Sister WivesstarMeri Brownhas beensharing more about her feelings surrounding her relationship with her ex-husband Kody Brown, especially now that their pleasantries surrounding Coyote Pass have come to a pause. ThroughoutSister Wivesseason 19, Meri’s behavior has been odd for viewers to understand. After spending the majority ofSister Wivesseason 18 working through her feelings enough to decide to spiritually divorce from Kody after over 30 years of marriage, she’s spent a lot of the current season seemingly completely loyal to the patriarch of the Brown family. Meri’s apparent switch up has been somewhat concerning.

Although Meri, who wasmarried to Brown family patriarch Kodyalongside her sister wives Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Robyn Brown, has been clear that she’s not interested in reigniting her romantic relationship with Kody, it’s been odd to see her feel comfortable with him considering how poorly he treated her in their marriage. Meri’s seemed to gain more of an understanding of just how one-sided her marriage to Kody became by the end of their time together. ThroughoutSister Wivesseason 19,Meri’s chosen her battles regarding her loyalty, but there may finally be an explanation as to why.

The Coyote Pass Drama Has Her Rethinking Everything

AlthoughSister Wiveshas touched on Coyote Pass more frequently over the last few episodes of the series, Meri and Janelle are diving deep into the belly of the beast concerning their parcels of land on the compound in the upcoming half of the season. While Janelle seems to be fairly calm despite having shared she’s going through some financial issues surrounding the land in previous seasons, Meri’s been having a harder time with the sale. Dealing with Kody appears to be one of the toughest things for Meri,especially when she understands how difficult he can be.

As Meri has moved through the difficult task of ensuring that she’s going to be ableto sell her parcel of the Coyote Passland and recoup some of the money she spent on it, she’s been open about the fact that it’s Kody she’s the most afraid of. Sharing in a preview clip that her ex-husband’s"wrath"is terrifying to her, Meri made it clear that Kody’s someone she feels could take her down. While Kody’s biggest flaws are often shown onSister Wives,Meri’s still afraid of the information Kody could have on her.

Although Meri has her own fears of Kody coming for her or releasing personal information about her into the press, Janelle made it clear that she wasn’t going to let Meri deal with their ex-husband on her own. WhileJanelle and Meri haven’t always had a great relationshipand appear to be more strained now that there’s no plural marriage connecting them, the pair have always been clear that they’re on the same side when it comes to Kody’s difficult personality.

She Was Terrified Kody Would Come For Her

AlthoughMeri’s behavior earlier in the season was confusingtoSister Wivesfans who saw her lash out against Kody in the past, it’s clear now that Meri was likely trying to preserve a solid foundation with Kody in case anything went sideways for the former couple. Meri choosing to remain loyal to Kody may have been tough forSister Wivesviewers to see, butknowing she was doing it as an act of self-preservation makes sense. Hopefully, Meri’s future isn’t something that has her needlessly pledging loyalty to a man she’s fearful of, especially afterSister Wives.
