Sister Wives season 18 episode 11, “Airing The Dirty Laundry”, saw Christine Brown celebrating her daughter Mykelti Padron’s big news while Kody Brown and Meri Brown contemplated the potential end of their relationship. Sister Wives season 18 has greatly explored the damaged relationships between Kody and his wives, especially his marriages to Meri and Janelle Brown. While Kody’s marriage to Janelle still appears to be up in the air, his relationship with Meri has been crumbling for years, and the series has made it a focal point of the most recent episodes of Sister Wives, pushing Meri and Kody to discuss their lack of a marriage.
Although Meri was Kody’s first wife, he’s treated her with a lack of respect and decency throughout Sister Wives. After Meri’s catfishing scandal left the couple on the brink of divorce, Meri had difficulty gaining Kody’s trust back. Meri, who engaged in an extramarital affair with someone she met online before finding out that the person she was talking to wasn’t who they said they were, tried to reassure Kody that she was still fighting for their marriage. Kody agreed to stay together, but the couple was never the same and recent Sister Wives episodes have proven just that.
