Mykelti (Brown) Padron sees the end of her father’s recent marriage a little differently than some.
Christine Brown’s eldest daughter spoke out against Meri Brown after Meri and Kody Brown confirmed their marriage was “permanently over.” Mykelti pointed to Meri’s previous cheating scandal as the true end of their marriage.
Mykelti shared a Crowdcast Live to her Patreon followers and an Instagram account, Without a Crystal Ball, gave a glimpse of Mykelti’s take on the recent breakup.
“When you cheat on someone, you give up first,” explained Mykelti. “When you cheat on your spouse, the first thing you do is break up with the relationship. It’s unfair of her to get mad at Dad for giving up. She threw in the towel. She said, ‘I’m done.’ She cheated at first.”

The Sisters Wives star referenced Meri’s catfishing scandal in 2015. To recap, Meri met someone online and began an emotional relationship with them. However, it turns out that Meri’s online love was actually a woman pretending to be a man.
In a statement to PEOPLE at the time, Meri said: “During an emotional and vulnerable time earlier this year, I began speaking online with someone who turned out not to be who they said they were.”
She added, “I’ve never met this person and I regret being drawn into this situation, but I hope this will help others who may be in similar circumstances.”

The scandal caused a rift in Meri and Kody’s relationship, and the couple explained that they’ve found themselves in a non-romantic place since then. Kody previously addressed the entire situation on the show, saying Meri was “getting off my ass,” later adding, “She was done with us. And she can’t admit it now.”

Mykelti addressed that too, although Meri never physically cheated on Kody, the infidelity was just as real to her family. “[Meri’s child Leon] I overheard them having intimate conversations on the phone,” she said. “And if you’re sexting or verbal sexting or whatever, that’s cheating. It’s still cheating.”
