A Family Divided Over Land and Lies
The once-unified façade of the Brown family continues to crumble, with the latest episode of TLC’s Sister Wives revealing a shocking new layer of conflict. During a dispute over the sale of the family’s Coyote Pass property, Meri Brown alleged that her ex-husband Kody Brown and his wife Robyn Brown tried to legally silence her with a confidentiality agreement.
The NDA Controversy Unfolds
The drama began when the family received a written offer for their 14-acre property in Flagstaff, Arizona. However, the sale was complicated by the need to reassign the property deeds to ensure Kody, Robyn, and his ex-wives Meri, Janelle, and Christine were all equal owners. While Kody claimed the process was slowed by lawyers, Meri offered a stunning reason for the delay.
‘He’s putting the whole f–king thing on me that I slowed it down, that I’m the problem,’ an angry Meri stated in the episode. ‘But it had to do with the fact that they were trying to get me to sign a confidentiality agreement that I was not willing to agree to. Why do you want me to sign a confidentiality agreement? Why are you trying to silence me?’
Kody’s ‘Backdoor Deal’
While Kody remained silent on the NDA allegation, he did confess to considering a troubling plan. He revealed that as the buyer grew impatient, he and Janelle discussed a ‘backdoor deal’ to force the sale without Meri’s cooperation. ‘Janelle’s, like, pushing me to either comply completely with what Meri’s wishes were or force the sale,’ Kody explained.
Janelle confirmed the conversation, recounting, ‘Kody said, ‘Well, I could sell it without Meri’s consent.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, you could.’ Which, he could.’
Meri expressed her devastation over the betrayal, sharing, ‘It f–king breaks my heart that it has come to this. I didn’t think that these people would try to do this to me.’
Robyn’s Surprising Intervention
In a surprising twist, it was Kody’s sole remaining wife, Robyn, who put a stop to the plan. According to Kody, when Robyn learned of his scheme, she was appalled and reminded him of the man he once promised to be—someone who would care for his ex-wives.
Robyn confirmed her stance, stating she told Kody, ‘No, I’m not going anywhere. I’m not doing nothing. I’m not selling this land until everything is perfectly fair and we do this the right way. Sorry. I’ll be the big fat rock in the way.’
Despite this show of support, the damage to Meri and Robyn’s relationship appears irreparable. ‘There’s not trust with me and Robyn. There’s not,’ Meri admitted, explaining that any potential friendship would have to start from scratch. The incident marks another painful chapter in the public dissolution of the Brown family.
