Seeking Sister Wife Truth Behind Roberta & The Merrifields

When Garrick and Dannielle Merrifield decided to pursue polygamy, they went online and found Roberta. She lived in Brazil and they decided to pursue a romance which played out on Seeking Sister Wife. Things got so serious that the Merrifields got divorced so Roberta and Garrick could tie the knot. Prior to her even getting a visa, they tried to conceive a baby, looking to grow the family. Dannielle and Garrick already had two sons but they knew they wanted more. By their second season on the show, despite having Roberta, they found another woman they thought might also make a good addition to the family.

She did not care for that in any capacity and by the end of Season 4, told them she was not coming to America. It looked like she had used the Merrifields for her personal gain but now a Reddit thread has been started to explain why she never came to America. The OP had contacted Roberta and she replied. As it turned out, she was “mortified” with the way that TLC portrayed her. It also seemed that she was okay with having another sister wife, aside from Dannielle, but she wanted to get settled first.

Roberta’s mother was also very sick, which was mentioned on Seeking Sister Wife. She was very close to her as her dad passed at a young age. So, she did not want to abandon her. Eventually, Roberta was tormented by her followers incessantly and it was mentally draining. So, she had to delete it all and it feels like she was shown in a light that was fabricated. These messages make her seem much more genuine but they are clearly open to interpretation.

Fans React

After Seeking Sister Wife fans saw these messages, what were their thoughts on Roberta and how things ended with the Merrifields?

  • Thank you for sharing… I do believe her in terms of those two lunatics putting her through anxiety and other mental health… they were so pushy, wanted her to leave despite her mom being sick and just clearly taking advantage.
  • That woman was a victim, pure and simple.
  • Why does this sound like some Nigerian scammer posing as Roberta?

Some questioned why this OP even felt the need to talk to someone they did not even know. This is a valid question but if it is Roberta, it does clear a lot of the myths up.
