Meri Brown Has a Tense Confrontation with Ex-Husband Kody Brown: “You Can’t Treat Me Like That Anymore.”

Meri Brown is about to have a very tense confrontation with ex-husband Kody Brown when they sit down together for her leg of his apology tour.

In a preview of next week’s episode of Sister Wives, Kody insisted he was “just here to apologize” to his ex-wife, but Meri seemingly wasted no time shutting him down.

“No, I’m going to tell you this Kody,” Meri snapped, interrupting Kody’s train of thought. “You’re not going to shut me down anymore.”

In a confessional, Meri doubled down. “If it gets [to be] any more than this, I’m out!” she exclaimed.

On the latest episode of Sister Wives, Meri informed her friends Jenn and Amber that she would be having a conversation with Kody the next day in Cedar City, Utah. But both friends quickly raised red flags.

Meri was not without her own concerns, noting that Kody “didn’t even acknowledge my presence” during their recent meet-up at Coyote Pass with is other ex-wife Janelle and current wife Robyn.

“The last time I saw Kody, we didn’t even look at each other. It was what it was,” Meri said in a confessional. “So I’m going to go into this conversation very guarded, I think.”

Speaking with Jenn and Amber, Meri said she was “very curious to know” what Kody had up his sleeve, but was not sure how sincere Kody’s gesture was.

When asked what her best-case scenario would look like, Meri said she had already explored that option when she asked Kody via text message if they could “move forward in kindness” following their separation.

Instead of agreeing, however, Meri said Kody called her “immediately” and was instantly “defensive” about her decision to split. Though he ultimately “simmered down,” Meri felt the best-case scenario had been tossed out the window.

“There have been times when I’ve had conversations with Kody and I definitely see the sincerity,” Meri said in a confessional. “And then there’s times when I’m like, are you just saying this? Is this lip service? And why?”

This time, Meri had no clue what to expect from her ex-husband. “I don’t know what Kody I’m going to get because I don’t know Kody anymore,” she said.

In a separate confessional, Kody acknowledged that his apology to Meri could “go bad very quickly.” His strategy, he noted, was to “not escalate” with his ex-wife.

But Meri told Jenn and Amber that she had completely lost trust in her ex-husband after several attempts to be civil with him. Instead, she said, he went on the “attack,” both on her and her friends.

“If you go on the attack on me or my best friend, then I will definitely go on the attack back,” Meri said in a confessional. Later, she revealed her own strategy for the one-on-one meeting.

“I’m going to go into this conversation with Kody with very strong boundaries,” Meri explained. “His energy f—- with my energy. It just does.”

Considering the ugliness that emerged during her attempt to have a “decent divorce,” Meri had no clue what to expect from her conversation with Kody.

“Does he have some ulterior motive? I don’t even know,” she asked herself, echoing Jenn’s concern that Kody’s apology would be a “manipulative” tactic. “I’m just going to go in very open and curious.”

Kody has apologized in previous episodes this season to his other ex-wives, Janelle and Christine.

“For how we broke up, for how it all went down, I want to apologize for being angry about it,” Kody told Christine, referring to their 2021 split after 25 years of marriage. “I want to apologize for the struggles.”

He said something similar to Janelle. “I just wanted to come and say that I apologize,” Kody said, mentioning that he had a list of apologies. “I just love to apologize for, the first thing is, I want to kind of go backwards. I want to apologize for just being so angry and so bitter over the family breakup, and just nobody deserved to have me be that angry.”
