Fans of "Sister Wives" are still waiting for any news about the premiere date of season 7 of the TLC series about the polygamous Brown family. This is after the season 6 finale shocked viewers when Meri Brown admitted that she had been involved with another man online.

But it was revealed that the man, who used the name Samuel Jacob Cooper, is really a woman named Jackie Overton who pretended to be a man and had a six-month affair with the reality star.

Now, Radar Online reports that Overton has written a new book exposing some details about Meri and Kody Brown's relationship, as well as other shocking allegations against one of the sister wives.

In Overton's tell-all titled "Almost Meri'd," it is claimed that Kody was verbally abusive to Meri and that Meri "went mute for several years because it's easier."

"She told me anytime she tried to speak up or defend herself, he would start a fight and began yelling at her," Overton wrote.

The book also alleges that Meri no longer wanted to be intimate with Kody and that he treats her like his assistant.
The tell-all also claims that one of the sister wives physically attacked Meri while she was pregnant.

"She told me in one really bad argument she was pregnant with her daughter and her sister wife grabbed her by the shoulders and kneed right where the baby was," Overton writes. The website reports that the reality star has discussed filing a lawsuit against Overton.

In a two-hour special that aired last November, Meri talked about the catfishing incident and said that it started when she began talking to some people on social media and got into a situation where she was made comfortable enough to trust one of them. She explained that the person she was talking to was saying all the right things and was being very kind and understanding.

Last year, the TLC star took to Twitter to say that after the incident, she only has "peace and forgiveness" in her heart.

"I pray for my abuser to find peace within her heart as well," she continued.
