In the latest episode Sister’s Wives, Mary Brown shed light on the breakdown of her family’s finances – and claimed it wasn’t always fair.
“His big thing then was that I get two acres. Two acres,” Meri, 53, told her friend Just during the Sunday, January 19, episode of the TLC series, accusing this ex-husband Cody Brown he never intended to give her an equal share of their family’s property in Coyote Pass. “He says, ‘Well, you don’t need that much because you don’t have that many kids.’
Jen pointed out that Meri “paid the same” for the property, which is in Flagstaff, Arizona, even though they only share one child, Leonwith Kody, 55.
“I don’t know if they don’t remember like, when our resources were all together and those family funds that I helped with went to the kids’ college, went to the property,” Meri explained. “It went into everything. We had a family fund.”
Janelle Brown supported sister wife Meri Brown after realizing that their shared ex-husband, Kody Brown, allegedly never listened to them about their passions or travel dreams. During the Sunday, Dec. 1, episode of Sister Wives, Meri, 53, met with Kody, 55, and Robyn Brown to discuss finally paying off Coyote Pass, their vacant (…)
Just quickly Meri reminded that not only did she put money in the family bank when she married Kody, but that the money “paid for most of the kids’ college, but not Leon’s.”
Jen claimed that the family fund “went into most of the kids’ cars, but not Leon’s,” which Meri confirmed. “I paid for Leon’s college,” Meri said, adding that she also paid for her child’s “car payments” — and didn’t use the family slush.
Meri admitted: “I really don’t know how much of the family fund actually paid for other children’s school or cars, but I do know that my child’s school was not taken care of from the family fund.”
Even though she was married to Kody the longest, Meri claimed she never got an equal share of the money her sister wives put together for their large family.
“Kody actually said this: ‘Because I only have one child, I’m not entitled to an equal share of the property,'” Meri claimed, again referring to the sale of their joint land.
Meri and Kody were legally married from 1990 to 2014. They got divorced so that Kody can marry a fourth wife Robyn Brown and legally adopt her three children from a previous relationship. Meri and Kody remained in spiritual unity until she confirmed their breakup in January 2023.
Along with Leon, Kody welcomed six children with the two Janelle Brown and Christine Brown before their respective separations. (Janelle announced her split in December 2022, while Christine left the extended family in 2021.)
Kody is still married to Robyn, 46, with whom he shares three adopted children and two biological children.
“We were supposed to take care of 18 children. You know, that’s just water under the bridge,” Kody told the cameras during Sunday’s episode when discussing the division of the estate. “I don’t even want to discuss it. Meri can complain about anything that happened to her.”
After more than 30 years of marriage, Kody and Meri Brown worked through more than one major problem before confirming their split in 2023. The couple tied the knot in April 1990 before Kody introduced three more wives, Janelle, Christine and Robyn. Brown, to their family. Their unique home life drew (…)
While Kody tried to ignore Meria’s claims, she remained adamant that she deserved to get some money from their Coyote Pass property—as did Janelle. (Christine he gave her part of the land Robyn and Kody after her divorce and withheld the money from the sale of her house in Arizona.)
“I put a lot into this marriage. emotionally, financially (and) personally. I didn’t get anything from it, like child support or anything. And I’m not looking for that,” concluded Meri. “So I think it’s fair (I understand) real estate investment. I think it’s only fair that I walked away with that at least.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Kody met with a realtor to list Coyote Pass, but didn’t keep Janelle or Meri in the loop. The women, meanwhile, have both retained attorneys to try and protect their land rights.
Sister’s Wives airs Sundays at 10pm ET on TLC.
