Sister Wives star Meri Brown didn’t mention Kody Brown this weekend, but after an abrupt halt mid-sentence, fans think she had her TLC co-star in mind.

During a recent interview, Meri used elaborate distraction techniques to keep something a secret when addressing her million-plus followers online. So what’s up with Meri Brown?

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Rolls Out Intrigue

Meri Brown wasn’t wearing a trench coat, and a magnifying glass was nowhere to be found. But she still tried creating an air of intrigue in one of her latest posts.

One of Meri’s newest hobbies is reading questions about herself, which she finds on Google. Some of them are funny, and others are a bit mundane. But, occasionally, a zinger pushes through, making things interesting for Sister Wives fans.

And that was the case with her latest round of questions. She started to describe a home remodeling project, but instead of hearing what she had to say, the screen lit up.

Meri Plays With the Fans with “Him” News – Kody Brown?

So, Meri made it obvious that what she has to say isn’t ready for the fans’ ears yet. But she revealed her news behind one of those “Technical Difficulties” messages. The Sister Wives celeb became very animated, but you couldn’t hear a word she said. Or even see her lips to read them.

Once she got that news out of the way, the Sister Wives fans scratched their heads, wondering why all the mystery. But then Meri dropped another interesting bit of info.

She became excited as she started to share something. But then she abruptly stopped. She then conversed with whoever was on the other side of the camera. Meri Brown then asked the unknown person if it was okay to mention this news.

Whatever it was, it obviously got her very excited. But, the decision was not to share it just yet. So, next, she promised the news about “him” will come soon.

That perked up the Sister Wives fans’ ears.  By now, fans heard the excitement in Meri’s voice and watched her get animated over news that she’s seemingly itching to share. But they heard nothing, nothing at all new from all of this.

Sister Wives: Is Meri Teasing Kody News or a New ‘Him’?

A while back, Meri Brown admitted she sometimes throws things out to the masses, knowing she will likely start a rumor. As far as decorating goes, the fans weren’t too interested in her decor news that they never got to hear due to her technical difficulty ploy.

But the word “him” has fans speculating that Meri either has a new man, or she’s referring to Kody Brown. It seems Kody fell off the face of the Earth since the last season of Sister Wives.

A few photos of Kody surfaced from his son’s memorial service. Other than that, he’s been fairly reclusive to the public. But since Garrison Brown’s death, the three wives who divorced Kody don’t seem to mention their once-shared husband.

So, with that said, some fans think Meri and Kody may have made amends and that name she didn’t mention might be his. Well, Meri left room for a ton of speculation this time around.

So, fans now wonder if Kody Brown somehow enters into her reveal of “him”. Or, at the very least, maybe she’s harboring a new man. Anyway, it looks like this Sister Wives star started the ball rolling. Her followers likely find out soon if it was rumor bait or a tease of real news for her fans of the TLC series.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown released a message about suicide this weekend that caught the attention of the fans from her TLC show. This message appears similar to the usual cryptic posts she dangles online for her followers. Fans want to know where she is going with this, or if she is pointing the finger at someone.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Comes Out of Left Field with Message

Meri Brown wasn’t talking about anything recently that coincides with the message she posted over the weekend. She never mentioned a name when sharing this new post with her million-plus followers.

For Sister Wives fans, many assumed that she had the tragic ending to Garrison Brown’s life in mind with this post. Garrison took his life two months ago. The police ruled it a suicide after finding him with a gunshot wound to the head.

Sister Wives fans were surprised to see such a blatant message about suicide. But then many realized at the end of Meri’s post the message also said that “May is Mental Health Awareness Month”.

So, is this Meri’s way of drawing attention to this with hopes of getting the word out? And maybe staving off this awful outcome for another family?

Meri’s devastation over Garrison’s death became clear in her posts. She, and the rest of the family, were at a loss about how to navigate going forward with such a loss now part of their lives.

So, for her to want to get a message out about suicide is only understandable, especially if it helps others. But some fans wonder if that is the only message within that post.

Meri Mentions No Names

Meri never mentioned a name in her message, so if she points a finger at someone, that person remains a mystery. Cryptic messages from Meri in the past left fans assuming she was talking about another Sister Wives family member at the time.

But this message deals with an unsettling topic. It talks about people not taking someone seriously when they suffer from mental illness. Instead, some tend to accuse the person of attention-seeking when suicidal.

Meri Brown’s message also talks about the regrets in hindsight of a suicide. In the aftermath of a suicide, people “feel bad” and “wish they saw the signs”. And that’s likely true in many families after a loved one takes their own life.

Sister Wives: Too Soon for This?

While the message is important, some Sister Wives fans worry that the words might sound a bit condemning for those left behind in the famous Brown family.

The Sister Wives tragedy has the family in its early days, wrestling with ways to move on. So, some fans suggest this message, coming from a family member, might give off the wrong idea. This post could be deciphered as Meri Brown pointing fingers at an unnamed family member.

Again, it’s important to take any suggestion of suicide seriously enough to act immediately, which is a message that needs to be heard.

Still, some fans suggest with all the turmoil seen within that family, Meri Brown’s seemingly cryptic message might rip open a few wounds.

Again, this message needs to get out there. But as a Sister Wives family member, fans think the wording could have been a bit different, so it left no room for speculation as a finger-pointing post.

Meri Brown simply cannot win when it comes to her professional life.

Previously, the long-time Sister Wives star worked as a salesperson for LuLaRoe, a fashion company that pretty much everyone believes to be a pyramid scheme.

It really did seem like a pretty shady endeavor.

Now, meanwhile, Meri appears to have left that business behind…

… but many fans aren’t thrilled with what she has replaced it with.

Just a few days ago, Meri announced that she had launched a company named after a phrase she often uses on social media: Worthy Up.

“I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I had to Worthy Up,” Brown shared via the company’s Facebook page on Friday, April 26.

“This community is a place where I will share my personal experiences of growth and hope to support you in your journey, too.”

According to this Facebook page, Worthy Up is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.”

We said at the time of our reporting that we weren’t exactly sure what any of this meant; we were confused by what the company actually does.

Fast forward to May 6 and Meri talking more in depth in an Instagram video about this “passion project.”

At one point, Brown mentioned that membership costs for Worthy Up cost anywhere from $150 to $600 per year, prompting quite a bit of consternation and annoyance from a number of users.

“What is this that would cost $600 a year? Putting your self on a list? I don’t understand what this is about?” one fan asked.

“What IS it? The ‘community’ what does that mean?” another user commented, while a third fan agreed as follows:

“Is it an [MLM]? A book? A course? A podcast? What is it?? What are ppl paying for??”

We very much agree with this sentiment.

A post shared by Meri (@therealmeribrown)

In the clip above, Meri is sitting on a porch and looking down at her knees, prior to stating in a voiceover:

“I’m done allowing other people to determine my worth. My voice will be heard.”

The video then goes over to Meri in a confessional … explaining that she’s had times where she’s felt “supported,” but also times where she was in a “dark place.”

However, she knew she was “not the only person in the world” who dealt with this, saying into the camera:

“I really wanted to be able to tell the full truth about myself. And while doing that, helping other people to understand that just because they exist, they are worthy.”

This sounds very admirable.

And we appreciate the perspective Meri has often had on her life, its trials, its tribulations and all she’s gone through with Kody Brown.

Of Worthy Up this week, Meri continued:

“I’m so excited to see it come to fruition! I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I knew I had to Worthy Up!

“The community I’ve created is a place where I will be sharing my personal experiences of growth, and want to support you in yours, as well! Remember, simply because you exist, YOU are worthy!!”

The company offers three different membership tiers, according to the website.

With the $150 Insight Membership, fans get a digital membership for the remainder of 2024, as well as access to the Worthy Up Facebook group, a “printable pdf WOW workbook,” an “accountability community” and first access to knowledge about upcoming events and merchandise.

The $300 Inspiration Membership comes with all of the above, plus “one interactive virtual live discussion” per month and a Worthy Up merchandise package.

Finally, the $600 Impact Membership offers all of the above, plus a discount on events and next year’s membership and a “surprise bonus gift from Meri.”

Meri Brown is Getting CRUSHED for Cost of Joining Her New Company was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown offered some somber notes, a few hysterically funny quips, and then got a little frisky in her latest update on life outside the TLC show. But she managed to drop a few jaws among the audience with a couple of her innuendos.

She also revealed something that recently dawned on her concerning grieving for Garrison Brown. So, Meri shared a mixed bag of news from her bed and breakfast establishment in Utah on a live feed Friday night.

Sister Wives: The World According to Meri Brown

Meri Brown calls it just how she sees it. She knows that some people like her, and others don’t. But, that’s fine by her. She once wore the hat as the first wife in the Sister Wives family.

So, she’s got plenty of experience with negative comments. Despite enduring years of nasty comments coming her way, she didn’t get used to it.

Those awful zingers still hurt. But she moves on and is thankful for all the support many other fans give her.

Meri’s live venue, Friday Nights with Friends, draws a crowd to her Instagram page. Jenn Sullivan, Meri’s best friend, co-hosts. These two are a comedy act, as they feed off each other.

It’s very different from what you see in the Sister Wives series. These two can make even the most mundane acts of life look interesting. And that is what they did this weekend as they hit on things that sparked interest in fans.

A Very Loose Venue…

To set the scene of Meri Brown’s show, you have Meri and Jenn squished together. This way, their cell phone camera can pick them both up on the screen. But all too often, one of them gets cut off, most of the time, it is Jenn.

This week, Meri Brown’s dog barked excessively throughout the time they addressed their fans. As Sister Wives followers watched, a shadow would appear every so often. Jenn explained that the shadow belonged to her husband.

The poor guy paced the grounds outside waiting for his wife to finish up. But, then the fans learned that the dog was barking because her husband was outside.

Slip in a Promotion or Two

Last week, the ladies wore sweatshirts and sweatpants with the logo indicating a soda brand. This week, a can of that soda replaced the sippy cups usually seen in Meri and Jenn’s hands.

While sipping the brand, they threw in a few of the flavors they liked from this soda line. Plus, they managed to squeeze in where you can buy it. Sister Wives fans wondered if this was a paid promotion they were dishing out.

Sister Wives: What Ever Comes to Meri’s Mind

The original matriarch of the Sister Wives bunch doesn’t have an agenda for this online show. No, it’s more like they just wing it. Or you might say they run with whatever pops into their heads. And some of that is hilarious.

Jenn and her husband have appeared on the Sister Wives show with Meri Brown. While Jenn got some good airtime, her husband was only on the screen for about 30 seconds.

This week, Jenn told Meri how a Sister Wives fan recognized her husband. It sounds like that tickled his fancy to be seen as a celebrity. On the other hand, Jenn doesn’t seem at all after a celebrity status.

Risqué Talk with Meri and Jenn Sullivan

Meri, Jenn, and her husband spent a little time working around the B&B last week. Meri explained how they attempted to get a screw into a concrete wall.

So as Meri Brown and Jenn’s husband worked on that, Jenn couldn’t contain herself while hearing the conversation.

“Is the hole big enough,” started it off, but other sentences followed. While they were only discussing the work on the wall, it gave Jenn fuel for innuendos.

So, chatter about the light construction might have sounded a bit risqué if you were in earshot but couldn’t see what they were doing. And Jenn had a field day with this. But it left her husband saying this is why he doesn’t spend much time with these two together.

Sister Wives: Meri’s Grief Over Garrison Brown

Meri Brown is about to launch her next project. On Monday, May 6, she will introduce the world to her new Worthy Up business.

So far, Meri described Worthy Up as a message that everyone is worthy. Then she talked about a Sister Wives fan who used this to describe grieving.

So, Meri applied this to her grief over Garrison Brown’s passing. She implied that everyone is worthy of grieving, just like the fan, grieving a loved one. So there you have it, Meri Brown updates you on her life today, outside the TLC series.

The post Sister Wives: Meri Brown Drops a Few Jaws Updating Fans in Real-Time appeared first on Soap Dirt.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown suddenly becomes a fountain of information between seasons of her popular TLC series.

During her latest Q&A session, she even offered a disclaimer before spitting something out that could be inappropriate to hear. Well, let’s say it is something you might find written on the wall of a public restroom stall.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Sugarcoats Nothing

Meri Brown sat down to answer some questions found on Google concerning the first wife of the Sister Wives brood. One false belief about Meri blew her away when she heard what some fans think.

For some reason, there is a popular belief among some Sister Wives fans that Meri Brown is a cat person. But during this Q&A session, Meri Brown made it clear that she’s not a cat person.

What got her laughing hysterical was that this false info even came with names for those two cats some people falsely believe she owns.

Meri Not Perking Up PETA’s Ears

Meri Brown didn’t come on too strong. So she won’t encourage PETA to perk up their ears. But she stated it sternly… she’s a dog person. Meri does not want to live with cats.

To state her case even more, she said Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, her B&B, is dog-friendly. It is not a cat-friendly one.

But the Sister Wives celebrity said she didn’t tread on the cat lovers out there, some, of whom, are her close friends. So, she stated that while she doesn’t want a cat, she doesn’t hate the purring creatures. She just doesn’t want to live with felines.

Sister Wives: It’s Written On the Bathroom Stall

One of the first questions was, “Who is the real Meri Brown?”  Well, Meri had a field day with that one. She tells her Sister Wives fans that she fancies herself as someone who is “freaking hilarious”.

But if you ever tuned into her Fridays with Friends online chat fest, you would know that already. She can find something funny about even the most mundane things in life.

Then Meri puts a spin on another one of her traits. She says, “It would be very inappropriate to say I am a good time… But I am a good time.”

For some Sister Wives fans, the message, “For A Good Time Call…” popped into their heads after she said this. It’s just like that message seen in bathroom stalls across the country’s public restrooms.

It seemed Meri realized it too, or she wouldn’t have offered up the disclaimer that it might sound inappropriate. But it didn’t matter to the first wife of the Sister Wives show.

It’s all in good fun for Meri Brown. Plus, her sense of humor helps keep her fans entertained during the hiatus between seasons. So, next time you read the old “For A Good Time Call,” maybe you will think about this TLC celebrity.

The post Sister Wives: Meri’s Message Fit for Public Restroom Wall appeared first on Soap Dirt.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown has likely seen enough in her lifetime that she could curl some toes if she penned a book about before, during, and after her time on the TLC series. While she previously mentioned doing this, more recent hints suggest a book might be in the cards sometime soon.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Said It with Thunder

Meri Brown isn’t someone who usually gives you the chills when she talks. But there was a time last season when she offered up, what some fans thought sounded like, a warning.

Again, Meri Brown doesn’t put thunder in her words. For that matter, fans say she doesn’t fluctuate her voice much at all.

But this one time when she wanted to make a point, Sister Wives fans suggested she looked driven and sounded extremely serious about setting things straight.

Fans suggest her desire to write a book was sparked by Kody Brown announcing to the world that he didn’t consider Meri his wife. Then he added a few more disparaging words about his first wife from the Sister Wives brood.

Meri wouldn’t stay silent. Then, at one point, she told the fans of the TLC show that she was not done having her say. In a deeper voice than usual, she said, “Oh, my voice will be heard. I will no longer be silent.”

Meri – The Evidence Is There

One of the most horrific things Meri Brown had to endure was Kody saying he didn’t love her and then suggesting that he was manipulated into their marriage.

The Sister Wives fans heard him, but he might have forgotten something. Maybe it slipped his mind that he once gushed about his first wife in a public venue.

But Meri clapped back after saying that he never really loved her. Despite what he was saying now, decades after he married her, his first wife is adamant that he once loved her.

For that matter, so was Kody Brown when he penned a bestseller with his four wives. In that book, Kody recalls spending three years in a monogamous marriage with Meri before taking on other wives. And he wrote in the book – drum roll please, “I loved Meri, I was certain of it.”

He also wrote, “We were very much in love.” Today he calls it manipulation, but in the Sister Wives book, he calls it love and a special connection he felt with her.

So, if Meri decides to write that book, she could point this out to her fans. Maybe she will settle the debate on whether Kody Brown said this to keep the Sister Wives viewers’ interest. Hey, you build drama, they will come.

Sister Wives: What’s Up with Robyn Brown?

Meri Brown seemed to lose out to Robyn Brown in the end. Or, at least that’s what it looked like to Sister Wives viewers. She wanted to stay in her marriage, but Kody made it clear the best he could do for her was pretend.

Before “Just Jenn,” who is Meri’s best friend today, Robyn Brown played that role for Meri. But Sister Wives fans think there was more to them than meets the eye.

Was this just the convenient thing to say for the sake of the show, or were they best friends?

Fans love Jenn Sullivan, and many viewers wish they could find a best friend like her. But Robyn and Meri seemed to fall by the wayside.

While nothing was said, this is one thing they hope she’d address in her book if she writes one. They want to know the real scoop on their friendship.

Any way you look at it, Meri Brown has over a million followers online. And many of them believe she endured some awful stuff through the years of Sister Wives seasons.

So, she would likely pen herself a bestseller, as many folks would love to get their hands on a book that works as a tell-all from behind the scenes of the TLC series.

Some fans are already asking about pre-orders. This is impressive, considering there’s no official word from Meri Brown on whether she’s writing a book or not at this time.

But, going by the comments online, if this is the case, it sounds like her book could be a big seller.

Meri Brown is back on the market.

The veteran Sister Wives cast member terminated her marriage with Kody Brown back in January 2023.

She then dated some guy named Amos for a few months, but announced the couple’s split this past February.

So, what does Meri’s dating life looking like at the moment? Is she actively seeking a partner?

When asked on Instagram on April 29 she was seeing anyone special, Meri replied, “Not exclusively,” although she’s “gone out on a few dates.”

The TLC personality then elaborated as follows:

“Prince Charming has not arrived. I’m not really looking for a prince. No, I’m looking for a king. There’s a bit of an energetic difference there. A prince is still a boy. I want a man who knows who he is.”

As many viewers would attest to, over the course of the last few seasons of Sister Wives, Kody has very much NOT acted like a man.

“I want somebody who knows who he is and is confident in who he is,” Meri continued.

“Because I know who I am and I’m confident in who I am and I need somebody who can match my energy. When we cross paths, we’ll know it.”

Indeed, Brown just launched a company called Worthy Up.

It’s based on valuing oneself and, according to the official Facebook page, is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.”

Meri has been candid with fans for awhile now about her interest in self-growth.

Just considering how profound she got when explaining her break-up with Amos.

“Life is a series of experiences. How you handle them and what you learn from them is who you become from them.

“It takes courage to face difficult truths, yet it’s imperative in order to remain authentic to yourself and your commitment to personal growth,” Meri wrote to open a lengthy caption two months ago.

The long-time reality star went on:

“Just because I care a lot about someone, and him me, does not equate to full compatibility for a long-term relationship.

“When we have different dreams and aspirations, different communication styles and values, different visions for our futures, and these things aren’t aligning, it’s then that we need to make hard decisions.

“It’s a strange and sad thing to care about someone so deeply, to look beyond their past, because heaven knows we all have one, to see the kindness in their eyes and their giving heart, and still know that a life long relationship isn’t in the cards for you.”

The businesswoman added that she’s choosing to “look into my future with the hope of new opportunities” in the wake of the split, concluding:

“This is a time in my life to prioritize me, my well-being, and my personal evolution, and I look forward to more adventures and experiences on this journey we call life!”

Meri Brown: Okay, THIS is What I’m Looking for in a Man… was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown plays it way too smoothly these days, keeping fans interested between the seasons of the popular TLC series. This gathers some comments suggesting she’s not fooling anyone but herself.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Basks in Fame?

Since announcing her marriage to Kody Brown was over, Meri Brown worked hard at branching out alone. Although many might debate, she started her solo act when opening her B&B without the Sister Wives’ spouses involved.

So reinventing herself seemed to be the path she went on. But Some fans of the Sister Wives celeb think she took it too far.

Fans liked the down-to-earth Meri Brown, as the average woman could relate to her. Fans liked that she seemed not to mind the lines and creases that came along with her natural looks. But now it looks like this Sister Wives celebrity didn’t see it that way.

At first, Meri’s selfies came with many facial expressions, but they were just Meri being Meri. Now the Sister Wives fans weigh in with what they see changing today.

Meri Asked to Leave It Alone…

Sister Wives fans notice the touch-up jobs that Meri seems to do on her photos today. They are no longer subtle. There’s not a line to be found on some of her newer postings.

But that’s not all, as some fans now see her going too far to the point of slightly distorting her face with her photo tune-ups. Meri’s once round face started to look alien-like to one fan.

Meri is certainly not alone, it seems more and more people use filters on social media. It’s all about putting your best foot forward. Or, in this case, your best face. But fans suggest she’s veered too far from subtle these days.

Fame from the Sister Wives series opened a lot of doors for all the spouses of the now-failed polygamous marriage. Each of them, except Robyn Brown, has used that to their advantage for money making.

What they do best lately is to sell, sell, sell to their million-plus captive audience of followers. So, while the first three original wives promote and sell products, Kody Brown has his own thing going on. He’s online selling personalized video messages to fans on Cameo.

Sister Wives: Don’t Do Away with Your Best Asset

Fame does funny things to otherwise ordinary people. And one of the draws to Meri Brown is that she managed to stay ordinary, like her fans, as that fame grew.

But today, her fans see a change, like she’s succumbed to the fame. She’s creating a plastic look to herself in many online posts. Those smooth moves of brushing out even the slightest blemish on a picture have fans begging her to stop.

Sister Wives fans debate whether some of her latest posts look like her. In the photos above, the top line comes from her selfies. The bottom line pictures are random screenshots from the series.

Some fans worry that her ego grows a bit too big today. What originally made Meri Brown popular was her appeal to the average person.

But as she glams up her pictures, she starts to look like fame went to her head, and fans of her TLC series beg her to stop. They see behind the flawless photos into the real Meri Brown.

Worthy up.

It’s something Meri Brown has written on Instagram for many months.

But t’s now a lot more than a saying for this veteran Sister Wives cast member.

It’s a way of life — and also a brand new business.

Late this past week, Brown informed fans and followers that has launched a company titled — perhaps you’ve guessed it by now — Worthy Up.

“[Worthy Up] has been in the works for a while, and it’s so fun to see it finally come to fruition! I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I had to Worthy Up,” Meri shared via the company’s Facebook page on Friday, April 26.

“This community is a place where I will share my personal experiences of growth and hope to support you in your journey, too.”

We’ll be honest: We’re not totally sure what Worthy Up is or does just yet… but look below! It has merchandise!

A post shared by Meri (@therealmeribrown)

According to the Facebook bio, Worthy Up is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.”

Earlier that same day, Brown teased the new project on social media, causing fans to buzz with guesses about the possible announcement.

“Curious??” the mom of one captioned a blurred-out image, adding a wink face emoji and a “Worthy Up” hashtag. “4 p.m. MST today.”

Those who have been following Meri’s social media journey over the past year or so have read many inspirational messages from the TLC personality.

Meri and Kody Brown terminated their marriage in January 2023, following a lengthy period of dissatisfaction — and zero romance.

“You don’t need to earn anything, prove anything, or be anything other than who you are,” Meri wrote at one point, for example.

“You deserve love, you deserve to be seen and heard, and you deserve to exist as you are and in your full glory, simply because you’re YOU!”

This is the sort of post observers had tried to impart on Meri for years… after she insisted on staying with Kody despite the father of 17 making it clear he was totally over her as a romantic partner.

“We all have moments where we feel unworthy, or feel like we have to prove something, or even worse, allow other people’s opinions or pressures of the world around us, to dictate who we are,” Meri added in September.

“Let’s stop that!”

In December 2022, Meri wrote:

“If you don’t want to make waves, keep on being mediocre. Do the thing that everyone else is doing. Seek everyone else’s opinion and validation. Do what everyone else thinks you should do.

“Or … Do your thing. Do your thing in your own time and on your own terms. Let them judge you. Let them talk about you. Let them create their own ‘stories’ about you.”

Despite the end of her union, meanwhile, Meri has remained quite positive any time she addresses the public.

Just a few days ago, she acknowledged her failed marriage in this manner:

“34 years ago today, I got married. 34 years ago was the start of this family that so many of you have come to love or, well, not so much. Yes, I know full well that we are a very polarizing topic.

“At that time, and in the many years following, I never anticipated a divorce was in my future.

“I don’t regret my marriage, and I don’t regret my divorce.”

Meri Brown Launches New Business, Tells Everyone to WORTHY UP was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown sobs uncontrollably, with the TLC celebrity attributing her emotions to something that went missing. This is what caused her tears in a recent post.

Meri’s fans, who tune into her Friday with Friends online chat fest, know she’ll likely never get it back. By now, the Sister Wives celebrity’s missing object is likely a shriveled speck, swept up with a broom. Or, in a far-fetched theory, framed on a wall somewhere as celeb memorabilia.

Sister Wives: So What Did Meri Brown Lose?

This week, Meri Brown reflected on what would have been her 34th wedding anniversary with Kody Brown. She loves the guy, so reading her thoughts on this special day was hard for Meri’s fans. Despite saying, she’s happy now, fans think she’d still be with Kody if he hadn’t changed.

So, yes, Meri Brown lost the only man she probably ever loved, but that’s not what her tears were about. The week before last, Meri read the results of her colonoscopy test out loud to fans.

During her live-streaming show, the original Sister Wives matriarch shared the bad news her doctor sent in a letter. While it was surely bad news, it’s not the news you might expect to hear after that uncomfortable procedure.

So, it seems Meri Brown didn’t lose a thing. However, according to her doctor, the technician did. But this didn’t stop Meri Brown from having fun with it. At one point she even offered a $1000 reward for the return of that polyp.

Meri’s Letter – You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

The Sister Wives star read this letter while sitting with her co-host, Jenn Sullivan. If you have ever seen these two together on Fridays with Friends, then you know there’s not a dry eye in the house for the audience.

These two are magical with their ability to feed off one another for laughs. The first round of laughter comes after Meri reads the greeting.

The doctor passed along that it was a pleasure to meet her. Meri Brown pointed out it was a three-second hello and then down to business. So, she filled in the fans about the doctor spending more time on her backside rather than with her face-to-face.

Sister Wives: Tears Flow in Photo

As Meri read two more bits of information, she and Jenn revved up the laughter. First, the doctor informed the Sister Wives star that the polyp removed during that procedure was missing.

It seems the technician lost it. So, now Meri and Jenn have a good laugh over this missing polyp.  They even had a theory that it might have been stolen, after all, Meri Brown is a celebrity.

So, it could be hanging in a frame in someone’s living room. Then the letter read that the lab ran the tests on what they thought was her polyp. But it turned out that they only biopsied a speck of fecal matter. Yep, that got Meri and Jenn rolling in laughter to the point of snorting, they couldn’t contain themselves.

So, Meri Brown didn’t let this go. Today, she posted the photo above to demonstrate the emotional jar she got from learning her polyp went missing. While Meri did have tears in her eyes while sharing the contents of that letter, they were tears of laughter coming from the star of the TLC series.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown revealed that her honeymoon with Kody Brown, left her with a condition, and Jenn Sullivan had a field day after hearing this. This condition could be seriously debilitating at times for the TLC star.

But she lived with it all these years, probably because it’s fleeting. Today she knows the cause and learned about a quick treatment that should fix it.

But on her Friday with Friends show, Jenn asked a question about Kody’s part in this. And that question had the two best friends rolling in the aisle with laughter, with the fans also finding this hilariously funny.

Sister Wives: World According to Meri Brown & Jenn Sullivan

Meri Brown and Jenn Sullivan chat about many things during their live show with fans. But if you tune in, the one thing you can always count on is a good laugh.

Maybe “The World According to Jenn and Meri” would better describe their show. Their perspectives often offer a different take on things. But most of all, these two always conjure up a good laugh.

Many Sister Wives fans make this show a Friday night online destination. While these two talk about nothing, fans still find them extremely entertaining.

But this week Meri revealed she suffers from bouts of dizziness and has for a long time. She said it started 34 years ago. Furthermore, the Sister Wives star was able to supply the exact date.

This confused Jenn Sullivan a bit at first, as that was many years ago to remember a date. But, then she learned the date and time Meri offered was during her honeymoon with Kody Brown. So, of course, she’d remember the date.

Started During Meri & Kody Brown’s Honeymoon?

Meri shared with Jenn Sullivan that these bouts of dizziness started during her honeymoon with Kody Brown. From what Jenn and Meri described, the Sister Wives celebrity becomes dizzy. Sometimes it gets to the point that she can’t stand up. Then it goes away.

They talked about the crystals in this Sister Wives star’s ear being out of alignment. This condition often causes vertigo, called BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).

According to the Mayo Clinic, “BPPV is caused by loose particles of calcium in the inner ear”. These particles are microscopic crystals that belong in the inner ear. They should be attached to one of the balance organs.

But with BPPV, “these particles drift into one of the balance canals, where they don’t belong.” So how do these crystals become dislodged? This condition usually develops after the ear becomes damaged. But there’s an easy fix, called the canalith repositioning procedure.

This non-evasive procedure only involves several simple head movements. When done by a healthcare provider, they can reposition these crystals into a place within the ear, where they won’t cause problems. This procedure usually works, according to reputable health websites.

Sister Wives: Jenn Runs With Meri – Kody Honeymoon

So, once the serious stuff is out of the way, the curious Jenn gets a laugh going. When Meri said it started during her honeymoon, Jenn pipes up and suggests that stress did it.

Through the laughter, Meri denied that, but Jenn was only beginning to crack the jokes about how Meri got the condition in the first place. That’s because she returned from her honeymoon suffering bouts of dizziness.

But now it looks like her crystals are loose and playing havoc on her center of gravity. So, still laughing, Jenn Sullivan asked Meri Brown about her honeymoon with Kody. More exactly, she wanted to know just what he put in her ear while on their honeymoon. And that did it.

Jenn didn’t have to say anymore or mention Kody Brown’s name again. Meri, and the fans who were watching this live, got it.

So, Jenn Sullivan’s joke painted quite the picture for the mind’s eye of how Meri Brown’s ear crystals became loose while on her honeymoon with Kody Brown, the patriarch of the TLC series.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown sure looks like she’s making up for lost time today as the ex-wife from the TLC series takes control of the camera.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Let Kody Brown Lead

Meri Brown followed Kody Brown‘s lead for years as the Sister Wives series graced the screen. Kody once said that he leads and even if his wives did not agree with his direction, they were expected to follow him just the same.

Meri seemed content with the Sister Wives patriarch having the last word, as did his other wives for many years on the show. But then, the word patriarch became a topic that Janelle Brown spoke out against.

She didn’t go for the patriarch model. But still, she joined the other wives when they seemed content about Kody having the final say. Viewers saw this with several events, such as packing up and moving.

So, most of the time that the Sister Wives series aired, Meri Brown seemed content to go with the flow of the family. But today she’s on her own, so she sets the direction for herself. But lately, some fans think she’s carrying this too far. She’s gone from one extreme to another when taking over today.

Meri Makes Sure She’s Front and Center

With Sister Wives between seasons, fans keep an eye on social media as Meri Brown, Christine Brown, and Janelle Brown are pretty good about posting for their fans. Most of the time, they update them on their daily lives.

Meri Brown does her Friday with Friends chat fest online with her co-host and best friend, Jenn Sullivan. Finally, last week, she brought up something the fans have talked about online for some time now.

Meri and Jenn both use their phone camera to do this online show. But if they are in the same location, they sit in front of Meri Brown’s camera phone. There’s a problem with this, and Meri admitted it last week. This Sister Wives celebrity seems to push Jenn off to the side.

Sister Wives: Jenn Ends Up a Little Left of Center

Sometimes Meri Brown is so overpowering with the camera, that fans only end up seeing part of Jenn’s eye in the shot. Plus, Meri tends to talk over Jenn or cut her off so she can talk about what’s on her mind.

But “Just Jenn,” as she calls herself, makes an excellent best friend for Meri because she doesn’t seem to care about camera exposure. She’s not looking at capturing the spotlight.

Sister Wives fans suggest that Meri might not even realize she does this. But others point out that she’s been in the background as Kody talked for such a long time, she’s just feeling her oats.

So, fans ask that she give Jenn some room in front of the camera. Plus, they ask Meri Brown to let her best friend finish her sentences.

Jenn has become a breakout Sister Wives star for some fans. They see that Jenn has Meri’s back. But most of all when the two of them get together, they fill the room with laughter. And, that’s the best medicine there is, whether Meri needs it or not.

Sister Wives fans hope they see more of Jenn in the upcoming new season of the TLC series. They like her so much they would even take her with one eye peeping from behind Meri Brown.

The post Sister Wives: Meri Goes Overboard Controlling Camera? appeared first on Soap Dirt.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown seemed in rare form during her latest fan excursion online as the TLC star offered a $1000 reward for something that could bring her a regret or two. You know that saying… be careful what you ask for? Well, it looks like this could work out that way for her.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Had Quite the Tale to Tell

If you tuned in to Meri Brown’s Friday with Friends and watched her and her best friend Jenn Sullivan, you likely had a good laugh on Friday. Not just a chuckle, but a real belly laugh because these two are hysterical when they get going.

Meri’s very bizarre tale and Jenn’s commentary stole the show, it’s likely not like anything you’d see on the Sister Wives show. These two laughed so hard that you couldn’t understand what they were saying at times. But that was okay because you probably found yourself in hysterics as well.

So, Meri Brown had a letter to read. By anyone’s standards, this was a personal letter addressed to the Sister Wives celeb, but she shared it with her fans. This letter is probably not something that you would read to anyone outside of family or a close friend, but not Meri Brown, she shared it with the world.

Meri Reads Her Letter

Fans who watch Friday with Friends know that Meri had a colonoscopy a while back. The letter Meri shared was the results of that test. Or maybe the non-results of that test sound like a better description of what this number one wife from Sister Wives received.

The first round of laughs came from Jenn and Meri, as the Sister Wives star read the opening sentence. The doctor, who met her for a few seconds before the procedure, said it was a pleasure to meet her.

They got a kick out of a doctor calling it a pleasure when all she got to meet was Meri’s backside. But that was just a lukewarm start to the kicker.

After the pleasantries, the word “unfortunately” followed. It seems an unfortunate event transpired there in the colonoscopy room and the Sister Wives fans are now privy to this.

The doctor removed one small polyp, but it seems they lost it, or as the letter said, the technician lost it. This caused the laughter to roar from these two.

Another equally funny report followed this in that letter. It detailed what they sent to the lab.

The lab did not receive the polyp, instead, a small piece of fecal matter was sent. To top it off, these professional folks spelled matter, “mater”.

Sister Wives: Now Labeled Stolen Goods

Meri Brown and Jenn Sullivan took the topic of the missing polyp and ran with it. These two were like watching a comedy team, with one playing off the other. So, Meri and Jenn offer a theory that the polyp wasn’t lost, but stolen.

That said, they plan to keep an eye on eBay to see if it goes up for sale. But neither are quite sure what a celebrity polyp brings in for bids today.

Of course, they are joking through all this and the fans join in by messaging the famous Sister Wives best friends as their show rolls along.

One fan suggested Meri put the now famous Sister Wives polyp on a milk carton. Another suggested she call the FBI. Then the ladies decided to offer a reward for the missing “anal polyp”, and this is where it could get sticky.

Sister Wives: Reward Offered for the Return of Meri’s Anal Polyp

Meri Brown should know by now that she has to be careful about what she says to the fans. Because in a case like this, someone may take her up on her need to get it back.

This Sister Wives celebrity pretty much dared “content creators” to write about her missing polyp. Right then and there, Jenn wrote up a reward notice.

Then Meri Brown asked everyone to take a screenshot of it. Her next request was that her Sister Wives fans pass it around online.

Be Careful What You Ask For…

Meri Brown’s address might have been hard to find years ago, when Sister Wives first aired, but not today. She lives at Lizzie’s Heritage Inn. She’s made no secret of that, so her address is easy to find.

What is she going to do if someone takes her up on her hunt for her polyp? While no one would likely take this seriously, they know how Meri and Jenn love to joke around.

So Meri is taking a chance of someone getting into their act and sending her a polyp or something that looks like one. While most people would not know what that looks like, a quick Google search should enlighten them.

So will this Sister Wives star find herself getting little packages delivered with the contents claiming to be her missing Polyp? Better yet, will someone request that $1000 reward for a polyp they send?

Maybe someone out there will call her bluff. They could send a polyp and claim this is the one Meri Brown lost, calling Meri and Jenn’s bluff.

So, it would be interesting to see what packages come her way via the mail for this famous ex-wife from the TLC reality series. There’s always a chance that Meri Brown opened a can of worms with the reward for her lost polyp.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown posts many photos of Jenn Sullivan, her best friend, but she is often behind Meri or cut off by the TLC celebrity in those pictures. But now it looks like Jenn has something to share, whether she wants to or not.

Despite keeping this under wraps. It wasn’t until Meri posted a photo that fans realized something had been quietly going on behind the scenes with Jenn Sullivan.

Sister Wives Meri Brown Has Something Special

Meri Brown introduced her best friend, Jenn Sullivan, to fans online, long before she surfaced on the Sister Wives screen. Season 18 brought Jenn to the screen, and those who didn’t know her through Meri’s social media posts finally met her best friend.

Meri is one lucky lady, which is the consensus of many of her fans. Jenn is the kind of best friend most people want. With Season 19 shimmering on the burner, many fans predict “Just Jenn,” as she calls herself, will become a breakout star on Sister Wives.

So what’s so special about Jenn? She doesn’t need to be front and center. She’s usually seen behind Meri or cut off to the side of a photo.

Plus, she genuinely seems to love her best friend. Not romantically, as some Sister Wives fans tried to suggest online a while back. No, the happily married Jenn likely loves Meri like a sister.

Jenn Sullivan Behind Meri

Meri’s best friend is a breath of fresh air, as she never has a disparaging word to say about anyone. So, when she pops up on the Sister Wives screen, it usually means laughter follows.

She has a terrific sense of humor. But most of all, she seems okay with standing behind Meri Brown, almost as if she prefers the background to the limelight.

No one recognizes how special Jenn Sullivan is to Meri Brown more than the first Sister Wives star herself. A recently posted tribute to her friend suggests the reality star is thankful to have her in her life.

It’s because Jenn Sullivan stays in the background or off to the side in many posted pictures that you don’t often see all of her. But recently that changed, as Meri Brown posted a photo of her best friend that shows something not seen before.

Sister Wives: Jenn’s Secret Weight Loss?

Fans say Jenn Sullivan looks like she dropped some weight, in one of the few full-length photos of her to pop up. Meri Brown celebrated her friend with some photos, and the one on the bottom right below was tucked in among the group.

But again, most of them were just face shots, except for one. That photo shows Jenn Sullivan looking fit and trim. So, when we see Meri’s best friend on Sister Wives Season 19, she likely debuts that weight loss.

But because this is Jenn, she probably won’t want to make a big deal out of it. But the Sister Wives fans will likely notice something different about Meri Brown’s bestie when the TLC series rolls out the next season.

Where does Meri Brown live these days?

In 2023, the Sister Wives star embarked on a brand new chapter in life.

Meri — who announced her marriage was over back on January 10 — updated her personal and business address to Parowan, Utah later that same year.

As the family had purchased the Coyote Pass estate in Arizona for all four of Kody’s wives to reside on with their own house, the news came as a shock to many.

It also seemed to signify the end of Meri’s relationship with Kody.

But where exactly is Meri living right now?

Meri Brown Lives In Utah – AND Arizona!

Last season on Sister Wives, Meri revealed her move to Utah to Robyn in an emotional scene.

Feeling that Kody doesn’t “give a crap” about her anymore, she explains she intends to split her time between Flagstaff and Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, the bed-and-breakfast she owns in Parowan, Utah. Meri bought that property, which used to be owned by her family generations ago, in 2017.

The arrangement sounds stressful, but ultimately feels like the best move for her after everything that’s happened.

“I’m gonna have an address. I’m gonna be here. I’m gonna sleep there. I just will also be up there,” Meri tells Robyn.

Meri’s Home in Coyote Pass For Rent

Meri moved to Arizona five years ago previously with Kody and sister wives Janelle, Christine and Robyn.

After the pair split, she retained her portion of the family estate and her home in Arizona, though there was friction over keeping it.

Following the breakup, it was revealed on the show that Meri felt Kody was attempting to push her off of the land. But Meri wasn’t having it.

“It seems he’s already made the decision and I don’t think that’s fair because regardless of the fact that he and I haven’t had a relationship for, you know, eight or 10 years, or however long it’s been, I’m still part of the family and I still financially put into it,” she said in an episode of Sister Wives. “And so I deserve to have some of the property, and not just what he decides I’m worthy of.” 

In Spring 2023, according to a Zillow listing available online and reports from InTouch, the TLC personality’s Flagstaff, Arizona home was put up for rent.

The residence will be available (for $5,800 per month) for move-in on May 15.

Shortly after this posting went viral, blogger Without a Crystal Ball shared an Instagram post alleging that the Lizzie’s Heritage Inn owner was “spotted with a moving truck, a film crew and Kody Brown over the weekend.”

So, does Meri actually split her time between the two properties? It’s been over a year since this all went down and in truth, there’s little evidence to suggest that Meri spends any time in the Arizona home.

She has not posted any photos on Instagram or has been spotted on the property with Robyn, who still lives there.

The End Of Meri’s Time With The ‘Sister Wives’ Family

In November 2021, however, Christine split from her polygamous spouse and quickly relocated to Utah; Janelle has always walked away from an unhealthy relationship, although we believe she still resides in Flagstaff.

“After more than a decade of working on our relationship in our own unique ways, we have made the decision to permanently terminate our marriage relationship,” a joint statement posted to Meri and Kody’s respective Instagram pages read three months ago.

“During this process, we are committed to kindness and respect toward each other and to all the members of our family.

“We are also committed to the continued healing of any and all relationships within the family so that we can move forward with forgiveness, grace and love.”

In the ensuing weeks, Meri has undergone a makeover and has posted a number of inspirational messages on social media.

Four days ago, in fact, Meri said she wanted to let Instagram followers in on a “secret,” writing on her account:

The version of you that you are right now is why you have what you have.

If you want something different, you need to do something different, and become someone different. The big dreams you have will require a new and improved version of yourself.

Don’t give up on yourself. Do something daily that will move you closer to your dreams and goals.

Looking ahead, TLC is filming new episodes of this series for Sister Wives Season 18.

It will likely include Meri interacting a decent amount with Kody, as the mother of one has emphasized she has no hard feelings against her ex.

“I am not, and pray that I never will be, in a place where I will enjoy making, or seeing you make, rude and demeaning comments about him,” Meri told critics in January.

This stance may explain why some people out there think Meri may still get back together with Kody someday.

Meri Brown: Where Does She Live, Plus Her Utah Bed & Breakfast Details was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown is under fire after her joking behavior this week came too soon for critics following their family tragedy. This happened during her Fridays with Friends show, which she does live online. The popular TLC celebrity started a debate online after laughing and joking so soon after the tragic death of Garrison Brown.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Wouldn’t Talk About Garrison Brown

Meri Brown made it clear to her fans who communicate with her in the comment section during her live video. She wouldn’t talk about the death of Garrison Brown.

Meri did this out of respect for his mother, Janelle Brown, and the rest of the family. Plus, she said it would only start her crying again, and she didn’t want to cry.

But Meri offered up some news. She said the Sister Wives family spent much time together over the last week, which she saw as positive. Then her co-host, Jenn Sullivan, mentioned the overwhelming amount of donations made in Garrison’s name to animal agencies.

So, Meri thanked the Sister Wives fans for their generosity. And it not only brought a tear to her eye but to Jenn’s as well.

Critics Say Too Soon…

Meri Brown and Jenn Sullivan eventually started their normal chat fest, which you can catch almost every Friday night online. The Sister Wives celeb and her best friend became silly as they joked about the mundane stuff in life.

They discussed ordinary stuff, such as this week’s “Rotor-Rooter” procedure for Meri. This is how she referred to her colonoscopy.

But, simultaneously, Meri used this as a public service message. She spread the word about the importance of this probe to the Sister Wives followers.

Meri and Jenn kept up the laughs as they talked about things “without substance” and critics jumped in. They thought it was in bad taste to laugh and joke as her family’s tragedy is still so raw today.

But Meri was carrying on about the ups and downs in daily life, it had nothing to do with their loss. And while some critics lambasted the duo, others thought it was an important part of the healing process.

Sister Wives: Meri’s Fans Have Her Back

Meri Brown is estranged from her co-wives, as well as, separated from Kody Brown. But that doesn’t mean they still don’t care about one another. They spent over two decades raising their 18 kids as one big family.

So, feelings for each other’s kids don’t stop with their divorces from the Sister Wives patriarch. Many fans commented that laughter is a good thing for the healing process.

Some fans even mentioned sharing laughter at funeral services over the happy times with their deceased loved ones. While the nay saying fans thought Meri’s actions were in bad taste, it appears many more had her back.

So, while critics tried to shame the two best friends for having fun, others had the Sister Wives star’s back. Meri Brown’s fans from the TLC series jumped in and suggested she doesn’t need to be criticized for sharing laughter, even during times like this. So, many fans suggest that she keeps right on laughing despite the critics.

Meri Brown is in absolute and complete shock.

She’s also deeply in mourning, as one would expect.

The Sister Wives star has updated her Instagram account to reflect the tribute previously posted by her ex-spouse, Kody, and her TLC colleague, Janelle, in the wake of their son’s heartbreaking suicide.

As previously reported, Garrison Brown took his own life on Tuesday at the age of 25.

Echoing what Janelle and Kody wrote shortly after this horrific news was made public, Meri wrote online:

Our family is deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy, Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him.

This loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, and it takes our breath away.

We ask that you please respect our privacy during this time and join us in honoring his memory.

Garrison, you are loved and will be missed!

A post shared by Meri Brown (@therealmeribrown)

At the moment, the only details we can gather about what transpired come courtesy of Lieutenant Charles M. Hernandez II of the Flagstaff Police Department, who said the following yesterday afternoon:

“On 03/05/2024 Flagstaff Police officers responded to a report of a death inside a home.”

The same department also confirmed that Garrison’s brother Gabriel “discovered Mr. Brown deceased” in an apparent suicide.

Just unimaginable, you know?

While fans wonder if Sister Wives will be canceled as a result of this tragedy, Garrison’s siblings — Savannah, Madison, Paedon — all shared their mother’s tribute on Instagram as well.

Gwendlyn Brown, meanwhile, uploaded a message that read in part:

“We appreciate the love and support from all those who have given it. We ask that everyone please respect our privacy and space through this hard time.”

Garrison, as TLC viewers know well, appeared on a number of Sister Wives episodes over the years.

His fractured relationship with father Kody was front and center on Season 16 because both Garrison and his brother, Gabriel, pretty much stopped talking to their dad due to his very strict COVID-19 restrictions.

In a confessional interview at one point in 2022, Janelle expressed concern over her children’s lack of connection with their father, who told them they could not see any friends or significant other while the pandemic was ongoing.

“I have worried about my boys’ mental health. Gabriel feels everything very, very deeply. But he’s also the kid who doesn’t say anything,” Janelle said back then.

She later added that Garrison “just seems angry or sadder, like, he’s not as happy-go-lucky as he used to be.”

Fast forward to today and these words cut so much deeper.

Garrison Brown enlisted with the Nevada National Guard in 2015 at 17 years old, graduating from basic training the following year.

He’d wanted to join the Army, according to report, but Kody urged him to complete school before doing so.

During the pandemic, amid this feud with his dad, Garrison moved into his own residence.

Said Kody last year, when asked about where things stood between himself, Garrison and Gabriel:

“I haven’t been in touch with Gabriel and Garrison for quite a while.

“I’m pretty sad that I’m not close [to them] anymore. There was just so many things in our lives that we did that were rich together, you know, just special experiences.

“I think and hope that in time we’ll just get over this and that we’ll be safe being back around each other. Right now, there’s not really an open door with Gabe and Garrison.

“They’re they’re not willing to engage me.”

TLC, for its part, has issued a statement that reads:

“We are devastated to hear of the tragic loss of Garrison Brown. We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the Brown family at this difficult time.”

We’ll update this story and this website with more news as it breaks.

We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Garrison Brown. May he rest in peace.

Meri Brown Mourns Stunning Loss of Garrison Brown: I’m Blown Away… was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown couldn’t have done it better if she had a team of PR people working for her, but instead, she had a secret weapon during the hiatus between seasons from the TLC series.

No, instead she has Jenn Sullivan, as her best friend, and someone who seems to always have her back, both on and off her reality show. Just recently things were on the cusp of going sideways for her, that is until Jenn jumped in and set things straight.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Had No Idea?

Meri Brown parting ways with Amos Andrews is old news. While she addressed this breakup with her fans, she also had to take into consideration what her fans knew about Amos by the time she announced the split.

The mess started as soon as Meri revealed her new boyfriend to the Sister Wives fans. This prompted critics to dig deep, which allegedly led them to some less-than-stellar findings about the guy. Some of the things said could fall under rumors. But others, such as four divorces, would come with documentation. So, it’s hard to put several divorces under the category of rumors.

So, as a new girlfriend, she had gushed about this guy. She even alluded to him as her new love interest, without using the word “love.” That worked out as a good thing for her because her best pal, Jenn Sullivan, picked up on that. Jenn also used it to rescue her best friend, in a big way.

Many Sister Wives fans surmised that Meri Brown found herself blindsided by the reports about Amos. If she knew about his alleged past beforehand, she likely wouldn’t have put him on her live Fridays with Friends. But she did, and she even planted one huge kiss on the guy as the camera rolled. The fans were privy to her behaviors, so to them, she looked quite serious in this relationship.

Meri Slammed on the Brakes

Once Meri Brown’s boyfriend’s alleged past deeds made the headlines, this didn’t put him in a good light with the Sister Wives followers. Then Meri became suspiciously quiet online, even skipping her Friday show. So, fans surmised she was keeping to herself because of the awful stuff swirling around online about her new beau.

When she did return, she took things slowly. After going public with her new boyfriend, the next time she did her Friday show, she told fans that he got scared away.

She said nothing else regarding the man she gushed over when she introduced him to Sister Wives fans. So, fans took this as a hint that they parted ways. Next, she posted a lot of cryptic messages about personal growth, which all pointed to Meri Brown being single again. So, it was as if she was trying to prepare her fans for her announcement.

Sister Wives: Jenn Sullivan Steps In

Meri Brown finally posted a message revealing that she called it quits with Amos. So, in the aftermath, fans assumed she jumped the gun and didn’t vet this guy before making her relationship public. Sister Wives fans thought she acted as if she were madly in love with him during that one Friday with Friends venue she had him on.

But when Meri came clean about parting ways with the guy, some Sister Wives fans took it upon themselves to offer reprimands. They started to shake that proverbial finger at her. Some even tried to shame the original Sister Wives matriarch for being fooled a second time while trying to find love. She was catfished years back and now this, so some fans suggested she is just too gullible.

Fans ask questions during Meri Brown’s Fridays with Friends show, with Jenn Sullivan as her co-host. Then one fan asked Meri why her new love didn’t show up on the show again. Jenn jumped on that. She slammed that question, but she did so nicely.

True Friend in Jenn…

Jenn was adamant when stating no one said anything about love. She played this down for Meri. So, by the time Jenn was done, you were left with the impression that Meri was only “dating”  Amos and nothing more. So, Jenn left fans with the impression that Amos was nothing more than casual dating for Meri Brown.

That seemed to do the trick, as Meri no longer seemed to get reprimanded on social media for her choice of men. Plus, headlines dried up about her choice of a now ex-boyfriend. Instead, fans seem to follow Jenn’s lead and side with Meri. Some even felt sorry for her that it didn’t work out.

But most now give her thumbs up for recognizing the problem and then moving on. So, Meri Brown has a guardian angel as a best friend, and fans hope to see more of Jenn Sullivan on the TLC series.

The post Sister Wives: Meri Rescued from Embarrassing Headlines? appeared first on Soap Dirt.

Meri Brown is back on the market.

As you may have heard, the long-time Sister Wives star broke up a few days ago with Amos Andrews, her lover of about four months.

Brown issued a lengthy statement on Instagram regarding the split, writing in part:

“It takes courage to face difficult truths, yet it’s imperative in order to remain authentic to yourself and your commitment to personal growth.”

How true.

But also how… mysterious, right?

Fans had expressed some concern over Andrews because he had been married four previous times and had also experienced some financial hardships.

Did these personal issues play a role in Meri’s decision to end the romance?

Yes, says one somewhat reputable source.

“Amos’ reputation getting out was a huge issue,” an insider now tells The Sun, making it seem as if Meri was concerned about blowback to the romance.

But Brown allegedly had actual problems with Amos, too.

“Meri realized he wasn’t so ambitious as her and wasn’t a go-getter,” this individual added.

“He didn’t have a stable job and that was one major red flag.”

Considering the debt-laden state in which Meri’s ex-spouse, Kody, often found himself in… it would make sense that this would be an especially sensitive topic for Meri.

“Meri is looking for financial support and someone who can support her goals and help her become successful,” the Sun concluded.

“She won’t settle for anything less. She is not settling and wants to do better than the other sister wives.”

That may be a challenge because Christine Brown is very happily married to David Woolley these days, but we suppose a bit of healthy competition can be, well, healthy.

Meri wrapped up her breakup announcement on Insatgram as follows:

I honor and care about the past four months, who I spent it with, and what I learned about myself through it. I know what’s important to me in a relationship, and I’m confident in myself while I’m single as well.

For now, I’ll continue to look into my future with the hope of new opportunities and the confidence of continued personal growth.

This is a time in my life to prioritize me, my well-being, and my personal evolution, and I look forward to more adventures and experiences on this journey we call life!

We continue to wish Meri the best of luck in her personal and romantic journey.

At the very least, she ought to take comfort in knowing that anyone she chooses can’t be worse than Kody Brown, from whom Meri finally split in January 2023.

Seriously.

That guy is the worst.
