Even though Meri Brown of Sister Wives may be nursing a broken heart after revealing she had left her marriage to Kody Brown, a surprising ally, Gwen Brown is sharing that the mother of one is better off without the patriarch. For years, Meri has tried to garner sympathy regarding her toxic relationship with Kody. However, the last few seasons have shown Meri growing more and more independent away from the polygamous family.
Meri had high hopes for her life with Kody, and as the first legal wife, she expected to be held on a pedestal, far away from the rest of Kody’s spouses. Sadly, Kody soon fell out of love with Meri as he added more spouses to the mix. Kody revealed in later seasons of Sister Wives that he was no longer attracted to Meri and wouldn’t be upset if she chose to move on. Meri had her own scandal while the family lived in Las Vegas, as it was revealed she had cheated on Kody with a catfish. The couple could never recover, and the outcome left Meri alone.
Meri Brown Could Have Taken Kody’s Money If She Wanted To
Gwen recently shed some light on her Sister Wives family’s ability to spend money. The 21-year-old revealed that Meri is actually “kind of similar” to her mom, Christine Brown, as none of Kody’s ex-wives were trying to take money from Kody. Gwen joked that Janelle, Meri, and Christine were anything but “salty
Why Kody Brown Carefully Spends Money
Gwen went on to share that Kody and Robyn Brown have a horrible habit of spending “not within their means at all.” Kody has been known to be cheap and careful with how he spends the Sister Wives‘ money for years. However, Robyn has always enjoyed the finer things in life and has started to be more reckless with money. In a previous video, Gwen called her father a misogynist, as his temperament has driven away three of his four wives.
Kody’s fourth and favorite wife, Robyn, has often been called out for her lavish lifestyle. During earlier seasons of Sister Wives, Robyn often spoke in her confessional about how Kody’s thriftiness was a turn-off. Now that Meri, Janelle, and Christine are away from Kody’s controlling hands, they can invest and spend their earnings on what they see fit.
