The catfishing scandal grew even deeper when Meri learned that the man she started to fall in love with online was actually not a man but a woman impersonating one. Apparently, Meri was being catfished by a woman named Jackie Overton.
During an interview with Tamron Hall of TLC, Meri revealed that Overton used photos of an actor to trick her into thinking she was a man named Samuel Jacob Cooper. When Tamron asked her if something physical ever happened between her and Cooper, she said no, which showed Kody having a visible sigh of relief.
It seems that the drama could be at its most intense point as the family seems to be having a difficult time getting past the emotional affair of Meri.
But Meri will have to appease not only Kody or her three fellow wives but more importantly her daughter Mariah. Apparently, Meri and Mariah are not in good terms as shown in the trailer where Mariah admitted that she and her mom are not on super great terms.
It seems that everything that happened to her mother has taken an emotional toll on Mariah and Meri not talking to her does not help her get a great handle on things.
Meri is closing in on 50yrs. She was not a victim, she actively engaged in looking for someone to run off with. Mariah should be showing her mother some support, Meri gave Mariah everything she could in life and she was pampered to no end, unlike the other wive’s children who had to make do. Meri even made Mariah a star, by way of the show. Now Mariah looks down on Meri and has contempt for her because Meri is only human. That’s an ugly thing to do to a loving mother. Meri deserves a better daughter. Mariah Brown has failed as a daughter.
