Meri Brown, the charismatic star of TLC's Sister Wives, had viewers doing a double-take on October 12 when her seemingly innocent wine and paint gathering turned cheekily suggestive. During the episode, the 54-year-old rallied her friends to paint eggplants, a choice hilariously inspired by a viral video equating vegetables to certain male body parts.
“I don’t know how this happened, and I’m feeling kind of embarrassed, but evidently now we’re all painting eggplants,” Brown chuckled in a confessional moment.
This unexpected theme spurred a lively chat about emojis and innuendos among Meri and her former sister wives—Christine, Janelle, and Robyn. Meri seemed clued in to the cheeky social media meanings, while Christine found herself a bit puzzled, and Robyn opted to stick to the literal interpretation.
As the paint dried, Meri got candid about her personal life, revealing she's "dating a little bit here and there." The reality star reminisced about a recent speed dating event, sharing that her chat with a man named Ron was delightful and left her keen on a follow-up date.
Meri's journey in love has been a public one since her split from husband Kody Brown in 2022, following 32 years of marriage. Post-separation, she shared a brief relationship with someone named Amos in 2024, which ended amicably due to differing life paths.
Fans hungry for more can catch Sister Wives every Sunday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on TLC, where Meri and her former sister wives continue to navigate life's colorful challenges.
