Sister Wives: 8 Times Robyn Brown Came Off As Manipulative (& Made Herself Look Bad)

Sister Wives star Robyn Brown has made herself look like a manipulator and liar numerous times since the start of the show. The 45-year-old initially seemed like a genuine person who truly cared about her family and loved ones. She wanted to be in a polygamous family and showed respect for her husband, Kody Brown, and his other three wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown. Unfortunately, Robyn’s care and demeanor didn’t help her family. Instead, her closeness to Kody only made the other wives jealous, leading them to leave Kody ahead of Sister Wives season 18.

Robyn revealed many interesting details when she did the Sister Wives one-on-one interviews. She opened up about her new monogamous life with Kody and how he’s been feeling since his divorce’s. The mom of five shared that her husband had been trying to sabotage their relationship because of his other failed marriages. She also shared that Kody had become bitter due to the collapse of his polygamous relationship. Kody admitted his faults and shared that he never loved Meri, Janelle, and Christine. He claimed he only truly loved Robyn, which wasn’t a shock to viewers.

On one side, she has claimed she cared for them; on the other, she has taken indirect digs at them. When the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona, Robyn made a post praising specific Brown family kids, but not everyone.

Some Sister Wives’ family members have noticed Robyn faking her niceties. In early 2023, Christine’s daughter, Gwendlyn Brown, called out Robyn for fake crying. Gwendlyn took to her Patreon account and shared her reaction to Sister Wives season 17 reunion. Gwendlyn said, “was it just me, or were there like no tears,” pointing out that Robyn had no tears whatsoever during her breakdown.

Originally, Robyn made herself look like she was all about her family. However, things changed with time, and so did her attitude.

She cried and complained about her feelings, even though the breakup affected Christine and Kody, not her. In later episodes, Robyn again pretended she was the biggest victim but didn’t do anything to help Kody make amends with his other wives.

Robyn’s supportive behavior toward other wives also looks like a manipulation tactic. The best example is her treatment of Meri Brown and her lack of concern for her. If Robyn truly cared for Meri, she would’ve helped include her more and pushed Kody to take her back. However, she didn’t do anything because her affection for Meri was superficial. Even when Kody proposed to Meri to live in his barn and tried to give her a smaller portion of Flagstaff property, Robyn did nothing to help out her former sister wife.

Robyn has cried a lot on camera, acting like she’s the one who was the most affected by Kody’s breakups with Meri, Janelle, and Christine. She has even claimed that Kody is trying to sabotage their marriage. However, Kody hasn’t mistreated Robyn; in fact, he’s still with her, showing how dedicated he is to the marriage. If Kody wanted to sabotage the relationship, he would’ve done so. However, the fact that he hasn’t done anything to damage his relationship hints that Robyn is likely manipulating the situation to gain sympathy.

Robyn has shared contradicting views about polygamy since joining Sister Wives. Initially, she claimed she only wanted a plural marriage, so she joined Kody’s family instead of being monogamous. However, Robyn later claimed it would be disrespectful if Kody brought another wife into the family, implying that her ultimate goal was monogamy. Robyn’s words over the years make it seem like she has a hidden agenda. It looks like she’s with Kody only for selfish gain. Robyn likely switches between polygamy and monogamy to fit heroverall agenda.

Robyn’s past family has also made some allegations against her, revealing her true nature. In 2023, Instagram blogger withoutacrystalball posted a report stating what Robyn’s ex-husband’s family thinks of her. The blogger wrote, “they allege that Robyn has narcissistic personality disorder,” adding that they’ve called Robyn a manipulator and liar. Robyn’s former family has also alleged Robyn was “physically and verbally abusive” and tried to turn her kids against their father. It doesn’t look good whether the allegations are entirely true or partly true. The Sister Wives star is likely hiding her real character underneath her fake nice attitude.
