Christine Brown had a lot to say about her former sister wives in her recently released tell-all book Sister Wife— particularly about Robyn and Meri Brown. Despite the fact that she’s featured prominently in Christine’s memoir, Meri says she has yet to pick up the book to see what Christine says about her— and doesn’t plan on doing it any time soon.

“I have not read it, and I probably won’t,” Meri said on a recent episode of the I Do, Part 2 podcast.

“I don’t want to read it and be upset potentially at some of the things. And be like, ‘Oh, wait a second, that’s not what happened.’ Because that wouldn’t be fair,” Meri said.

As The Ashley has previously reported, Christine’s book covers her life before and after she married Kody Brown, who, at the time was already married to Meri, as well as second wife Janelle. The book also reveals some not-so-great moments from Meri, including the story of how Meri’s actions toward Christine’s daughter Mykelti (who was a child at the time) caused Christine to stop being friends with Meri.

Although Meri is aware that Christine’s book talks about her, Meri says that she and Christine often dealt with things differently. 

“I can’t say that I lived it with her because my life experience was different than her life experience,” Meri told podcast hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes. “Even though they were in the same life — [and] many of the things that she’s I’m sure talking about [were when we were both married to Kody] — we had the same history. We lived the same experiences. Our perspectives are completely different.”

Meri didn’t deny that what Christine wrote in her book was true; however, she stated that how Christine experienced an event was not necessarily how she did.

“So, what she’s writing about is her perspective on it. And it’s 100 percent valid to her,” Meri said. “Because in my perspective it happened different or maybe there’s a little bit of a shift.”

During a recent interview with The Sarah Fraser Show, Christine stated that she did not give Meri (or Kody or his wife Robyn) a heads-up about what she was going to be writing about in the book, nor did she give them or anyone else an advanced copy of Sister Wife before it was released. She also said that she didn’t think that Robyn or Kody would read her book, nor did she care if anyone in the family was mad about what she included.

“But I’m like, ‘OK, be upset,'” Christine said, before adding that she would like Kody (and any other upset family member) to write their own book.

“This is my perspective, and this is my point of view, and this is what I felt happened. If you feel different, write a book! Do it, please!” Christine said.

During the same interview, Christine made it clear that she has no interest in ever rekindling her friendship with Meri.

“But I do wish her well,” she said. “I see and I hear things that she does. It looks like she’s living her best life and I’m so excited for her. That’s great. She has some good friends, and I think that’s great too. But there is no need for us to have any type of relationship whatsoever. It’s not going to serve either of us.

“Once I get rid of a relationship that’s unhealthy, it doesn’t come back,” she added. “I don’t re-let people into my life if there’s not going to be any trust or value.”

As The Ashley previously reported, Christine’s book goes into detail about the incident that went down involving Mykelti and Meri’s child Leon when they were kids. Christine wrote that the incident— in which Meri “lost her mind” on Mykelti, yelling and embarrassing her for something trivial— caused her to no longer want to be friends with Meri. (She added, though, that this incident was not the only thing that severed the relationship.)

“We followed her rules when she was around to keep the peace, but her rules felt punitive and unfair,” Christine wrote. “I had to make a decision about what was best for me and my family within a family, and it changed our relationship forever.” 

In another part of the book, Christine accused Meri of making fun of her and saying cruel things about her while they were out in public together.

“I didn’t trust that [Meri] would be kind to me, particularly in front of other people,” Christine wrote. “She said demeaning things about me when she was with her family — in front of me. My weight. My intelligence. My parenting skills. We could be laughing and telling stories but then she’d throw a painful dart, and I would feel myself deflate.”

Meri didn’t address any of the specific things that Christine accused her of in the book. She did say on the podcast, however, that she also has no interest in being friends with Christine again.

“We don’t talk,” Meri said. “On my part, there’s no hate, I just don’t choose to have her in my life. It’s not healthy and it’s not safe for me emotionally.

“We have had some really good times, but I think our values just don’t align,” she added. “I know our values don’t align. There’s certain things that I want and I need in a relationship, and she absolutely doesn’t have that…  I don’t have to have relationships with everybody in the family, nor do I want to… It’s not healthy for me.”
