Meri Brown on Catfish Relationship. I Never Crossed a Line!

Meri Brown on Catfish Relationship. I Never Crossed a Line!//

Sister Wives stars Meri and Kody Brown suffered a tremendous blow to their marriage last year when a catfish scandal went public.//

Meri had become involved in a relationship with someone she thought was a man, but later discovered was a woman.//

While it was certainly a source of humiliation for the entire polygamous brood, TLC is milking the controversy as much as they can.//

In a clip for the Sister Wives Tell-All, additional details of the relationship are rehashed between Meri //

and Kody while the other sister wives dutifully sit with their hands folded thinking, "Oh gawd, this again?"//

Meri tries to explain what drew her into the relationship when it first started.//

"At the very beginning, this person was fun, funny, just good conversation," she said.//

"I don't know, at first it was kind of cool to just have that kind of companionship."//

I suppose companionship might be hard to come by when you're married to a dude who has three other wives. //

 Earlier in the season, Meri admitted to her husband that part of the reason she strayed was//

 because she was angry at him for not taking "better care" of their relationship.//

But was it companionship she felt for her catfisher... or love?//

 The host grills Meri on why she used the word "love" in conversations with her online paramour and what was meant when she said it.//

"I felt for this person who I thought was a person," she explains.//

"I cared about who I thought she was portraying him to be. Because I have a trusting heart and a loving heart."//

However, she downplays her feelings by insisting the word "love" was used in a casual way,//

Through it all, she swears she never crossed a line. I didn't know what was going on and what was going to happen,//

 and I actually told this person, I said, 'I'm not crossing any lines — that is not me, and I will not do that.'//

 So the feelings that I had were confusing. Let us know what you think in the comments section below//
