Sister Wives stars, Kody and Meri Brown have a new dynamic now that their marriage is over. During the latest episode, they seem to get along for the first time in many years. Was their scene an act just to bring in more money for the family through the show?

What Is Real?

During Sister Wives Season 19, there have been many speculations that scenes are being staged. For example, Robyn and Kody Brown fought in the driveway on the wintery day, the game night, and even rewritten history on their behalf. Likewise, fans have noticed choppy cuts to scenes with edits presumably about Garrison Brown. But after watching the latest episode, fans aren’t sure Kody and Meri Brown’s moving scene is real either. Undoubtedly, they previously sat down and tried to clear the air after Meri requested a release from the marriage. Then, they get together with Meri’s sister Rebekah Dilts, and her husband, Nathan Dilts.

Seemingly, their one disgruntled talk was followed by meeting up as amicable divorcees. They casually load her furniture to give to the Dilts and Meri is full of pep and newfound energy. Likewise, Kody chuckles and acts like he is hanging out with an old buddy. But fans notice somewhat of an aloof attitude that makes them wonder if it is all about the money.

Kody & Meri Brown Staged Scene, All For Money?

On Reddit, Sister Wives fans are suspecting that Kody and Meri Brown’s “moving” scene is a ruse. First, a user starts the conversation by saying, “Meri’s demeanor through this divorce.” Then, they add, “The way her and Kody are so casual around each other and almost acting like they don’t care, makes me think the divorce has been mutually agreed upon for years and they’ve been faking this relationship for the show/money. That’s why they’re so friendly being around each other.”

• Another fan says, “I think Meri shies away from conflict with Kody and her nervousness comes out through her laughter. Kody has been ‘faking’ it for years with her, but it’s been easy to let the relationship carry on as he never actually saw her or have her any answers.”

Other Fans Discuss The Relationship

After the initial post, several other Sister Wives fans talked about what they think of Kody and Meri Brown’s relationship.

• “Meri was just trying to play it cool. She’s devastated.”
• “I don’t think it’s been agreed for years but Meri did say that Kody ended the relationship fully sometime last season I think? And she wanted to be public about it but Kody refused.”
• “They’ve been bros for a long time.”
• “Meri wanted to publicly announce their split a couple of years ago. Kody said no, he didn’t want the backlash. I can’t remember what year that was. Anyone?”

• “I can still read hurt and upset in Meri’s emotions and way of speaking. She’s just not letting it get in the way of her moving forward. She’s tempering those emotions in order to work with Kody to get things finished up and finalized.”
