Sister Wives fans think Meri Brown shaded Christine with cryptic quote about ‘imitation’ in nasty feud over cooking show
SISTER Wives fans think star Meri Brown shaded Christine with a cryptic quote about “imitation” as their nasty feud over cooking shows continues.
Christine, 49, recently premiered her own TLC spinoff series that follows her making various recipes in the kitchen, despite Meri, 51, already having her own version of it on social media.
After Meri shared some new cryptic messages on Instagram, fans worked to decode them and are now speculating that they were aimed at her former sister wife.
She posted one quote from Oscar Wilde that read: “Meri is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”
In another post, the 51-year-old wrote: “I don’t worry about people ‘copying’ me.
“Your next move can’t happen till I make min. You’ll be behind.”

Along with the shady message, Meri drew a winking smiley face, called herself the “OG,” and made sure to tag her friend Jen, with whom she does the cooking videos.
One fan that that “now it’s extremely obvious that Meri thinks Christine copied her.”
Another wrote: “I wonder if Meri realizes..that everyone freaking cooks. You don’t have an embargo on it Meri, jeeze.”
A third commented: “Funny because in the show, everyone has always raved about Christine's cooking and her tapioca.

“Meri is delusional if she thinks cooking for the family was her purview, when even the book makes it clear that Christine raised the kids while Meri and Janelle worked.”
Christine bagging a new digital show, Cooking With Just Christine, on TLC's website has not gone down well with Meri, who hosts cooking snippets on her own Instagram page.
She appeared to throw major shade at Christine in a new video she upload in her kitchen alongside her pal Jen.
She introduced her clip and said: "So you guys welcome, welcome to another edition of Friday's With Friends.
"We know you want the cooking show with Just Jen," appearing to take aim at Christine's new show name, Cooking With Just Christine.
Meri continued: "Oh and me!," before bursting into fits of giggles.
Perhaps aiming shade at the newness of Christine's foodie gig, she continued: "Oh we have been cooking here for a long time.
"You guys should watch the whole past year, it's been kind of fun."
One viewer commented on the shady dialogue on Instagram, as they wrote: "Her friend Jen, who goes by Just Jen, they have been implying that Christine stole the name and premise from them."
Christine shocked fans when she announced her divorce from husband Kody in November and promptly moved back to her native state of Utah.
He remains with fellow sister wives Robyn, Meri, and Janelle.
Ever since calling time on the relationship, the TLC star has been thriving in her own home and new environment.
Her thriving has included landing this new gig with TLC, hosting her own digital cooking show.
