Summary

• Kody Brown favored Robyn Brown, neglecting his other wives, leading to their separation.
• Robyn Brown's actions contradicted her claims of wanting a polygamous lifestyle, pushing the other wives away.
• Robyn Brown may have married Kody for financial gain, as the family paid off her debt from a previous marriage.

Sister Wives star Kody Brown favors Robyn Brown, and she might not have been worth the sacrifice. They started their relationship during the first season of the Brown family’s reality series, documenting their early courting process to their wedding day. Robyn was eager to live in polygamy after her first marriage failed, and the Browns welcomed her with open arms. After Kody married his fourth wife, Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown began to feel neglected. Instead of splitting time among wives, the fourth wife received most — if not all — of the patriarch’s attention.

Tension among the Browns boiled over during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kody attempted to enforce strict rules for the family to follow and spent all of his time with Robyn. He made little effort to connect with anyone who wasn’t living in their household. Robyn subliminally meddled in Kody’s relationships, which played a hand in the downfall of his other three marriages.

Robyn Brown Pretended To Be Into Polygamy

Robyn’s Actions Didn’t Match Her Words

Robyn isn’t as devout as she claims to be. The Sister Wives star has incessantly talked about how she wanted to “sit on a porch with [her] sister wives, with [their] kids and grandkids” as they grew older together. However, her actions have spoken louder than her words.

Robyn claimed to want polygamy but was content with Kody spending all his time with her.

As he started to close off to Meri, Janelle, and Christine, she complained about wanting to live a polygamous lifestyle but took no action to maintain their family unit.

Robyn Brown May Be After Kody Brown’s Money

The Brown Family Paid Off Robyn’s Debt

While the Browns may not be the wealthiest family in the United States, they had to have some income flowing to keep afloat. Since starring in a reality TV series for nearly 20 seasons, they have all amassed monetary gain from their appearance on the show. Kody has likely earned a pretty penny starring in Sister Wives, and Robyn may have noticed that. The Browns paid off the debt she accumulated from her first marriage. Robyn may have married Kody for money and has continued to reap the benefits as the show continued.

Robyn Brown Pushed Kody’s Other Wives Away

Robyn Might Have Wanted Kody All To Herself

Instead of forging friendships with all of her sister wives, Robyn pushed Janelle and Christine away. She had a great relationship with Meri, though they still clashed at times. Robyn blames Kody’s wives for the failure of their relationships and always chooses her husband's side over theirs. She said their marriages were “stagnant” because they had “stretch marks” and “weight gain” when she ed the family. Christine was quick to call out Kody’s favoritism towards her, which pushed him away. He demanded that Meri, Janelle, and Christine have good relationships with Robyn, and if not, he wasn’t interested in them.

Kody from Sister Wives favored Robyn over everyone, which may have been the wrong decision. Meri, Janelle, and Christine were cast to the side after he married his fourth wife. Robyn has meddled in her husband’s relationships, and now they’re left to live in monogamy.
