In the latest season of *Sister Wives*, Robyn Brown’s role as the manipulative force within the Brown family is put under the spotlight. Known for her cunning ways, Robyn has consistently meddled in Kody Brown’s relationships with his other spouses, leading to the dissolution of his marriages with Meri, Christine, and Janelle Brown. Before Robyn’s arrival, the Brown family enjoyed years of harmony and tranquility. However, Robyn’s presence disrupted this peace, as she monopolized Kody’s time, money, and attention, causing a rift between him and his other wives.
Throughout the past few seasons, Robyn has been portrayed as the ultimate puppet master. Despite her tearful goodbyes in season 18, her actions spoke louder than words. Robyn’s manipulative behavior became evident as she personalized Kody’s attention, alienating the other wives. While Kody, Meri, Janelle, and Christine had established roles and responsibilities within the family, Robyn never truly contributed financially. Instead, she accumulated significant debt, which the family had to pay off to secure her a home in Las Vegas.
Robyn’s quest to become Kody’s primary focus was relentless. She often spoke about the value of polygamy, but her actions revealed a different story. Robyn’s refusal to allow her children to interact with the other kids and her disruption of family traditions highlighted her true intentions. Her insistence that Kody should not take another wife further exposed her hypocrisy.
As Robyn continued to assert her control, the other wives struggled. Christine lived in a trailer park, while Meri and Janelle squeezed their families into small houses. Meanwhile, Robyn secured a lavish home worth $890,000, emphasizing her dominance. Her control extended to the Sister Wives Closet, originally intended to be managed by all four wives, but ultimately taken over by Robyn.
Despite achieving her goal of becoming Kody’s only wife, Robyn did not find happiness. Her complaints of depression and melancholy increased after Meri, Christine, and Janelle left. Robyn’s crocodile tears and attempts to paint Christine as the villain in the breakup further revealed her manipulative nature. Fans even coined the term “sobbin’ Robyn” to describe her faux victimhood.
In reunion episodes, Christine highlighted Robyn’s lack of genuine emotion, pointing out her empty weeping. Robyn’s goal for a monogamous marriage with Kody may have come true, but her unhappiness suggests that her real attraction lay in the control and advantages of the sister wives dynamic rather than genuine love for Kody. Her request for an equal share of the land on Coyote Pass hints at her doubts about the longevity of her marriage.
As we witness the fallout from Robyn’s actions, it’s clear that her influence has caused significant upheaval within the Brown family. With the new season’s drama unfolding, viewers are left wondering about the future dynamics of the Brown family and Robyn’s true motives.
