TLC star Meri Brown jets off to NYC as Kody Brown feuds with their child Leon Brown
Kody’s relationship with his and Meri’s transgender child Leon Brown is not amicable. The ‘Sister Wives’ patriarch does not support Leon’s sexuality and has no relationship with them, as reported by The US Sun.
Therefore, in order to support Leon, Meri flew to New York City. She took to her Instagram to speak on the matter and allegedly slam Kody’s opinions.
She started the video saying, “Hey there! Coming at you live from Central Park.” The star captioned her post with “Respectfully I disagree,” indirectly hinting towards Kody’s opinions and views.
She added, “I am allowed to have the back of someone even though I don’t agree with everything another person says.”
Supporting Leon, Meri wrote, “It doesn’t make sense to me that I shouldn’t be allowed to support someone and their right to have an opinion when I don’t agree 100% with what that opinion is. To me this psychologist is saying that we’re only allowed to have the back of someone else ONLY IF we 100% agree with them.”
Claiming that she has not met anyone who agrees with her opinions, Meri wrote, “Well I don’t know about you, but I’ve never in my life met someone who I 100% agree with, and that’s not going to stop me from supporting others and their rights and opinions.”
Why did ‘Sister Wives’ couple Meri Brown and Kody Brown split?
Meri was the first one to marry Kody Brown. Both legally married in 1990, however, the couple officially filed for a divorce in 2014 after Kody decided to marry Robyn in order to adopt her children.
Before the split, Meri claimed that her and Kody’s marriage was “dead” for her. The lack of communication between the couple led them to fall apart from each other.
Kody said in one of the episodes, “Meri and I had a fast courtship with a lot of expectations and a lot of not communicating.” He added, “I didn’t know who I was marrying. As things unfolded, I started to become troubled and bitter by the situation I was in.”
On January 10, 2023, Meri took to social media to officially announce her split, “In light of a recent unapproved press release, we feel compelled to share our own truth, in our own way, and in our own timing.”
She stated the reason for the split, “After more than a decade of working on our relationship in our own unique ways, we have made the decision to permanently terminate our marriage relationship.”
