Sister Wives: Meri Brown’s Brother Was Abusive Towards Janelle In Their Marriage?

Meri and Janelle knew each other before they became Sister Wives. The latter walked down the aisle with the former’s brother, Adam, and became part of a family. However, this marriage couldn’t last long, and Kody decided to start his polygamous life by bringing Janelle into the Browns. Amid all this, several rumors claimed that Meri’s brother was “abusive” towards Janelle.

Christine’s daughter, Mykelti, recently opened up about these rumors and hinted that they were true. She claimed that Janelle resorted to Kody and Meri when she was allegedly facing “abuse” in her first marriage. However, none of the Browns have reflected on this, and Adam has already passed away after battling with terminal cancer.

Sister Wives: Janelle Opens About Her FIRST Marriage With Meri’s Brother

Sister Wives star Janelle Brown recently appeared on Kate Casey‘s Reality Life podcast and talked about her first failed marriage to Adam. She recalled how it was a “very, very short” marriage, as it couldn’t even last for a year. The host stated that it could have been her “starter marriage,” and Janelle couldn’t agree more to it. She added, “[It] probably really qualifies as [that].”

Janelle further revealed that she lived “physically” with Adam for just “six months” and not more than that. However, she didn’t reflect on the reason why her marriage failed, and she couldn’t survive with her ex-husband even for a year. The celeb simply stated that her relationship “just didn’t take.” Hence, the couple decided to part ways in 1990 and ended their marriage.

Apparently, this isn’t the first time Janelle has talked about her first marriage. She revealed a lot in her family’s book Becoming Sister Wives. The celeb explained that Adam had “quite taken” her when she first met him in high school. Janelle wrote that she had “problems” with the latter “right from the start.” She believed that she wasn’t “spiritually, emotionally or romantically compatible” with Adam.

Even after Janelle and Adam’s divorce, the former was connected to her ex-husband’s family. This is because Meri’s mother was helping her with the details of their polygamous faith. She was learning more from her and called her a “great resource.” Hence, the celeb joined the faith after learning details from her ex-mother-in-law. That is why she met Kody for the first time, and things started to fall in their favor.
