FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA: Meri Brown welcomes the new year by welcoming a new companion in her life. On 1st January 2024, the 'Sister Wives' star took to Instagram to write, "Welcome to my world Zona!!"

Adding a picture with her new pet friend, Meri claimed to have a lot of reasons to not get a dog, "They say love comes when you least expect it. Ask anyone I know, I wasn't going to get a dog. I travel too much. They're a lot of responsibility. I had all the reasons not to get one."

However, Meri couldn't take her mind off Zona once she visited her in the shelter. Meri says, "Visiting the shelters and playing with all the dogs and showering my love on them is what I love to do. So many dogs who need all the love!"

Talking about Zona and how she her, Meri added, "When I met her on Saturday, I knew she was special. I couldn't get her off my mind or out of my heart, so I went back on Sunday and brought her home with me! What a perfect way to spend New Year's Eve!"

'Sister Wives' star went on to wish her fans and followers a happy new year. She further mentioned looking for surprises in 2024. 

Meri ended her post by saying, "Looking forward to 2024 and all the magic and surprises it holds for me!"

'Sister Wives' star Meri Brown calls out Kody Brown for never loving her

In the 'Look Back' episode of 'Sister Wives' Season 18, Meri sees the video where Kody is claiming his love for his sister's wives will not diminish as Robyn enters the family. Meri claims, "I don't know what to think and feel when Kody sits there saying 'Oh I'm so in love with all my wife and I'm also in love with Robyn.'"

She goes on to slam Kody, "Were you lying then or are you lying now? Because in the past couple of years, he's come out and said he never loved Christine" 

Meri slammed Kody claiming that Kody had told her several times that he did not love her but was affirming and "trying to do his duty."

Meri Brown left disappointed as TLC star recounts commitment ceremony with Kody Brown

In one of the 'Look Back' episodes, the 'Sister Wives' stars were seen watching the commitment ceremony where Kody and his 4 sister wives took the oat to stick by each other's side.

Now that 3 sister wives have separated their paths from Kody, looking back at the video was a little hard for everyone.

Meri says, "I'm so mad at us, every single one of us. We failed ourselves." It seems Meri wanted the polygamy to work out and run smoothly. However, seeing the same not happen left Meri disappointed.

Is TLC star Meri Brown 'struggling'?

Recounting Meri and Kody's split, Kody believes that Meri has been struggling. He says that it's been a hard time for her ever since she got catfished.

As Kody and Meri land into a verbal fight over their breaking marriage, Kody calls out Meri for "blaming" him for not making things work between them.

Watching the video again, the sister wives believe Kody intentionally was trying to put Meri's blaming his part in the script even though she wasn't actually.
