Sister Wives star Meri Brown can’t be having a problem with alcohol as concerned fans suspect because there’s one factor that her followers might have missed.

Week after week, the first wife of the now-defunct polygamous family slurs her words and acts silly on social media. At the same time, she swigs from a cup with contents unknown to viewers.

So, as Meri Brown swigs away, coupled with her bizarre behaviors, this has many people suggest that she’s drunk. Her Friday night online get-together spawns the same comments each week. The concerned fans ask if she is inebriated because of the way Meri acts.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Can’t Be Inebriated Week After Week

Meri Brown does a segment called Friday with Friends, on social media almost every week. Her best friend, Jenn Sullivan, joins her. The two pride themselves in talking about nothing with substance. Then they take questions from her Sister Wives fans.

But they won’t answer questions about the TLC series or about any of the family members that appear on that show. So, if you tune into Sister Wives hoping to get some scoop on Kody Brown or Robyn Brown, forget it.

That’s not going to happen, and Meri Brown says this each week as a type of disclaimer before they start their chat. So, she and Jenn laugh and giggle as they talk about some of the oddest things. Yet, they are still quite entertaining.

Why Can’t Meri Have a Drinking Problem as Fans Suspect?

If you ever tuned in to see this online chat session with Meri and Jenn then you’ve at least smiled while watching. You have to notice that Jenn is a breath of fresh air and people seem to love her. The people who follow her best friend, the Sister Wives celeb, also like how protective and kind that Jenn is to her friend.

When Meri Brown’s mom passed away, besides living with the pain and sadness of her loss, she had no one to run her bed and breakfast business. Running the B&B is what her mom did. So, Jenn stepped up to the plate to help her buddy.

This makes her a good friend in the eyes of many fans. But, Jenn is right there with Meri as she slurs her words and repeats herself often. So, even if the former first wife of Kody Brown tended to be under the influence, too often, fans don’t think Jenn would ignore this problem.

Sister Wives: Publicity Ahead of Season 18?

TLC is now filming Season 18 of the Brown family’s popular series. So this leads some fans to believe what you see from Meri Brown could be nothing more than publicity-seeking behavior.

Almost every week a slew of Sister Wives fans comment on how she appears drunk on the screen. They’ve even made comments to Meri, who doesn’t confirm or deny this. Although much like her messages online, she tends to be cryptic at times when answering those questions.

She’s known to say something odd when answering these questions. She said something like some people get high on drinking while others get high on happiness.

So, she alluded to being high on happiness.  This week Meri seemed to have fans even more concerned when she banged on the table so hard that the camera jumped.

So, after watching this couple’s friendship, you might agree with the fans who suggest Jenn would never ignore a drinking problem if Meri had one. She’d likely get her buddy some professional help.

Even if Meri is only high on happiness, this behavior grabs the fans’ attention each week. So, now with the new season filming, some fans wonder if she does this on purpose.

They say any publicity is good publicity. So, maybe that’s what’s going on with this reality star ahead of Sister Wives Season 18. If so, it looks like it’s working as she’s got her followers talking.

Plus, there’s usually something about Meri from the TLC show in the headlines immediately following a Friday with Friends video. So, if it’s exposure she wants, she’s getting it for sure.
