Season 20 of Sister Wives cracked open old wounds that many fans believed were long buried, but part four of the explosive Tell-All took things to an entirely new level. What resurfaced wasn’t just Meri Brown’s infamous catfishing scandal—it was the shocking revelation that Robyn Brown and someone very close to her may have been far more connected to the catfish than anyone previously admitted. And now, a woman named Kendra has finally broken her silence, delivering an interview so unsettling it leaves viewers questioning everything they thought they knew.
For years, the official narrative painted Meri as the lone victim of a manipulative online hoax, while the rest of the family stood by, shocked and betrayed. But according to newly resurfaced claims, the situation may have been far more calculated—and possibly orchestrated from much closer to home. The bombshell accusation? Robyn Brown’s close friend allegedly had direct, ongoing contact with the very person who catfished Meri. Not casually. Not briefly. But intimately and repeatedly.
Fans were stunned when it was revealed during the Tell-All that Robyn and her inner circle didn’t just recognize the catfish—they allegedly knew her. And that revelation sent viewers racing back through years of footage, conversations, and conflicts, searching for clues that may have been hiding in plain sight all along.
At the center of this controversy is Kendra, a former superfan who once ran a popular Sister Wives fan group. Nearly a decade ago, she participated in a lengthy, never-before-viral interview that is now resurfacing and raising eyebrows everywhere. In it, Kendra details her disturbing experiences with the woman behind the fake personas that targeted Meri—someone known publicly as Jackie Overton.
According to Kendra, her involvement began innocently enough through online fan communities. She claims she was contacted by individuals using multiple identities—names like “Lindsay Jackson,” “Samuel Cooper,” and “Chelsea”—all of whom she later came to believe were controlled by the same person. What’s more chilling is her assertion that Robyn’s friend was already in communication with these personas, long before the scandal exploded publicly.
Kendra says she was slowly pulled into a web of lies, manipulation, and fear. At first, she didn’t believe Meri had been catfished at all. In fact, she admits she thought Meri was simply covering up an emotional affair. That belief, she claims, was encouraged by the catfish herself, who repeatedly tried to convince Kendra that Meri was lying and that “Sam” was a real man with genuine feelings.
As time went on, Kendra alleges the situation turned dark. She says she was pressured into backing up the fake story, posting statements she didn’t believe, and staying quiet whenever doubts arose. According to her, the catfish threatened to ruin reputations—including her own and the Brown family’s—if she didn’t cooperate. Fear became a constant companion.
Perhaps most alarming are Kendra’s claims about hacking and surveillance. She insists the catfish boasted about hacking abilities, sent her suspicious links, and even gained access to her social media accounts. Kendra says posts appeared online that she never wrote, fake profiles were created in her name, and private information was leaked without her consent. At one point, she claims police even showed up at her home following a false report—an incident she believes was designed to intimidate her into silence.
Throughout the interview, Kendra describes how the catfish expertly maintained multiple personas, each with distinct voices, accents, and backstories. Yet despite these efforts, Kendra says there were slips—shared laughter patterns, repeated phrases, and accent changes that convinced her all the characters were one and the same. She recalls moments when the person behind “Sam” would laugh exactly like “Lindsay,” or suddenly drop an accent mid-conversation.
Kendra also claims she was encouraged to fabricate events to make the fake relationship appear real, including hospital visits and gifts that never happened. Her explanation? She believed that by staying close and playing along, she could eventually expose the truth and protect the Brown family from further harm. In her words, she was trying to “catfish the catfisher.”
But the emotional toll was immense. Kendra says she lived in constant paranoia, terrified of retaliation. She lost relationships, her credibility was questioned, and her mental health suffered. Even now, she admits she still fears what the catfish might do if fully exposed. Despite that fear, she insists she stayed involved longer than she should have because she believed the person was dangerous—and capable of hurting others if left unchecked.
What truly shocked fans, however, was Kendra’s insistence that Robyn Brown’s friend was not a bystander. According to her, this individual knew the catfish personally and had ongoing interactions with her. For many viewers, this detail reframed the entire Meri scandal. If true, it suggests that information—and possibly manipulation—was flowing through channels much closer to the family than anyone ever suspected.
Kendra paints the catfish as a master manipulator: charming, generous, frighteningly intelligent, and deeply unstable. She describes moments where the woman appeared kind and supportive, followed by periods of rage, threats, and elaborate schemes. In Kendra’s view, this unpredictability made her especially dangerous.
She also claims the catfish was obsessed with the Browns, harboring particular resentment toward Meri and, at times, Kody. According to Kendra, there were even disturbing conversations hinting at revenge fantasies—comments she took seriously, even if she couldn’t verify them. That fear, she says, is what ultimately pushed her to speak out.
Despite everything, Kendra ends her account on a surprisingly human note. She expresses a strange compassion for the woman who caused so much chaos, suggesting that beneath the deception is someone deeply broken who needs help. But she’s clear about one thing: the damage is real, the trauma is lasting, and the truth deserves to come out.
As Sister Wives fans revisit the Meri catfishing storyline through this new lens, questions are multiplying fast. Was Meri set up to fail? Did certain family members benefit from her isolation? And how much did Robyn truly know?
One thing is certain—this scandal is far from over. With old interviews resurfacing, alliances being questioned, and fans demanding accountability, the past is no longer staying buried. If Kendra’s claims hold weight, the Sister Wives story we thought we knew may only be half the truth—and the most uncomfortable revelations may still be ahead.
