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 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.
