In the most recent episode of Sister Wives, Janelle Brown downplayed her true relationship with Meri Brown and her family, which upset viewers.
The fact that Janelle Brown has concealed her true history and relationship to Meri Brown has angered a lot of Sister Wives watchers. The season eighteen MVP is Janelle. She’s finally realizing her value again and is chronicling her breakup with Kody Brown. Janelle recently spoke in front of the cameras about her feelings upon first meeting Kody. Before Janelle ever met Kody, she claimed to have been friends with Meri’s family. The mother of six said that when she first met the father of the Brown family, she had a good vibe.
As shown in a Reddit thread by AnotherHopeless, many Sister Wives fans think Janelle was wrong to omit the part that she was previously married to Meri’s late brother. They accused her of rewriting history and wrote, “are they trying to erase the idea she was married to her brother first?”
Many Redditors felt offended that Janelle tried to make it seem like she was only a family friend instead of Meri’s former sister-in-law. A Reddit user commented, “that is the real reason why Meri does not like her.” Another commented, “she knows how awful it looks that she fell for a married man while she was married.”
Where Do Janelle & Meri Currently Stand With Kody Brown?
Over time, Meri and Janelle’s bond with Kody underwent a significant transformation. In Janelle’s instance, she began to reconsider her marriage as she grew more conscious of Kody’s negative attitude. Janelle was also urged to leave her husband by her former sister-wife Christine Brown, who said there was no reconciliation between them. Meri, on the other hand, went into total denial. To keep the marriage going, she disregarded Kody’s lack of willingness to mend the relationship and the warning signs. Regarding Kody, it seems that he is finished with both of his marriages and is willing to live a monogamous life with Robyn Brown.
Fans are certainly right to question Janelle’s intentions. Over the years, they’ve seen the Utah native expand her family with Kody and reveal her many secrets. She had previously talked about being married to Meri’s brother, so it makes no sense for her to avoid the truth in the confessional. Many viewers know the truth about the Brown family and Kody’s marriages. They knew Janelle had a husband before, just like Robyn had been married. There’s absolutely no point in Janelle hiding something well-known and very prevalent.
Janelle is still a kind and intelligent woman. Either that, or she was just reporting the facts in a generic way without intending to change the past. Since it wasn’t Janelle’s intention, she refrained from telling the cameras that she was married to Meri’s brother. She was talking about her first encounter with Kody and didn’t stop talking about it. It’s possible that she was just letting people know that she knew Meri’s family before Meri did, based on what she said. The Sister Wives actress might have omitted bringing up her prior marriage because the interview’s format didn’t call for her to elaborate.
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.
