Janelle Brown recently looked back on her split from Kody Brown and pointed out what she called “narcissistic” behaviour in ex-Kody Brown.
In part three of Sister Wives: One on One on Sunday, June 8, the 56-year-old TV personality talked about her and Kody’s relationship by saying, “I do think that there was a cycle of love bombing and then, like, almost kind of, like, a wind down.”
Host Sukanya Krishnan confessed, “I’m trying to figure out what the love bomb is.”
Responding to her remarks, Janelle hinted that the 56-year-old patriarch of the Brown family used love bombing on her throughout their 30-year marriage.
For the unversed, Love Bombing is described by Cleveland Clinic as a “form of psychological and emotional abuse often disguised as excessive flattery.”
The mother of six went on to explain, “For a narcissist, there’s a cycle where you love bomb and then you sort of, there’s sort of a waning and then you almost kind of, like, destroy or hurt them and then to fix it, you come back in and you love bomb. And so, there was kind of this cycle.”
Krishnan interrupted the conversation and asked to seek clarification, “[You] use the word narcissist. Are you saying Kody’s a narcissist?”
Janelle replied, “No, because I am not — I am not qualified to diagnose him. I guess everybody will have to decide.”
“I’m not a psychologist. I’m not a psychiatrist. I read pop culture. I have no idea. But it does seem like there’s quite a lot of similarities,” the TLC star noted.
