‘Sister Wives’ Meri Brown Calls ‘Bulls***’ on Kody Brown’s ‘Decency’ in Explosive Season 19 Trailer
One year after Kody Brown and Meri Brown ended their marriage in front of TLC’s cameras, she’s calling “bull****” on his “decency” in an explosive new trailer for Sister Wives, Season 19. The reality star confronted her ex-husband for his actions throughout their marriage, and is seen taking steps to break away from her family for good.
Meri and Kody Brown’s ‘Sister Wives’ showdown is a highlight of Season 19’s trailer
On August 13, TLC released the latest season trailer for Season 19 of Sister Wives. Viewers will see Meri Brown verbally dress down Kody Brown in a sit-down showdown.
For 18 seasons, viewers watched as Kody neglected Meri and their marriage. Although he appeared loving toward her in the series’ first seasons, that affection deteriorated.
Meri was a peripheral character on the show. She was devoted to Kody and their polygamist clan but never received anything in return for her loyalty. Now, she faces off with Kody, each sharing their truth before formally dissolving their union.
In a new clip, Meri confesses, “Kody and I are done. Our marriage is over.”
Her statement follows a clip of the two former spouses facing off. Meri states, “I’m not your wife anymore.” He responds with, “It’s not divorce that sucks, it’s marrying the wrong person.”
Meri tells TLC’s cameras, “What sucks is marrying the wrong person and then not having the decency to tell her until 32 years later.” The clip then cut back to the couple’s altercation, with Meri saying, “I didn’t know we were having a fight here.”
Kody responds, “It’s confusing from day one,” to which Meri responds, “Bull ****. That is so not fair to me. I would have rather you had told me, Kody, years ago.” He, in turn, blames Meri for his inability to love her.
Meri and Kody Brown’s altercation comes after Season 18 marriage bombshell
At the close of Season 18, fans saw a sit down between Meri, Robyn, and Kody Brown. Meri was the last sister wife in the clan after Christine and Janelle Brown’s exits.
In Part 2 of the season’s one-on-one episodes, Christine revealed Kody melted his original wedding ring from Meri and saved the gold and diamonds after his relationship with Robyn began. Christine spilled, “Well, Meri found out. She’s like, ‘Well, where’s my ring? You don’t wear it anymore.’”
She continued, “He’s like, ‘I melted it down.’ Just like that. He’s like, ‘I don’t want Meri to have control over me and power over me anymore.’”
Meri was furious that Christine shared that intimate detail of her and Kody’s relationship. “That was a symbol! That was a sign of our marriage and commitment, and he melted it down!” Meri furiously said of the event occurred years before her 2015 catfishing incident.
“Who’s to say that he didn’t just melt down our entire relationship in that moment? Symbolically, that’s what he did to me. It was a very, very painful situation.”
‘Sister Wives’ Meri Brown is at the center of the first half of Season 19
Season 19 begins in early 2023, placing the timeline when Meri and Kody announce on Instagram their marriage was over. Although the season’s trailer touched on Kody’s insistence on remaining married to Janelle, Christine’s relationship with David Wooley, and Robyn’s continued confusion about her marital situation, Meri appears to finally be getting her moment in the spotlight.
As Kody’s first legal wife, Meri stayed in the shadows for years. This season, she gets her say about living as part of Kody’s polygamist family.
Meri is seen sharing details of her move to Utah with Robyn’s youngest children, Solomon and Ariella, hugging Christine and interacting with Janelle. Meri’s full-circle moment has been far too long in the making. Let’s hope TLC finally gives her the justice she deserves.
Sister Wives Season 19 debuts beginning Sunday, Sept. 15 at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.
