What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMeri Brown says she refused to be the one who left Kody Brown, even after she realized their love was meant to be divided, E! News reports.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo she knew it was over and just let it sit there. Thirty-two years of unread.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, this is a family emergency. Thirty-two years, and she held her position. I'd call that a commitment to remaining in the room.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI'm not invested. I just read all of it twice.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere's the detail that changes everything.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe was legally married to him from nineteen ninety to twenty fourteen, then agreed to a legal divorce so he could marry Robyn, Fox News reports.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo she was the one who signed the divorce papers and still refused to leave?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShe participated in a legal restructuring while maintaining her emotional position. It's very clean.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Drama Index gives this an eight. It's a divorce that took two separate ceremonies to finish, and neither of them was her leaving.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd she's been getting marriage proposals since the split, RealityTea reports, some from polygamous families. So the market reopened before the paperwork closed.
