Sister Wives Star Kody Brown Confesses To Lying And Manipulating

For 19 seasons, Sister Wives fans have witnessed Kody Brown’s controversial behavior, particularly toward his ex-wives. Many viewers feel that Meri Brown bore the brunt of his mistreatment, often becoming the focal point of his harsh words and actions.

Although some fans questioned whether Kody recognized the pain he caused, a recent episode shed light on his awareness. As Kody assisted Meri in relocating to Utah, he made an open admission that shocked both viewers and critics alike.

Sister Wives – Did Kody Brown Always Know He Was Unkind To Meri Brown?

During the move, Kody had an emotional moment that left fans divided. Some dismissed his tears as performative, while others wished Meri had seized the opportunity to confront him.

One Reddit user labeled the moment “Meri’s Missed Opportunity,” stating, “It was infuriating when Kody apologized for leading her on for seven years, and then basically retracted it and said he was glad that he did because it allowed him to meet the moment of their final separation with sadness rather than anger. ‘It makes sense, right?’ he says, and Meri says a semi-placating ‘sort of’ even though it doesn’t.”

The user added, “She SHOULD have said, ‘No, it really doesn’t. Those years might have helped you, but from my perspective–to think of all the years I sacrificed for you to love me…WASTED!’” referencing Kody’s infamous “knife in the kidneys” comment.

Sister Wives – Fans Wish Meri Brown Had Spoken Up

Many fans expressed frustration that Kody not only admitted to mistreating Meri but also seemed to justify his actions. Viewers debated the authenticity of the scene, with several pointing out how scripted it felt.

Reddit discussions captured the collective outrage:

“Honestly, all of the wives should have put him in his place sooner than they did.”

“He only sees things from how it affects him…dragging her along with no hope of reconciliation was okay for him because it gave him time to mourn. But what about her?”

“His sobbing seemed legit, though. I agree they probably set up that scene for filming, but his feelings appeared real—or maybe I’m gullible. Haha!”

“It was obvious his tears were prompted by the guy showing Meri compassion and a side hug. He couldn’t stand not being the center of attention!”

While opinions differ on Kody’s sincerity, the incident reignited conversations about his treatment of Meri and the other wives. Many fans voiced their hopes that Meri will eventually reclaim her narrative and move forward stronger.
