Mar. 15, 2025

Christine Brownis speaking out as trouble increases for the Brown family.

“Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul,” she said. “In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance, my head is bloody but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade, and yet the menace of the years finds and shall find me unafraid.”

Christine, 50, added: “It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.”

Janelle has remained mum about the separation online, though she shared a photo teasing a glimpse of the dinner she cooked.
