@@loril6437 So we have to be happy that the children developed the resilience to overcome the challenges and abuse that they suffered? Why not think that no child should ever have to go through that? Maddi lived in fear of Meri during her ENTIRE childhood. Paedon still speaks emotionally of the situation although he is grown and far removed from the situation.... He said Robyn SAVED THE KIDS LIVES. Nobody should ever have to live with that fear. The kids are resilient but they should never have been exposed to such horrible situations.
Amen and thank you.I can't believe I ever watched that show.like who really wants to live like that.I am truthfully sad for all of them.I hope they all find a better life because they all seem not so happy anymore.life seems perfect when your young lol.As we age we realize how dysfunctional this world really is ..God bless them though.Hope they truly find happiness.
These people were not polygamists since before starting on tv and you never ever saw them living that way. They tried to copy another show (Big Love) - just a garish unattractive version of it and failed miserably. If you aren’t yourself a polygamist you don’t know. I say this with actual experience.
Everyone is talk about how terrible Mary was but I quite honestly feel bad for her. Christine exaggerates alll the time and and I think her son is too. There is a difference between getting a spanking and being abused…. They are not interchangeable.
right im still waiting on her lil tea cuz she not perfect either how is it she marry and come back to a show if the baby daddy was so bad oh he this he that but made sure you went back if it was moving on and up why come back whether any of them wanna hate they cant say meri aint help and put her money on they kids and that family i think its sad very sad she sacrificed a lot for them and that man including a marriage
What the son neglected to say was that he has actually put his hands on 1 or more of his own sisters and theres reasons y he and his mom go without speaking at times......but Meri is always the bad guy to them. Yeah yeah
It’s so interesting that all these outlets are ignoring what Paedon said about Kody’s own abusive discipline, or Kody wanting to control what his kids say about him through a gag order through TLC
And we are ignoring that he not only never said exactly how he was abused but he is hiding in the bathroom to participate in this ground shattering interview. I mean could the symbolism besny clearer. This guy just laid out a bunch of b.s.
Meri has now seperated from Kody, and now the Meri bashing begins and he is over praising Robyn. My thing is if Meri was verbally and physically abusive to Christine's children, I can't see Christine being the type of parent who would have put up with that at all.
She said for a long time that she felt like she didn’t have a voice, that she was a basement wife, that her kids “needs” came last. I think she felt helpless in the situation and regrets that she didn’t speak up for her children more. That’s why now she says she won’t have a relationship with Meri going forward.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesisif you watch Christine’s first season, she very much says that she chose to be the only mom and what she thought was the last wife. She wanted to be indispensable. Christine also said that Janelle was more interested in working. We saw Janelle not parent. She worked until 8pm and was gone before the kids woke up. So… I don’t know. We saw that Meri had a great relationship with Christine’s younger kids and Christine wasn’t happy about it. It was suggested by Kody that Christine’s 2 daughters live with Meri when they lived in LV and the girls were happy about it. So… I don’t know.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis- and I think that we forget how selfish Christine was in the beginning. She was pretty conniving and she guessed very wrongly that Kody would like her more IF she was young and took care of the kids. But, Kody was finding wives to ease Meri’s pain and depression around not being able to have more babies. So, I don’t think “the kids” should really be talking. I don’t think they can grasp the idea of depression and this was before infertility treatments and invitro. This is something that they couldn’t have afforded back then. Christine realized how much peace she had when they lived separately and then she got upset about Robyn and was unable to recover. Meri was Kody’s love match. He replaced her with Robyn. Everyone else was brought on to help Meri/Robin. So… yea. I think that’s not how someone should find wives.
I am sorry but I have to take what he said with a grain of salt, cause there where 4 other adults who for sure if something was going on must have seen it..and they did nothing?!!!!!
I think I know the scene you’re referring to, and no they didn’t allow Solomon to go because he was going through a clingy phase with his parents. They did say Breanna was free to go. If she was really as awful as Padeon is implying, they wouldn’t have let ANY of the children go with her. I think Paedon is coloring the truth a bit here
I’m convinced that the divorce from Meri was NEVER Meri’s idea. Kody convinced her to put it that way so it would appear to the public to be Meri’s willing sacrifice and suggestion for the sake of Robyn’s kids. But… I’m not buying it. This was ALL Kody’s idea to deepen his commitment to Robyn while quietly squeezing Meri out. He never forgave her for the catfish incident, even though he’s the one who created the emotional vacuum in Meri’s life which caused to to seek affirmation elsewhere. Ever since then, she’s been sticking it out to get back in Kody’s good graces, but he’s only been using her for the sake of the TLC income. She’s been sticking around because she knows she can’t make it on her own.
I mean good, right? This changes everything. Kody squeezed out somebody who was actively going to merk a few of his kids via abu$3z. As much as a home wrecker Robyn is, she saved Paedon and Maddie’s lives. I’m glad meri was squeezed out, but I do think Kody should have officially left the child abu$3r rather than trying to ice her out to leave on her own. And your time line is off. Kody couldn’t have been holding a grudge for the catfish at the time of the divorce, because it hadn’t happened yet.
yeah, I have to wonder if this is just another segment of robyn’s an angel, the other wives were horrible monsters campaign. was this the child who told Kody Christine was bad mouthing him?
I think Kody quit loving meri because Robyn brought the child abuse of his kids to light. It sounds like it was really bad. That also shows why Robyn and Kody refused to let meri take their small kids to the B&B alone. Maybe? I don’t know but she always has a scowl on her face during the interviews and family time.
If this is true then all the parents are to blame. with over a dozen kids in the house and either the parents didn’t know it and didn’t stop Meri from doing it all of you are to blame! You can’t point to one specific parent on this one
I guess Kody didn’t believe the other two moms until Robyn came in and convinced him how serious it was. But yeah, they owed it to the kids to leave meri.
I want the truth. I believe it but also he’s a confirmed racist and homophobic monster (he slapped two of his sisters) well Learned Behaviors. It’s time for this show to be canceled they are too toxic for tv… also catch that shade he gave his Trans brother Leon. Also, how can Kody not have known but Robyn saw it on day one. Sounds like Meri is being the sacrificial lamb. She clearly went against Meri and Robyn so he’s out to destroy her reputation by bringing up her past abuse. Let’s call a spade a spade. This was a woman who helped him get all three of his additional wives. Literally they all connected with Kody through Meri. She then watched as these women gave him child after child. When she could only have one. She was jealous and she took it out on her Sister Wives and their children. Was it right . Absolutely not but I blame every adult for allowing her to continue to bully and abuse those children. They were all monsters.
There has been comments hinting at this for years, Paedon is just connecting the dots & putting it out there. Good to know something positive about Robyn
Agreed. That’s probly why she never let any of the other mothers take her kids. No one was going to protect them from meri if they needed the protecting.
@@meggie423 Sadly, I think it’s that religion….they think nothing of physically punishing kids. 😤😤 I don’t get the sense the other 3 wives were abusive.
Meris house was in the middle between Janelles and Christine's. Meri worked and Christine's wild undisciplined kids would go through her house to Janelles house, check out the fridge, help themselves etc. I'd be pissed too. Not sticking up for her just stating what Janelle said.
Yes he's got some of his dad's mannerisms but he's not his dad! He went against his dad that took a lot of Courage for him to do that! So just cuz he looks like his dad and has some of his mannerisms does not mean he's going to end up like his dad! Cody who is a narcissistic self-absorbed Man child!
What got me with Meri was the tantrum she threw at her daughters graduation! I always suspected that Meri was difficult, and THAT sealed the deal for me! I’m NOT surprised about the allegations-but I think that Meri was TOTALLY InLove with Kody and she just couldn’t handle the other wives relationships with him. A lot of jealousy and bitterness attributed to her bad behavior. Very Sad actually!
Tantrum? She wanted to sit where she could best watch her ONLY child graduate and Kody and the other's were making them late. You wouldn't be upset by that? Come on now! Be honest peeps.
I remember jenelle talking in therapy about how when they all lived together Meri wouldn’t let the kids use the staircase running through her apartment so the kids would need to go outside and all the way around if they wanted to go upstairs to Christine. This moment made me realise what a horrible mother and sister wife Meri is :/
didn’t they say in the early years of the show, the kids were unsupervised going into her apartment and things were broken, missing or moved around and left a mess when they went through her area?
It's an even sadder situation when you realize that Padeon shared a room with his brothers on Janelle's side of thr Lehi house. That meant Paedon would have dinner and prayers with his mom and sisters, then bath and ready for bed, then bundle up and put on shoes to get to where he was sleeping. Janelle knew it was a power move to inconvenience everyone. Meri played the victim card and said it was about privacy. If Kody were any kind of leader, he would have told Meri that the kids can quietly use the hallway she created with furniture between certain hours or she could take the bottom apartment. It would seem that Kody was as afraid of Meri as Madison and Paedon.
@@AmethystEyes She saw the new favorite wife get the 7 bedroom house and there was no way Meri would settle for less. Just like she needed a huge house with a pool when they first got to Las Vegas, were spending Janelle's retirement and money was tight. They all seemed to be operating under the agreement that Meri likes nice things and she will not be told no.
I think its important to put things in perspective and see different POV's. Would any of you like it, if you work and have only one child which means your home is tidy and peacefull, having a herd of children passing trough your appartment all hours of the day, everyday?? Be honest! I certainly would not! Not a Meri fan but just saying...
They should have removed Meri from that home. Reported it to the authorities. Not gone on national TV. Polygamy is frown upon exactly because of this type of silent abuse
Ok but where the hell was Kristine and Janelle?? They didn’t know. All in 1 house? This is hard to believe they didn’t know. What kind of mothers does it say for Kristine and Janelle?
Janelle, Meri and Kody all worked, Christine stayed home with the kids, but from what it appears Kody and Meri were more of the disciplinarians, but Meri was the parent that was actually strict and had boundaries in place with the kids
Where was Christine when this was happening to her kids? How could you even sit in the same room with someone that abused your kids! This family just makes no sense…!
@@essieessie5399 this! When the early years are talked about both Janell and Christine seem to hold resentment towards Meri that they don’t come right out with
@@essieessie5399 AND Ch did stick up for her kids, and she and Meri had a big blowout. They wrote about that in their book. Ch said that M was no longer to discipline her kids. Meri was pissed. Soon after that, Meri chose to bring Robyn into the family BEHIND the backs of J and Ch - with an intent to hurt Christine. That sinsister ploy of Meri's was successful in hurting Chrtistine - and 12 years later Ch and J leave. Meanwhile, Meri had considered herself to be a master manipulator, yet was wildly outplayed by Robyn, who usurped all of Meri's power, and then left Meri in shambles.
Is Paedon saying his mother Christine didn't know what was happening to her children like an neglectful parent or she put up with Meri being abusive to her children? No caring mother puts up with another woman being abusive to her children. I CALL BULLCRAP on the one. Christine is not an actress, protects her children and never would have allowed that to happen more than once.
I call bs. Meri spent a whole episode making a bedroom for Robin's little girls at her house, and they were staying with her and one of the other littles (either Christine's or Janelle's girl in the same age range - they called them The Pixies because they were all close in age). If Robin had magically saved the older kids from abuse by Meri, I doubt she'd have allowed Meri to have the kids.
Why after all these years would you want to burn the people by in your family.??? I see your dad has been very abusive to his wives for years because of mistreatment alienate them and make people feel bad. I'm sure because of the wives leaving proves the abuse from Kody. He has lied about a lot of things including taking their money.
This seems like damage control... with all the criticism towards Robyn and Kody, it wouldn't surprise me if he was asked to make these statements from his Dad. Throwing Meri under the bus days after the divorce to make him appear to be a victim. Just my opinion
John Yates the blogger thank you for a great interview😊I really believed she was one of the good loving moms ,what a shocker ,,, the interview was three hours long so good it didn’t feel like it was that long ,Got to watch if you haven’t already , Paedon has a little dad and a little mom personality .❤
I had always thought that Meri was one of the good moms as well. Although for the past few months I've been hearing stories of how she can really be. I will definitely be checking this interview out for sure.
That's sad. But maybe she had to wear the pants. Why bring it up now? This sounds like one big mess. Like everyone is turning on each other. I feel bad for Meri
If your parents reside under the same roof as you and allow such behavior from a "sister wife" or others they're partly responsible for what happened to you. It shouldn't take "Robyn" or anyone else to point out apparent indiscretions toward children. Sorry, I don't buy it. This whole family has been deceptive. Cancel the show already.
I was always brought up with my parents who told me " if you don't have anything good to say,then don't say anything at all"!!....plus I think meri did get fed up with all of the children at times,and did shout at them because wouldn't you shout if you constantly had up to 18 children going In and out through your home all day!!...Point made!!!
He smiles when he talks about the way Meri acted towards him. He loves shock value. He loves all the media attention he's getting. He's loud he's obnoxious and not credible.
Janelle never disciplined because she was working. Christine never disciplined because she wants to be nice. It really leaves Meri and Kody. I don’t know.
dont seem to be no discipline then it goes back to on the show kody use to complain the boys dont wanna do nothing and the mothers a take up for them do he work? dont watch the show anymore but kinda sad to hear him say that yet the mothers never spoke up if true!
There’s a confessional where Janelle said Christine used to be more conservative and once sent one of her kids to his bedroom for the night when he said the f word and his siblings snuck him food like he was in jail. I think Christine raised the kids as a parent should. I think I trust gabes opinion the most. He seems the most real thought Christine did a good job parenting them.
Why suddenly are you airing all your family dysfunction? So if your accusations are even true the other adults turn their heads. Shame on you deal with this privately.
Pardon, will say anything for attention. If Meri was that bad Christine would say so to protect her children. Pardon was not a stand out Brown child. He is now, with his shirts pointing at the wife he now says saved them, Please!
It just all seems scripted at this point. Robyn somehow opened people’s eyes about Meri. I don’t believe that they all knew how Meri was.I know Meri had her ways about her but she sure divorced kody so robyn and her kids could benefit. Robyn would have never done the same for another wife. But let’s not see how Robyn was shown favoritism repeatedly over the other wives and never worked or did anything but ended up in a house bigger than Janelle who should have had the house robyn lived in. Robyn is just more sneaky and comes off kind but behind the scenes she is manipulative and knows exactly what she is doing.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I absolutely agree!!! Can’t stand how it’s so oblivious to most people! Robyn has had a plan since day 1 and has succeeded The Master manipulator( Robyn) out played the manipulator( Meri)
Meri needed an ally in the family - hence Robyn. I don’t believe her divorcing Kody was altruistic. Robyn was indebted to Meri for “saving” her children. That’s what Meri needed to secure her position in the family.
I call BS on this. Meri worked so did Jannel and Kristine took care of the kids for the most part. What does this say about his own mother? She allowed it? BS! This kid reminds me so much of Cody in his looks, the way he speaks and in his mannerisms.
I really do think that Paedon is simply saying what his Father (cough, cough) wanted him to say so as to more of a bad light on Meri! This man is so arrogant and such a narcissist that I literally had to turn off the TV I was so angry! I mean "I don't care about love, it's the respect that's important to me"! You don't get the respect if you don't show any love! I would feel nothing but anger and disgust for a man who said he didn't want anything to do with her! Pardon, Grow up and be a man instead of slinging mud at Meri! Your Dad should have had ONE WIFE ONLY instead of having a few women and choosing one favorite out if all of them! Give M e a break!
Agree or disagree with me but this is really low on his part , to make Robyn less of a villain, I'm sure someone had to be the voice of discipline in a household that Large , I don't believe it all ok pic and choose what you will from this but shame on him for ruining Meri for her future moving on from this horrible trainwreck , Madea in Madea's family has a scene where the unruly boy's of the family were so bad he smacked the boy several times to control a child who was unruly all in the name of comedy , yet relatable , my feeling is he didn't like discipline that is obvious but to ruin someone's life for your own gain , and not just Meri TLC also , I hope after this TLC chooses to not go forward with any shows or spinoffs , to me he's been very negative and narcissistic all along now this attack towards Meri is blown out of proportion to glorify Robin . Smh ....
Exactly, I wouldn’t put it past Kody for him to “expose” this side of Meri and send his kid out to do it. That boy also has it out for women period and minorities hint his raciest remarks. The fact still stands if all the adults were in that house and no one stopped her from using a belt or switch or whatever (if it went too far like Christine said) Kody, Janelle, and Christine are still in the wrong for allowing their children to be in that space.
Shame on Meri for being such a mean-girl bully to J, Ch, and their kids. AND for bringing Robyn into the family BEHIND the backs of J and Ch. (While Ch was pregnant!) Meri stews in a misery of her own making.
I remember an Episode were Gwendolyn and Ysebel went to spend the night with Meri. Now, she was probably terrible to the older kids mainly the boys and Madison. I can’t see her being mean to Aspen (maybe Makelti) but I think Meri had her favorites. She praised Logan and she sat up front at his wedding. Not giving Meri any grace but jealousy combined with frustration causes that type of behavior. Janelle was at work. Christine doesn’t seem to be the type to discipline. I find it hard Kody didn’t know Meri was kicking ass in that house.
This makes all sense! Now I understand why Kody divorced her! And why she signed the papers so easy! Ik also understand why Robyn never let her kids with Meri! And why Christine and Janelle move like best friends but don't even bother to talk to Meri!
@@clarazolud4835 Yes, I ment that! I never understood why none of other wives shared the childcare with Meri. Never understood why none asked Meri to help out with babysitting.. Now it makes sens why there is nanny!
@@reneegardner2286 Lol yeah, now we know why! I don't think she would ever had signed the papers if Kody and Robyn had nothing to hold against her! Remember they are very religious..
The worst part about this report is that TLC was fully knowledgeable of the child/wife abuse and did nothing, because $$$ are more important to the greedy Execs and producers of the show. SHAME!!
Interesting that he smiled when describing it. Pretty damaging statements and unsurprising to see people in the comments jumping on it like they know and are better.
He’s not honest he’s woke. The woke generation has been brainwashed to believe their parents are mean and hateful people. He even dislikes some of his siblings. His childhood pics looks like he’s a loud mouth trouble maker I can’t believe if he was abuse that he would not open his mouth about it like he’s doing now. He’s smiling while he’s saying he’s abused. Abused kids do not smile while they are telling you they were extremely abused. Being intolerant of loud mouth trouble maker kids is not abusive. Having kids not running through your house all day long is not abuse. Yeh she might have been intolerant or even mean by using harsh words but thats normal parent behavior with some kids. Some kids can be a handful I mean look at janelle she never wanted to be around her kids all day long she even admitted it. She said she’d rather work then be at home with the kids. So, whatever paedon says you need to take with a grain of salt because he’s exaggerating most of it
I remember when they said they couldn't pass threw Meris house even tho she lived in the Middle . I bet Meri was the only disciplinary in the family. Butttt I also believe she was taken anger out on them bc she was Jelous of them
Idk I can see where she could definitely be “mean” or “abrasive”, but here’s the deal. If she truly physically abused any of those kids, and if Christine, for example knew about it and stayed, that’s messed up. Because Christine now says, Meri and her will not ever have a friendship, but she wishes her the best, etc. I can’t say I would be saying that about someone who was physically abusing my kids. So idk how much to believe about what he’s saying.
I have to wonder if this is just the latest episode of the “robyn is so perfect” campaign put out by the kody camp, since blaming “horrible” Christine didn’t work. we all know NO ONE is buying the it was my decision bs being put out from Meri and Kody’s joint statement
Sounds more like just giving recognition to something positive someone did. He wasn't like "Oh my God, Robyn's the best...." All he said was he would never hate her because she opened people's eyes. He did NOT say he liked her. There's a difference.
Sounds like a angry young man! I’m not convinced he knows what abuse is.?I can’t imagine the stress and pressure the adults were going through, publicly and privately. They’ve all said for a long time that they are entrepreneurs and they definitely know how to work social media. I don’t think we can trust that it any of this isn’t just a publicity stunt to increase revenue. We will never understand what this family lived. I’m not passing judgement on anyone. That generation feels like the have to shred their relationships with their parents in order to motivate them to start their own lives. 🤦🏻♀️
🤣🤣🤣 He can't stand Robyn. You didn't see the shirt he had made and wore that said, " what does the nanny do?" He's gaslighting and trying to stay relevant and throwing everyone under the bus at different times and then saying he loves them at others. Remember, his own Mom kicked HIM out of the house for attacking his sister.
You missed the point he was making... He meant that if Robyn wouldn't have come into the family, his mother and the other wives would have never seen Kody and their toxic family for what it was "it opened many eyes", it awakened them to the truth.
Some of these comments- let me give you the perspective of someone who grew up in a strict religious church. My mom was part of a church, and the leaders were REALLY strict, the female one in particular. In church if my toddler sister was being noisy she would “help” my mom by taking her out of church into the back. My mom said later she was always suspicious that she was far too harsh with my baby sister, spanking her and speaking harshly and being rough. But my mom could never really prove it, and to bring allegations against a church leader is VERY SERIOUS. They can come back and say that you’re being spiteful, not using discipline in your household or basically punish you by making you “withdrawn from the church”. It’s like being shunned. My mom didn’t know what to do. Years later this woman was revealed by her step-children to have been horribly cruel and abusive, whipping them with switches across the backs of their legs and leaving bruises on their bodies. My mom is a good person and she felt such shame that as a young, overwhelmed mom who believed in what was right- she never spoke up. She always regretted not finding her voice. I’m telling you, I think Meri was somewhat like that. It’s very telling that in a family that huge, almost nobody likes her or wants to talk to her anymore. Everyone has been hinting that she mistreated the children and other wives for years. I believe that She dislikes children in general but there’s a few she thought were okay, hers included. But even her own child doesn’t really have that close of a relationship with her. It’s because they know how cruel she can be. It’s why Janelle and Christine had so many issues with her. I believe she targeted the boys in particular, and was easier on the girls. Nowadays you just see her playing victim over and over, but her family doesn’t buy it. They’ve seen sides of her that we haven’t. It’s very telling that the children gravitate towards Janelle and Christine- but not Meri. Children never forget the ones who cause them pain. I know it in my heart, Meri isn’t who she pretends to be.
What’s going to come up next! Why was this never revealed. I’m no fan of Meri, but come on. With Christine’s big mouth, I’m sure she would have let this one be known.
Don't believe it for a minute! Mary is the only likable wife and Janelle can't stand Robin but Christine is the worst her with her leather pants please!
I 100% believe this. Meri has always been manipulative, conniving and sleazy. She didn’t want to be in a plural marriage - she wanted Kody, and he wanted one, so she went along with it and took it out on his children with his other wives. I hope she reaps every painful seed she’s sown. May she be miserable.
We couldn't get a better show than Sister Wives to show the world that polygamy never works and it is the children that always suffer.
What a great opening statement to a trial about abuse in polygamy.! You should be a lawyer or a teacher
Kids are resilient: they are going to college and have mom's that love and support them. So you basically are wrong. 😣
@@loril6437 So we have to be happy that the children developed the resilience to overcome the challenges and abuse that they suffered? Why not think that no child should ever have to go through that?
Maddi lived in fear of Meri during her ENTIRE childhood. Paedon still speaks emotionally of the situation although he is grown and far removed from the situation.... He said Robyn SAVED THE KIDS LIVES. Nobody should ever have to live with that fear.
The kids are resilient but they should never have been exposed to such horrible situations.
Amen and thank you.I can't believe I ever watched that show.like who really wants to live like that.I am truthfully sad for all of them.I hope they all find a better life because they all seem not so happy anymore.life seems perfect when your young lol.As we age we realize how dysfunctional this world really is ..God bless them though.Hope they truly find happiness.
These people were not polygamists since before starting on tv and you never ever saw them living that way.

Everyone is talk about how terrible Mary was but I quite honestly feel bad for her. Christine exaggerates alll the time and and I think her son is too. There is a difference between getting a spanking and being abused…. They are not interchangeable.
Spanking a child is HITTING a person. Do not diminish the assault.
right im still waiting on her lil tea cuz she not perfect either how is it she marry and come back to a show if the baby daddy was so bad oh he this he that but made sure you went back if it was moving on and up why come back whether any of them wanna hate they cant say meri aint help and put her money on they kids and that family i think its sad very sad she sacrificed a lot for them and that man including a marriage
What the son neglected to say was that he has actually put his hands on 1 or more of his own sisters and theres reasons y he and his mom go without speaking at times......but Meri is always the bad guy to them. Yeah yeah
It’s so interesting that all these outlets are ignoring what Paedon said about Kody’s own abusive discipline, or Kody wanting to control what his kids say about him through a gag order through TLC
EXACTLY
Totally!!!
Probably tlc asked them to suppress that part

And we are ignoring that he not only never said exactly how he was abused but he is hiding in the bathroom to participate in this ground shattering interview. I mean could the symbolism besny clearer. This guy just laid out a bunch of b.s.
Meri has now seperated from Kody, and now the Meri bashing begins and he is over praising Robyn. My thing is if Meri was verbally and physically abusive to Christine's children, I can't see Christine being the type of parent who would have put up with that at all.
Yes! Thank you!! Exactly what I was thinking.
She said for a long time that she felt like she didn’t have a voice, that she was a basement wife, that her kids “needs” came last. I think she felt helpless in the situation and regrets that she didn’t speak up for her children more. That’s why now she says she won’t have a relationship with Meri going forward.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesisif you watch Christine’s first season, she very much says that she chose to be the only mom and what she thought was the last wife. She wanted to be indispensable. Christine also said that Janelle was more interested in working. We saw Janelle not parent. She worked until 8pm and was gone before the kids woke up. So… I don’t know.
We saw that Meri had a great relationship with Christine’s younger kids and Christine wasn’t happy about it. It was suggested by Kody that Christine’s 2 daughters live with Meri when they lived in LV and the girls were happy about it. So… I don’t know.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis- and I think that we forget how selfish Christine was in the beginning. She was pretty conniving and she guessed very wrongly that Kody would like her more IF she was young and took care of the kids. But, Kody was finding wives to ease Meri’s pain and depression around not being able to have more babies. So, I don’t think “the kids” should really be talking. I don’t think they can grasp the idea of depression and this was before infertility treatments and invitro. This is something that they couldn’t have afforded back then. Christine realized how much peace she had when they lived separately and then she got upset about Robyn and was unable to recover. Meri was Kody’s love match. He replaced her with Robyn. Everyone else was brought on to help Meri/Robin. So… yea. I think that’s not how someone should find wives.
Yeah she definitely wouldn't I doubt any of these entitled kids even really know what abuse is
watching Meri over the years she just seems so mean. like just a mean spirit.
Definitely! And I think this last season showed just how mean spirited Meri has always been
She the 1st wife so she has subtle hatred towards ALL of them it's a natural human feelings seeing your husband with several women
I am sorry but I have to take what he said with a grain of salt, cause there where 4 other adults who for sure if something was going on must have seen it..and they did nothing?!!!!!
Sad spiteful spirit,and I actually liked her until Maddie said what she did
@Mama Bear what he was talking about was going on almost entirely before Robyn came into the picture. And kody only listens to Robyn so there's that.
I remember one scene where Robyn and Kody wouldn't let their son go with Meri. Now I know the real reason why.
Yes!!! That scene was the first thing that came to my mind!
I think I know the scene you’re referring to, and no they didn’t allow Solomon to go because he was going through a clingy phase with his parents. They did say Breanna was free to go. If she was really as awful as Padeon is implying, they wouldn’t have let ANY of the children go with her. I think Paedon is coloring the truth a bit here
I’m convinced that the divorce from Meri was NEVER Meri’s idea. Kody convinced her to put it that way so it would appear to the public to be Meri’s willing sacrifice and suggestion for the sake of Robyn’s kids.
But…
I’m not buying it.
This was ALL Kody’s idea to deepen his commitment to Robyn while quietly squeezing Meri out. He never forgave her for the catfish incident, even though he’s the one who created the emotional vacuum in Meri’s life which caused to to seek affirmation elsewhere.
Ever since then, she’s been sticking it out to get back in Kody’s good graces, but he’s only been using her for the sake of the TLC income. She’s been sticking around because she knows she can’t make it on her own.
I mean good, right? This changes everything. Kody squeezed out somebody who was actively going to merk a few of his kids via abu$3z. As much as a home wrecker Robyn is, she saved Paedon and Maddie’s lives. I’m glad meri was squeezed out, but I do think Kody should have officially left the child abu$3r rather than trying to ice her out to leave on her own. And your time line is off. Kody couldn’t have been holding a grudge for the catfish at the time of the divorce, because it hadn’t happened yet.
yeah, I have to wonder if this is just another segment of robyn’s an angel, the other wives were horrible monsters campaign. was this the child who told Kody Christine was bad mouthing him?
I think Kody quit loving meri because Robyn brought the child abuse of his kids to light. It sounds like it was really bad. That also shows why Robyn and Kody refused to let meri take their small kids to the B&B alone. Maybe? I don’t know but she always has a scowl on her face during the interviews and family time.
It was Meri's idea. What kind of caring woman to do that. Then gets treated like crap.
@@HoneyB16 why make disparaging remarks about children? Not necessary.
If this is true then all the parents are to blame. with over a dozen kids in the house and either the parents didn’t know it and didn’t stop Meri from doing it all of you are to blame! You can’t point to one specific parent on this one
I guess Kody didn’t believe the other two moms until Robyn came in and convinced him how serious it was. But yeah, they owed it to the kids to leave meri.
The other 2 moms should have reported her or left the family. But the money and show were important
@@katherinekathy3589 correct, they must have known if it was so bad yet they stayed and did nothing
@@katherinekathy3589 this would have been pre show if it was before Robyn.
@@stephaniemomma if it were true Robyn wouldn't have allowed Meri to be so close to her children so Paydeon in my opinion is telling tale tells.
I believe him because too many in the family have said similar things about her.
Accusing of child abuse is pretty darn serious. Oh boy
Your rigth your vary beautiful from California
I want the truth. I believe it but also he’s a confirmed racist and homophobic monster (he slapped two of his sisters) well Learned Behaviors. It’s time for this show to be canceled they are too toxic for tv… also catch that shade he gave his Trans brother Leon.
Also, how can Kody not have known but Robyn saw it on day one. Sounds like Meri is being the sacrificial lamb. She clearly went against Meri and Robyn so he’s out to destroy her reputation by bringing up her past abuse.
Let’s call a spade a spade. This was a woman who helped him get all three of his additional wives. Literally they all connected with Kody through Meri. She then watched as these women gave him child after child. When she could only have one.
She was jealous and she took it out on her Sister Wives and their children. Was it right . Absolutely not but I blame every adult for allowing her to continue to bully and abuse those children. They were all monsters.
They may close the show down now.
There has been comments hinting at this for years, Paedon is just connecting the dots & putting it out there. Good to know something positive about Robyn
Agreed. That’s probly why she never let any of the other mothers take her kids. No one was going to protect them from meri if they needed the protecting.
@@stephaniemomma Well, they had mothers right, where were they? They must have known, shame on them
@@meggie423 Sadly, I think it’s that religion….they think nothing of physically punishing kids. 😤😤
I don’t get the sense the other 3 wives were abusive.
Meris house was in the middle between Janelles and Christine's. Meri worked and Christine's wild undisciplined kids would go through her house to Janelles house, check out the fridge, help themselves etc. I'd be pissed too. Not sticking up for her just stating what Janelle said.
OMG he looks and sounds like the splitting image of his father 😨
Yes he does!!!
Yup just a bigger idiot
Spot on!!! The energy, the vibe!
Yes he's got some of his dad's mannerisms but he's not his dad! He went against his dad that took a lot of Courage for him to do that! So just cuz he looks like his dad and has some of his mannerisms does not mean he's going to end up like his dad! Cody who is a narcissistic self-absorbed Man child!
What got me with Meri was the tantrum she threw at her daughters graduation! I always suspected that Meri was difficult, and THAT sealed the deal for me! I’m NOT surprised about the allegations-but I think that Meri was TOTALLY InLove with Kody and she just couldn’t handle the other wives relationships with him. A lot of jealousy and bitterness attributed to her bad behavior. Very Sad actually!
Tantrum? She wanted to sit where she could best watch her ONLY child graduate and Kody and the other's were making them late. You wouldn't be upset by that? Come on now! Be honest peeps.
@Rebecca Crakow
I find it EXTREMELY difficult to have any sympathy for Merii, she was in fact the one that 'hunted' out Sobbin !
Do you have kids? Of course she wanted to see her only child graduate.
This kid seems as dramatic as his father.
Your so write
I believe meri was not the nicest I do not believe that she was abusive... he wants attention
I remember jenelle talking in therapy about how when they all lived together Meri wouldn’t let the kids use the staircase running through her apartment so the kids would need to go outside and all the way around if they wanted to go upstairs to Christine. This moment made me realise what a horrible mother and sister wife Meri is :/
didn’t they say in the early years of the show, the kids were unsupervised going into her apartment and things were broken, missing or moved around and left a mess when they went through her area?
Remember when she threw a fit about wanting the biggest house despite having only one child?
It's an even sadder situation when you realize that Padeon shared a room with his brothers on Janelle's side of thr Lehi house. That meant Paedon would have dinner and prayers with his mom and sisters, then bath and ready for bed, then bundle up and put on shoes to get to where he was sleeping.
Janelle knew it was a power move to inconvenience everyone. Meri played the victim card and said it was about privacy. If Kody were any kind of leader, he would have told Meri that the kids can quietly use the hallway she created with furniture between certain hours or she could take the bottom apartment.
It would seem that Kody was as afraid of Meri as Madison and Paedon.
@@AmethystEyes She saw the new favorite wife get the 7 bedroom house and there was no way Meri would settle for less. Just like she needed a huge house with a pool when they first got to Las Vegas, were spending Janelle's retirement and money was tight.
They all seemed to be operating under the agreement that Meri likes nice things and she will not be told no.
I think its important to put things in perspective and see different POV's.
Would any of you like it, if you work and have only one child which means your home is tidy and peacefull, having a herd of children passing trough your appartment all hours of the day, everyday?? Be honest! I certainly would not! Not a Meri fan but just saying...
Im sorry i highly doubt any of those entitled kids even know what abuse is ? And i doubt Christine or jenelle would have put up with any kind of abuse
Well shame on you dad and other wives that didn’t stop nor help the children being hurt.. all of you that didn’t help the children are just has wrong.
They should have removed Meri from that home. Reported it to the authorities. Not gone on national TV. Polygamy is frown upon exactly because of this type of silent abuse
Why is he on the floor of an accesible bathroom.
It's actually a bedroom. The hand rails are for the elderly person whoses room it is.
Kody being kind is hysterical. He does not have a kind bone in his body.
Agreed just a manipulative egotistical one. If that dude isnt a narcissist there's no such thing as narcissism.
Ok but where the hell was Kristine and Janelle?? They didn’t know. All in 1 house? This is hard to believe they didn’t know. What kind of mothers does it say for Kristine and Janelle?
Janelle, Meri and Kody all worked, Christine stayed home with the kids, but from what it appears Kody and Meri were more of the disciplinarians, but Meri was the parent that was actually strict and had boundaries in place with the kids
Kody hasn't been nice to Mari for years. I think that is bs because kindness and Kody don't go together.
Meri was a horrible mean-girl bully from the very beginning.
Can you imagine 18 kids running around in one house, crazy!!
Where was Christine when this was happening to her kids? How could you even sit in the same room with someone that abused your kids! This family just makes no sense…!
Christine was also a victim.
@@essieessie5399 this! When the early years are talked about both Janell and Christine seem to hold resentment towards Meri that they don’t come right out with
@@essieessie5399 AND Ch did stick up for her kids, and she and Meri had a big blowout. They wrote about that in their book. Ch said that M was no longer to discipline her kids. Meri was pissed.
Soon after that, Meri chose to bring Robyn into the family BEHIND the backs of J and Ch - with an intent to hurt Christine.
That sinsister ploy of Meri's was successful in hurting Chrtistine - and 12 years later Ch and J leave.
Meanwhile, Meri had considered herself to be a master manipulator, yet was wildly outplayed by Robyn, who usurped all of Meri's power, and then left Meri in shambles.
@@ShellBAtoms A classic case of, "Be careful what you wish for". It all blew up and back fired in Meri's face. Karma!
exactly same as her saying oh kody so bad bad bad then leave marry someone else and come back! Really but everybody else demons a lot hating and sad
He also said his father hit him on his bum several times with a paddle and smacked him in the mouth but that cody did it with love ???
Is Paedon saying his mother Christine didn't know what was happening to her children like an neglectful parent or she put up with Meri being abusive to her children? No caring mother puts up with another woman being abusive to her children. I CALL BULLCRAP on the one. Christine is not an actress, protects her children and never would have allowed that to happen more than once.
Let's be clear as well.. Christine has never been that close with Meri too!
I can see this tbh meri has a mean side to her that seems scary.
I think Kody and all of the wives are abusive honestly…
His voice is almost identical to his pos father.
oh and his father isn't?! wtf 😒
I call bs. Meri spent a whole episode making a bedroom for Robin's little girls at her house, and they were staying with her and one of the other littles (either Christine's or Janelle's girl in the same age range - they called them The Pixies because they were all close in age). If Robin had magically saved the older kids from abuse by Meri, I doubt she'd have allowed Meri to have the kids.
OR been around her or gotten close to her i call bs on that cuz he should have been spoke up why now she leave either for clout or money
This is all nonsense. It's all to make robin look good during this time that she looks bad.
Why after all these years would you want to burn the people by in your family.??? I see your dad has been very abusive to his wives for years because of mistreatment alienate them and make people feel bad. I'm sure because of the wives leaving proves the abuse from Kody. He has lied about a lot of things including taking their money.
This seems like damage control... with all the criticism towards Robyn and Kody, it wouldn't surprise me if he was asked to make these statements from his Dad. Throwing Meri under the bus days after the divorce to make him appear to be a victim. Just my opinion
💯
John Yates the blogger thank you for a great interview😊I really believed she was one of the good loving moms ,what a shocker ,,, the interview was three hours long so good it didn’t feel like it was that long ,Got to watch if you haven’t already , Paedon has a little dad and a little mom personality .❤
I had always thought that Meri was one of the good moms as well. Although for the past few months I've been hearing stories of how she can really be. I will definitely be checking this interview out for sure.
That's sad. But maybe she had to wear the pants. Why bring it up now? This sounds like one big mess. Like everyone is turning on each other. I feel bad for Meri
If your parents reside under the same roof as you and allow such behavior from a "sister wife" or others they're partly responsible for what happened to you. It shouldn't take "Robyn" or anyone else to point out apparent indiscretions toward children. Sorry, I don't buy it. This whole family has been deceptive. Cancel the show already.
I was always brought up with my parents who told me " if you don't have anything good to say,then don't say anything at all"!!....plus I think meri did get fed up with all of the children at times,and did shout at them because wouldn't you shout if you constantly had up to 18 children going In and out through your home all day!!...Point made!!!
He smiles when he talks about the way Meri acted towards him. He loves shock value. He loves all the media attention he's getting. He's loud he's obnoxious and not credible.
Like father like son sad for him tosay but always been nice around her
Janelle never disciplined because she was working. Christine never disciplined because she wants to be nice. It really leaves Meri and Kody. I don’t know.
dont seem to be no discipline then it goes back to on the show kody use to complain the boys dont wanna do nothing and the mothers a take up for them do he work? dont watch the show anymore but kinda sad to hear him say that yet the mothers never spoke up if true!
There’s a confessional where Janelle said Christine used to be more conservative and once sent one of her kids to his bedroom for the night when he said the f word and his siblings snuck him food like he was in jail. I think Christine raised the kids as a parent should. I think I trust gabes opinion the most. He seems the most real thought Christine did a good job parenting them.
I love Paedon’s honesty.❤
Why suddenly are you airing all your family dysfunction? So if your accusations are even true the other adults turn their heads. Shame on you deal with this privately.
Pardon, will say anything for attention. If Meri was that bad Christine would say so to protect her children. Pardon was not a stand out Brown child. He is now, with his shirts pointing at the wife he now says saved them, Please!
It just all seems scripted at this point. Robyn somehow opened people’s eyes about Meri. I don’t believe that they all knew how Meri was.I know Meri had her ways about her but she sure divorced kody so robyn and her kids could benefit. Robyn would have never done the same for another wife. But let’s not see how Robyn was shown favoritism repeatedly over the other wives and never worked or did anything but ended up in a house bigger than Janelle who should have had the house robyn lived in. Robyn is just more sneaky and comes off kind but behind the scenes she is manipulative and knows exactly what she is doing.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I absolutely agree!!! Can’t stand how it’s so oblivious to most people! Robyn has had a plan since day 1 and has succeeded The Master manipulator( Robyn) out played the manipulator( Meri)
Meri needed an ally in the family - hence Robyn. I don’t believe her divorcing Kody was altruistic. Robyn was indebted to Meri for “saving” her children. That’s what Meri needed to secure her position in the family.
Kody is more worried about the show it seems , his image, than relationships with his family.
I call BS on this. Meri worked so did Jannel and Kristine took care of the kids for the most part. What does this say about his own mother? She allowed it? BS! This kid reminds me so much of Cody in his looks, the way he speaks and in his mannerisms.
I really do think that Paedon is simply saying what his Father (cough, cough) wanted him to say so as to more of a bad light on Meri! This man is so arrogant and such a narcissist that I literally had to turn off the TV I was so angry! I mean "I don't care about love, it's the respect that's important to me"! You don't get the respect if you don't show any love! I would feel nothing but anger and disgust for a man who said he didn't want anything to do with her! Pardon, Grow up and be a man instead of slinging mud at Meri! Your Dad should have had ONE WIFE ONLY instead of having a few women and choosing one favorite out if all of them! Give M e a break!
Agree or disagree with me but this is really low on his part , to make Robyn less of a villain, I'm sure someone had to be the voice of discipline in a household that Large , I don't believe it all ok pic and choose what you will from this but shame on him for ruining Meri for her future moving on from this horrible trainwreck , Madea in Madea's family has a scene where the unruly boy's of the family were so bad he smacked the boy several times to control a child who was unruly all in the name of comedy , yet relatable , my feeling is he didn't like discipline that is obvious but to ruin someone's life for your own gain , and not just Meri TLC also , I hope after this TLC chooses to not go forward with any shows or spinoffs , to me he's been very negative and narcissistic all along now this attack towards Meri is blown out of proportion to glorify Robin . Smh ....
Exactly, I wouldn’t put it past Kody for him to “expose” this side of Meri and send his kid out to do it.
That boy also has it out for women period and minorities hint his raciest remarks.
The fact still stands if all the adults were in that house and no one stopped her from using a belt or switch or whatever (if it went too far like Christine said) Kody, Janelle, and Christine are still in the wrong for allowing their children to be in that space.
Shame on Meri for being such a mean-girl bully to J, Ch, and their kids.
AND for bringing Robyn into the family BEHIND the backs of J and Ch.
(While Ch was pregnant!)
Meri stews in a misery of her own making.
I remember an Episode were Gwendolyn and Ysebel went to spend the night with Meri.
Now, she was probably terrible to the older kids mainly the boys and Madison. I can’t see her being mean to Aspen (maybe Makelti) but I think Meri had her favorites. She praised Logan and she sat up front at his wedding.
Not giving Meri any grace but jealousy combined with frustration causes that type of behavior.
Janelle was at work. Christine doesn’t seem to be the type to discipline. I find it hard Kody didn’t know Meri was kicking ass in that house.
He did say Meri was only that way to a few of the kids.
Lmaoooo not kickin ass in the house
Well maybe the annoying ones she had to put in her place
Paedon is soooo real ! Love it 😊
He's very dramatic like his Dad! Lol
This makes all sense! Now I understand why Kody divorced her! And why she signed the papers so easy!
Ik also understand why Robyn never let her kids with Meri! And why Christine and Janelle move like best friends but don't even bother to talk to Meri!
She divorced him remember 🤣🤣🤣
You mean Robyn not leaving her kids with Meri, right????
@@clarazolud4835 Yes, I ment that! I never understood why none of other wives shared the childcare with Meri. Never understood why none asked Meri to help out with babysitting.. Now it makes sens why there is nanny!
@@reneegardner2286 Lol yeah, now we know why! I don't think she would ever had signed the papers if Kody and Robyn had nothing to hold against her! Remember they are very religious..
Now with these kids grown all the dirt is going to come out. Sad these things happen. What a nightmare these people are. Poor kids.
The worst part about this report is that TLC was fully knowledgeable of the child/wife abuse and did nothing, because $$$ are more important to the greedy Execs and producers of the show. SHAME!!
His as bitter as his mom,live meri alone
Someone had to make them behave, I bet he was a mean little scrapper!
Like her or not don't forget that she's the first wife and nice enough to accept others womens to share the husband with.
Maddy said the same years ago.
Interesting that he smiled when describing it. Pretty damaging statements and unsurprising to see people in the comments jumping on it like they know and are better.
Unsurprising to see some people in the comments outright reject what he said, like they know.
This guy is a clone of his father …. A mother isn’t always nice! The guy is a liar
This is the tell all we deserved. Thanks to pardon for being so open with his truth! I love all the brown kids so much.
He’s not honest he’s woke. The woke generation has been brainwashed to believe their parents are mean and hateful people. He even dislikes some of his siblings. His childhood pics looks like he’s a loud mouth trouble maker I can’t believe if he was abuse that he would not open his mouth about it like he’s doing now. He’s smiling while he’s saying he’s abused. Abused kids do not smile while they are telling you they were extremely abused. Being intolerant of loud mouth trouble maker kids is not abusive. Having kids not running through your house all day long is not abuse. Yeh she might have been intolerant or even mean by using harsh words but thats normal parent behavior with some kids. Some kids can be a handful I mean look at janelle she never wanted to be around her kids all day long she even admitted it. She said she’d rather work then be at home with the kids. So, whatever paedon says you need to take with a grain of salt because he’s exaggerating most of it
So what about your parents if these things happen why they didn’t do anything
I remember when they said they couldn't pass threw Meris house even tho she lived in the Middle . I bet Meri was the only disciplinary in the family. Butttt I also believe she was taken anger out on them bc she was Jelous of them
Im not shocked about meri being abusive she's always been awful or short to the other children specifically Christine, and janelle
I was a little caught off guard because the way she portrays herself in interviews. Makes me think she’s two faced😬
Christine's the abusive one for naming him Paedon 💀
I love Christine!
Idk I can see where she could definitely be “mean” or “abrasive”, but here’s the deal. If she truly physically abused any of those kids, and if Christine, for example knew about it and stayed, that’s messed up. Because Christine now says, Meri and her will not ever have a friendship, but she wishes her the best, etc. I can’t say I would be saying that about someone who was physically abusing my kids. So idk how much to believe about what he’s saying.
Cancel meri. I knew it . I think she took her problems out on kids facts.
Agree
Cancel the whole show. Stop promoting polygamy.
I have to wonder if this is just the latest episode of the “robyn is so perfect” campaign put out by the kody camp, since blaming “horrible” Christine didn’t work. we all know NO ONE is buying the it was my decision bs being put out from Meri and Kody’s joint statement
If you watch the interview, that’s the only thing nice he said about her.
Sounds more like just giving recognition to something positive someone did. He wasn't like "Oh my God, Robyn's the best...." All he said was he would never hate her because she opened people's eyes. He did NOT say he liked her. There's a difference.
He doesn't say anything nice about Robyn except that. He does not like her but he doesn't hate her
Sounds like a angry young man! I’m not convinced he knows what abuse is.?I can’t imagine the stress and pressure the adults were going through, publicly and privately. They’ve all said for a long time that they are entrepreneurs and they definitely know how to work social media. I don’t think we can trust that it any of this isn’t just a publicity stunt to increase revenue.
We will never understand what this family lived. I’m not passing judgement on anyone.
That generation feels like the have to shred their relationships with their parents in order to motivate them to start their own lives. 🤦🏻♀️
“Meri is NOT nice”
He looks exactly like his dad
Shame on you mary.

Why would Robin agree to be a surrogate for Meri if she was a. Hikd abuser
Oops child abuser
Love that he is saying nice words about Robyn. Finally someone who won't put her down.
🤣🤣🤣 He can't stand Robyn. You didn't see the shirt he had made and wore that said, " what does the nanny do?" He's gaslighting and trying to stay relevant and throwing everyone under the bus at different times and then saying he loves them at others. Remember, his own Mom kicked HIM out of the house for attacking his sister.
You missed the point he was making... He meant that if Robyn wouldn't have come into the family, his mother and the other wives would have never seen Kody and their toxic family for what it was "it opened many eyes", it awakened them to the truth.
Sick situation.
Robyn doesn't want Cody full-time! Who would w his arrogant ways?
It seems he is working for his father’s interests.
God didn't give meri more than one child for a reason.
I'm feeling like she took her frustrations out on Christine and Janelle's kids, sadly.
AND she was a horribly mean bully before she realized she'd have fertility issues.
There has to be some truth to it because none of those kids not even her own child deals with her and she is mean spirited.
Some of these comments- let me give you the perspective of someone who grew up in a strict religious church. My mom was part of a church, and the leaders were REALLY strict, the female one in particular. In church if my toddler sister was being noisy she would “help” my mom by taking her out of church into the back. My mom said later she was always suspicious that she was far too harsh with my baby sister, spanking her and speaking harshly and being rough. But my mom could never really prove it, and to bring allegations against a church leader is VERY SERIOUS. They can come back and say that you’re being spiteful, not using discipline in your household or basically punish you by making you “withdrawn from the church”. It’s like being shunned. My mom didn’t know what to do. Years later this woman was revealed by her step-children to have been horribly cruel and abusive, whipping them with switches across the backs of their legs and leaving bruises on their bodies. My mom is a good person and she felt such shame that as a young, overwhelmed mom who believed in what was right- she never spoke up. She always regretted not finding her voice.
I’m telling you, I think Meri was somewhat like that. It’s very telling that in a family that huge, almost nobody likes her or wants to talk to her anymore. Everyone has been hinting that she mistreated the children and other wives for years. I believe that She dislikes children in general but there’s a few she thought were okay, hers included. But even her own child doesn’t really have that close of a relationship with her. It’s because they know how cruel she can be. It’s why Janelle and Christine had so many issues with her. I believe she targeted the boys in particular, and was easier on the girls. Nowadays you just see her playing victim over and over, but her family doesn’t buy it. They’ve seen sides of her that we haven’t. It’s very telling that the children gravitate towards Janelle and Christine- but not Meri. Children never forget the ones who cause them pain. I know it in my heart, Meri isn’t who she pretends to be.
Whew he look like his daddy!!!
What’s going to come up next! Why was this never revealed. I’m no fan of Meri, but come on. With Christine’s big mouth, I’m sure she would have let this one be known.
Exactly...that's what is was thinking 🤔...also how the other adults let this keep happening and do nothing?!
Meri needs to come out of the closet.
Don't believe it for a minute! Mary is the only likable wife and Janelle can't stand Robin but Christine is the worst her with her leather pants please!
Ok robyn
This guy is just like his father. Don’t trust a word he says. Get your 15 minute of fame kid and move on.
But why is he smiling as he says this? Seems wierd to me but that's just me
I know women who are like this. They repress their emotions and take it out on defenseless little children. Cowards.
I wonder if Christine knew Meri was abusive towards them.
I 100% believe this. Meri has always been manipulative, conniving and sleazy. She didn’t want to be in a plural marriage - she wanted Kody, and he wanted one, so she went along with it and took it out on his children with his other wives. I hope she reaps every painful seed she’s sown. May she be miserable.
Now this comes out? Please fact check what he alledging
The nicest ppl have secrets. Stop using she’s too nice as a reason it didn’t happen. We don’t know. Only they do.
What a lovely guy paedon is, speaking the truth
This life style didn't do any good for these children. Also he reminds me of his father.
Did Meri also abuse her daughter? Or just everyone else’s children?
