As the latest teaser was released for the upcoming One-On-One special, Sister Wives fans are again questioning the Brown family’s financial decisions. As the cast reflected on season 20 with host Sukanya Krishnan, one of the conversations caught fans’ attention. In the teaser, Meri opened up about her not-so-great dynamic with Kody and Robyn. She even revealed the issues that she didn’t like.
This included the Brown family’s move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff. Meri was definitely emotional when she revealed that the proceeds from her Las Vegas house sale were later used to buy Robyn’s home, and she didn’t get to see it. Did Meri really walk away empty-handed after selling her Las Vegas home? And what does this say about Kody and Robyn’s role in the family finances? Keep reading to know more.
Sister Wives: Vegas Home Played A Major Role In The Family Shift
While Meri might be seeing Ron now, there was a time she was in the plans of the Brown family. When the show started, the Sister Wives family seemed to be financially stable enough that they could afford to move into their Las Vegas cul-de-sac in 2011. Each sister wife owned her own home, and Meri’s property was one of them. Her home included a wet bar, five bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms. The homes were later sold as they planned to relocate to Flagstaff. This happened in 2018, when the network reduced the show’s budget, and the family struggled to maintain their lifestyle without steady paychecks.
A few of Kody’s 18 kids, including Paedon and Gwen, later confirmed that the family decided to move because of financial difficulties. While Kody even considered Wyoming, Flagstaff became the final choice after Dayton enrolled at Northern Arizona University. Meri sold her Las Vegas home for nearly $575,000, even after renovation. Janelle and Christine also received something similar. Robyn’s home sold for over $600,000. Moreover, this wasn’t the first time Meri and Kody had fought about finances while selling a property.
Sister Wives: Meri Says Vegas House Sale Money Went To Robyn
During the One-On-One special teaser, Sister Wives star Meri addressed what happened behind the scenes after selling her Las Vegas house. She revealed that the money she expected from the sale never got to her. According to Meri, that money went to Robyn’s Flagstaff home, and she didn’t get any sort of funds from it. In the clip, Meri was accompanied by her best friend, Jenn.
She felt Kody could easily influence Robyn because she was submissive. And because of this dynamic, Kody was able to influence decisions, according to him, including taking Meri’s funds and putting them into his own house. After the clip was released, many fans started talking about it. They took to various social media platforms and chimed in with their comments.
Many fans were tired of seeing the same conflicts between Kody and Robyn and wanted them removed from the show. This was especially because Meri, Janelle, and Christine have moved on in their lives, and are doing other things. Many also felt Kody’s apology tour was fake and that he only did it to get views.
