It seems like Meri Brown’s latest social media antics have landed her in hot water once again. Fans of Sister Wives have been buzzing about a recent post from Meri, where she shared pictures of herself with a man, hashtagging it with phrases like #MysteryMan, #NewBeginnings, and #MovingDay. But the drama quickly unfolded when the man’s actual girlfriend stepped in to set the record straight.
Meri’s post instantly grabbed attention, leading many to speculate that she had a new romantic interest. Some fans even debated in the comments, with some claiming the man was gay and others believing he was her new boyfriend. However, the truth was far from Meri’s insinuations. The real girlfriend of the so-called “mystery man” responded to the online frenzy, clarifying that he was very much taken. She wrote, “Sorry y’all, the #MysteryMan is mine and the most amazing boyfriend ever,” even adding a fire emoji to emphasize her affection for him.
Meri, rather than backing down, responded in a rather dismissive manner. “I hear nothing but good about you. You’re a saint to put up with our shenanigans,” she replied. This sparked even more outrage, as it became evident that Meri had never even met the man’s girlfriend before making her suggestive post.
The controversy didn’t stop there. Friends of the couple also weighed in, expressing their support for the girlfriend while throwing shade at Meri for stirring up unnecessary drama. One friend commented, “Thanks for putting up with the shenanigans. We love you two together and are glad you’re staking your claim.” It was clear that those close to the couple weren’t amused by Meri’s attention-seeking behavior.
Meri’s tactics have left many questioning her motives. Critics argue that she deliberately posts misleading content to stay in the headlines, feeding off the speculation and drama. This isn’t the first time Meri has been accused of creating buzz just to stay relevant, and fans are growing increasingly tired of it. “Meri, you’re really trying it,” one fan noted. “How dare you make it look like someone else’s boyfriend is your man just to get attention? It’s desperate.” 
Adding to the confusion, some followers initially mistook the man for one of Meri’s gay friends, but those rumors were quickly debunked. The actual “mystery man” is a military man with a child, and he has been in a committed relationship. Unlike what some believed, he is not Meri’s interior designer friend Blair—who is openly gay and married. The mix-up only added fuel to the fire, making Meri’s actions look even more calculated.
This latest incident has left many wondering why Meri continues to involve herself in such questionable publicity stunts. Critics believe she’s desperate to maintain relevance in the Sister Wives world, especially as she distances herself from Kody Brown and the polygamous lifestyle. But is this really the way to do it? Fans are getting fed up, with many saying they are “bored” with Meri and her constant need for attention.
As fans await the next season of Sister Wives, the lingering question remains—what will Meri do next? Will she address the controversy, or will she continue stirring the pot for social media clout? Either way, viewers are keeping a close eye on her next move. For now, Meri’s so-called “mystery man” remains off-limits, and his girlfriend has made sure the world knows it.
