Sister Wivesseason 19’sKody Brownhas been known to say unkind things aboutMeri Brown, but his latest comments are the cruelest things he’s ever said about his ex-wife. Meri was Kody’s first wife, and they were married in 1990. Meri came from a big polygamous family, and her mother had several sister wives, so she wanted a similar lifestyle for herself. She had dreamed of having many children, but her body didn’t cooperate, and she was only able to have one biological child.
For his part,Kody had four wives and 18 childrenin total, so Meri’s dream of a big, plural family came true, but it wasn’t how she had imagined it would be. She never felt loved by Kody, and as time went on, they grew even further apart. Meri is a religious person who doesn’t believe in divorce, so she tries to make the marriage work, despite Kody’s constant slights. Through the years,Kody has said some hurtful things about Meri, but his recent comment during an early episode ofSister Wivesseason 19 takes the proverbial cake.
