During the November 10, 2024, episode of Sister Wives, Janelle Brown confronted Meri Brown about trusting Kody Brown and his current wife, Robyn, regarding the $820,000 Coyote Pass property payment deadline. The discussion between the former sister wives highlighted their opposing views on financial protection, with Janelle expressing concerns over asset distribution while Meri maintained faith in Kody's intentions.
The property dispute stems from the family's joint investment, where Meri and Janelle contributed to purchasing Robyn's $1.65 million five-bedroom home before their relationship with Kody ended. As Meri continued to defend Kody and Robyn's intentions during the episode, viewers quickly reacted on social media, with one X user noting,

"Meri is so naive thinking Kody and Robyn will not scr*w her and Christine over."
The conversation came after multiple separations within the Brown family, including Janelle's departure in December 2022 and Meri's formal separation from their church in late 2022.

The meeting between the former Sister Wives star centered on crucial financial decisions about their shared property investments. Meri maintained absolute confidence in Kody and Robyn's handling of property distribution matters.
"I don't think that there's really any need for protection. Don't you think that we have each other's backs as far as that goes?" Meri asked during their discussion.
Janelle immediately countered this trust: "No, I really don't."
Several X users reacted strongly to this exchange, with one noting
"Meri…My God! She can't be serious? She actually feels like Kody or Robyn WOULDNT screw her over."
Meri defended her position regarding the property discussions in her private interview segment, saying:
"Would Kody and Robyn really go into this thinking maybe we should get all of the property? I don't think that they're going to screw us over," she stated.
One X user remarked,
"Meri!!!...Have you been paying attention for the past 10 years??? He legally divorced you to marry Robyn."
Another Sister Wives fan commented on X, stating,
"No Meri, this is not a social visit - this is a 'let me put you on Kody's game' visit."
The discussion highlighted significant concerns about protecting individual financial interests. "I feel like I better protect myself," Janelle stated firmly. Meri's response remained dismissive: "Sorry that you feel like that."
One viewer on X expressed frustration:
"I thought Meri had finally realized that Kody & Robyn NEVER had her back or looked out 4 what’s best 4 the family as a whole. Aftr watching #SisterWives frm day 1 I now see how abusive, cultish & dishonest polygamy truly is. Meri, wake the eff up! Glad Janelle’s eyes r now open."
The property discussions exposed widening divisions in the former plural family's financial management. Janelle voiced her decision to seek legal representation regarding the property matter.
The situation grew more complex as Janelle acknowledged her lack of legal standing. Without a legal marriage to Kody, Sister Wives star explained her vulnerable position:
"I really have no legal rights to make any kind of claim on Kody's property. It's not like I'm just calling a lawyer and saying I need to divorce this person. No, it's complicated because there's no legal marriage."
Previous financial arrangements within the family added layers to the current property dispute. The family previously pooled resources to help purchase Robyn's $1.65 million five-bedroom residence.
"We would use all the resources to help one person, then we would all rally to support the other person," Janelle explained about their past financial system.
This arrangement changed significantly in recent years, with Janelle noting:
"And all of a sudden it's been about my estate and everyone needs their own estate."
Janelle's attempts to protect shared investments have met resistance in past Sister Wives seasons. When she suggested putting all names on Robyn's house mortgage, Kody refused.
"He was like, 'No, no, we need to protect Robyn's estate,'" Janelle recalled.
Now, amid property negotiations, Janelle expressed her desire to "recoup some of the money I put into Robyn's house."
The Sister Wives Season 19 Episode 9, aired at 10 PM ET on TLC, concluded with unresolved questions about the family's financial future and property distribution.
