Sister Wives fans think critics should stop hating Meri Brown for using social media after Garrison Brown’s passing. The Brown family faced an unexpected tragedy after Kody and Janelle Brown’s son, Garrison, committed suicide. At the time, Meri shared her condolences on Instagram and posted a picture of her nephew. Over 150k people liked Meri’s post and grieved with her. However, the mood changed after Meri posted about how she had fun with friends on Friday, leading critics to despise her for moving on too soon. She was called out for laughing and joking two weeks after the tragic incident.

Sister Wives fans discussed the issue in a Reddit thread, Potential_Focus_4194, and called Meri’s haters “grief police.” One Redditor wrote, “Meri posted a video that is swarmed with comments of people so fu***ng horrible to her.” The Reddit user pointed out that people must let the family heal instead of judging their every move.

Hundreds of Redditors agreed with the OP. They discussed how everyone has the right to grieve their way, and Meri’s post doesn’t mean she didn’t care about Garrison.

The Brown family members have grieved Garrison’s passing in different ways. Kody has been silent since announcing the tragic news on his social media. It’s unknown how he feels, but his silent reaction suggests he’s speechless after losing his son. Janelle has been occasionally active on social media. She has shared family photos and endorsed non-profit organizations supported by her son. Christine also remembered Garrison by posting throwback pictures of him. She recently defended herself from critics by saying she’d have to post promotional posts because it’s part of her job. She thanked her supporters for understanding her.

Fans are right to defend Meri because she has made no error or misjudgment. A family member’s death is hard to overcome. Therefore, people should be free to do what they want and grieve how they want. Meri didn’t make a post indirectly insulting Garrison. Instead, she simply posted a video of herself talking to Sister Wives viewers. She seems isolated and deserves to speak to her followers for the sake of socializing. Loneliness can be extremely hard to deal with after such a tragedy. Meri didn’t do anything wrong by posting a video.

People only see Meri, Kody, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn on social media for a few minutes. There’s much more to their lives than what they post online. Meri is struggling with relationship issues after her breakup with Kody. She also misses her mother a lot. Similarly, Janelle and Christine must’ve been heartbroken by the loss of Garrison. Just because they share a few social media posts doesn’t mean it’s all they think about the entire day. Even regular people go back to their normal lives a few weeks after losing loved ones. The Sister Wives cast is doing the same.
