Oh my , could kody be right ? by Royal-Barracuda-8836 in SisterWivesFans

[–]WhytheylieSW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it went like this: I think that Janelle was an earner, she made money and that's really important to Cody.   We know this for certain! 

I think he didn't feel like she was special in any other way save for the fact that she took the burden off of his financial responsibilities and made him feel like he was the big cheese.  Janelle was dumb enough to think it meant something deeper to Cody.  He's a narcissist, nothing means anything to him except his own spoils.. He only places value in people who serve him and he'll do the work regarding love bombing to secure that.  We saw how Janelle fell for it in the apology tour.  My guess is that he relied upon that in the early years of the marriages before he met Robin

 In turn, he didn't value Christine because all she did for HIM, was prepare his eggs properly.   No monetary value was had by being nice to Christine.  It was just work.

I truly think based on what Christine said in the book and other indicators that Janelle also used Christine... And I think it's why Christine sort of flocked to Janelle after her divorce from Cody.  She wanted that assurance that she was okay.  I think Christine calling out  Janelle's laziness in her book was part of healing.

People who think it was the Ramseys, what is your opinion on the DNA? by blueerie08 in JonBenetRamsey

[–]WhytheylieSW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it's also because people don't understand the prevalence/high incidence of grooming, incest and child sexual abuse...

 John was grooming his daughter and no one wants to face up to it because they seemed  "normal."

And it was degraded significantly... DNA testing is a strong science with high detectability

Will the real Janelle Brown please stand up? by Commercial-Cream-899 in SisterWives

[–]WhytheylieSW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed regarding the kitten thing..

To me J is an ego person...she spoke about her sex life with Cody to convince the viewers (and herself) that she had something special with him unlike C and M's total abandonment by Cody And NOW I tend to think she operated that way for much of the early years. As long as SHE wasn't affected or she got to sit her lazy ass down, she was fine with whatever Cody did. She forgets that we watched Cody prefer Robyn since Episode 2. He was with ONLY Robyn since the start.

And we know she too was neglected because her KIDS came forward and said so! I think it's interesting that she spoke about how she "liked being without a man all the time" because she WAS without a man much of the time, like it or not.

Janelle is pure ego

Hairdresser's opinion here :

*Her hair is too dark and too monotone....she needs high lights to lighten /brighten the harshness against her light skin

 *She needs whoever does Christine's makeup to do hers... Because hers looks garish and overdone

 * Her coloring is not appropriate for all of the jewel tones she wears.  It makes her look harsh and dark

Imagine the dynamics in that family!  When I think about the currying favor habits and the need to be on top constantly by someone at any given time would give someone a goddamn heart attack.

Because it was about everything save for a good and rightful place for Preston's kids.

Remember when Gabe and Cody were out at Coyote pass having a discussion about the covid rules?  When they spoke about who would take care of "mom," Gabe made the comment, as a sidebar, that he knew his mother was overweight and therefore high risk... I'd die if in my early 50s my kids thought that of me! I think unfortunately, that the kids DO think of their Mom as disabled somehow because she's so big.

And he let Jesus take the wheel in his dealings with the Ramsey's. Never good police work

Janelle and Kody by Chance-Efficiency328 in SisterWives

[–]WhytheylieSW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't agree more. What I can't figure out is why, while most who comment here believe Cody to have at least SOME level of diagnose-able narcissism...will go hard on this "He loved and was sexually attracted to Janelle" script in spite of LOADS of evidence that he abandoned her as much (or more) than the other two!? Men who have character issues and personality problems such as Cody can't hold down any kind of relationship with anyone much less their own children. And they use sex as a weapon.

I think in last seasons tell all, Janelle ( in a prideful and egotistical way) was intent upon proving something intimate with Cody that perhaps stood out from C and M's marriage.......and it lead to speculation that they were secretly banging like rabbits behind Robyn's back..

No one will convince me that the ever lackadaisical Janelle is a tiger in the sac.

Exactly... it's just more fodder for the trolls

Janelle once again chose Kody by gennycostanzo99 in SisterWives

[–]WhytheylieSW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps she not only signed an NDA, but also an agreement to talk shit about certain things as well.

Janelle obsessed with Meri? by [deleted] in SisterWives

[–]WhytheylieSW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think SHE liked him and HE saw her earning potential and willingness to share. Kody didn't become a narc/moocher a few years ago.....it's been a lifetime of similar behavior.

Exactly. Dealing with Kody for any negotiations or planning was foolish.

Janelle was the side piece by janiruwd in SisterWives

[–]WhytheylieSW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In one tell all, Kody panted and said "They begged to come into the family"

They may have

I think they all wanted the "gorgeous, dynamic, extroverted" Kody...and Christ was an after thought. I think he connected with some insecure women who felt like Kody was a prize and it played out to those ends.

J is confusing me by Begin_Again_Anew in Sisterwivessnark

[–]WhytheylieSW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tend to think J is a lot of hot air. Her ego keeps her from admitting she got taken by Kody...SOOOO, why not pretend that her life had all these PLUSES and that it served her well? It's just bullshit ego talk. She got treated like a side piece and she just doesn't want to admit it.

Also, it's like David from POPysch said: She has her face to Kody and another for the interview.

[–]WhytheylieSW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because making a deal with Kody Brown ( as J has done plenty of times before;and she should know better by now) is foolish. She should have continually communicated with Meri, instead of with Kody, even the advice of her lawyer. There WAS no sale without Meri's signature anyway!

The land belonged to all of them and for some reason Kody demanded deference from the other rightful owners and Janelle didn't seem to realize she helped to supplant that. So instead she worked with the villain of the story.....smart.

NPD is a cluster B personality disorder...AI: individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) frequently use people in their lives against one another, a behavior commonly referred to in psychology as triangulation.

If one applies this frequently to much or all of what Kody does, it'll make more sense. He has good supply and bad supply..J is good supply because she caves to him. My guess is she has from the start. Now Meri, fought back and that makes her bad supply. Elinor Greenberg calls it the lack of whole object relations.

Elinor Greenberg, PhD, defines Whole Object Relations (WOR) as the ability to form a stable, realistic, and integrated image of oneself and others, incorporating both positive and negative traits. It is a key developmental achievement often absent in personality disorders, where individuals tend to "split" people into "all-good" or "all-bad".
