For the last ten years, Meri Brown has been at the center of a Sister Wives love triangle. Even though the mother of one may not have ever realized that Kody Brown was never going to fulfill her, she held out hope and stuck around like a third wheel. For years, Meri and Robyn Brown portrayed that they had a wonderful friendship. A special sisterhood where it was okay to share one husband and have catfights with the other two wives.

But now that Meri has broken away from her Mormon family she is feeling freer than ever. And this means she is spilling the tea on all the family drama fans want to know. It turns out viewers were right about Robyn. So why is Meri taking the time to break her silence now?

Meri Brown was unsure of Robyn’s motives

For years, Robyn had been feeding little kernels of hope to Meri, often saying that deep down, their husband did love her. Honestly, looking back, it was cruel of Robyn to do such a thing. Kody’s former first wife sat down for her first real-time interview since she left Arizona and fled to Utah. While on The Sarah Fraser Show, Meri finally started to reveal that Robyn, Kody’s fourth and favorite wife, wasn’t all that she portrayed herself to be. The host asked the TLC star the dark questions fans have always wanted to know, including whether Robyn was happy or upset to see Meri walk away.

Season 18 showed Robyn pleading with Meri to stay and stick it out. But it was obvious to everyone Kody no longer cared for her. Meri thoughtfully answered the question, saying, “I don’t know. I don’t know; I think that she did want me to stay. I feel like she was sad. I feel like she had this idea when she came into the family of, you know, this big plural family. I really think that.”

Is Meri Brown still in contact with Kody?

I will say one thing about Meri. She is great at leading fans on and giving them false hope that she will give an upfront answer. When asked if she felt like Kody and Robyn’s behavior toward her on the series was genuine, the Worthy Up owner was hesitant to answer. Meri finally stated that she didn’t feel like their attitudes were ever “matching up either. I got that from Kody, too. You know, it’s like things, there was a lot of confusion.” Robyn often used her tears as a weapon. If Robyn didn’t get her way, she would usually sob and walk away from the conversation.

As for staying close to Kody or Robyn the mother of one seems to be making space for herself. Meri revealed “I’ve seen them on occasion and talked and texted a little bit, but it’s not, you know, I’m in this place where I’m moving forward with my life.” Meri made it clear she is not seeking them out.

Robyn Brown had ulterior motives

Fans always questioned whether Robyn wanted Kody all for herself. The patriarch never treated her the same as his first three wives. Kody broke almost every rule he had when it came to Robyn, including picking out her wedding dress and kissing before marriage, so even though Meri might not have spilled all the tea, a lot of what she said added up. Meri’s interview solidifies that Robyn probably did just want a monogamous relationship with Kody. And now, her wish has come true. Fans are still holding out for Season 19 and hope they see Kody and Robyn address their odd relationship. But as for Meri, it looks like she is moving on to greener pastures.
