Garrick Merrifield of Seeking Sister Wife Faces Backlash Over Bathtub Photo
Garrick Merrifield, a star of Seeking Sister Wife, continues to evoke strong reactions from fans, solidifying his reputation for having an “ick factor.” As the Merrifields prepare for Season 6—having been spotted filming—Garrick seems to maintain his belief that he is a “gift” to women. Recently, a resurfaced photo has reignited criticism from followers. Read on for the details and reactions.
The Merrifields and Their Journey
While the premiere date for Season 6 of Seeking Sister Wife remains unclear, Garrick and his newest potential sister wife, Lorrana, have been seen filming together. Garrick’s romantic history has been tumultuous; after his engagement to Nathalia Lima—a law student from Brazil—fell apart due to a lack of connection with his first wife, Dannielle, he began courting Lorrana. This followed unsuccessful relationships with other women, including Roberta, who had previously integrated smoothly into their polygamous lifestyle.
Nathalia ultimately called off their engagement, citing Garrick’s overwhelming nature, while Lorrana now appears to be acclimating to life in America, offering the Merrifields continued screen time. Fans of the show have polarized opinions about the couple, especially following the birth of their third child in May 2023. Recently, however, many have returned to criticize Garrick after an old bathtub photo made a reappearance.
Bathtub Photo Sparks Outrage
This particular image, which is over a year old, has become Garrick’s social media profile picture, shocking followers who stumbled upon it. The response has been swift and critical on platforms like Reddit:
- “This picture gives me the ick more than a lot of things he has done… well, on par with many of his past actions.”
- “There’s nothing more repulsive than a man trying to look sexy.”
- “What a jump scare as I scroll through my feed.”
Confusing Philosophical Post
Adding to the intrigue surrounding Garrick, he recently reposted a philosophical quote that left many fans scratching their heads. Comments regarding the post ranged from confusion to disbelief:
- “Does the grammar of that post make sense? What is he even trying to say about Rudyard Kipling? And by the way, he’s famously racist.”
- “I had to read it multiple times. It still doesn’t make sense, but I’m sure it sounds brilliant in his head.”
Garrick previously claimed that God instructed him to seek another wife, a notion that has not resonated well with Dannielle, who often feels sidelined. Despite this, she remains in the relationship as they embark on their fourth season of Seeking Sister Wife with a new fiancée. Their dynamic continues to intrigue viewers, even as Garrick faces mounting criticism.
