MERI Brown celebrated her 51st birthday over the weekend with several friends. But husband Kody and her fellow Sister Wives were nowhere to be seen.
Now fans are wondering if Meri will be the next wife to leave the nest.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the birthday girl revealed her weekend celebration was “amazing,” but not what she expected.
“Things turned out a bit different than originally planned, but isn’t that just the way life goes sometimes?” she share I got to spend a few amazing days with some of my favorite people, sorely missed those who couldn’t make it, emotions were processed, plans were made, ideas were created.
“51 isn’t a bad thing at all. Watch out 2022, I’m comin’ for you!!”
Meri shared a series of photos from her weekend celebration, which included a stay at a Southern Utah bed and breakfast.
Alongside the smiling pics, she shared a cryptic message, including passages about being able to “conquer” any challenge:
“Meet Meri 5.1! The newest version, the most up to date model, more powerful, stronger, and able to handle all that’s thrown at her.
“She’s been around for a while, but every version is a little better, a little more dynamic, a little more energetic, a little more influential.
“She has the capacity for greatness, abundance and strength. She’s got visions, dreams, and goals, and is on a trajectory to hit them all, and then some.
“She feels deeply, loves completely, and gives freely. She’s ready to conquer!”
Tensions in the Brown house have been fraying since the Covid pandemic exploded.
In a recent episode of their reality show, Meri cried “nobody is fighting for our family” as her husband Kody’s strict Covid rules kept the family and his three other wives apart.
Family head Kody has created a set of serious guidelines during the pandemic, causing many arguments.
The multi-page list of restrictions included wiping down groceries and mail with Lysol wipes, and a two-week quarantine after traveling or having visitors.
Kody’s requirements have increased tension in his relationships with his three wives and children, and he even threatened to “evict” two of his sons for not following the rules.
The TLC star clashed with his wife Janelle, 52, over the boys’ socializing during the Thanksgiving holidays in an explosive argument, which ended with Janelle telling him to “f**k off.“
He told the mother of six that she should be alone on the holiday because her sons have been seeing too many people and would put everyone else’s health in jeopardy.
Kody told her to “respect” the “big picture” regarding his rules, but she said she didn’t want to be alone and declared, “You know, f**k off,” before storming away.
They also went head to head over Gabriel, 20, and Garrison, 23, living in Janelle’s house.
The irate father thought they should move out because they had been breaking his Covid rules and if they remained at Janelle’s, he wouldn’t be able to go over.
Janelle said Garrison is saving up to buy a new house, but can’t afford one yet due to the rising cost of real estate in Flagstaff.
Kody hit back, saying Garrison needed to figure out his problems on his own.
In his confessional, Kody said: “I tolerated a lot for a very long time until I realized that I was being lied to or deceived.
“And at that point, I sort of lost my patience with it, I’m like, you just need to make the boys move out.
“I’m on the verge of washing my hands of it. I’m gonna have Gabrielle and Garrison move out of the house. You’ve got a good car, you go get a job, here’s some cash. Bye.”
The Brown family has seen major tension during the pandemic, and in November Kody’s wife, Christine decided to abandon their marriage and move back to Utah.
Christine, 49, revealed on Instagram on November 2, she and Kody, 52, were parting ways after years of marriage problems.
“After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave,” she wrote.
“We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family.
Following Christine’s announcement, Kody took to Twitter to release his own statement.
“Christine’s decision to leave comes with a great deal of sadness,” Kody wrote. “We enjoyed many years together and I have a large amount of respect and admiration for her.
“Although we are moving forward on different paths, we will always remain committed parents.”
