I think it might be hazardous to the well-being of both Leon and Audrey to appear on the show. Yes, honestly at least point it seems hazardous (mentally stressful)to the well-being of everyone to appear on this show. This show has really gone off the rails the last couple of years. As far as Meri, it seems she is supportive of Leon, but any kind of extended filming of their relationship would probably be stressful. Meri’s relationship with her kid always seemed like it was walking on eggshells since the catfish scenario. I do think Meri loves Leon, but it seems like she hesitates because she thinks she will say the wrong thing. Leon seems to be on their own journey and filming would likely be messy because the show is focused on ratings not people’s well-being.

I wouldn't want them to put themselves in a hazardous situation either, but I can't think how it could be hazardous. They've already announced their transition publicly. Leon doesn't post much on Insta. Don't know about Tiktok. But appearing on the show, which has been pulling in a large audience lately, would mean drawing more attention to themselves, which could impact their safety. We all live in a dangerous world, but even moreso for trans people.

I'm also interested to see where Meri's relationship with Leon stands now. I'd also like them to pick up the storyline regarding Leon and Audrey's wedding which they abandoned when covid hit. I think that these topics related to Meri are much more interesting than yet another season about her estrangement from Kody and the rest of the family. According to Gwen's patreon most of the family has been supportive of Leon but she does not know about Kody for sure. She said -> direct quote -> "Meri has been the most supportive." So I am guessing that means they are good with each other. I am guessing this will not be covered on TLC. If rumors are correct, Leon is pursuing their doctorate. I can't imagine they'd have time to do this on TLC. I think they've moved away from the show - much like Logan. That's just a guess. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/324/#findComment-7847843

I don't think Meri gives much deep thought to anything if it doesn't effect her directly, she might have noticed it and just dismissed it as not important enough to worry about it like when she met up to have a serious conversation with Janelle about how she treated her in the past wearing a t-shirt that said "Only kinda care" .... wtf.. Who does that? She's proved more than once to be a rather selfish and childish individual, when it concerns Meri's feelings it's a BIG DILL but if it concerns others "feelings" she's not that interested. Although I've tried to block it from my memory didn't Meri drag Leon to Disneyland to meet her online/phone diddle partner Sam Cooper? She also insisted that the other family members meet victims of JO to prove how Meri was just another innocent victim, nobody wanted to meet them but Meri wouldn't let go, she was like a dog with a bone as she pushed Leon into that situation as well... poor Leon sat there looking like they'd rather be anywhere else on earth than listening to this BS story again.

I definitely buy it, I’ve seen one kid out of a whole family targeted (in my LEO days). it raises my suspicion anyways, I’d be interviewing the heck out of lots of people to determine what’s what. Looking for changing stories. Remember Meri tried to lie her way out of the catfish situation by begging Leon to see she was victimised when Leon was witness to the whole thing. Meri is shady and will deflect. Just my opinion having dealt with emotional and physical child abusers. The best thing the kids could do, if this is true and they want it heard, is allow themselves to be interviewed by a professional who will press them for details. Right now I see it as a possibility. families as big as this one certainly have alliances and weird micro-dynamics. 8 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/324/#findComment-7852233

Of course they haven't. They haven't even expressed an opinion. But that's not what you'd believe from reading this; it's an excellent example of the worst of the internet. But before I unload, here's a link to the site in the internet archive, which might keep them from getting a click they most certainly don't deserve. https://web.archive.org/web/20230124160558/https://allaboutthetea.com/2023/01/24/meri-brown-slammed-for-overcharging-stays-at-rundown-bb-amid-travel-scam-allegations/ The slamming she's getting for overcharging? It's from random people who think she's charging too much for what they consider crappy accommodations. The FTC doesn't give a shit, and there's no law that says people can't offer crappy accommodations, even at high prices. The travel scam allegations? There aren't any. The article says this: “According to the Federal Trade Commission, Meri Brown’s refusal to provide details about the location of the accommodations for guests, an itinerary, menu and details of the package prior to purchase is a designated travel scam. The FTC requires that travel packages and retreats include details about the package, including the address and location of the accommodations where the guest will stay.” That "According to the Federal Trade Commission" is bullshit. All of the information about what they're saying the FTC "requires" comes from the FTC's site telling people how to spot travel scams. https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/avoid-scams-when-you-travel The most the article should say is that Meri is doing things that appear to match warnings by the FTC, but even that's not true. Meri isn't doing a single thing that the FTC's site says is a warning of a scam. The main scam the FTC warns about (other than offers of free travel, which this certainly isn't) is people selling accommodations that don't actually exist, or that they don't have a right to sell--where you buy something and don't get anything in return. And that's why they warn about this: "Scammers don't give specific details about the travel offer. The offer says you’ll stay at a 'five-star' resort or go on a 'luxury' cruise ship. But if the organizer can’t or won’t give you more specific details, like the address of the hotel or the cruise company's name, walk away." And the allaboutthetea site even quotes that. But it has nothing to do with Meri's offering. The accommodations exist, and the address is known, and there are even pictures all over the place. But the article goes further, and implies the FTC has a problem with Meri's failure to provide a menu or itinerary. First of all, it doesn't. But second, where do they even get the idea a travel package seller has to provide a menu or itinerary? It's certainly not on the FTC's travel scam warning site. So I did a google verbatim search for the word "itinerary" on the FTC's consumer website, and none of the results say anything about travel package sellers providing an itinerary. Take a look for yourself: Google Verbatim search I did the same thing for "menu," but almost every website has the word "menu" on every page. And in my experience it's much more common for "meals included" travel packages NOT to include every menu, so no way am I going to waste time trying to establish that the FTC doesn't require them to do so. God, I'm so sick of these websites that don't have actual facts but make it look like they do. These people are obviously clever writers; I guess they choose to do what they do because it pays well, but it's a massive disservice to the truth. Kudos to them for their last line: Quote Meri reportedly declined to offer more retreat details on social media—but may be forced to address allegations that accuse the TLC star of scamming the public. What a fucking masterpiece.

None of these people are paragons of virtue, not even Meri. Meri’s done plenty of sneaky shitty things over the years, she schemed with Robyn and Kody when Christine was pregnant with Truely and she loved every minute of Christine’s suffering when Kody bounced out the door on his honeymoon with his cute new young wife, meanwhile Christine had a newborn baby and no husband to help or comfort her. Meri has a mean streak in her and she enjoys inflicting it on others…. She’s also a bully and like most bullies she’s also a coward….

TurtlePower February 2, 2023 Share February 2, 2023 Found Gwen’s statement about how Meri was handling the abuse accusations: When asked how Meri reacted to the claims, Gwen–- who spoke out after Paedon’s interview–- implied that Meri is accepting the blame for her past actions. “The first thing [Meri] did when she saw [the allegations] was call me and ask how *I* was doing and she’s been the only one to ask me about my experience with abuse,” Gwen said. “So at this point, I think she has chosen to allow people to be upset with her.” https://www.theashleysrealityroundup.com/2023/01/31/gwendlyn-brown-reveals-how-her-family-reacted-to-sibling-leons-transition-how-meri-brown-reacted-to-recent-abuse-claims/ 1 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/324/#findComment-7854126

Here is what has been said so far: Maddie's tweet sent after a work related incident - deleted quickly: "abusive monster" Paedon: "Meri was beyond abrasive." "Beyond verbal." "Robyn saved our lives." "Robyn recognized the signs of what was happening" Mykelti: "I do not recall Meri being physically abusive. I did suffer emotional and verbal abuse." And out of all the kids, "I got the worst of what she gave." Gwen: "Meri could be scary." "I saw Meri get physical with Mykelti one time." (she also used the word "violent one time" but it was not specified if it was toward anyone). She believes Mykelti's experience. However, she never experienced any abuse herself - except from Paedon and Kody. Gwen has a good relationship with Meri now. She said she believes Paedon intentionally implied "physical abuse, but it was not physical with Meri - especially compared to Paedon and my dad." Ysabel: " I was close with Meri when I was younger. I called her Marmi. But we haven't talked in a long time."

This show has really gone off the rails the last couple of years. As far as Meri, it seems she is supportive of Leon, but any kind of extended filming of their relationship would probably be stressful. Meri’s relationship with her kid always seemed like it was walking on eggshells since the catfish scenario. I do think Meri loves Leon, but it seems like she hesitates because she thinks she will say the wrong thing. Leon seems to be on their own journey and filming would likely be messy because the show is focused on ratings not people’s well-being. Meri has no choice but to be supportive of Leon if they want to be in their life. My abiding thoughts throughout watching sister wives is that Meri loves, wants and needs Leon far more than Leon loves, wants and needs Meri. Leon can pick and choose which parent and siblings that they want in their life as they have numerous options. Meri really just has Leon in terms of blood ties and options in relationships. Meri can be low key friends with Robyn and her kids but that's not the close relationship that Meri desperately needs. Meri has one biological kid, she can't risk losing them. Leon was suffocated by Meris love and needs and has the upper hand in their relationship and Leon knows that. 15 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/324/#findComment-7856508

Sadly, it makes sense that Christine's "basement wife" status also included her children. Kody largely ignored Christine's kids, giving Meri implied permission to bully them, IMO. I can't picture Meri picking on Logan or Hunter any more than I can picture her doing it to Sol or Ari. Meri likely chose her targets amongst the people she didn't think would fight back or damage her HBIC reputation. Perfect observation. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/324/#findComment-7857608
dariafan February 9, 2023 Share February 9, 2023 Meri and kootie are too much alike. They both want the accolades and the “ thing “ ( respect. Kids wanting to be around them.

TurtlePower February 10, 2023 Share February 10, 2023 (edited) And here’s Meri, doing “whatever the hell” she wants — brash, braggy, unlikable and over-confident as always: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/sister-wives-meri-brown-doing-132738295.html Annnd I think in the video link she’s below Hoover Dam/Willow Beach (part of Lake Mead) doing a kayak trip. I used to patrol there. I always wondered if I’d see any of the Browns down there, missed it by a few years. Kinda glad I missed this one (my eyes woulda been rolling behind my ever-present sunglasses).

LilyD February 10, 2023 Share February 10, 2023 Just needed a little laugh and went through all your posts on Meri’s “luxurious” holiday. Quite funny to see how everything was dissected😁. It also made me realise that no one commented on the big difference between the 4,000 and 6,000 package. (As far as I’m aware….) And that’s quite funny considering all the posts on the inn! So the 4,000 package entitles you to a stay near the inn, whereas the 6,000 package lets you stay at the inn itself. Based on all your reviews, I’d not hesitate to opt for the “cheaper” package as it very likely gives you better accomodation! (If I was forced to go of course😉) 1 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/324/#findComment-7865022

A transitioning grown child SHOULD be interesting in their conservative faith, etc., but Leon is so hipster pretentious that I can’t even try to want to watch them snarl and snark about how no one gets them and how enlightened they are. I’d feel this way if Leon were straight/cis/non-transitioned/whatever terminology we need. That kid is obnoxious. I agree. I empathize with Leon re: catfish blablabla, but I never cared for Leon's attitude. I like Audrey better! 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/324/#findComment-7869957
