In recent confessionals, Christine Brown and Janelle Brown freely discussed Kody and Meri’s marriage. Christine called Kody “mean and cruel” for how he treated Meri.
Fans of Sister Wives have speculated about Meri Brown and Kody Brown’s relationship for many years. Apparently, the Brown family has also talked about their rocky relationship. Christine Brown and Janelle Brown each offered their opinions on Meri and Kody’s problematic marriage in a recent episode. They were both thinking mainly negatively. Kody’s treatment of Meri Brown even earned him the label “mean and cruel” from Christine.
Janelle Brown described Kody and Meri’s marriage as “sad”
Of Kody Brown’s four marriages, Janelle Brown has always been regarded as the most analytical and least sentimental. Janelle seems to be delving more deeply into the emotional side of polygamy and how badly it has affected her family now that she is estranged from Kody. Janelle offered her opinion on Kody and Meri’s union in a confessional.
Kody’s second wife, Janelle, who married him in 1993, claimed that Meri had been holding out hope for things to improve for years but that the marriage was “very broken.” According to her, Kody does not treat Meri well and stopped watching out for her years ago. Janelle Brown has experienced similar rudeness and lack of attention from Kody.
Christine Brown pointed out how Kody Brown strung Meri Brown along for years
Christine was less impartial than Janelle Brown. Kody’s third wife openly discussed the former polygamist and his troubling behavior toward his first wife, Meri Brown. Christine was the first to leave Kody. She announced her divorce in 2021. In a telling confessional moment during the Sept. 17 episode of Sister Wives, Christine said that Kody had been “mean and cruel” to his first wife and strung her along for years. The way Kody treated Meri helped Christine find the resolve to walk away from her rocky union for good.
In a previous interview, Christine admitted that Kody once suggested she should be happy with the attention she was getting because Meri was OK with how things were between them. Christine explained that she could never be happy in such a romantic entanglement. The mother of six said she found Kody and Meri’s relationship so sad that she couldn’t imagine living that way.
Christine Brown isn’t a fan of Meri, though
Be clear: Christine Brown is not a fan of Meri’s. Fans of Sister Wives were mostly startled to see Christine call attention to the appalling way Kody handled Meri. They were even more shocked to see her displaying some sympathy for Meri’s situation. Christine Brown doesn’t usually stand up for Meri Brown. The relationship between the former sister wives has been primarily strained for years, and Christine has already utilized the Sister Wives forum to express her complaints against Kody’s first wife. Christine even went so far as to claim that now that she has entirely given up polygamy, she has no desire to be friends with Meri.
Meri doesn’t seem to care much about building a friendship with Christine, either. The relationship is even less important now that they are no longer married to the same man. The duo no longer follow each other on social media, and that seems to be the way they like it. Still, they do have a common enemy in Kody Brown.
