Concerns arise among Sister Wives fans regarding the release of Season 19, with speculations that Meri Brown’s decision to stop filming may cause delays.
Meri Brown, who had been part of the plural marriage for over 30 years, made a significant move in her life by ending her relationship connections with the family at the end of Season 18. While this marked the end of an era for them, Kody Brown seemed unfazed by the announcement, as he had already stopped putting in romantic efforts years ago. Despite Meri’s efforts, she grew tired of feeling like a fool and decided to prioritize her clothing business and exit her union with Kody, Christine, Janelle, and Robyn Brown. Although Meri neither confirms nor denies the details of Season 19, her absence from filming may impact its release.
Several sources suggest that Sister Wives Season 19 may return in August or September, bringing hope to some fans. While some viewers may not be interested in seeing more of the family after the passing of Garrison Brown, others want to stay updated on their lives. However, some fans worry that the upcoming season will primarily focus on Christine Brown Woolley and David Woolley’s dating relationship, which they feel would be repetitive after already learning about it in the Wedding Special. There is also sadness surrounding the potential inclusion of footage featuring Garrison prior to his death and the aftermath of his passing.
Fans have recently expressed concerns about Meri Brown halting filming. She has developed a close friendship with Jenn Sullivan since moving away from the plural marriage, and Jenn is rumored to be part of Season 19. However, both Meri and Jenn have ceased filming their show “Fridays With Friends” without explanation, leading fans to fear a falling out between them, which could impact the release of Season 19.
Fortunately, the reason for Meri’s filming hiatus seems unrelated to her relationship with Jenn. Jenn has been dealing with a significant health issue, as she revealed in a post where she tagged Meri. She shared details about a non-cancerous tumor found in her uterus and the subsequent recovery process. Depending on how filming was interrupted, Jenn’s health concerns may cause production delays for Season 19, necessitating rescheduling of many scenes.
Meri Brown has assured fans that she is still around and not going anywhere, as she discussed on the Miss Understood podcast. She acknowledges that not everyone is meant to be part of her lifelong story, and some people are only there for a season. Meri is content with her relationship with former sister wives Christine and Janelle falling by the wayside. She mentions that Robyn and Kody are now practicing monogamy, and she is happy for them but glad she made the decision to leave.
Meri also talks about the grieving process, emphasizing the importance of embracing pain, allowing oneself to cry, spending time alone, and engaging in activities that bring comfort. She believes that the grieving process varies for each person and with each loss. Undoubtedly, both Kody and Janelle continue to experience a mix of good and bad days following the loss of Garrison Brown.
