Kody Brown would like to have a word or two with the higher power.
Yes, what Higher Power.
In the most recent episode of Sister WivesThe TLC reality series focused on Kody’s failed marriage to Meri Brown.
“It’s been an interesting year,” Meri said to the camera at one point, when the topic turned to Kody and why Meri had to leave.
“I really felt like he was doing everything he could to get me to walk away and be able to say, ‘My hands are clean. She was the one who left.’”
Meri and Kody were married from 1994 to 2010.
The latter then divorced the former so that he could get married Robin Brown instead, legally adopt children from a previous relationship.
In last Sunday’s edition, Meri detailed her choice to “move forward with the official termination through the church where we got married.”
She remembers texting Kody that she had started the process to see if he had “any input.” But Kody never responded to the message.
He really sucks.
Afterwards, Meri drove to Utah for a meeting with church leaders, where she was granted what they call a release of the union.
“(It’s) basically the equivalent of a divorce,” she explained on air. “It was a very, very difficult conversation. …That’s not what I wanted to do. This is not what I intended when I married Kody.”
Meri stayed with Kody forever, it seemed like a long time ago when the two were intimate or close in some way.
They announced their separation in January 2023.
Ending their spiritual union meant that Meri and Kody no longer had anything “to keep us together for eternity,” she told viewers last Sunday, emphasizing:
“We are no longer married at all.”
As for Kody?
“Robyn felt like if I waited on God, things might change in my relationship with Meri,” he told cameras in a confessional.
“And that was advice I followed and waited. As time went on, I realized it would never really work.”
See, guys? Nothing about this divorce was Kody’s fault. God just never showed the poor guy the way.
“I feel sorry for Meri about this. I wish I had discovered this sooner,” Kody also said condescendingly.
And although Robyn claimed Kody shed tears during their breakup, the 17-year-old’s father himself told a different story.
“Oh, I’m absolutely relieved it’s over,” he noted on air. “It’s sad. It’s heartbreaking. But I’m relieved that I did it. I had already moved on a long time ago, but let’s be honest: I was scared of what she would do if I ripped off that Band-Aid. Because Meri has never been loyal to me, ever.”
As we said above and as we have said so many times before:
