Kody didn't want Meri to have any power over him which in his mind gave him the need to completely obliterate the ring and give the components away to someone not in her blood line. He is an awful man/boy. Which of course certainly sounds to ME as though he was officially through with Meri for years before she finally got the message.

Mothra December 2, 2023 Share December 2, 2023 6 hours ago, Gramto6 said: You are spot on about Crybrows not accepting being a single parent. She should have seen how he acted before she had King Sol just looking at the other wives' situations. Even so she expected Kootie to be there every second she felt she needed him and everyone else be darned! And you're right that Crybrows not wanting to be a single parent, and that started me thinking about how she always goes on and on about having sister wives to rock on the porch with, and yet how she didn't get it that Kotex was giving her special treatment and the other wives were resentful. It occurred to me that Crybrows, when she's all gung-ho polygamy, imagines that all the sister-wives are as "hot" as she is and that Kotex is a sex slave to all of them, not just her. And because she came into this with this (hypothetical) idea of polygamy, it never occurred to her that Kotex *wasn't* treating the other wives the way he treated her, whenin fact the other wives were suffering because of what he was doing for her. I don't think this show is as scripted or as producer-driven as other shows I watch. I despise Kotex and to a lesser extent Crybrows, but I think what they reveal of themselves is genuine.

Kody is a disgusting POS, but I’m going to skip over that point for now to get to Meri’s reaction. Apparently she’s pissed at Christine for revealing something she claims is “her” business to tell, and when to tell it. (Meri dropped hints that she’s writing a book, so I’m convinced this is the real reason she’s mad - she wanted this juicy tidbit for her book). This is quintessential Meri - always hemming and hawing, always playing coy, hiding secrets, and writing cryptic posts.

Its just in the way she talks about and interacts with her own kids at times that gives me this feeling. She is now THE golden wife and I think its gone to her head.

Meow Mix December 3, 2023 Share December 3, 2023 Well the ring story certainly puts the lie to Kody and Crybrows claims that the divorce and legal marriage were just pieces of paper and not really significant. Clearly even before the catfish, Kody had a load of resentment toward Meri and had no problem doing something that cruel. As for Christine, if she has truly found the love of her life, she needs to just go off and be happy with that. Telling stories that are not hers to tell just because she wants to get back at someone else is not cool. I get it that Meri could be mean at times, but as others here have said, I'll bet Christine and Janelle both were not the innocent victims they are trying to portray themselves as now.

General Days December 4, 2023 Share December 4, 2023 Yesterday, hours ahead of the airing of Season 18 Episode 16, "One on One: Part 2," Gwendlyn did a three-hour live chat. It wasn't a live watch or recap of any episode, just a random chat with patrons. A couple of people asked her to characterize any abuse from Meri. Here is what she had to say. At the 2:44:03 mark, Gwendlyn read aloud a question from a patron: "was meri actually as abusive as janelle says" Gwendlyn's response: "I think it's up to interpretation. Not by your (sic) guys interpretation." [i.e. Gwendlyn's video audience] "I mean like it's up to the specific kid, and it's up to, you know, who says what. So, if Janelle thinks Meri was as abusive as she says, then I think, well, Janelle wasn't abused by Meri, and I don't think her kids had much of the brunt end of it." "But at the same time, when I say that, I'm erasing their experience. And Meri wasn't abusive with me. And I have a lot of good memories with her." "Like one time, she gave me this little blue stuffed bunny, and my mom ended up putting it in the washing machine. And then that night I woke up, and there were like four more — three or four more stuffed bunnies in the washing machine. And I woke up my mom, and I was like, 'Mom, the stuffed bunnies multiplied!'" "I know now that Meri snuck them into the washing machine, so I'd have a surprise when I woke up. But my mom, at the time, was like, 'Shut the fuck up, and go to bed'." "I — I have — I think Meri was I don't know — she was like more of a disciplinarian, whereas the other parents were like complacent, and they would let their sibl—their kids beat other kids." "And it turned, you know, Logan into a parent. And Meri knew how to be a parent. And the other three didn't, is I think what the thing was. The other...* Janelle, dad, my mom — yeah. Um, but that's just my perspective." Answer ends at 2:45:29 mark. [*Note: it was clear while watching that Gwen was counting making sure she meant 3 parents, in addition to Meri. The ellipsis above indicates Gwendlyn's pause as she double-checked her numbers in her head, but the entire statement is quoted.] At 2:46:57, after more chat about other subjects, Gwendlyn read aloud a question from a different patron: "Like what did Meri do that was SO bad that just a comment almost cancelled an entire season? TLC airs almost everything anyway. Wouldn't the truth be better than speculation?" Gwendlyn's response: "I agree that the truth is so much better than speculation, because what — like some of it wasn't amazing, but I feel like the truth is a lot better than speculation." "Like I absolutely agree — that like what she actually did is not as bad as what people think that she did. I think she was just a disciplinarian, when we didn't have one."

65mickey December 4, 2023 Share December 4, 2023 So basically Gwen is saying that Janelle and Christine let their kids run wild and rough house including hitting their siblings. Meri stepped and imposed discipline at times and Christine and Janelle didn't like this. So far no one has given a concrete example of what Meri did that was abusive. I get it that parents do not take kindly to another adult disciplining their children. But discipline and abuse are different. So far the only ones that I remember who have accused Meri of being abusive are Mykelti and Maddie.

In a different exchange, something came up about physical discipline from Kody. Gwen said that whoever used "paddling" about discipline from Kody just meant spanking. Gwen also said that while she considers spanking abuse, Kody never hit them with a paddle, or a belt, or anything like that. Gwendlyn then went on, however, to say (kind of off the cuff) that her brother (she didn't say his name, but it seemed clear to me she meant Paedon) used to grab a belt. He would force his sisters (I imagine this is about Gwen and Ysabel, and maybe Robyn's older girls, but Gwen didn't specify) to put their hands in it, then he would snap it. She said it hurt "so freaking bad and he never got in trouble for it either which was awful." Does anyone remember the couch segment with Aspyn and Mykelti? It was either from when they were moving in with each other, or moving out of their shared apartment. They talked about their physical battles, and that (at least) one time when they were fighting, they threw knives at each other. Talk about "not safe." 9 minutes ago, ginger90 said: What Gwen said makes sense. As an aside, why are people stating as fact that Meri is writing a book? Sorry. I didn't see this before. I feel like this is one of those conclusions the fandom leaps to, based on a possible pointer, rather than hard evidence. Almost a year ago, Meri made some Instagram post about how every story has two sides, and how there is so much more to the story. In the picture of her, she's holding a book.

"I know now that Meri snuck them into the washing machine, so I'd have a surprise when I woke up. But my mom, at the time, was like, 'Shut the fuck up, and go to bed'."

Gramto6 December 4, 2023 Share December 4, 2023 I kind of hope it is true. If Meri publishes a book and the other 2OG see $$ coming in from it, they would probably write their own books to get some $$ too. We might actually then be able to piece together more truths than they will ever share on the TV show. 6 1 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144300-spoiler-speculation-and-social-media/page/98/#findComment-8230085
ladyscorpio December 4, 2023 Share December 4, 2023 1 hour ago, 65mickey said: So basically Gwen is saying that Janelle and Christine let their kids run wild and rough house including hitting their siblings. Meri stepped and imposed discipline at times and Christine and Janelle didn't like this. So far no one has given a concrete example of what Meri did that was abusive. I get it that parents do not take kindly to another adult disciplining their children. But discipline and abuse are different. So far the only ones that I remember who have accused Meri of being abusive are Mykelti and Maddie. And I don't believe much of the BS that come from Mykelti. I never believed that Meri was physically abusive towards any of the kids. Over the seasons I've seen her be loving towards the kids and for Christmas every year, she would give each of them pajamas. I think Janelle and Christine were way more passive with the way they raise their kids. I could totally see all the kids running around, being wild and loud and those two tuning it out because they're used to having alot of kids around. Meri only has one, so it probably bothered her more when all the chaos was happening (not enough for her to be abusive) but I can see her trying to calm things down and stopping fights from happening. 19 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144300-spoiler-speculation-and-social-media/page/98/#findComment-8230090
xwordfanatik December 4, 2023 Share December 4, 2023 Meri has enough sycophants that will keep her sitting financially pretty for years. A book would be icing on the cake. I doubt she'd fess up truthfully anything to do with the catfish. She wants the sympathy of her army of skanks. 2 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144300-spoiler-speculation-and-social-media/page/98/#findComment-8230092
Rabbit Hutch December 4, 2023 Share December 4, 2023 Question for the board: Had anyone else noticed that during the flashback sequences on the tell-alls, when Suki is questioning Kootie while he's watching these sometimes emotional scenes that he rarely blinks? The others, especially during the emotional scenes will blink, make faces, or even turn away. It ooks me out, TBH. I have an emotional reaction on behalf of these folks, and I'm not even family.

Gramto6 December 4, 2023 Share December 4, 2023 (edited) Yes to probably Botox, but I also think he has been coached by Crybrows to show no emotions when others talk. Or he is just so incredulous that anyone could say anything bad about HIM that he just blankly stares. And yes, creepy as heck!

Wow. Sounds like a Barnum style marketing line for those "suckers" born every minute. I'm sure Kody feels so very strong with his $jewels$ on while sh*tting on the family he pretended to love for so very long. I'm sure he was quite the sucker in the gallery of the surreal paintings thinking his grand investment was comparable to a Picasso or Monet and would make everyone think he was a grand deep thinker for having surreal paintings to look at. At least the frames should hold value. 4 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144300-spoiler-speculation-and-social-media/page/98/#findComment-8230276
