In the last episode of Sister Wives, Meri Brun shed light on the distribution of her family’s funds — and she claimed it wasn’t always fair.
“His main goal at the time was for me to get two acres. Two acres,” Meri, 53, told her friend. Jen during the Sunday, January 19 episode of the TLC series, alleging that her ex-husband Kody Brown never intended to give him an equal share of the Coyote Pass homestead. “He said to me, ‘Well, you don’t need that much because you don’t have that many kids.'”
Jen pointed out that Meri “paid equally” for the land located in Flagstaff, Arizona, despite sharing only one child. Leonwith Kody, 55 years old.
“I don’t know if they don’t remember when our funds were all together and the family funds that I helped with went to the kids’ college, to the property,” Meri explained. “It went to everything. We had a family fund.
Janelle Brown supported her sister Meri Brown after realizing their mutual ex-husband, Kody Brown, would never listen to them about their passions or travel dreams. During the Sunday, December 1 episode of Sister Wives, Meri, 53, sat down with Kody, 55, and Robyn Brown to discuss the final refund of the Coyote Pass, their (…)
Jen quickly reminded Meri that not only had she put money into the family bank when she was married to Kody, but that money “had been used to finance the majority of the kids’ college educations, but not Leon’s.” “.
Jen alleged that the family fund “went to the majority of the kids’ cars, but not Leon’s,” which Meri confirmed. “I paid for Leon’s college education,” Meri said, adding that she also paid her child’s “car payments” — and didn’t use the family slushie.
Meri confessed, “I really don’t know how much of the family fund actually paid for the other kids’ school or cars, but I do know that my child’s school was not covered by the fund family. »
Despite being married to Kody the longest, Meri claimed she never received an equal share of the money her sister-wives put together for their plural family.
“Kody actually said this: ‘Because I only have one child, I’m not entitled to an equal share of the property,'” Meri claimed, again referring to the sale of their common land.
Meri and Kody were legally married from 1990 to 2014. They divorced so Kody could marry his fourth wife. Robyn Brown and legally adopt her three children from a previous relationship. Meri and Kody remained in spiritual union until she confirmed their separation in January 2023.
With Leon, Kody welcomed six children with the two Janelle Brown And Christine Brun before their respective breakups. (Janelle announced her separation in December 2022, while Christine left the plural family in 2021.)
Kody is still married to Robyn, 46, with whom he shares three adopted children and two biological children.
“We had 18 dependent children. You know, it’s just water under the bridge,” Kody told the cameras during Sunday’s episode while discussing splitting assets. “I don’t even want to discuss it. Meri can complain about everything that happened however she wants.
After more than 30 years of marriage, Kody and Meri Brown got through more than one rough patch before confirming their separation in 2023. The couple married in April 1990 before Kody introduced three other wives, Janelle, Christine and Robyn. Brown, in their family. Their unique family life attracted them (…)
While Kody tried to ignore Meri’s claims, she remained adamant that she deserved to receive money from their Coyote Pass property — just like Janelle. (Christine gave her share of the land to Robyn and Kody after her divorce and kept the money to sell her house in Arizona.)
“I invested a lot in this marriage emotionally, financially (and) personally. I didn’t get anything out of it, like child support or anything. And I’m not looking for that,” Meri concluded. “So I think it’s just (I understand) real estate investing. I think it’s only fair that I walk away with at least that.
Elsewhere in the episode, Kody met with a real estate agent to list Coyote Pass, but didn’t keep Janelle or Meri informed. During this time, the women both hired lawyers to try to protect their rights to the land.
