In a revealing and emotional TikTok Live, Sister Wives star Meri Brown opened up about her personal journey, current relationships, and the lingering aftermath of the show’s dramaāwhile subtly throwing shade at Christine Brown Woolleyās upcoming book.
Meri went live with creator Grace for an unfiltered chat, and fans were quick to dissect every word. While the discussion touched on everyday topics like grandkids, renovations, and even favorite wines, Meri didnāt hold back when it came to clarifying long-standing rumorsāespecially surrounding her life post-Cody and her relationship with Jen.
One key takeaway? Meri made it crystal clear that her family home in Parowan, Utah, was never an Airbnbāand never will be. She firmly shut down speculation that sheās trying to sell the place or convert it into a full-time B&B. Instead, she explained that the house will become a small event venue for weddings, retreats, and family gatheringsāsomething that aligns with her long-term dreams, not just what made sense during her motherās time.
While she shared updates about her ongoing renovations and life on the road, the heart of the interview was Meriās powerful reflection on her growth and healing since leaving her marriage to Cody Brown. She opened up about being a full-time grandmotherāespecially to a grandchild with spina bifidaāand how itās reshaped her world.
But things got deeperāand spicierāwhen Christine Brown Woolleyās name came up. While Meri didnāt name Christine directly, she made pointed remarks about people “airing everything out” and “telling their version of the story” for public consumption. The timing, coinciding with Christineās promotional tour for her new book, had fans reading between the lines. Meri emphasized that just because you go through a divorce doesn’t mean you need to tell the world everything or trash your ex. It was clear this was Meri’s way of calling out Christineās public oversharing without explicitly dragging her.
Meri took the high roadābut with undeniable edge. She explained that her decision not to bash Cody or Robin isn’t about protecting themāit’s about respecting herself and whatās appropriate. She believes that dignity doesnāt mean spilling every ounce of āteaā just because youāre no longer married. This approach, she said, is similar to not badmouthing an ex in front of your kidsāitās about maturity, not suppression.
She also addressed her once heavily criticized relationship with her best friend Jen, explaining that their bond blossomed naturally through shared business ventures and mutual trustāespecially during Meriās catfishing scandal. Jen was her rock during that tough period, when Meri felt isolated even within her own family. Their connection, built on loyalty and quiet support, contrasts sharply with the loud narratives others have put out recently, again a subtle nod to Christineās tell-all style.
In a rare moment, Meri confirmed that she doesn’t regret her life on Sister Wivesānot the show, not marrying Cody, and not even the heartbreak. āEvery single experience shaped who I am today,ā she said, reaffirming her belief that growth comes from struggle. Even the very public and humiliating catfishing episode? She owns it. As she recalled, a lawyer once told her, āThereās egg on your faceābut egg washes off.ā And Meri has definitely rinsed it clean.
When it came to family dynamics, Meri revealed that her relationship with Leon is strong, though private, and said it remains that way by choice. Her connection with the rest of the Brown children variesāsome are still close, others have faded into the background. She likened it to a large extended family where you only see certain relatives at weddings or funerals. Not out of hate, just life taking its course.
As for Robinās kids? That was a more painful topic. Meri admitted that she rarely sees them now, which especially hurts in the case of Solomon, whom she shared a special bond with. Living in different states hasnāt helped, and though she didnāt go into detail, her emotional tone made it clear this estrangement weighs heavily on her.
Meri also opened up about how she’s handling dating after Cody. While sheās not in an exclusive relationship, sheās careful not to let her past dictate her future. She shared that she avoids trash-talking Cody to potential partners, and if someone presses for too much gossip, she simply shuts the conversation down. āIāll use my experiences to learn and move forward,ā she said, ābut Iām not going to live in the past.ā
Toward the end of the interview, Meri addressed the sudden increase in her public appearances. While some skeptics claim sheās only talking now because she wants to promote something, Meri said the truth is simpler: Sheās finally healthy enough and confident enough to speak. Earlier in her journey, she was more guarded, more cautious. But now, she knows her boundariesāand she’s not afraid to enforce them.
So, whatās the real takeaway from Meri Brownās TikTok Live?
Sheās done being the silent one. Sheās not spilling every secret or dragging names through the mud like some former co-wives may be doing (ahem), but sheās done letting others define her story. With strength, sarcasm, and sincerity, Meri reminded fans that sheās still very much in control of her own narrativeāand no book release is going to rewrite her truth.
