The premiere of Season 19 of Sister Wives is rumored to be just weeks away. While we don’t yet know what topics will be covered in the upcoming season, we do know where the Brown family stands now. Meri Brown recently appeared on a podcast and divulged where she stands with Kody Brown and Robyn Brown now that she’s left her plural marriage. She even offered her thoughts on Robyn’s true feelings and intentions.

Meri Brown doesn’t know how Robyn Brown feels, but her actions speak volumes

During an appearance on The Sarah Fraser Show, Meri opened up about the end of her marriage and how she has felt watching the show back. Meri revealed that she did not typically watch the show and relied on other people in her life to fill her in on what was shown.

While she doesn’t watch the show, Meri has some specific thoughts about Robyn Brown’s true feelings, specifically about the end of Meri’s marriage to Kody. Meri was non-committal when asked if she thinks Robyn Brown truly wanted her to stay in her loveless plural marriage. Still, she offered some significant insight. While she conceded that she believed Robyn was genuinely sad that their plural family split up, she argued that her attitude and Kody’s attitude never exactly matched what they were saying.

Meri also called Robyn out on the dichotomy before she left Kody. In the most recent season of Sister Wives, Meri admitted that Robyn did not attempt to contact her often. She even confronted her about her lack of communication and admitted it was frustrating and confusing. Robyn had no explanation for why she failed to try to connect with Meri in any real way.

‘Sister Wives’ fans believe Robyn was interested in very unequal scenario

Meri was clearly trying to remain relatively neutral on the topic of Robyn Brown and her true intentions. Still, it’s clear she thinks Robyn’s vision of a plural family would not work for any of Kody’s other wives. Sister Wives fans have long contended that Robyn wanted a plural marriage, but only on paper. Her desires, which Kody was happy to entertain, are largely blamed for the breakdown of the family.

Meri Brown Offers Clue That Coyote Pass Storyline May Dominate Season 19 of ‘Sister Wives’

For several seasons, Robyn came across as exceptionally selfish. She argued that she and her “tender-aged” children required more of Kody’s time. Robyn even blamed Kody’s former wives for the breakdown of their marriages. She never tried to connect with Kody’s older children, nor did she seem interested in sharing the emotional load with the other three wives. In essence, Robyn wanted sister wives without actually having to interact or work with them. She also seemed entirely uninterested in sharing her husband, which is the very basis of polygamy.

We may get more of Meri’s true feelings when season 19 premieres. TLC has yet to announce an official release date. Still, Mykelti Padron said the show is likely to premiere in August or September.
