Over the course of 19 seasons, Sister Wives fans have seen Kody Brown behave horrendously toward his ex-wives. In particular, viewers believe Meri Brown received the worst treatment.
Some weren’t sure if Kody realized how poorly he treated them. But after fans watched him help Meri move to Utah, he openly admitted it.
Read on to get the scoop and see what other Sister Wives viewers are discussing.
Fans Think Kody Brown Always Knew He Was Being Cruel To Meri
As Kody finished helping Meri settle in, he had an emotional outburst. Few fans felt convinced by his random display of tears. But many more wished Meri took the opportunity to completely shut him down.
“Meri’s Missed Opportunity,” a Reddit user shared online. “It was infuriating when Kody apologized for leading her on for seven years, and then basically retracted it and said he was glad that he did because it allowed him to meet the moment of their final separation with sadness rather than anger. ‘It makes sense, right?’ he says, and Meri says a semi-placating ‘sort of’ even though it doesn’t.”
“She SHOULD have said, ‘No, it really doesn’t. Those years might have helped you, but from my perspective–to think of all the years I sacrificed for you to love me…WASTED!’” the OP concluded, referencing Kody’s infamous “knife in the kidneys” speech.
Sister Wives Fans Wish Meri Would’ve Called Him Out
Overall, most Sister Wives fans agreed the scene was entirely staged. But many felt angry that Kody so openly admitted to treating Meri terribly throughout their marriage.
Other Reddit users wrote:
- “Honestly all of the wives should have put him in his place sooner than they did.”
- “He only sees things from how it affects him…so dragging her along with no hope of getting back together as a husband and wife was okay because it gave him time to mourn and be done with her but to hell with her.”
- “His sobbing seemed legit though. I agree they totally set that scene up to have something to film, but his feelings seemed real. Or I’m gullible as hell. Haha”
- “It was so obvious his tearing up and acting out was prompted by the guy showing Meri a smidge of compassion and a side hug. Ahhhhh I’m not the entire focus! Ahhhhh! It’s the end of an era!”
