‘Sister Wives’ Meri & Janelle Aren’t Done With Polygamy — Even After Escaping Kody

A lot has changed on Sister Wivessince it debuted on TLC in 2010 – namely, the fact that it’s no longer about a polygamous family. While the show began with Kody Brown having four wives, he’s now down to one, as his controversial behavior led three of his wives to finally throw in the towel. Christine was the first to leave in November 2021, citing Kody’s emotional neglect and favoritism toward Robyn as her main motivators. Janelle followed in December 2022, after ongoing disagreements about parenting, money, and living arrangements. Meri was the last to go, officially parting ways with the family in 2023, after years of feeling emotionally abandoned by Kody – something he didn’t deny.
