Robyn Brown made a splash when she entered the plural marriage. Robyn was introduced in the first season of the show, dipping her toes into the intricacies of sharing a husband with three other women. While she entered with excitement for the atypical family dynamics and ive atmosphere, her involvement ultimately drove the other women away. Christine Brown was the first to leave Kody, with Janelle and Meri Brown divorcing him in the following year.
With three wives separating from Kody, Sister Wives season 19 will undoubtedly introduce more familial drama. Robyn’s outspoken discontentment with the divorce and subsequent monogamous relationship with Kody has hinted at a breaking point for the pair. The once loyal and idolizing wife seems rather miserable. While she may miss the other wives, she has nobody but herself to blame for the splintering of the family.
Robyn Always Played The Victim
She Has Never itted Her Guilt
Robyn won't it her faults as she often points fingers when problems arise. Ironically, Kody also tends to shift blame, making the couple a highly manipulative and self-serving force. In a trailer for season 19, Robyn calls out Kody for sabotaging their relationship. While it is true that Kody dwells on the past and has further split the family, Robyn was the catalyst for the divorces, making her comment, “I feel like the idiot that got left behind,” especially self-indulgent.

Robyn knew, as the last wife to enter the marriage, she would fall last in the pecking order. That didn’t stop her from taking control, establishing herself as Kody’s favorite wife, and breaking the family’s rules. Notably, when Kody was taking years to court Robyn, and neglecting his family in the process, Robyn and Kody kissed. The plural marriage, based on religious ideologies, had established early on that physical intimacy was not allowable before marriage. Robyn was quick to point out Kody had instigated it, though she fully embraced the kiss.
The inconsistency in rules, special treatment, and judgmental comments from Robyn helped the ex-wives identify the subtle abuse that Kody was perpetrating.

Robyn Acted Like She Was A Better Sister Wife Than Christine, Janelle, & Meri
Robyn Needed An Ego Check
Robyn’s ego pushed the other wives away. As Kody’s favorite, Robyn ed judgments and biting commentary about their lifestyles, parenting, and physique. From remarks about weight gain to discipline, Robyn established herself as the “best” wife. She constantly reminded the others that, despite being the last to enter the marriage, she knew the dynamics of plural marriages the best. This incessant commentary and her hypocritical ways led the other wives and a vast majority of their children, to cut emotional ties with her.
Electing herself as Kody’s confidant, Robyn would often remind the others that she “spoke Kody,” as if the other wives didn’t have the same closeness to the patriarch. This didn’t sit well with the other wives, especially considering several of them had been married to Kody for over 30 years. She reminded the wives they were lucky to have Kody, pointing out the stretch marks she had noticed on them. Robyn implied Kody was making sacrifices too by indicating his wives were becoming less desirable and that they needed to make the same effort to maintain their marriages.

Robyn treated her children differently than the others: her children were not held to the same standard. These standards and strict rules were established long before Robyn’s arrival, leaving many family feeling that Robyn held biases. With Robyn’s tangible preference for her children and her judgments of others, avoiding her became the easiest solution to the parental discrepancies.
Despite this clear detachment within the family, nobody could have expected to find Robyn’s children absent at Garrison Brown’s funeral. Garrison Brown, son of Janelle Brown, ed in March 2024, leaving the family and fans reeling from the loss. While most of the family were shown at the service, including Robyn, her children were nowhere to be seen in the pictures on Janelle’s Instagram. While the family has not confirmed nor denied their presence, it seems unlikely that none of her five children would be photographed in the surrounding crowd.
