The saying goes, “Here’s to strong women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.” But if you’re Kody Brown, it seems more fitting to say: may we avoid them. The longtime Sister Wives patriarch appears to have made it his mission to avoid, dismiss, and even sabotage strong women, especially those who dare to hold him accountable. And now, what fans have long suspected has finally been confirmed — Kody played a direct role in ousting one of the show’s most respected tell-all hosts: Tamron Hall.

For years, Sister Wives fans have watched as tell-all hosts came and went, a revolving door that always felt more about Kody’s comfort level than anything else. Well, buckle up, because Tamron Hall herself recently confirmed what viewers already believed — Kody got her fired. That’s right. The Emmy-winning journalist, known for her fearless reporting and compassionate interviewing style, was allegedly told not to return becau

Tamron’s recent reunion with Meri Brown was both emotional and revealing. It had been years since the two had shared the screen, and Tamron didn’t hold back as she revisited her brief yet impactful time on Sister Wives. At first, she admitted, hosting the tell-alls was “just a job.” But as she got to know the family, she found herself becoming emotionally invested, especially in the wives and their children. She grew to respect Meri deeply and felt a connection that has clearly stood the test of time.

That connection was on full display during their sit-down, where Meri admitted that her relationship with Kody is now “pretty non-existent.” That’s not just a casual statement — that’s a powerful declaration from someone who spent over three decades trying to make it work with a man who never really showed up emotionally. Meri shared her disappointment, not in the end of her marriage, but in the way the divorce unfolded. She had hoped they could part ways with kindness and mutual respect, but instead, she was met with coldness and, at times, outright cruelty.

And here’s where it gets even more revealing. Tamron pointedly asked Meri about the tension she had sensed on set, especially between Meri and Robyn, Kody’s fourth (and remaining) wife. While fans have long debated where the real friction lay within the family dynamic, Tamron cut through the noise and went straight to the heart of it. “Was I wrong?” she asked. Meri’s response? A quiet but firm, “No, you weren’t.”

It was a moment of truth — one that confirmed what many had suspected all along: Robyn wasn’t just the favorite wife, but the source of deep pain and resentment for the others, especially Meri. Despite all her efforts to keep up appearances, Meri couldn’t hide the true root of her tension — not with Tamron in the room.

Tamron also touched on the strange behavior seen in past tell-alls, where the wives seemed to be communicating in “secret code” — subtle glances, vague responses, dodged questions. It’s something fans noticed, but having it acknowledged by Tamron and Meri was validating. Meri confirmed that yes, she was using coded language back then. Why? Because when you’re living in a world where speaking the truth gets you exiled — or replaced — you learn to protect yourself however you can.

Meri’s quiet strength throughout the interview was a reminder of just how much she’s endured. After 32 years with Kody, she didn’t just lose a marriage — she lost the illusion of ever having had a partner who truly cared for her. And as painful as that realization is, it’s clear that Meri is finally free to speak her truth, without fear of repercussions or icy stares from across the family’s iconic reunion couch.

And then there’s Kody. The man at the center of it all. A man who claims to value family, but who systematically shuts out those who challenge him. Whether it’s former wives like Christine and Janelle, or professional hosts like Tamron Hall, anyone who dares to confront Kody’s version of the truth seems to find themselves swiftly removed from the narrative. If you’re a strong woman, Kody doesn’t just resist you — he fears you. Because strong women see through the smoke and mirrors. They don’t fall for the charm or the chaos. They ask questions. They demand respect. And that’s something Kody Brown simply can’t handle. 

Tamron’s honesty about her firing and her emotional reunion with Meri was more than just good TV — it was a healing moment for many longtime fans. It peeled back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes power struggles and gave viewers a chance to finally see the truth. Kody didn’t just push strong women out of his personal life — he pushed them out of the spotlight, out of the studio, and out of the narrative altogether.

Thankfully, the tides are turning. With Christine and Janelle gone, and Meri finally finding her voice post-divorce, it seems the “strong women” Kody tried to silence are just getting started. As Tamron said, she didn’t even want to host Sister Wives initially. But she ended up falling in love with the story — with the people, the strength, the perseverance. Her role in the Sister Wives universe may have been cut short by Kody’s fear, but her impact is undeniable.

Here’s to strong women. Even when men like Kody Brown try to silence them — they rise. They speak. And they reclaim their narrative.
