Meri Brown Ex Kody Wanted To Pick Out Her Outfits & Have His Wives All Match

Meri Brown Claims “Controlling” Ex Kody Wanted To Pick Out Her Outfits & Tried to Get All of His Wives to Wear Matching Clothing

“Sorry but I refused to take fashion tips from a man who wears a visor unironically!”

Kody Brown isn’t exactly known for his great fashion sense (visor and ever-present work gloves, anyone?), but according to his ex-wife Meri, the ‘Sister Wives’ patriarch liked to choose what she and his other wives wore.

During Sunday’s episode, Meri revealed that Kody often used clothing as a means to control her. (As fans know, Meri was Kody’s first wife; they “terminated” their marriage in 2023.) She claimed that Kody would often try to pick her clothes for her, and even wanted her to match his other wives, Robyn, Christine and Janelle!

“He had certain sweatshirts or hoodies or whatever that he liked to have all of this wear so we could all match,” Meri said during the episode. “Maybe it was fun, maybe it was weird. I’m not sure.”

“Um, definitely weird, Mer. It’s bad enough we had to share a loser husband! We don’t need to share a fashion sense too!”

Twinning among the sister wives apparently wasn’t the only thing Kody tried to insist on. According to Meri, Kody even tried to have a (work-glove-covered) hand in picking out her outfits.

“He had a lot of suggestions of how I should dress…He liked to choose the clothes that I wore,” Meri said, adding that Kody made it clear that he did not like the outfit she wore on their first date.

“I didn’t think it was weird at the time,” she said. “When I think about it now, I think it’s, like, really weird and very controlling.”

“I’m so shy; I don’t mind if Kody picks out my clothes…as long as they’re purple or florals!”

This is not the first time one of Kody’s ex-wives has accused him of being overly controlling with their appearance. During an episode of ‘Sister Wives’ that aired last year, Christine revealed that Kody would give extra attention to the wives (aka Robyn) who put on makeup the way he liked them to.

“He liked makeup. It was like, you had to always, always look nice,” Christine– who left Kody in 2021— said. “It mattered to him so much.”

Christine stated that Robyn would often make herself the way Kody liked her to, which would result in him comparing the other three wives to Robyn and paying her extra attention.

“Those girls are haters who just hate me for my beauty!”

During the same episode, Meri also spoke out about Kody trying to control his wives’ appearances.

“Kody’s always wanted people around him to look good,” Meri stated. “I remember when he and I were first dating, he would take me out and buy outfits because he wanted me to look good.”
