But, as fans have heard through the gossip grapevine, she was ultimately “catfished”-in other words, Meri built an online connection with someone she thought was, well, someone and they turned out to simply be luring her into a fantasy of a fictional online persona he (or she) had created”. Finally, in one of the most stunning and emotional twists ever on Sister Wives, Meri admits to her family that she’s been involved with a man online, but this person is not who she thought he was.

TV personalities Meri Brwon, Janelle Brown, Kody Brown, Christine Brown and Robyn Brown speak duinrg the “Sister Wives” panel during the Discovery Communications portion of the 2010 Summer TCA pres tour held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 6, 2010 in Beverly Hills, California. Meri, who is Kody’s first wife, voluntarily divorced the family patriarch so he could marry his fourth wife Robyn and adopt her three children from her previous marriage. “It would be a tribute to her, to let her know how important she still is”.
So, how will the Brown family-in particular husband Kody-take the news that his former legal wife has been emotionally cheating on him?
Meri added that she never met the person and regrets being drawn into the situation. “I don’t think anybody in my family can relate”. On tonight’s episode, the Browns are in Alaska doing activities such as dogsledding and deep-sea fishing, but a pregnant Robyn can’t stand the smell of raw fish.
Hollywood Life reported that Kody’s youngest wife and “Sister Wives” star Robyn allegedly knew that the affair was a case of “catfishing”, but chose to keep quiet about it.
During a dinner with Kody and her sister wives, Meri was nervous as she tried to explain why she’s been distant with her family members. She said that she pulled away from the family because she was afraid of what her online catfish would do to her and the family if she confronted the woman, since she felt threatened and targeted by the unknown person.
She however explains that in the aftermath of the revelation she is grateful that her family has remained by her side.

However, Meri didn’t act on those feelings, which is when her relationship with the Internet stranger became abusive. “Meri would love it if they name the baby after her, it would show her that they’ve truly forgiven her and maybe then she’d be able to forgive herself”, our source continued. We love you, the kids love you, this is where you shine.
