Kody Brown has long been deemed as having a favorite wife, a speculation he had always denied.

He openly blamed Christine Brown for starting that notion.

“The words that Christine uses incite enmity toward Robyn [Brown].

She never did anything to Christine but be kind to her.”

He further went on to explain that the wives who felt that he had a favorite had character issues.

“Or do you want to sit here and be the one who is trash-talking me?”

Janelle Brown has spoken out about what Kody presumes is her lack of loyalty.

“I thought I’d been loyal.

I thought Christine had been loyal.

But apparently, we’re not loyal enough.”

In her opinion, Kody holds loyalty over her head as a punishment or reward.

“I’m saying to you that you and I get that if you’re loyal to me.”

“I’m telling Janelle just to be loyal,” he told the cameras during a confessional.

“I have 100 percent loyalty from Robyn,” he said.

“So, okay, yeah, I guess that’s (being) like Robyn.

I’m just asking for loyalty.

I’m asking to be the head of my household.”

“I mean here he is saying blatantly what I suspected,” she said.

Fans of “Sister Wives” openly revere Janelle for her ability to be a strong woman.

“I’m not gonna be this person,” Janelle says.

“I’m not gonna become Robyn.”

He then, seemingly out of nowhere, turned the tables on Janelle.
