Meri Brown is becoming less relatable to Sister Wives fans in season 16. She is known as one of the most outspoken wives, and her bold attitude has divided fans since the show began in 2010. Though many fans feel bad that she is ignored by her husband, Kody Brown, fans also think she is using her situation for sympathy, and they have had enough. Here are all of the reasons why Sister Wives fans cannot relate to Meri anymore.
During Sister Wives season 16, first wife Meri did not know where she stood in the large Brown family. Meri shared on the Tell-All that she is estranged from Kody, as many fans expected, and has been for years. They have not been romantically involved in over a decade, leading many Sister Wives fans to question what she gets out of the relationship. While Christine already made the shocking decision to end things with Kody, there are signs that Meri might be next. Until then Meri finally leaves Kody, she is currently one of the least relatable cast members on the show.
Even though Kody's fourth wife, Robyn Brown, is hardly the Sister Wives fan favorite, viewers understand why she sticks around with Kody. Robyn is largely known as the favorite wife, meaning that she gets the most attention, has a physical relationship with Kody, and makes most of the decisions with him. Meri, on the other hand, has none of those perks and has even been ostracized by her husband. Fans feel for Meri's difficult situation on Sister Wives, as she has been married to Kody for over 20 years, but at a certain point, many are starting thinking she stayed with him so she could play the victim.
Meri has been compared to Robyn, as they have both been accused of faking their emotions for sympathy on Sister Wives. Meri looks happier than ever on her Instagram, despite her broken relationship with Kody, leading many fans to believe she has actually moved on from her husband and is sticking around to play the victim on TV. Fans seem to have lost sympathy for Meri, as they feel she should either leave her troubling relationship with Kody or she needs should stop complaining about it on TV.
Meri's attitude exhibited on Sister Wives is not the only reason for her decreased relatability. She is a fashion retailer with her own brand called LuLaRoe. Some fans have called her shop a ripoff, saying that the quality is not good enough to warrant the price and that she is just trying to make easy money. Other Sister Wives fans have stuck by Meri's side and are strong proponents of her brand. Depending on how Meri handles the new Brown family dynamic after Christine left, she may be able to win fans over again.
