Sister Wives’ wife #2 married to #1’s brother

TLC

[HMG Celebrity News] — That glorious banquet of white trash that is ‘Sister Wives’ just got even more fun – It’s now been discovered that one of Kody Brown’s four wives was originally married to another wife’s brother.
It seems Brown’s second wife, Janelle married Adam Barber – the brother of Kody’s first wife, Meri – in Salt Lake City in 1988. They divorced two years later, then Janelle and Kody performed a ’spiritual union’ ceremony in 1993.
A source says Kody even helped break up the marriage, and another insider says Meri is still distressed by the link.
“Meri was originally very upset over Janelle dumping her brother,” a family source tells the Star. “I think there’s been a lot of tension between her, Janelle and Kody all these years.”
The Brown’s unusual lifestyle has proved a hit, drawing over 2-million viewers – a record for TLC. But the reception from lawmakers has been less than warm – The day after the pilot aired, Salt Lake City Police announced they were debating polygamy charges. Kody could face 20-years in jail, and each wife could get up to five.
No charges have so far emerged, but just being in the show has already cost Meri her job and lost Kody several clients for his advertising business. And they’ve got twelve children to feed. So life could be better.
