Gwendlyn Brown isn't afraid to call out her dad, Kody Brown, for his recent treatment of his wives.

But in his aside interview, Kody claims he no longer considers himself married to Meri and that he wouldn't object if she went off to find another relationship.Watching the pivotal moment, which was later discussed at length during the family's special, Gwendlyn gasped and declared, «The thing is, he is just leading her on at this point!»Once the episode ended, Gwendlyn once again referenced her father's treatment of Meri.«It is so unfortunate to see my dad going off on how he and Meri basically have this done relationship,» Gwendlyn said. «She doesn't know that.

They haven't had a conversation about it. And I think that's what's so important about what my mom did with him, because she said, 'We are done.' She told him to his face that they were over and Kody hasn't done anything.»Gwendlyn added that Kody allowing Meri to continue to believe the «fantasy» that they could eventually get back together is «manipulative.»«It feels completely manipulative to me because he's basically keeping this information from her and letting her be in this loveless relationship with this false hope that it's going to be fixed,» she added, before questioning, «How does it benefit him to stay with all of these women?
