Meri Brown Kody Brown wardrobe control Sister Wives, Digi Mart USA News: Meri Brown is reflecting on the influence her ex-husband Kody Brown had on her wardrobe. In a clip shared to TLC’s Instagram from the Sunday, November 8, episode of Sister Wives, Meri, 55, claimed that Kody, 57, had a lot of say in what she wore when they were married.
“Kody tried to get me to buy overalls like in the ’90s when we first got married, and I’m like, ‘No way,'” Meri told her best friend Jenn Sullivan during a girls’ shopping trip, before admiring a white, floral pair. “These are kind of cute.”
Opening up about her fashion choices during her 30-plus-year marriage to Kody, Meri said the Brown family patriarch “had a lot of suggestions” when it came to how she would dress. “[Kody] didn’t like what I wore on our first meet up,” she claimed.
“He liked to choose the clothes that I wore.”
According to Meri, it was not only her clothing that Kody influenced. She said he had a hand in how all of his wives dressed.
“I didn’t think it was weird at the time. When I think about it now, I think it’s, like, really weird and very controlling,” Meri recalled.
Kody divorced Meri, his first wife, in 2014 so he could legally marry Robyn Brown, his fourth wife, and adopt her children. He remained spiritually married to Meri until they split in 2023.
Kody was also married to Christine Brown Woolley and Janelle Brown, with the pair splitting from Kody in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Kody has a total of 15 biological children with the four women.
“He had certain sweatshirts or hoodies or whatever that he liked to have all of this wear so we could all match,” Meri added. “Maybe it was fun, maybe it was weird.
I’m not sure.”
Kody and Robyn are the only couple to remain married, opting for a monogamous lifestyle after their polygamist family fell apart. They also exited the hit TLC series ahead of season 21, which premiered October 4, shocking fans and Meri alike.
“After 16 years of filming Sister Wives, Kody & Robyn will not be returning to the show,” TLC announced in the season 21 trailer.
While the pair are no longer on the show, they remain at the center of the drama. In a separate clip shared by TLC, Meri said during Sunday’s episode that she still has a hard time trusting Robyn.
“I don’t think that I could ever have a conversation with Robyn and get answers from her,” Meri said. “Same with Kody… it would be really cool if we could just be comfortable with each other.”
Sister Wives airs on TLC Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
