Kody Brown’s fourth spouse, Robyn, has a tendency to cast herself as the victim, but in reality, she exhibits typical cry-bully behavior. Let’s delve into the various tactics she employed in an attempt to harm her fellow Sister Wives.
When the reality TV show Sister Wives made its debut in 2010, viewers were introduced to Kody Brown and his unique family dynamic consisting of three wives and their 13 children. However, the once tight-knit family has experienced a significant breakdown in recent years. It all started during the show’s 17th season in 2021 when Christine Brown, Kody’s third wife, decided to separate from him, causing rifts within the family. Following suit in 2022, Janelle Brown, Kody’s second wife, also made the difficult decision to leave. Lastly, Meri Brown, Kody’s first wife, became exhausted with feeling neglected and chose to leave the plural marriage as well. With all these departures, Robyn Brown, Kody’s fourth and most recent wife, remains as the only remaining partner. Unfortunately, she has been heavily criticized for allegedly being the cause of her former sister wives’ unhappiness and the disintegration of their once vibrant lives.
Furthermore, it has been revealed that Robyn Brown had once presented herself as a trusted and loyal friend to Meri Brown.
Robyn became part of the marriage when Meri, Kody’s first wife, introduced them and supported their relationship. However, as time went on, Robyn played the role of mediator within the family while secretly causing conflicts between Kody and her sister wives. In a particular episode of Sister Wives season 8, Robyn confides in Meri about Kody’s decision to celebrate Christmas with Christine’s daughters, even though he knew it would hurt Meri, who was already feeling neglected. Ultimately, Robyn realized that she didn’t enjoy sharing Kody as much as she initially anticipated. Additionally, Robyn’s actions frequently intensified Christine’s feelings of jealousy.
Christine had always struggled with feelings of jealousy, and it was no secret. However, Robyn took every opportunity to taunt her by flaunting her favored wife status. One of the most frustrating instances was when Robyn constantly claimed to “speak Kody,” insinuating that she knew Kody better than Christine and her two other sister wives, despite being the newest addition to the family. This was particularly offensive because Meri, Christine, and Janelle had been married to Kody for much longer and had an equal or better understanding of him. By implying otherwise, Robyn only worsened the tensions between the wives. Interestingly, Robyn’s actions also exacerbated the problems between Kody and Christine’s son, Paedon.
Paedon Brown, the 23-year-old son of Christine and Kody, has been experiencing a strained relationship with his father. The issues initially surfaced when Paedon got married to Robyn and began spending more time at her house. However, the situation worsened during the pandemic. Kody and Robyn were extremely strict in their adherence to COVID-19 safety measures, and when Kody’s adult children failed to comply, Robyn stood by Kody’s decision to limit his exposure to them. As a result, the family couldn’t be together for Christmas, and Kody’s bond with Paedon remains strained.
Janelle decided to invest a significant portion of her money in the Coyote Pass property, which was bought by the Brown family in Arizona. This land was originally meant to accommodate houses for all of Kody’s wives and provide a comfortable living arrangement for everyone. However, as Kody’s relationships started to shift, the future of Coyote Pass became uncertain for the Brown family. In the midst of all these changes, Kody and Robyn moved into a large house of their own, seemingly not considering Janelle’s financial well-being. Additionally, it appeared that Robyn took pleasure in humiliating Meri Brown.
At a casual gathering of the Brown family, Kody displayed a moment of kindness by preparing a s’more for his first wife, Meri. Given their ongoing struggle to connect, any small act of affection holds significant meaning for Meri. Regrettably, Meri overheard a conversation between Robyn and Kody, where Robyn requested that he make a s’more for Meri. While Meri appreciated Kody’s compliance with Robyn’s suggestion, it also left her feeling unsettled. By instructing Kody to do something specifically for Meri, Robyn unintentionally reinforced the perception that she holds a favored position within the family dynamics.
In Sister Wives season 12, Meri had a desire to purchase her grandmother’s residence and transform it into a charming bed and breakfast. However, she faced a financial obstacle, as Kody declined her request for assistance, citing his inability to provide her with the required $40,000. It was quite evident that Robyn, due to her influence over Kody, did not make any efforts to persuade him to support Meri’s aspirations of establishing the bed and breakfast. Despite the lack of support, Meri remained undeterred and made the bold decision to fund the entire $80,000 herself, subsequently launching and managing Lizzie’s Heritage Inn as her very own venture.
Furthermore, it seems that Robyn’s actions also had an impact on the relationship between Christine and Meri.
Robyn Brown Not Only Betrayed Christine, but Also Stripped Meri of Her Legal Wife Status
Meri and Kody tied the knot in 1989 and made the mutual decision to embrace a polygamous lifestyle. While his unions with his other wives were based on spirituality, his marriage with Meri was recognized by the law. However, things took a turn when Robyn entered the picture 16 years after Kody had married his third wife, Christine. Robyn brought along her three children – Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna. In order to solidify the legal status of Robyn’s children within the family, Kody made the difficult choice of divorcing Meri. By legally marrying his fourth wife, he hoped to make the adoption process easier. Unfortunately, the divorce had a profound impact on Meri, who already felt neglected by Kody.
