‘Sister Wives’: Meri Brown Allegedly Stops Mistreatment as Kids Grew and Fought Back?

Sister Wives star Meri Brown is accused of being “abusive” to some of the 18 kids in this family famous for their TLC series. But new allegations say she stopped when the children got old enough to defend themselves.

She has not come forward to speak about the allegations that her once-shared husband’s kids divulged over the last few weeks. But the first reports of this came out years ago.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Quiet Through the Hits

Meri Brown started this family as Kody Brown’s first wife. She has one biological child with the man she once shared with three other wives.

For over a decade of Sister Wives seasons, this family continued to paint the picture of all 18 having four moms. Though today it looks like some of the kids saw things a bit differently.

Over the past few weeks, some of the Sister Wives’ adult children accuse Meri of being abusive when they were kids. Now Mykelti Brown Padron steps up to give her perspective on this.

Mykelti Brown Offers Her Perspective on Meri’s Behavior

Earlier this month, Paedon Brown gave an interview that seemed to open the floodgates. A lot of info about the Sister Wives family came from this interview. But perhaps the most surprising was the accusations he aimed at the first wife of the family.

The 24-year-old son of Kody Brown and Christine Brown said he feared Meri as a kid. When asked if she was abusive or abrasive to the kids, Paedon’s answer dropped jaws.

He said it “went beyond that.” Then Gwendlyn Brown jumped in, backing up what Paedon said. She did this despite confessing she doesn’t like her brother. But she felt he was telling the truth about this, so she piped in.

Gwen said that she thought Mykelti Brown “got the worst of it” and then said that she saw Meri get violent once with Mykelti.

Mykelti doesn’t remember a time when Meri Brown “got violent” with her, as Gwen said. But the mom who just gave birth to twins does believe she got the brunt of Meri’s wrath as a kid.

This is not the first time Meri’s treatment of the Sister Wives’ children came into view. Christine Brown wrote about arguing with Meri over the way she treated her kids years ago.

Then Maddie Brown Brush suggested Meri became a “monster” that she feared as a kid. This reveal came from Maddie a few years back. So, these accusations about Meri mistreating the kids when they were younger are nothing new.

Mykelti Brown Padron said that Meri stopped her “abusive ways” once the kids got old enough to fight back. Meri hasn’t denied or confirmed the allegations made by anyone as of this writing.

But many fans hopped online to ask the same question – where were the other parents while this was allegedly happening?

From what Christine wrote, she confronted Meri Brown years ago about her mistreating the kids. But that’s all that’s been said about the other parents stepping in. So, while the accusations fly, there are still many unanswered questions.
