Meri Brown revealed that her time in Arizona may be coming to an end.
On the latest episode of Sister Wives, she dropped a bombshell while meeting with Robyn and Kody Brown about their plans for the family’s Coyote Pass estate in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Meri, 52, has been spending more time in Utah focusing on her clothing company LuLaRoe and her bed and breakfast, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, which “needs” her presence, she told Robyn, 45, and Kody, 54.

“I wasn’t even planning on talking about this, but I guess here we are,” Meri began. “I was at a bed and breakfast last weekend and I’m needed.”
In the confessional, Meri revealed that she’s not sure if it has anything to do with her mother, Bonnie — who ran Lizzie’s before her death in 2021 — but she feels “drawn” to the business in Utah.
“I don’t know if it’s because mom’s gone, but there’s a sense of emptiness and I’m very, very drawn to be there,” the TLC star said.
Robyn, Kody and Meri discuss the future of their property.

After Robyn asked her what that meant, Meri revealed that “along with everything else going on and the statements Kody made to me this year,” she “probably” won’t be renewing her lease in Arizona.
Meri also said she doesn’t necessarily feel the same way about Coyote Pass.
“I’m not saying anything about this property because it’s always been my intention to build here,” she told the couple.

After learning of Mera’s decision – and that she didn’t know how temporary it would be – Robyn burst into tears.
“Meri says she has to move,” she said in an emotional confessional. “Despite the fact that I feel like my world is falling apart, I can’t fight it because it’s not fair to Mera.”
“What I really want to do is shout,” she continued. “What I really want to do is scream. What I really want to do is just say, ‘No. Please don’t do it.’”

However, despite Robyn’s reaction, Meri is confident in her decision to move and said other people’s feelings about it are “irrelevant”.
“I’m not going to apologize for what I know in my heart is what I need to do,” she said in an on-camera interview. “If it’s going to hurt Robyn’s feelings, if it’s going to make Kody jump for joy … whatever emotions anyone else has about it, it’s irrelevant.”

Mera’s decision follows her and Kody’s decision to end their marriage, which was also revealed during the episode, days before the trio’s argument over the Coyote Pass property. They first announced the breakup on social media in January.
After sharing the news of their split with Robyn, who had to walk away from the conversation, and explaining why it wasn’t “fair” for Kody and Meri to stay together anymore, the latter hugged the pair before parting ways.
Robyn is now the only wife of the Brown family patriarch after Christine Brown and Janelle Brown also left the polygamous union.
