Over the past 18 seasons of Sister Wives, viewers have seen family patriarch Kody treat Meri Brown incredibly poorly. Although Kody seems to only treat Robyn well, he seems particularly set on putting Meri down.
Meri Brown has made plenty of mistakes over the years. But overall, fans don’t understand what she did to deserve the abuse. See what others had to say on Reddit.
Redditors Question Why Kody Hates Meri Brown So Much
Sister Wives star Meri Brown is not infallible. The catfishing situation raised plenty of eyebrows in the family and fandom alike. And on top of that, Mykelti and Paedon Brown alleged she abused them as children.
But even so, most Sister Wives fans agree that she doesn’t deserve the harsh treatment she receives from Kody.
“What did Meri Do?” a Redditor asked online. “Honest question. Apart for the catfishing (as I do think that’s a totally separate matter) what did Meri do to make Kody hate her so much?
This woman was your wife for decades. And you want just absolutely nothing to do with her? Why?”
One Reddit user simply replied, “She’s not Robyn.” Many others agreed with those sentiments, but others elaborated a bit more.
Other opinions included:
- “Honestly I think it’s the fertility. Fundamental Mormonism is a fertility cult, and the first wife is ‘supposed’ to have a huge head start in the others. Kody’s just smart enough to know that he can’t say that out loud.”
- “She started living her own life, making her own decisions, buying her own things, she didn’t need him anymore and he couldn’t handle it.”
- “Meri was the original Robyn. So when Robyn came in Janelle and Christine knew what the deal was going to be. Meri didn’t. Meri wasn’t use to accepting scraps and didn’t take the hints, which made Kody have to be the bad guy to get her to go away. And Kody likes to treat people poorly but doesn’t like when those people make him look like the bad guy he is.”
The TLC Star Prepares To Share Her Side Of The Story
As TV Shows Ace previously noted, Meri Brown is likely preparing to share her personal truth with the world.
Kody Brown has been incredibly abusive and manipulative to Meri onscreen. But there surely are hundreds of stories that never made it to the show.
In time, fans hope she will launch a tell-all book to shine a light on the darker chapters of Sister Wives.
