Robyn Brown, star of Sister Wives, has been skilled at manipulating Kody

Brown’s relationships with his other spouses. The past few seasons have highlighted

Kody’s failed marriages to Meri, Christine, and Janelle, all of which were attributed

to Robyn’s deceptive behavior. Before Robyn joined, the Brown family enjoyed years of harmony and tranquility. However, her arrival marked the beginning of the family’s disintegration as she personalized Kody’s time, money, and attention, alienating the other wives. Kody, Janelle, and Meri had full-time jobs to support the family financially. Christine, as the stay-at-home wife, took care of the children but also contributed to the family’s income by working nights, even while pregnant.

In contrast, Robyn never found employment and accumulated over $32,000 in debt from retail credit cards, which the family had to pay off. She constantly vied for Kody’s attention and resources, even as the other wives left. Robyn’s commitment to polygamy has been questioned, as her actions often contradicted the principles of mutual respect, understanding, and care. She kept Kody to herself, drove a wedge between him and the other wives, and refused to let her children play with the other kids until she had her own home.

Robyn also disrupted family traditions, such as the Christmas gift exchange, and made it clear that she wanted to be Kody’s only queen. Despite her efforts to control the family, Robyn has not found happiness. She complained of feeling depressed and melancholy after the other wives left. Robyn’s actions, such as buying the largest house and taking over the family business, have not brought her contentment. Her request for an equal share of the land on Coyote Pass suggests doubts about the longevity of her marriage to Kody.
