They seem like a happy family on TV, but behind the scenes it appears things are far from golden for the Sister Wives family.  

Will The Browns Set A Legal Precedent?

According to a new report, Kody Brown rarely ever shares intimacy with his first three wives, focusing solely on Robyn when it comes to sleeping arrangements. And his decision to spend the bulk of his nights with her has caused some major jealousy issues with the other wives--especially Meri, who revealed everything to her online catfisher during their emotional affair. 

Merio revealed her issues to Jackie Overton, who posed as a man named Samuel Cooper, and had Meri convinced she would walk away from Kody, which led to the secrets being spilled. And now, Overton is allegedly planning on publishing them in a tell-all book as well.  

Kody & Robyn Reveal Their Daughter's Name

Insiders have said that Meri did tell her fellow wives she wanted out during the affair. But when it went public and she was revealed to have been catfished by a woman, that changed everything. She, Janelle and Christine all opted to stay with Kody instead-despite the lack of affection.  

"She did not want to be there anymore...she loved the kids but the marriage was done and she was not wanting to fix it," sources said of the conversation Meri had with her fellow sister wives. "She said the second sister wife [Janelle] was shocked."  

The family is expected to return with a seventh season of their show on TLC later this year.
