SistersJanelle Brown and Meri Brown have a shared story, so their reunion in the April 27 episode was a special moment for two of Kody Brown’s former wives. The rest of season 19 was filled with tension, and seeing Janelle and Meri working together at Coyote Pass was a welcome change amidst the ongoing aftermath of the family’s multiple divorces. At that time, the future was uncertain for them as Coyote Pass had finally been sold and Janelle and Meri were compensated.
Janelle and Meri Met Up on Coyote Pass
Janelle Wanted Meri to Get a Lawyer
Meri and Janelle were never the closest sister wives. Meri had a stronger bond with Robyn Brown, while Janelle and Christine Brown shared a deep connection that endures to this day. Despite this, Meri and Janelle were the wives who had been married to Kody the longest: Kody legally married Meri in 1990 and spiritually married Janelle in 1993. They were later joined by Christine in 1994 and Robyn in 2014. It was heartwarming to see that despite their past struggles, Janelle still looked out for Meri’s best interests and ensured she received her fair share.
Throughout Sisters season 19, Janelle urged Meri to consider hiring a lawyer to handle the Coyote Pass situation. Meri was initially hesitant, believing that Kody would not betray her when it came to dividing the property. However, Janelle’s suspicions about Kody’s actions behind the scenes at Coyote Pass led her to insist that Meri also seek legal representation. Janelle’s lack of trust in Kody was evident in her firm stance on the matter.
«Nothing is really happening. Kody definitely holds the advantage. Nothing can move forward unless Kody decides to take action, as his name is on all the properties… I’m waiting for him to make a move.»
Kody’s indecision was revealed in the April 27 episode, where he admitted that he had not made any decisions because Robyn was uncomfortable with the idea of selling Coyote Pass. The family had purchased the property in 2018 with grand plans for their polygamous utopia, but the pandemic halted those dreams. The pandemic also exacerbated existing issues within the Brown family, ultimately leading to Christine, Janelle, and Meri distancing themselves from Kody.

Throughout the family’s history, there have been instances where Meri was not treated fairly. With only one child with Kody compared to his multiple children with the other wives, Meri found herself marginalized. After legally divorcing Kody to allow him to marry Robyn and adopt her children from a previous marriage, Meri once again felt pushed aside.
