Why It Feels Like Sister Wives’ Meri Brown Threw Janelle Under the Bus
I was never a fan of Meri Brown. During her time on Sister Wives, she has always been quite the complainer. Nothing ever seemed to please the TLC star, so much so that I started calling her “Madam Never Pleased.” The first wife of Kody Brown didn’t get along with his other wives.
In fact, it often felt like she had made their lives a living hell. So when Janelle Brown tried to look out for her on the most recent episode, I was surprised. But what surprised me more was how Meri turned right around and tattled on Janelle. Not cool, Meri. Not cool.
Meri Brown was a brown noser
During a recent Sister Wives episode, viewers watched as Meri sold Janelle out to Kody. The patriarch and Janelle were already on the outs due to their divorce, so it didn’t seem necessary for Meri to pile on.
While Kody was discussing what to do about Coyote Pass, Meri dropped a few breadcrumbs as she hoped to land in the father of 18’s good graces—in the sit-down, Meri informed Robyn Brown and Kody that his second wife had secretly tried to warn her that Kody might try and screw her over when it comes to the division of the assets.
As Janelle tried to do the right thing, she acknowledged that she and Meri had never had a great relationship. Early on, Sister Wives followers learned that Meri was jealous of Janelle’s place within the family.
In the family book, it was explained that Meri would often speak rudely to Janelle and ice her out. Yet, Janelle still wanted to try and protect her former sister wife. Janelle visited Meri at her home to warn her that Kody and Robyn may try to swindle her out of her fair share of Coyote Pass.
Janelle’s gut feeling wasn’t wrong as later in the same episode, Kody admitted to thinking about “screwing her over,” but Robyn wouldn’t allow it.
At least Janelle Brown can sleep easy at night
Kody told cameras, “OK, so I’m being honest, but I won’t. My wife with a conscience won’t let me,” During her Sister Wives confessional, Janelle noted, “My conscience really dictated that I went and spoke with Meri about the property.” The mother of six added, “It wasn’t to create drama; it was just to make sure she was aware and could be educated going into the situation.
” However, Meri felt differently as she noted she was well aware that Kody’s name was on all four plots and Robyn’s was on three.
Meri told the cameras, “I hope that they will be fair, and they will be honest. And I hope that it doesn’t get ugly.” The Brown family bought the land back in 2018 for $820,000.
At the time, the land was split into four plots, but it became painfully evident that none of the wives, with the exception of Janell, had ever really cared about building on the land.
Christine, who left the family in 2021, sold her share back to Kody. Janelle tried her best to make a home and even bought a luxury RV to live on Coyote Pass.
Sister Wives viewers are mad as hell at Meri Brown
It’s clear Meri knows nothing about loyalty. This is probably why most of her family doesn’t speak to her. After Sunday’s episode, Meri went to TikTok to try to defend herself. Viewers took to social media to call out Meri’s bad behavior.
Most of us had just started rooting for Meri, but now she has put herself in the dog house. Fans felt that Meri acted like a snake when she chose to rat on Janelle. It was clear she had never heard about chicks before d*cks. Instead of throwing Janelle under the bus, she could have made it clear to Kody that she and Janelle were actually on the same page.
During her TikTok Live, Meri noted, “Janelle and I actually talked about it yesterday. Because I was like, ‘People think that I was throwing you under the bus.’” According to Meri, she felt like she had every right to talk to Kody because Janelle wanted her on camera.
The mother of one shared, “The viewers thought that I was throwing her under the bus, and that was not my intention.” Meri, who was speaking to her friend Jen, added, “I told Janelle some more information that I am not revealing to the public, and she’s like, all cool. We are all cool. So, she didn’t feel that way, and all is cool.” I hope Janelle checked herself for tire tracks.
