Meri Brown has found herself at the center of renewed controversy after making a series of pointed remarks about fellow Sister Wives cast member Janelle Brown, sparking widespread speculation about deepening divisions within the once-united family.
In recent interviews and social media comments, Meri appeared to suggest that Janelle played a more significant role in past family conflicts than previously acknowledged.
While Meri stopped short of making direct personal attacks, her statements were interpreted by many fans as placing responsibility on Janelle for several unresolved financial and emotional issues.
According to sources close to the situation, Meri expressed frustration over what she described as “years of silence and avoidance” when it came to major family decisions, particularly those involving money and property.
She implied that certain choices made by Janelle had long-term consequences for the entire family structure.
“I’ve taken the blame for a lot over the years,” Meri reportedly said. “But not everything that went wrong was on me.”
Janelle Brown has not formally responded to Meri’s latest comments. However, insiders claim that Janelle is “disappointed but not surprised” by the remarks, viewing them as a reflection of lingering resentment rather than an accurate portrayal of events.
The public fallout comes amid a broader unraveling of the Brown family. Over the past two years, Christine, Janelle, and Meri have all separated from Kody Brown, effectively bringing an end to the plural marriage that once defined the long-running TLC series.
Media analysts suggest that Meri’s comments reflect unresolved emotional conflicts rather than calculated attacks.
“This appears to be more about personal closure and reclaiming her narrative,” said reality TV expert Dana Wilkins. “When long-term relationships dissolve, people often revisit the past in ways that feel accusatory, even if the intent is self-defense.”
Fans remain divided, with some supporting Meri’s right to speak openly about her experiences, while others criticize her for reigniting old tensions and publicly targeting Janelle.
As the Sister Wives era continues to evolve beyond its original family dynamic, it is becoming increasingly clear that unresolved grievances, especially around trust and accountability, remain central to the story.
Whether Meri and Janelle will ever reconcile appears uncertain, but their latest clash underscores how deeply fractured the Brown family remains—even after the marriages have ended.
