Robyn Brown, star of Sister Wives, has been skilled at manipulating Cody Brown’s relationships with his other spouses. Recent seasons have focused on Cody’s failed marriages to Mary, Christine, and Janelle Brown, all allegedly caused by Robyn’s deceptive behavior. Before Robyn joined, the Brown family enjoyed years of harmony. Despite the other wives’ objections, Robyn alienated them by monopolizing Cody’s time, money, and attention. As the distance between them grew, she saw Cody’s marriage to Mary, Janelle, and Christine suffer but did nothing to mend the situation.
Robyn’s role as the ultimate puppet master was evident as she feigned tears when each sister wife said their farewells. Unlike the other wives, who worked to support the family, Robyn never sought employment and had over $32,000 in debt. With the other wives gone, Cody’s financial focus shifted entirely to her.
Despite advocating for polygamy, Robyn’s actions suggested otherwise. She isolated her children and disrupted family traditions, showing a preference for being Cody’s only wife. She openly expressed discomfort with Cody taking another wife, highlighting her true desire for a monogamous relationship with him.
Robyn’s influence extended to controlling Cody and asserting her dominance. She ensured her needs came first, securing a mansion while Christine lived in a trailer park, and Mary and Janelle struggled in smaller homes. With the departure of Mary, Christine, and Janelle, Robyn became Cody’s legal wife and the sole proprietor of the Sister Wives’ Closet.
However, Robyn has expressed unhappiness despite achieving her goal of being the last wife standing. She corrected Cody when he claimed to have only ever loved her, indicating dissatisfaction. Robyn’s manipulative behavior and crocodile tears earned her the nickname “Sobbin’ Robyn” among fans. Her true intentions have come into question, suggesting her attraction to the marriage was more about dominance and benefits rather than genuine love for Cody.
