Sister Wives star Meri Brown aired her frustrations on the TLC show after finding out her former sister-wife Christine Brown had spoken out about a ‘secret’ to do with the wedding ring she gave to Kody Brown.

Back in the days of Kody Brown having four wives, the Browns all had Claddagh rings. But, now Kody is seen wearing a different ring. And, Christine is revealing what he did with his original wedding ring from Meri.

Sister Wives all had same rings

Sister Wives Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn all used to wear a Claddagh ring as a symbol of their plural marriage.

Christine Brown explained on an episode of the show’s Tell-All she and the rest of Kody’s wives designed and chose the rings together.

Speaking to host Sukanya Krishnan, Christine said: “So, Kody and Meri had a wedding ring, he melted down the ring, saved the gold, saved the diamonds.”

Christine added that Meri found out as Kody wasn’t wearing her ring anymore.

She said Kody said: “Oh, I melted it down.”

Adding that her ex-husband “didn’t want Meri to have control and power over him anymore.”

Meri isn’t happy

Speaking during Sister Wives, Meri said she was “extremely frustrated” with Christine for sharing information about what Kody did with her ring.

Meri said: “It wasn’t Christine’s business to tell.”

After being legally married to Kody from 1990 to 2014 and remaining in a relationship with him until last year, Meri said: “If I wanted to have shared that story in the last 13 years in a public way, I would have done that.”

She added: “She doesn’t get to come on here and tell my story without me even knowing it.”

The TLC star confirmed Christine’s story on how Kody melted down the wedding ring because he felt Meri had a “claim on him.”

She continued it was a “very, very painful situation.”

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Christine explained she doesn’t intend on remaining friends with Meri now that they’re no longer sister-wives.
