Sister Wives: Paedon Brown Seemingly Accuses Meri of Child Abuse

[@nightingalesastra5451]

We couldn't get a better show than Sister Wives to show the world that polygamy never works and it is the children that always suffer.

[@Kelly-mi1yz]

What a great opening statement to a trial about abuse in polygamy.! You should be a lawyer or a teacher

[@loril6437]

Kids are resilient: they are going to college and have mom's that love and support them. So you basically are wrong. 😣

[@nightingalesastra5451]

@@loril6437 So we have to be happy that the children developed the resilience to overcome the challenges and abuse that they suffered? Why not think that no child should ever have to go through that? Maddi lived in fear of Meri during her ENTIRE childhood. Paedon still speaks emotionally of the situation although he is grown and far removed from the situation.... He said Robyn SAVED THE KIDS LIVES. Nobody should ever have to live with that fear. The kids are resilient but they should never have been exposed to such horrible situations.

[@melissaarispe1551]

Amen and thank you.I can't believe I ever watched that show.like who really wants to live like that.I am truthfully sad for all of them.I hope they all find a better life because they all seem not so happy anymore.life seems perfect when your young lol.As we age we realize how dysfunctional this world really is ..God bless them though.Hope they truly find happiness.

[@Teenywing]

These people were not polygamists since before starting on tv and you never ever saw them living that way. They tried to copy another show (Big Love) - just a garish unattractive version of it and failed miserably. If you aren’t yourself a polygamist you don’t know. I say this with actual experience.

[@JoAnnEarnest-q1t]

What the son neglected to say was that he has actually put his hands on 1 or more of his own sisters and theres reasons y he and his mom go without speaking at times......but Meri is always the bad guy to them. Yeah yeah

[@heyman4590]

And? My brother's are all older than me and we all fought as kids. It's what siblings do. We fought tremendously harshly too, parents definitely disciplined us when it got out of hand, otherwise we'd just get told off and/or threatened to be starved for the night. To me this is all normal behaviour- I have 5 older brother and 2 younger sisters. My oldest brother is now 42 and youngest sister is to be 25 in April. ***I am the oldest girl-30 in May.

[@Neekalatti776]

Everyone is talk about how terrible Mary was but I quite honestly feel bad for her. Christine exaggerates alll the time and and I think her son is too. There is a difference between getting a spanking and being abused…. They are not interchangeable.

Spanking a child is HITTING a person. Do not diminish the assault.

right im still waiting on her lil tea cuz she not perfect either how is it she marry and come back to a show if the baby daddy was so bad oh he this he that but made sure you went back if it was moving on and up why come back whether any of them wanna hate they cant say meri aint help and put her money on they kids and that family i think its sad very sad she sacrificed a lot for them and that man including a marriage

[@VHEmpress]

I remember one scene where Robyn and Kody wouldn't let their son go with Meri. Now I know the real reason why.

[@lundenhouchins1585]

Yes!!! That scene was the first thing that came to my mind!

[@kailynbrennan1412]

I think I know the scene you’re referring to, and no they didn’t allow Solomon to go because he was going through a clingy phase with his parents. They did say Breanna was free to go. If she was really as awful as Padeon is implying, they wouldn’t have let ANY of the children go with her. I think Paedon is coloring the truth a bit here

[@vickikunetka1111]

I’m convinced that the divorce from Meri was NEVER Meri’s idea. Kody convinced her to put it that way so it would appear to the public to be Meri’s willing sacrifice and suggestion for the sake of Robyn’s kids. But… I’m not buying it. This was ALL Kody’s idea to deepen his commitment to Robyn while quietly squeezing Meri out. He never forgave her for the catfish incident, even though he’s the one who created the emotional vacuum in Meri’s life which caused to to seek affirmation elsewhere. Ever since then, she’s been sticking it out to get back in Kody’s good graces, but he’s only been using her for the sake of the TLC income. She’s been sticking around because she knows she can’t make it on her own.

[@stephaniemomma]

I mean good, right? This changes everything. Kody squeezed out somebody who was actively going to merk a few of his kids via abu$3z. As much as a home wrecker Robyn is, she saved Paedon and Maddie’s lives. I’m glad meri was squeezed out, but I do think Kody should have officially left the child abu$3r rather than trying to ice her out to leave on her own. And your time line is off. Kody couldn’t have been holding a grudge for the catfish at the time of the divorce, because it hadn’t happened yet.

[@lisaschreiber2893]

yeah, I have to wonder if this is just another segment of robyn’s an angel, the other wives were horrible monsters campaign. was this the child who told Kody Christine was bad mouthing him?

[@juliesmith7383]

I think Kody quit loving meri because Robyn brought the child abuse of his kids to light. It sounds like it was really bad. That also shows why Robyn and Kody refused to let meri take their small kids to the B&B alone. Maybe? I don’t know but she always has a scowl on her face during the interviews and family time.

[@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis]

She said for a long time that she felt like she didn’t have a voice, that she was a basement wife, that her kids “needs” came last. I think she felt helpless in the situation and regrets that she didn’t speak up for her children more. That’s why now she says she won’t have a relationship with Meri going forward.

[@deee3950]

@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesisif you watch Christine’s first season, she very much says that she chose to be the only mom and what she thought was the last wife. She wanted to be indispensable. Christine also said that Janelle was more interested in working. We saw Janelle not parent. She worked until 8pm and was gone before the kids woke up. So… I don’t know. We saw that Meri had a great relationship with Christine’s younger kids and Christine wasn’t happy about it. It was suggested by Kody that Christine’s 2 daughters live with Meri when they lived in LV and the girls were happy about it. So… I don’t know.

[@deee3950]

@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis- and I think that we forget how selfish Christine was in the beginning. She was pretty conniving and she guessed very wrongly that Kody would like her more IF she was young and took care of the kids. But, Kody was finding wives to ease Meri’s pain and depression around not being able to have more babies. So, I don’t think “the kids” should really be talking. I don’t think they can grasp the idea of depression and this was before infertility treatments and invitro. This is something that they couldn’t have afforded back then. Christine realized how much peace she had when they lived separately and then she got upset about Robyn and was unable to recover. Meri was Kody’s love match. He replaced her with Robyn. Everyone else was brought on to help Meri/Robin. So… yea. I think that’s not how someone should find wives.

Sounds like Meri is being the sacrificial lamb. She clearly went against Meri and Robyn so he’s out to destroy her reputation by bringing up her past abuse. Let’s call a spade a spade. This was a woman who helped him get all three of his additional wives. Literally they all connected with Kody through Meri. She then watched as these women gave him child after child. When she could only have one. She was jealous and she took it out on her Sister Wives and their children. Was it right . Absolutely not but I blame every adult for allowing her to continue to bully and abuse those children. They were all monsters.

Remember when she threw a fit about wanting the biggest house despite having only one child?

[@L0C0vision]

It's an even sadder situation when you realize that Padeon shared a room with his brothers on Janelle's side of thr Lehi house. That meant Paedon would have dinner and prayers with his mom and sisters, then bath and ready for bed, then bundle up and put on shoes to get to where he was sleeping. Janelle knew it was a power move to inconvenience everyone. Meri played the victim card and said it was about privacy. If Kody were any kind of leader, he would have told Meri that the kids can quietly use the hallway she created with furniture between certain hours or she could take the bottom apartment. It would seem that Kody was as afraid of Meri as Madison and Paedon.

[@L0C0vision]

@@AmethystEyes She saw the new favorite wife get the 7 bedroom house and there was no way Meri would settle for less.

[@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis]

Some of these comments- let me give you the perspective of someone who grew up in a strict religious church. My mom was part of a church, and the leaders were REALLY strict, the female one in particular. In church if my toddler sister was being noisy she would “help” my mom by taking her out of church into the back. My mom said later she was always suspicious that she was far too harsh with my baby sister, spanking her and speaking harshly and being rough. But my mom could never really prove it, and to bring allegations against a church leader is VERY SERIOUS. They can come back and say that you’re being spiteful, not using discipline in your household or basically punish you by making you “withdrawn from the church”. It’s like being shunned. My mom didn’t know what to do. Years later this woman was revealed by her step-children to have been horribly cruel and abusive, whipping them with switches across the backs of their legs and leaving bruises on their bodies. My mom is a good person and she felt such shame that as a young, overwhelmed mom who believed in what was right- she never spoke up. She always regretted not finding her voice. I’m telling you, I think Meri was somewhat like that. It’s very telling that in a family that huge, almost nobody likes her or wants to talk to her anymore. Everyone has been hinting that she mistreated the children and other wives for years. I believe that She dislikes children in general but there’s a few she thought were okay, hers included. But even her own child doesn’t really have that close of a relationship with her. It’s because they know how cruel she can be. It’s why Janelle and Christine had so many issues with her. I believe she targeted the boys in particular, and was easier on the girls. Nowadays you just see her playing victim over and over, but her family doesn’t buy it. They’ve seen sides of her that we haven’t. It’s very telling that the children gravitate towards Janelle and Christine- but not Meri. Children never forget the ones who cause them pain. I know it in my heart, Meri isn’t who she pretends to be.

[@LadyDawn_smiles]

Sounds like a angry young man! I’m not convinced he knows what abuse is.?I can’t imagine the stress and pressure the adults were going through, publicly and privately. They’ve all said for a long time that they are entrepreneurs and they definitely know how to work social media. I don’t think we can trust that it any of this isn’t just a publicity stunt to increase revenue. We will never understand what this family lived. I’m not passing judgement on anyone. That generation feels like the have to shred their relationships with their parents in order to motivate them to start their own lives. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have to wonder if this is just the latest episode of the “robyn is so perfect” campaign put out by the kody camp, since blaming “horrible” Christine didn’t work. we all know NO ONE is buying the it was my decision bs being put out from Meri and Kody’s joint statement

[@mep606]

If you watch the interview, that’s the only thing nice he said about her.

[@daniellevaughn4598]

Sounds more like just giving recognition to something positive someone did. He wasn't like "Oh my God, Robyn's the best...." All he said was he would never hate her because she opened people's eyes. He did NOT say he liked her. There's a difference.

[@Indigo565]

He doesn't say anything nice about Robyn except that. He does not like her but he doesn't hate her

[@foedeer]

Interesting that he smiled when describing it. Pretty damaging statements and unsurprising to see people in the comments jumping on it like they know and are better.

[@daniellevaughn4598]

Unsurprising to see some people in the comments outright reject what he said, like they know.

[@judytinker3392]

What’s going to come up next! Why was this never revealed. I’m no fan of Meri, but come on. With Christine’s big mouth, I’m sure she would have let this one be known.

[@mamabear8591]

Exactly...that's what is was thinking 🤔...also how the other adults let this keep happening and do nothing?!

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

This is the tell all we deserved. Thanks to pardon for being so open with his truth! I love all the brown kids so much.

[@charlenedenino545]

He’s not honest he’s woke. The woke generation has been brainwashed to believe their parents are mean and hateful people. He even dislikes some of his siblings. His childhood pics looks like he’s a loud mouth trouble maker I can’t believe if he was abuse that he would not open his mouth about it like he’s doing now. He’s smiling while he’s saying he’s abused. Abused kids do not smile while they are telling you they were extremely abused. Being intolerant of loud mouth trouble maker kids is not abusive. Having kids not running through your house all day long is not abuse. Yeh she might have been intolerant or even mean by using harsh words but thats normal parent behavior with some kids. Some kids can be a handful I mean look at janelle she never wanted to be around her kids all day long she even admitted it. She said she’d rather work then be at home with the kids. So, whatever paedon says you need to take with a grain of salt because he’s exaggerating most of it

[@tinman47-t3m]

Idk I can see where she could definitely be “mean” or “abrasive”, but here’s the deal. If she truly physically abused any of those kids, and if Christine, for example knew about it and stayed, that’s messed up. Because Christine now says, Meri and her will not ever have a friendship, but she wishes her the best, etc. I can’t say I would be saying that about someone who was physically abusing my kids. So idk how much to believe about what he’s saying.

Oops child abuser

[@sunlight93339]

Paedon comes across as an attention seeking drama queen...much like his mother. I genuinely feel in my gut that he is overdramatizing what he claims he went through with Meri. There is just something very calculating and malicious about the way he is describing the supposed abuse..as well As the timing and the fact that it's entertainment tonight's soliciting his opinion and therefore giving him all of this attention? He sounds rehearsed and most of what he is saying simply does not ring truthful... Like he's actually enjoying being the center of attention for this Entertainment Tonight article/post. This begs the question; WHY are you only coming forward NOW and making all of these horrible accusations? WHY NOW Paedon? Could it be that it's because the article or post is being solicited by none other than ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT which will garner you a lot of attention and sympathy across the nation and around the world? Why haven't other children come forward and made these claims? Why is it only Christine's children or child making this claim? I think he's a dishonest, calculating, attention seeking DRAMA QUEEN.

[@danalombardi8068]

He did an interview with a KZbinr not Entertainment tonight. I agree though with your sentiments something is off.

[@ShellBAtoms]

He's just validating what Maddie Brown Brush tweeted a couple years ago, when she called Meri abu$ive and a monster. She also said that she grew up in fear of Meri. I believe Maddie - and therefore believe Paedon also.

[@tanyasteers4802]

Don't believe it for a minute! Mary is the only likable wife and Janelle can't stand Robin but Christine is the worst her with her leather pants please!

There has to be some truth to it because none of those kids not even her own child deals with her and she is mean spirited.

[@laurier8131]

🤣🤣🤣 He can't stand Robyn. You didn't see the shirt he had made and wore that said, " what does the nanny do?" He's gaslighting and trying to stay relevant and throwing everyone under the bus at different times and then saying he loves them at others. Remember, his own Mom kicked HIM out of the house for attacking his sister.

[@srso4660]

You missed the point he was making... He meant that if Robyn wouldn't have come into the family, his mother and the other wives would have never seen Kody and their toxic family for what it was "it opened many eyes", it awakened them to the truth.

[@Carolina-uf2ip]

With this kid the Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Just like his father. 🤔 I will say if Mary would have never got catfished and pulled Robin into the family to replace herself the family would still be together because Cody wouldnt have pushed Mary off and then chosen Robin as the favorite out of all four bc there would be no Robin.

[@karensmith197]

I wonder if Christine knew Meri was abusive towards them.
