Kody Has Been Extra Harsh on Meri Throughout Their Relationship
The recently releasedSister Wives season 19 trailershows Kody taking his insults and harsh words about his marriage to Meri to another level, stating, “What sucks is not the divorce but marrying the wrong person,” right to Meri’s face. Kody would continue hurting Meri with his words, noting that their marriage was confusing from the very beginning. Unsurprisingly, the trailer ended with Kody telling Meri to blame herself if he didn’t love her, a cruel statement to a woman who was with him for 32 years.
For most of the trailer,Meri looks visibly hurt by Kody’s wordswhile trying her best to defend their almost four-decade marriage. Despite whatever Kody might’ve said, fans who have followed their story since the show premiered know that Kody is the Trojan horse that disrupted his once-uniformed family unit.Kody’s distasteful mean streak towards Meri has increased significantly over the past seasons, but that has only further shown his guilt in destroying his family.
Meri Doesn’t Want To Take Sides In The Brown Family
Meri Is Only on Her Own Team
As Kody calls it, the Brown family ‘civil war’ has been going on for a while, becoming significantly consequential whenChristine became the first wife to leave Kodyin 2021. Although Janelle and Meri have also since followed suit,Sister Wivesseason 19 will focus heavily on the departure of Kody’s wives, which the trailer teased. Although the wives formed somewhat of a coalition and kept each other in the loop about the state of their marriage to Kodyin one of the scenes, Meri publicly stated that she wouldn’t be taking any sides.
Kody takes his insults and harsh words about his marriage to Meri to another level, stating, “What sucks is not the divorce but marrying the wrong person,” right to Meri’s face.
In the scene, Meri noted, “I’m not gonna be in the ex-wives club, I’m not gonna be in the Kody and Robyn club.” Meri’s statement perfectly reflected her position within the Brown family, as she was not wholly welcomed into the Janelle and Christine club nor Robyn and Kody’s club. As the first wife, Meri played her role as best as she could but must now find a new pathway forward.

Kodys’ Attacks on Meri Has Been Relentless
Long before Christine became the first wife to leave Kody, Meri was expected to have been the first to leave the Brown family due to how poorly Kody treated her. Instead, Meri stayed and watched as Christine and Janelle left, even after Kody, in no uncertain terms, told Meri he no longer considered them a couple. However, in 2023,Meri announced she was also leaving the family.
Meri’s decision to leave the Brown family felt like what Kody had long wanted; however, instead of allowing Meri to move on peacefully, Kody attacked her and everything their relationship stood for. From declaring that he never loved Meri to stating that he married the wrong person, Kody has attacked Meri at every opportunity. In theSister Wivesseason 19 trailer,Meri’s “I need a man” statement stood out, and looking at how Christine’s life has changed since meeting David Wooley, Meri is also due some new love in her life.
