‘Sister Wives’ Kody Brown Acts Like a Snake Oil Salesman: True Colors Shown After Being Backed Into a Corner Over Coyote Pass Property
Sister Wives star Kody Brown showed his true colors after being backed into a corner after talks over the family’s Coyote Pass property came to a standstill. After both Meri and Janelle Brown spoke out about how unfairly the plots of land have been divided, Kody fought back by being noncommittal about the “pain” of the property, acting like a snake oil salesman.
Coyote Pass is the only link Kody Brown has to Meri and Janelle Brown
Both Janelle and Meri Brown have ended their spiritual unions with Kody Brown. The women are no longer romantically linked to their former husband.
However, the reality TV stars remain tied together financially. The plot of land they own with Robyn Brown, Coyote Pass, remained unpaid at the time the Dec. 1, 2024 episode was filmed in early 2023.
Previously, Janelle spoke to Meri about paying off the land, as she was worried Kody would let it go back to the seller and they would lose their investment.
Initially, Kody sectioned off plots for each family. His and Robyn’s name is on two lots. Then, there’s one for Janelle and Kody and one for Janelle, Meri, and Kody.
However, on the Dec. 1, 2024, episode of Sister Wives, viewers learned Kody tentatively switched up the plots. Robyn, Janelle, Meri, and Kody would all have their parcels, and Kody and Meri shared a middle piece of land between their two lots.
Janelle believes the 14-acre property should be split equally in four ways. Meri went a step further and spoke to Kody about having the property appraised.
In turn, he responded like a snake oil salesman, a term used to describe someone who deceives people to get money from them. “I look out there and it’s sort of a source of pain in a way,” Kody explained.
“I don’t want to put in more money and I don’t want to do appraisals. And I don’t want to talk to lawyers about it. I don’t know what to do. I’m not interested in doing anything.”
Fans reacted to Kody Brown acting like a snake oil salesman
Kody Brown acted diabolical in this episode. He appeared to know what he was doing when he tried to brush Meri and Janelle Brown off regarding their Coyote Pass concerns said fans on Reddit.
“You can totally see it on his face he’s hiding something. He wanted the extra money,” wrote one fan.
“Kody is a con artist. That’s it. All of it,” claimed a second Sister Wives viewer.
A third shared, “Janelle – truth bomb – he doesn’t want an appraisal because he’s making out like a bandit !!!”
“He said having 5 plots means it will go to the kids….hmmm….who has 5 kids?” wondered a fourth viewer, referencing Kody’s five kids with Robyn Brown.
Did Coyote Pass get paid off?
The Brown family purchased a parcel of land called Coyote Pass in 2018 for $820,000. The family intended to split it into five parcels.
By June 2023, the land was ultimately paid off, ending months of discussion about the property. However, Coyote Pass as an asset remains in question for Meri, Janelle, Robyn, and Kody Brown.
The Brown family remains at a standstill with the land. It appears the parcels, per the Coconino County website, are still registered to members of the family.
Per the latest Sister Wives episode, Janelle has retained a lawyer, and Meri said she too would get representation to expedite the process of recouping their assets. Subsequently, in October 2024, Kody and Robyn Brown purchased a new home to the tune of $2.1M.
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
