I don’t know.”
During an interview with People in 2023, Kody’s now ex-wife Janelle expressed that her split with Kody Brown was a sort of a “burden” being off her chest. She also claimed that Brown’s ex-wife Christine’s split with Brown acted as an inspiration for her to do the same too.
Janelle said, “It was heartbreaking for me because all of a sudden, the family had this different identity, but I still felt like I should be loyal out of obligation.” She continued, “If [Christine] hadn’t left, I might’ve stayed. This burden came off me, and I thought, ‘Wow. Okay, it’s over.'”
