‘Sister Wives’ Janelle Pressured Kody To Sell Coyote Pass Without Meri

The long-simmering tension over Coyote Pass has resurfaced—and this time, it’s dragging old alliances and suspicions back into the spotlight. During the upcoming Sister Wives: One on One special, viewers will finally see the issue addressed head-on, with claims that Janelle Brown wanted the property sold without Meri Brown’s involvement.

While the idea isn’t entirely new, the way it unfolds in the special adds a sharper edge to an already complicated family dynamic—especially given the fragile truce Janelle and Meri appeared to have reached after their respective splits from Kody Brown.

A Complicated History Between Janelle and Meri

Janelle and Meri Brown’s relationship has never been an easy one. Throughout their shared marriage to Kody Brown, the two struggled to find common ground, often clashing behind the scenes while trying to maintain a united front.

Over time, Meri formed a closer bond with Robyn Brown, a connection that remained intact even as the plural marriage unraveled.

By the time Meri officially left Kody, she was the last remaining sister wife still tied to the family’s shared asset: the Coyote Pass land in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Christine Brown Woolley had already sold her portion when she exited the marriage in 2021 and relocated to Utah, leaving the property as the final thread binding the former family together.

As the current season documents the push to finally close that chapter, Kody and Robyn appeared reluctant to move forward—until the sale became unavoidable.

Claims of a Quiet Push to Sell

According to Kody, Janelle wanted to move ahead with selling Coyote Pass without Meri’s knowledge or approval.

While the sale ultimately did not happen that way, the accusation lingered in the background, especially as Meri and Janelle seemed to be rebuilding their relationship.

Meri had already secured a release from her marriage to Kody and, notably, supported Janelle in doing the same.

That context makes the allegation even more jarring—something the One on One host, Sukanya Krishnan, directly raises with Meri in the upcoming special.

Sitting alongside her close friend Jennifer Sullivan, Meri admits she believes the claim could be true.

She recalls a period when Janelle abruptly cut off communication, going completely silent. At the time, Meri sensed something was wrong, and Kody was quick to point the finger at Janelle.

Rather than clarifying or softening the situation, Kody once again leaned into assigning blame—behavior that many fans say fits neatly into his now-familiar pattern, apology tour notwithstanding.

Fans Push Back on Kody’s Version of Events

Viewers may have seen Meri acknowledge the possibility of Janelle’s involvement, but that doesn’t mean they’re buying Kody’s account.

Online reactions suggest deep skepticism, with many fans accusing him of reshaping events to protect himself and Robyn.

Some reactions were blunt:

“I zero percent believe Kody”

Others pointed to paperwork and timelines that contradict his narrative:

“I don’t believe Kody at all. I believe he twisted Janelle’s words up. And according to the documents, it was Robyn who prolonged the sale bc she signed them like two months after everyone else!”

Still, not everyone dismissed the claim outright. One viewer questioned Janelle’s on-screen silence if the allegation were true:

“If that’s how it went and that’s what Janelle said that’s what she should have said on the show instead of acting like she just said yeah you could do that.”

What Happens Next

With Sister Wives: One on One set to air on Sunday, January 11th, 2026, the fallout from the Coyote Pass sale is far from over.

Whether the truth lies somewhere in the middle—or has been strategically reframed—viewers are preparing for yet another chapter in the Brown family’s long history of fractured trust and unresolved conflict.

One thing is certain: even after the land is gone, the emotional real estate it occupies isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
