Meri Brown Details Longstanding Pain Over Janelle’s Past Ties to Her Family on Sister Wives One-on-One

Her Jan. 25 One-on-One remarks underscore the role of past family ties plus fertility grief in long‑running tensions.

Overview

  • Meri said Janelle’s shift from former sister‑in‑law to sister wife, after a prior marriage to Meri’s brother Adam Barber, carried “a lot of emotion.”
  • She recounted that Janelle and Kody initially planned their wedding for her birthday and said Kody’s mother intervened to delay it, which Meri viewed as disrespectful.
  • Speaking about fertility struggles, Meri described the pain of watching Kody have children with other wives and questioned how empathetic her co‑wives were during that period.
  • Robyn said the wives informed Meri of pregnancies privately to give her time to process and noted she once offered to be a surrogate to support Meri.
  • Part 3 of the Season 20 One‑on‑One aired Jan. 25, with Meri and Janelle also characterizing Kody as having a “big ego,” and TLC set Part 4 for Feb. 1.
