Tamron Hall hosted the Sister Wives Tell-Alls on TLC from 2013 to 2015– until certain members of the Brown Family had her dismissed from the job for asking questions that were “too tough.” A week after Tamron revealed on her talk show the reason behind her firing, she opened up about whether she now feels her questions for the Browns were too offensive.
“I don’t think I ever went too far,” Tamron told Us Weekly. “I believe when you go on a reality show and you reveal your life, that puts so much out there on the table.”
As The Ashley told you last week, Tamron welcomed Meri Brown as a guest on her daytime talk show, The Tamron Hall Show, during which Tamron told viewers that she was “told not to come back” as the host of the Tell-Alls because “some people thought that the questions were too tough that I was asking.”
During her appearance, Meri confirmed to Tamron that some members of the Brown family were, in fact, unhappy with Tamron’s bold questions, though she told the host that she personally “never had any issues” with her. (Meri did confirm, though, that one of the family members who was unhappy with Tamron was Kody.)
“I know that there are people in the family who struggled with your wanting to hold them accountable, which is why they didn’t [want you to host anymore],” Meri said. “But that’s what you do! You hold people accountable and when people don’t want to be held accountable, they kick you out of the club.”
Despite being kicked out of the world’s worst club, Tamron maintained this week that she never took it too far during the years that she spent with the Brown family, even insisting that there were certain things she would refuse to ask the family.
“I know sometimes people will say I’m asking what the audience wants to know,” she continued. “[But] there are lines for me.”
One of those lines, Tamron said, were questions regarding the Browns’ children.
“ … I won’t cross that line,” she said. “Their parents signed up for the show; they did not, and for me, that’s a line in the sand.”
While Tamron feels she did a good job as the Tell-All host, she admitted this week that there is a question she wishes she had asked Kody’s then-four wives years ago.
“I never asked them, ‘If they could have him without the other wives, would they?’” Tamron told Us Weekly, referring to Kody’s (now) ex-wives Meri, Janelle and Christine Brown and Kody’s only remaining wife, Robyn Brown.
Tamron told the outlet she never came out and asked them what their thoughts were on the idea of being monogamous with Kody– a concept that became a reality for Robyn in early 2023 after Christine, Janelle and Meri left Kody.
She also stands by the questions she asked Kody & Co. back in the day, claiming that some remarks–- particularly the ones about Kody and Meri legally divorcing in 2014 in order for Kody to legally marry Robyn and adopt her three children from her previous marriage– have proven over time to be “just and fair.”
“Looking at where things are now, I feel some of the questions I asked were just and fair as we see Meri now on her next chapter,” Tamron said, adding that she feels Meri “deserves respect,” something Tamron feels Meri didn’t always get while she was in Kody’s family.
“My heart also went out to her because I feel that some people saw her as a lesser wife because she did not have multiple children,” Tamron stated.
New episodes of ‘Sister Wives’ air Sundays on TLC.

She answered her own delusional question as to why she got canned. If she didn’t write the questions and bent knee to every production whim in spite of not being remotely familiar with her guests, then why does anyone need her as a host? By her own admissions she brings nothing personal or nuanced over say a coffee machine with a laugh track. Glad she is gone and really hope they just give it to some youtuber whom often have way better content than the tell alls anyway lol. Hopefully she has enough money to go be herself and leave us alone to enjoy our trash tv lol.
I really think when the legal divorce happened with Meri, it was the “beginning of the end”. Meri has, from day one, been my very most favorite person on the ENTIRE show and I’m SO happy she not only lived to tell and made it through to the other side, but she’s thriving and happy NOW. Meri gives ME hope :). I LOOOOVE Tamron and ya know, the adage that it “all works out in the end” is soooo true in this case. Tamron needs a situation where she has reasonable asks and not ASKED to be UNreasonable in her interviews!
what a joke!! pressure on the other wives to look good?! Obviously they did not take it seriously. Maybe, they were hoping Cody would stop coming to their house for any sexual favors.
The ex sisters look was better now then before.
I would like to ask when he last had sex with each of the wives that left. I would imagine an honest answer to that would show exactly what a sham each of those other ‘marriages’ was and for how long.
