This is the person she tagged:

I feel like I’ve posted about her previously:

My my my, me me me, I I I. I’d have supportive vibes for Meri if she weren’t ripping off lord knows how many “down lines” and customers with expensive, cheap-ass, ethically questionable clothes. 

“Books and soul-searching”: Certainly not the kind that cares about anyone else. Many LuLaNO clothes are made in countries that exploit workers so they can be produced cheaply—Meri’s “soul searching” is only about her bank account, not those people—or anyone besides HERSELF.

Meri may be middle age, but she is emotionally under-developed. She wants love and happiness, but is incapable of thinking about anyone but herself. It’s always about *her*. She will always be alone, except for a few fake friends here and there who benefit from one another.

No one is forcing anyone to sell lularoe. People chose that themselves. If they are dumb enough to buy into the scheme… I don’t feel sorry for them. 

Do the research. If it’s too good to be true it probably is.

#lovewhoiam yeah right. 

Post real pics of your self… or get plastic surgery to match the filtered to death face.

See I disagree here a little bit—there are some people who might be a bit gullible and more susceptible to the form of bullying that comes along with MLMs—“you need to do this now, beg and borrow if you must, you’ll never do it unless you do it now”………..on and on. It’s like when politicians lie yet people still vote for them. 

It almost happened to me with a MLM (Rodan +  Fields). The nagging was relentless. I love the products, but discovered I am not good at selling because I have autism and am bad at “hustling”. I don’t want to. I almost let myself get talked into it just to get her off my back, but I’d developed a little more inner strength and actually stopped buying the product for a time. Guess what—I haven’t heard from her in years. All I was to her—someone I once worked with—was a potential down line. Now younger me might have fallen for this, but older me put her foot down. My autism definitely made me gullible when I was younger.

A “friend “ was bothering  me daily for months to buy her mlm product. I refused. She no longer responds to my texts. Haha bye “friend”.

On top of this, MLMs prey on "girlbossing" women who otherwise would be beholden to their men for financial security. They target women who stay at home to parent their kids, women who under-earn, women who for whatever reason live in traditional households where men are providers and women are carers. They give the illusion of financial security, of being an equal provider to the household (as if all the housework, emotional labor and executive functions of running a household that women perform are null), and LLR is especially insidious because they've tapped into the "retire your husband" rhetoric and gotten the husbands to quit their jobs to join the cult as well, thus destroying TWO potential income streams and continuing to line the founders' pockets.

And don't get me started on the ouroboros of Mormon women cannibalizing each other with these things. 

It's great when people have the healthy skepticism and willpower to say no to these scammers, but otherwise smart people (and plenty of dumb ones too) get scammed all the time.

[LilyD]

Testing through the brain root canal? Did she really just say that?? Jeez… that’s what little kids wonder about (poking your brains with the stick) when they’re being tested, not adults! 
And then later on, she’s like “yeah I know those don’t really go into your brains” So, I’m guessing a producer pointed this out to her…

Why does Meri insist on wearing sprayed-on clothes that accentuate every lump, bump, and bulge?  Just what no one needs - a "fashion consultant" that doesn't have a clue what looks hideous.

I think she thinks if she can squeeze herself into a smaller size that’s her size. She refuses to acknowledge that she needs 2x not a Large. 

I don’t know how she sits down or breaths haha

It’s hideous and unflattering—how does she sell those clothes after people see her in them?  It’s like she’s trying to look terrible on purpose. 

And she could dress just fine for her size if she’d stop wearing LuLaNo. A high-end pair of slacks and a blazer for her body type would look really nice, but no—it’s gotta be LuLaNo, clothes that only look good on stickwomen or very fit women.

Those windbreakers she wears are a terrible choice for her.  They end at her waist, accenting the girth of her hips.  The brown pleather one is the worst, she seems very fond of it and wears it with colors that do not blend with it at all.

I guess in Meri's world, royal blue with brown is edgy.

I'm not so sure she should be proud of where her past brought her;  she is the estranged, divorced, pitiful woman begging for scraps from her dismissive ex.  She's a joke to anyone with half a brain.  Only her equally pea-brained sycophants belleves that crap.

"Boss up"? "This shit is personal"????

More "tough talk" from the Queen of crumpling up in tears.

Christine dumped her waste of skin husband who does not value her. It hurt, and I'm sure it was terrifying at times, but she finally said,  "I'm worth more than this. You can't treat me like this anymore." and did something about it.

There was no handsome millionaire, REAL OR IMAGINED, to rescue her. She did it on her own.

Christine is the real "Strong Woman/Boss Babe/Loving Herself" person you pathetically pretend to be while hiding behind your social media account, Meri.

And she did it all without your support, because you told her she should look at the mountains, and buy into Sunk Cost Fallacy.

So sit the fuck down.

[OliversMom]

Meri’s phony ‘boss lady’ crap is so full of it.
As she says in that clip, she and Christine have different ‘values’.  
 

Damn right they do, Christine clearly values herself and Meri does not.   

[SunnyBeBe]

Maybe, Meri is on this self care tangent in an attempt to stay sane.  I don’t know her true mindset, but I thought the key to happiness is to help the less fortunate.  Like the Bible teaches us to care for the orphans and widows, (James 1:27) and be grateful for what blessings you have. It makes you feel good to help others.  Tooting your own horn rarely impresses others.  Of course, perhaps she’s helping others behind the scenes.

That's probably a very big perhaps. Meri posts every vapid thought on social media along with her horribly altered pictures. I somehow cannot see her practicing any kind of largesse without a big brass band announcing it.

Yeah I doubt it also. To Meri, it seems building an empire of poorly made, ethically questionable clothes is how she views success and happiness.

I wonder how she’s gonna feel after hearing Kody’s full interview tonight and what the next few days will bring meme-wise from Meri. 

[SunnyBeBe]

So, she isn’t aware of what Kody said said in tell all tonight?

Oftentimes on these shows, what’s said in separate interviews/talking heads isn’t known to the others until it airs (besides clips that are teasers). 

Edited to add: What I got from the clip of Kody’s interview is that what he’s giving Meri wouldn’t be enough for “anyone”, but she’s choosing it. That like saying, ok stay, but know you’re getting the scrapings off the dinner plate (before it goes into the dishwasher) to sustain you and you won’t get anything else. 

If Meri still chooses that after hearing everything Kody has to say about her, she’s an idiot for staying.

Probably the result of filtering.  When she elongates her face to remove jowls, her eyebrows move up?

She will admit to being so sensitive that she builds up walls, though. She’s very proud of that fact. Lol

Meri's choice of clothes for this can't be doing anything for her LLR sales!!!    Those pants!   Are those denim leggings.  On the upside if they are LLR, those leggings can really take a stretch.

I especially like the "narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view" - posted by a moron who, despite being clubbed over the head repeatedly with the "I don't want anything to do with you, bitch" stick continues to hope for some sort of reconciliation with the Charles Manson clone.

I don't know who Meri thinks she is fooling with these posts. Either she is delusional or she is trying to gaslight the viewers or both. She's an idiot or she thinks her "fans" are.

Look, I don't really blame Meri for looking elsewhere for some attention and affection--I can't stand Kodouche --but just come out and say why and admit that she should have been upfront to Kody about wanting to leave the spiritual "marriage."

To the family, I assume the ultimate insult was when she tried to turn the narrative to 'saving the family' from some mysterious threat made by the catfisher, making herself a hero. 

If threats were made, that was the time to come clean to the family and possibly get law enforcement involved.  Instead, she would have the family (and viewers) believe that she only went along to get along.  If the threats were real, where and how did she think it could possibly end?

Good thing she doesn't add #SmartWoman as one of her hashtags.

[Stefphill]

Have you noticed Meri gets super loud when she’s being questioned about something and she’s lying?  It’s like a ‘tell’ she has.  In the tell-all interview she gets sort of loud when the interviewer asks her about the catfishing, etc.  I’ve noticed her get that way in confrontations with her sister wives too

[LilyD]

As for us speculating where it all started to go downhill with Meri and Kody, here's my take:

1. I'm sure they were perfectly fine and happily in love the first few years. In the book, you can read all about their marital bliss. Meri was all for polygamy. Even more so than Kody. She really, really wanted sister wives so Kody got them. But then, his sweet polygamy-ambitious young wife turned into a harpy then into a full-blown head bitch, then into a dissatisfied , grumpy whiny adulterous witch, who seemed totally unhappy sharing her husband, despised her sister wives and was bothered by noisy kids running around her apartment.

Kody is all about ME but even he must have noticed Meri's negative influence on the family. And he also admitted more than once that he was fed up with her constant complaining and making a fuss over nothing. He went to Christine to be cheered up and be happy and to Janelle to wind down. Meri was always trouble and negativity. His future with her turned out to be nothing like she had told him. Which is what he probably means with being deceived. And then there was the catfish...

2. Also, Meri was only able to give him one daughter. Kody was always pushing for more kids, despite already having 13 at the time. Kody sees babies as assets, as proof of his manhood and success as a husband. Meri should have been 1 of 3, birthing 6. I'm convinced Kody held this against Meri too, there was after all nothing wrong with his ability to father kids. In his mind, his young Mare Meri failed him in every possible way.

I guess Janelle was being "narrow minded" when as a newly initiated member of the household, she felt uncomfortable watching Meri and Kody get all snuggly under a blanket mere feet from her in the living room.

[TurtlePower]

Another quote from a meme Meri shared that I missed somehow: “People who are not happy with themselves cannot possibly be happy with  you”. 

It sounds like Meri is looking for some kind of hope that Kody is just unhappy—and that makes him unhappy with Meri and that if he becomes happier, he will like her enough to have a relationship with her. She really is delusional. Kody hates her, you can see it in his eyes but he won’t force her to leave. And she thinks there’s hope? Or is it a generalisation? 

What a bullshit fucking statement anyways!  I have often been unhappy with myself and not used it as a reason to be unhappy with others—but I’m also more candid about where my self-esteem is at. 

Maybe YOU are the reason someone is unhappy with you, Meri, and maybe there’s nothing you can do about it except work on yourself and your future.
