kody.
She’d always been open to a friendly relationship, but they killed it for her during the COVID years.

During a conversation with Kody, Janelle talked about her need for clearer communication and reassurance about her place in their relationship. Kody, however, consistently sidestepped any mention of Robyn, making it difficult to move forward..
The basis of their disagreement came from Janelle’s attempt to confirm that Robyn had revealed a private discussion they’d had. Kody’s refusal to acknowledge that only confirmed Janelle’s belief that honest, transparent conversations with him were never going to happen.
Fans Cheer The Candid Accusation
On Reddit, in a mega-thread about the episode, TLC fans decided that they love Janelle Brown for saying that Kody’s a failure. One of them wrote, “Wow! Janelle called Kody a failure! Pretty significant.”
Here are a few more reactions that showered praise on the mom of Logan, Maddie, Gabe, Hunter, Savanah, and the late Garrison Brown:
- I’m here for more of Janelle’s snarky comments…
- Kody acts like he ended with Janelle, when in reality she said no enough, Im over it.
- … in the one snippet when Janelle asked Kody how he knew something she had said that he was not privy to, he cut her off and would not answer. Of course we all know who told him…Robyn.
- “I just don’t like them”… Janelle saying what we all think.
- I just don’t like them HAHAHAHAHA go off girl.
- I am here for the Jenelle! I love when she sends a jab to K and R.
- Bless Janelle bc I could never be friendly to that asshole.
Other Interesting Takeaways
Sukanya was also praised because for the first time, she gave it back to Kody Brown. In fact, she called him a “baby” and he seemed unhappy with that.

People have long criticized her for not being strong enough to ask him the hard questions in the past. However, some fans think she might not host another Tell-All because she upset Kody, who seems to be blameless in the eyes of the TLC team.
