‘Sister Wives’: Is Meri Brown Pulling Your Leg?

Some fans say Sister Wives star Meri Brown has used her fame to carve out a few nice niches in life so far, especially with her use of social media.

Now it appears she found yet another way to draw attention to herself. But this has her followers in a huge debate about just what it is they are seeing from her online.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Finds Another Niche

Meri Brown draws a lot of attention to her Friday with Friends live sessions for a few reasons. Many Sister Wives fans hover to see if the original first wife will slip and give off some info about the family.

But she is wise to this and offers a disclaimer before she starts chatting with her best friend, Jenn Sullivan. That pretty much explains the format of the show. They talk a lot about “nothing of substance,” which is part of her disclaimer as well.

Each week it seems that Meri waits for Jenn to click in and then the two chat. They are usually in separate locations but once in a while, they are in the same place. So, as they talk, they read their follower’s comments and answer their questions in real time.

Some viewers say this format gets old, it’s not like Sister Wives where there’s always action. Still, Meri does offer something that tends to spice it up. Her behavior on the screen sparks a weekly debate.

Did Meri Find a Way to Keep Them Coming Back?

Meri Brown’s Friday with Friends spawns a debate weekly. That debate plays out in the comment section of her post. Fans continue to accuse her week after week of being drunk.

Yet, she continues to say that she is not under the influence of alcohol. You do not need to be an expert in the field of helping people with alcohol problems to recognize the symptoms this Sister Wives star may exhibit. But are they real or put on?

Meri Brown’s slurred speech is a dead giveaway, say some fans. Some describe it more like a slow drawl, as she stumbles on her words. Her movements are also exaggerated, like what you’d expect from someone under the influence. Plus, she almost always has a cup while on camera.

To the Sister Wives followers, this behavior seems more pronounced each week. Jenn even kicks in and finishes her sentences for her at times. Yet Meri denies that she is drinking anything stronger than coffee.

Sister Wives: Keeping Up the Ploy?

If Meri Brown is really intoxicated as fans suggest, this is very sad. But Jenn seems like a good friend to this Sister Wives celebrity, so she would likely intervene if this were the case.

After every Friday with Friends airs, the headlines advertise Meri’s inebriated-like behavior. So why would she put herself through these accusations if she’s really not drinking?

Well, so far she’s gathered a lot of attention for her word-slurring and silly gestures. This likely brings more people back each week to check out her behavior on camera.

Sister Wives is filming Season 18. But for 17 seasons so far, Meri has not acted like this on the show. Yet on Friday nights, it’s becoming like clockwork. So, is this Meri acting and enjoying the attention it grabs for her?

Keeping herself alive in the headlines is great publicity for the next season of the TLC show. Or… on a sad note, does Meri Brown have a problem that many fans suspect?
