Meri Brown has previously spoken up about how ex-husband Kody Brown put his fourth and only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, on a pedestal. Doing so definitely affected his relationship with the other Sister Wives, who all chose to leave him. And while Kody thinks he’s been “villainized,” Meri perceives his expectations as pretty “unfair.”
Kody feels like he was judged for falling in love with Robyn.
Kody’s exes have opened up about how he treated them differently after Robyn entered the picture, but Kody believes he’s been made out to be a villain just for being in love. On the Sunday, May 25, episode of Sister Wives, Kody said he’s “so sick and tired of being guilted for loving Robyn.”
“It’s like you find higher love and then everybody just slaps you down for it,” he said. “There’s a divine aspect about my relationship with Robyn and we have been b—- slapped for it. I’m sick of it.”
Kody claimed that he wanted the same kind of love with his other wives. He said he “wanted to raise every wife up” and “elevate” their relationships so they felt more like his relationship with Robyn.
Meri found this insulting.
To Meri, this meant that Kody didn’t truly respect his wives as individuals. They can’t all be exactly like Robyn — and Meri doesn’t want to be. “We’re all supposed to be Robyn?” Meri said. “I’m sorry. I am Meri. I’m not going to be Robyn.”
“I don’t want to be Robyn,” she continued. “I’m going to be my own individual person. I don’t want to be her.”
Janelle called it ‘revisionist history.’
Kody’s other ex-wives, Janelle and Christine, were not fans of his comments either. Meri seemed to have a problem with Kody implying that his other wives should be more like Robyn. Janelle and Christine, on the other hand, took issue with the inaccuracies in Kody’s claims.
Describing Kody’s interpretation of events as “revisionist history,” Janelle said Kody never voiced these desires to her before she left him. “Would’ve been nice if he communicated that back then,” Janelle quipped. “He never talked about that with me.”
Christine also said that Kody made no effort to “elevate” his relationships with his other wives. She said his version of what happened was “100% a lie.”
“He was not available nor present nor accommodating to make that happen,” she said.
Previously, Meri said Kody treated Robyn like a ‘new shiny toy.’
At one point, Meri and Robyn were close. However, the way Kody treated Robyn eventually led to “a divide.” Christine also said Kody essentially encouraged his wives to compare themselves to each other. She claimed that Kody “put pressure on me to look good, or to make sure my hair was done, or to make sure my makeup was on.”
Comparing herself to Robyn made her feel like she was left with “scraps.”
“I felt like Robyn had a better couch,” Christine recalled. “I felt like she had better dishes and better decorations and, like, so many things.”
She now understands why she was constantly comparing herself to Robyn. “No wonder I was constantly wondering and constantly insecure because, as much as I was comparing, [Kody] was also comparing all the time,” she claimed.
