SISTER Wives star Janelle Brown has been accused by fans of faking her before-and-after weight loss photos.
Fans think Janelle, 53, used a filter just so she can sell diet products.
Reddit fans shared a bunch of photos that the family posted recently, including one of Janelle talking about her weight loss journey.
The photo of the reality TV star showed a side-by-side comparison of her in the same outfit for the past two 4th of July’s.
She wore a shirt that resembled the American flag and denim shorts.
In the first photo, Janelle held a Plexus drink, which she heavily promotes often.

In the second photo, she held her shorts out, which she said were “falling off of her.”
She captioned the post: ” But in the past year, not only have I increased my strength (almost have a 200 lb barbell squat accomplished you guys!) but in my own unique way I have lost lbs and inches.”
The Sister Wives star went on to say: “Plexus was the magic I wish I had years and years ago. I never thought I could feel as good as I did at 18 and finally feel like I’m on my way to my ultimate health goals. This is not an overnight fix. Nothing truly worth it is.”
“These pictures are from the last 4th of July and this 4th of July. These shorts I have worn for two years are almost too big to even keep on! I couldn’t be more excited about my progress!”
Despite Janelle saying these photos were from different years, Reddit users didn’t believe her.
“God, love her but what is up with those ‘before and after’ pics from Janelle?” asked one fan to which another one replied, “It’s literally the same day. One has a filter and one doesn’t.”
“She looks better in the before pic,” chimed in another.
“No Janelle. Not buying it,” wrote a fourth.
Fans think that she is just using her platform to promote Plexus.
One fan wrote: “Her whole caption about how she’s feeling 18 again because of Plexus. UGH. It makes me so mad that someone with a platform like theirs can use it to take advantage of people by shilling their pyramid scheme products and ‘opportunity’.”
Another chimed in: “It is crazy to me that Janelle sells this weight loss drink that she doesn’t even use probably. Doesn’t she post photos of people before and after and the results are huge compared to her picture!? I see no difference in her before and after photos.”
A Reddit user replied to them saying: “There’s absolutely no point in her showing any sort of comparison photo if all she’s going to do is poorly crop one version, use creative posing, and/or change her makeup to create a difference that isn’t there.”
Janelle spent some time recently focusing on her health.
That journey included major weight loss, which she proudly documented online.
At the time, she shared that after years of being insecure, she finally feels “confident” in a bathing suit.
She captioned a selfie snapped at the beach: “For years I made excuses about going anywhere that required a swimsuit.
“All of my insecurities… As I became more accepting of my wonderful body and all the things it could do I became more confident.
“I’m a work in progress for sure but I missed out on so much fun through the years. No more! So here is my yearly post about how to go to the beach. Put on your suit and go.”
The TV personality owns the fitness company Strive with Janelle and swears by Plexus weight loss drinks.
Sister Wives airs every Sunday at 10 pm on TLC.
It follows the lives of Kody Brown, his four wives, and their combined 18 children.
