In a heated confrontation during the latest episode of Sister Wives, Kody Brown unleashed his frustrations on his first wife, Meri Brown, after she announced her decision to officially end their spiritual marriage. The October 20th episode showcased the tensions that have been brewing for years as Kody placed the blame for their relationship’s collapse squarely on Meri and other women in his life.

During their intense discussion, Meri revealed that she received a call from the church confirming her release from their spiritual marriage due to abandonment. Kody vehemently disagreed, stating, “I don’t believe that’s true at all. She was never abandoned. He knew it was happening; he could have been involved.”

As the conversation escalated, Kody’s frustration boiled over. “Well, don’t blame me for not loving you! I was doing my duty. Blame yourself if I don’t love you!” he declared, suggesting that any lack of love was Meri’s responsibility. He further emphasized, “When I’m in love with a woman, that’s her fault,” revealing his contentious views on their failing relationship.

Meri, who has faced years of estrangement from Kody, pushed back against his claims, reminding him of their long and painful history together. “I married you in 1990 because I was committed to it and I loved you,” she retorted, expressing her hurt over Kody’s harsh words.

The emotional exchange highlighted the struggles within the Brown family, with Meri admitting, “I know damn well that I don’t want to be in this relationship.” Kody’s outburst marked a significant turning point in their tumultuous journey, as both grapple with the realities of their breakup.

Sister Wives continues to air Sundays at 10 p.m. Eastern on TLC, capturing the complex dynamics and emotional turmoil of the Brown family.
