Kody said that he takes the catfishing scandal of Meri as a wake-up call on their relationship. He said that he thinks that Meri was in a place where she was just having a friendship. He said that Meri has never met the person named as Sam Cooper whom Jackie Overton used to catfish the rather desperate housewife.
But Kody never said in the interview that he is planning to dump all his four wives and get two new ones. It could be that Kody was talking to Kendra off-cam which is why he can say all those things. Whereas, with Erica Hill, he knew he was on national television and cannot just say those things.
Assuming his sentiments are true, then TLC has all the right reasons to cancel the TV series for Season 8 because it no longer served its purpose of showing to the whole of America and the world that polygamous marriage works too.
It was also revealed during the tell-all interview that Meri’s daughter Mariah already knew about the catfishing that her mother was involved on even before it blew out of proportion. She even warned her mother about it from the get-go. Mariah said that her mother did not listen to her and proceeded just the same in talking online to Sam Cooper.
