Kody POINTS THE FINGER At Jenn! Says Meri’s BFF Interfered, Influenced Her, And Ultimately Drove His First Wife Away!
In a startling and characteristically dramatic move, Sister Wives patriarch Kody Brown is finally assigning blame for the collapse of his marriage to Meri Brown—and the target is not his own behavior. Kody is now publicly accusing Meri’s best friend, Jenn Sullivan, of interfering in their marriage, influencing Meri, and ultimately driving his first wife away from the Brown family forever!
The Scapegoat Emerges: Jenn Sullivan
The breakup between Kody and Meri was years in the making, marked by long periods of estrangement, emotional neglect, and a complete lack of intimacy. While fans widely attribute the failure to Kody’s controlling behavior and emotional withdrawal, Kody himself has a different narrative.
Sources close to the family and recent statements made by Kody (likely during an upcoming Tell-All or interview) confirm he views Jenn Sullivan, Meri’s fiercely loyal friend, confidante, and frequent travel companion, as the main destabilizing force.
“Kody genuinely believes that if Jenn hadn’t been in Meri’s ear, things might have been salvageable,” stated an insider. “He sees Jenn as the outside influence that convinced Meri she deserved more and encouraged her independence.”
Interference and Influence
Kody’s deep-seated resentment stems from the visible shift in Meri’s attitude and priorities following her strengthened bond with Jenn. For years, Meri desperately sought Kody’s approval. However, after aligning with Jenn, Meri began traveling, building her B&B business (Lizzie’s Heritage Inn), and creating a life that didn’t revolve around waiting for Kody.
Kody reportedly views Jenn’s support not as friendship, but as malicious interference. He claims Jenn’s influence corrupted Meri’s belief in plural marriage and fueled her desire for an independent, fulfilling life outside the strict confines of the Brown family structure.
The Ex-Wives’ Club Defense
This accusation against Jenn Sullivan aligns perfectly with Kody’s pattern of avoiding personal accountability. Instead of addressing his failure to maintain any physical or emotional relationship with Meri for over a decade, he casts an external figure as the villain.
Fans have pointed out the hypocrisy, noting that Meri was deeply unhappy long before her friendship with Jenn deepened. Christine Brown, Janelle Brown, and even Meri herself have all echoed the sentiment that Kody’s treatment—or lack thereof—was the primary driver of their departures.
The True Meaning of the Breakup
Kody’s public finger-pointing is seen by many as a final, desperate attempt to control the narrative surrounding his failed relationships. By blaming Jenn, he minimizes the painful reality: that Meri chose happiness, self-respect, and a supportive friendship over his toxic environment.
For Meri, Jenn Sullivan was not an interferer, but a source of strength and support that allowed her to finally recognize her self-worth and walk away. While Kody screams betrayal and external influence, Meri is simply thriving in a life built on her own terms, free from his emotional neglect.
