Shocking Reason Meri Really Stayed

Some Redditors discussed the possible reason why Meri Brown stayed in the family for so long despite Kody’s rejection. According to the poster, they rewatched Season 6 and were disturbed by how everyone lasted after their tell-all and the therapy session in Sedona. Janelle even confessed to not being invested anymore, but she was a “team player.” But what caught their attention was how Meri endured the pain of receiving no love from Kody.

The Reddit user believes that Meri’s entitlement to family funds as one of the biggest contributors played a significant role in why she continued to stay. There was even a point where Kody jokingly told his under-budgeted wives to sacrifice a little more for the sake of Meri.

• “I believe that when it came to their finances and budgeting that all 4 should have had equal budget to household expenses then a separate budget for food and incidentals according to family size. Then Kody would split his share 5 ways thus giving each wife equal pay from him and he gets his own.”
• “Then Meri should only have to pay 2/17ths of any Lehi bills and keep the rest of her paychecks. If we are going based on family size.”
• “They have never fully explained how finances worked. They did use the joint apocalypse food storage for meals, for example. Who paid for that and how was it decided what could be taken and when?”
• “Robyn asking Meri to announce her pregnancy with Ari was ridiculously cruel. R & K had Meri wrapped around their little fingers. Seems as though they still do, sadly. It was nauseating to see how much Meri admired them while they drove off into the sunset with her money.”
