Sister Wives star Meri Brown is drawing her own boundaries when it comes to Christine Brown’s new book. While Christine poured her truth into “Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom,” Meri recently admitted that she has no plans to read it. Even though the two women lived under the same roof for decades as part of Kody Brown’s plural marriage, Meri explained that Christine’s stories don’t align with hers.
On the September 14 episode of the I Do, Part 2 podcast, hosted by Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, Meri explained that she wants to protect her peace. She also acknowledged that Christine’s perspective in her book is entirely valid, but emphasized that her own version of events appears differently. For Meri, reading Christine’s memoir could trigger frustration, especially if her memories don’t match what is on the page.
Meri Talks About Her Current Equation With Her Ex-Sister Wives!
Meri Brown opened up about her current relationship with her former sister wives, and it’s not what fans might expect. Speaking on the I Do, Part 2 podcast, Meri admitted she no longer talks to Christine Brown. Their values don’t align, and staying connected isn’t emotionally safe for her. While she said she holds no hate, she chooses to keep her distance.
She further added they’d be cordial if they crossed paths. As for Janelle and Robyn, Meri revealed she isn’t close with them either, explaining that there’s no lasting bond at the moment. Still, she remains open to healing and hard conversations, but emphasized her boundaries. For Meri, peace now means prioritizing herself over forced family ties.
Sister Wives: Meri Reveals Why She Disagrees With Christine’s Perspective In The Book!
Meri made it clear that she respects Christine’s right to tell her story. Talking about her book, she futher added. “I have not read it, and I probably won’t.” Meri explained that although their lives overlapped in the same household, she doesn’t feel like she “lived it with her.” Their day-to-day experiences in polygamy were not identical. What Christine shares in her book, Meri believes, is Christine’s truth, but it is not necessarily her own.
She further elaborated that it’s all about perspective. Meri told listeners, “Even though they were in the same life, and many of the things that she’s, I’m sure talking about, our perspectives are completely different.” So, what Christine wrote in her book is her perspective. And it’s 100 percent valid to her, but not for her.
The reality star admitted she wants to avoid potential conflict that could come from comparing memories. She doesn’t want to read it and potentially get upset at some of the things. For Meri, reading passages that contradict her recollection would not be fair to either of them. She explained, emphasizing that truth can look different depending on who’s telling it.
Ultimately, Meri underscored that validating Christine’s story doesn’t mean she has to consume it. She wants to reinforce her own emotional well-being while also respecting Christine’s choice to share her journey. Meri was Kody Brown’s first wife, marrying him in 1990. Janelle joined the family in 1993, Christine in 1994, and Robyn in 2010. Though Christine and Meri shared nearly 20 years as sister wives, their bond was often strained.
