Janelle Brown made two major admissions on Sister Wives this week.
Two major admissions that were opposite in nature.
On the latest installment of this TLC reality show, Kody Brown sat down to offer an apology to his former spouses… starting with Janelle.
For the first time we can recall, Janelle confessed on air that she had thoughts in the past that maybe she wasn’t totally done with Kody.
“At some point I thought, ‘What if we worked this out?’” Janelle acknowledged before getting together in person with Kody. “It’s just one of those thoughts, you know, you have when you sit down with an ex.”
It didn’t take long for reality to slap Janelle in the face, though.
“He says all the time how much he loves Robyn and she’s his true love or whatever,” the mom of six later said. “And I’m like, ‘That’s great. You guys can have each other.’”
In the end, accepting Kody’s apology on this episode — which included him explaining why he alleged to have never loved his first three wives — felt like the last piece of the puzzle for Janelle.
She was able to finally say it: Janelle Brown is ready to move on.
“This feels like the timing is right, now,” Janelle told viewers of her desire to ask for a spiritual release from her union. “The property is done. We’ve said our peace, and now it feels like it’s time to really cut that and move on.”
From what we can gather, Sister Wives Season 20 was filmed many months ago; some time this spring.
We can’t say for certain when Janelle has since gone through with this release, which we believe would go through the family’s church.
“The financial ties are dissolved,” said Janelle, who now lives near daughter Maddie in North Carolina. “Kody and I meeting sort of put a few of the little pieces that were missing out of the chapter of the book that’s closed.”
And while Brown graciously listened to what her ex had to say about the rocky years following their separation, “I don’t really care what Kody thinks about me seeking a spiritual release,” Janelle added. “I don’t care.”
To be clear, Janelle moved on a long time ago. She’s made that clear.
But every little step helps.
“I don’t really know if I’ll feel any different once the spiritual release is done,” Janelle concluded. “But intellectually, I’ll know that there’s a difference.”

We have sad news to report from the world of music today.
Joe Ely — the country and rock star who helped put the Austin music scene on the map in the 1960s and ’70s — has passed away.
He was 78 years old.
News of Ely’s death comes courtesy of a statement posted on his Instagram page on Tuesday.
“Legendary songwriter, singer, and raconteur Joe Ely died today from complications of Lewy Body Dementia, Parkinson’s and pneumonia,” the statement reads.
“His beloved wife Sharon and daughter Marie were at his side at their home in Taos, New Mexico. Ely was born February 9, 1947 in Amarillo, Texas.
“He was a leader of the extraordinary parade of artists raised in Lubbock who later settled in the live music capital of Austin,” the post continued.
“Ely signed with MCA Records in the 1970s and spent more than five decades recording and performing around the world.”
The statement promised that “a full obituary” and additional information would be provided shortly.
After establishing himself as a traveling musician in the late ’60s, Ely formed the country trio The Flatlanders in 1972.
Following a nearly 20-year hiatus during which their reputation only grew, the Flatlanders reassembled in 1998 to record a song for Robert Redford’s film The Horse Whisperer.
Ely continued touring and recording in the years that followed, releasing his final album, Love and Freedom, in February 2025.
A musician whose influence and fandom stretched well beyond the world of country music, Ely caught the attention of legendary punk band the Clash in 1978 and was later asked to tour with the band.
“I had teachers tell me I wouldn’t make it to 21 when I was going to high school, so I beat the odds,” the iconic musician famously quipped in a 2011 interview.
Ely is survived by his wife and daughter.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones during this incredibly difficult one.

Nick Reiner was scheduled to make his first appearance in court on Tuesday,
But Nick’s attorney, Alan Jackson — who previously represented Harvey Weinstein — revealed today that his client had not been “medically cleared” for transportation to his arraignment.
Obviously, that could mean any number of things.
Multiple outlets have confirmed that Nick is on suicide watch, so it’s possible that he’s not psychologically fit to appear in court.
It’s also possible that he sustained some sort of injury, either during the struggle with his parents or after his arrest.
Whatever the case, the 32-year-old is receiving no sympathy from Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman, who stated moments ago that Reiner could face the death penalty if he’s convicted.
The case could be complicated by Nick’s long history of mental illness and substance abuse.
As you’ve certainly heard by now, Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and wife Michele Singer were found stabbed to death in their home on Sunday.
Nick was arrested in connection with their deaths and is currently being held without bail.
Sources say the night before the alleged murders, Nick attended Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party with his parents.
Witnesses say he was badly underdressed (wearing sweats and a hoodie at a black tie event) and behaving erratically.
According to at least one account, Nick “stormed off” after a tense exchange with comedian Bill Hader.
Sources say Nick interrupted a conversation between Hader and another guest and became irate when Hader informed him that the conversation was private.
Witnesses say Nick also had a “loud argument” with his father at O’Brien’s party.
It’s still unclear when exactly the murders took place, but new reports indicate that Rob and Michele’s bodies were in a state of rigor mortis when their daughter found them the following afternoon.
Numerous celebrities have paid loving tribute to Rob Reiner, and an associate of the family’s, a yoga instructor named Alanna Zabel tells Page Six that Nick has a long history of “egocentric” behavior.
She rememberd Nick as “this little boy” with “behavioral issues” who “was always upsetting everyone” but “trying to figure it out.”
“Rob and Michelle asked me to do yoga with Nicky privately,” hoping it would help calm him down, Zabel recalls.
“Boys are wild in general, not just Nicky,” she explained, adding:
“I really focused our sessions on trying to exhaust him so that I could get to that place of connection and mindfulness. But I rarely got there because he was just inexhaustible.”
The Reiners reportedly spent millions on therapists and rehab programs over the years. And at one point, Nick and Rob collaborated on a semiautobiographical film — 2015’s Being Charlie — based on Nick’s struggles.
Again, we don’t know what sort of medical issues kept Nick out of court today, but we’ll continue to monitor the situation, and we’ll keep you updated as new information becomes available.

Grim new details about Michele and Rob Reiner’s murders is coming to light.
Their son, Nick Reiner, is the primary suspect. Police have already taken him into custody.
The couple’s daughter, Romy, is the one who found her parents, their home turned into a crime scene.
New details are coming to light about the state of the Reiners and the first statements to police when they arrived on the scene.
Daughter Romy first discovered parents Rob and Michele Reiner dead in their home
TMZ reports that Rob and Michele Reiner had been dead for hours before their daughter, Romy, discovered them in their home on Sunday.
According to the tabloid’s law enforcement sources, police arrived at the Brentwood, Los Angeles residence around 3:40 PM.
At this time, both Rob and Michele’s bodies were in a state of rigor mortis.
Rigor mortis is, as the name suggests, is a state of rigidity that follows death. It is the fourth stage of death, brought about by chemical changes in the muscles.
Barring unusual circumstances, this stage helps investigators to determine a timeline of a victim’s death.
In this case, the Reiners being in a state of rigor mortis helped authorites to conclude that the couple had been murdered hours before Romy’s arrival.
The peak of rigor mortis takes place approximately 13 hours after death, but TMZ‘s report did not specify.
Rigor mortis itself generally lasts about 8 hours or less at room temperature.
Likely, we will have to wait for the medical examiner’s full report to know a more precise time of death.
However, we know several things about the horrifying discovery that Romy made.
Here is the timeline, starting just before the 9-1-1 call
On Sunday, December 14, Romy Reiner arrived at her parents’ house to find both Rob and Michele dead.
Given the state of their bodies, the knife wounds were obvious and obviously fatal. She immediately called police.
Romy’s next call was to longtime family friend Billy Crystal. A friend of hers also joined her, seemingly for emotional support.
Authorities arrived and interviewed Romy at the scene.
This is when Romy first indicated that her older brother, Nick Reiner, was likely a person of interest in the case.
According to TMZ‘s report, Romy told officers that Nick was “dangerous.”
She also told them that he was living at the house, but was not there when she arrived.
The apparent implication was that she believed that Nick had fled the scene, though it seems unlikely that she used those exact words.
TMZ‘s report on the state of the scene describes “bodies butchered” with the murder looking like the deed of a “mad man.”
As we saw clearly just three months ago, neck injuries can cause a tremendous amount of rapid blood loss. The horror would be difficult to imagine for most, and much harder for Romy to witness.
Nick is in custody
About six hours after Romy’s grim discovery, authorities located Nick Reiner and arrested him on suspicion of murder.
Given the state of the late Rob and Michele Reiner’s remains and Romy’s statements to police, they are remanding Nick — holding him without bail.
He is also on suicide watch, out of apparent fear that he may be unstable or in an altered state of consciousness.
Millions are grieving the late director for his indelible impact upon popular culture as well as his activism that improved countless lives in his home state of California and beyond.
But this terrible act has destroyed a family. In more ways than one.

Billie Eilish is breaking people’s minds.
The phenomenal singer posed for a playful snap that shows no sign of her signature layers of baggy clothes.
Eilish has long controlled her image, drawing focus to her music rather than to her body when she’s on stage.
But, every now and then, she’s here to remind fans that she can post jaw-dropping thirst traps whenever she likes.
Billie Eilish has a new photo that you won’t want to miss
On Monday, December 15, musician Lucy Healey shared an eye-catching photo of Billie Eilish.
That is actually an understatement. You’ll see.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Healey shared a snap of Eilish posing in a kitchen.
While we don’t know what she’s drinking, she’s smiling playfully while holding what appears to be a baby bottle.
Eilish’s ensemble is also garnering significant attention. She’s wearing a low-cut spaghetti strap top with her jeans.
𝚋𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎 𝚎𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚑
Different articles of clothing fit different people in different ways.
As you can see, the form-fitting attire is extremely flattering on Eilish.
In addition to the ample cleavage, the beloved singer’s playful yet provocative pose and facial expression make it a solid snap.
It should come as no surprise that the photo quickly spread throughout social media.
There are entire blogs on numerous platforms that post nothing but celebrity (women) thirst traps. Eilish’s bottle pic seems to be on all of them.
‘What kind of goddess is that?’
The reactions to Billie Eilish’s jaw-dropping photo weren’t exactly all over the place, but they weren’t all the same, either.
“I wasn’t familiar with Billie’s game,” commented one individual.
(Famously, Eilish has often chosen to wear baggy clothes, even when performing, in part to deflect exactly this kind of attention)
“What is she doing with those mf cannons goddddamn,” another mused hornily.
Some of the comments were simply too raw in their lust for us to share here. Whatever you’re thinking, someone has said something more explicit and much more publicly.
“Wtf, what kind of goddess is that?” marveled another.
“I would let her drop a nuclear bomb on me,” wrote another about Eilish.
“I don’t like her music or her aesthetic,” some guy wrote, “but she’s divine.” Well, even people with bad taste can have good taste in one area, it seems!
“I need a week off work,” another expressed. That’s a pretty relatable way to react to thirst — as if you’ve been hit by a giant cartoon mallet and need time to recover.
All in all, the responses are positive. They’re just not all expressed in the same way.
This is not her usual outfit
For generations, our culture’s unhealthy fixation on body shapes has dominated discussion of pop stars.
How many phenomenal singers and performers have bowed out because they weren’t prepared for the onslaught of body commentary, thirst, and shaming? We may never know.
But Billie Eilish is perfectly aware of that. She has intentionally deflected attention from her body in most appearances.
The thing is that she is a gorgeous woman. She’d just rather focus on music.
Most of the time.
