Sister Wives Season 19’s Meri Brown’s Emotions Are Leading Her To Be The Season’s Villain (She’s Prioritizing Kody & Robyn Over Herself)

Meri’s behavior throughout Sister Wives season 19 has been fascinating to watch, as she’s been working from a whole new perspective. While the last several years have been eye-opening for Meri, her perspective has changed as her distance from the family has grown along with her understanding of what was going in her marriage. Meri’s shift hasn’t been easy for her to go through, but the way she’s been struggling to define her emotions has been detrimental to her relationships in general. Though Meri seems to mean well, putting herself first has hurt others, making her a Sister Wives villain.

Sister Wives Star Meri Brown Has Turned Over A New Leaf

She’s Prioritizing Herself Before Anyone Else

After thirty years of marriage, Meri and Kody’s falling out came to a point of no return. While Kody had been harsh to Meri for years, the origins of their issues stemmed from Meri’s catfishing scandal, which showed her intentions to find love outside of her marriage to Kody. When Meri was revealed to be in an online relationship with someone who was ready to expose her true intentions, Kody shut his emotions off and their relationship continually suffered in the following years.

After coming to the realization that her relationship with Kody wasn’t going to improve, Meri decided to make a tough call and leave the Sister Wives patriarch behind. Finding new independence outside of her relationship, Meri made it clear that she was going to live more independently in her newfound single life. Working hard to put herself first, Meri’s been prioritizing herself for the first time in years.

Meri’s Difficulty Naming Her Emotions Has Led To Misunderstandings

She’s Been Struggling With How To Approach Things

Although Meri’s been doing her best to keep herself in check with her new level of freedom, she’s been having a harder time than expected explaining herself. After spending decades with Kody and working through her grief on Sister Wives, Meri’s been doing a lot of things more independently for the first time, which has brought up a slew of new emotions. In feeling things she’s never felt, Meri has been sharing that she’s feeling emotions, but she hasn’t been able to name them. This has led to issues in her communication with others like former sister wife Janelle Brown.

Meri Has Prioritized Kody & Robyn Too Much In Her New Life

She’s Been Focusing Too Much On Her Old Life

Meri’s warped sense of loyalty prioritized Kody and his remaining wife Robyn Brown for years, but seeing her continue to do so when she’s been burned by the couple hasn’t been easy. In allowing herself to continue to prioritize Kody and Robyn, Meri’s burned bridges with others in her former family, like Janelle. With Meri struggling to explain how she’s feeling, she’s defaulted to her old ways and made herself seem more like a villain than she actually is. Meri’s actions have caused others pain, which means her newfound independence may not maintain solid ground for the Sister Wives star.
