Sister Wives fans thought they might have been able to escape from watching Robyn Brown, but it seems that the wedding special focused on Kody Brown’s favorite wife’s two-faced ways. Robyn has been one of the most disliked TV personalities on TLC for ten years, thanks to her crying and manipulation. So when Kody’s wives started dropping like flies, it made sense to assume that Robyn and her charming husband would ride off into the sunset, never to be heard from again. But the mother of five still hasn’t learned to keep some of her opinions to herself.
TLC Kept Cameras Rolling
This isn’t TLC’s first rodeo when it comes to making sure they catch all the drama between Robyn and the rest of the polygamous family. More than once during Season 18, the camera caught Robyn making herself look bad. And whether she knew it or not, these moments have been engrained into viewers’ minds. During the early years, it felt like Robyn and Kody were often granted immunity from the editing gods as the cutting room floor spliced and diced her less savory moments. However, Season 18 showed that TLC was no longer willing to play that game.
During one of the family’s last conversations, Robyn walked away from Kody and Meri Brown in hopes of being the center of attention. The scene was painful as it became clear she didn’t want Kody and his first wife to be talking. The move was so transparent that it became comical. Instead of having Robyn’s confession fade into a scene of whimpers, Robyn looks extremely foolish and calculating. I mean, Meri was the one losing her marriage, but no, you go and make this about you, Robyn.
Robyn Is Miserable
Every Sister Wives season has shown Robyn hysterical as the season ended, praying her polygamous family stays together. But this last season just highlighted how miserable the mother of five truly is, and you know what they say: misery loves company. Nothing the first three wives could do was ever good enough for Robyn and her dream picture.
It didn’t go unnoticed that Robyn also didn’t enjoy being on screen or filming inside her house. Frankly, if she didn’t want to be on screen, she shouldn’t be getting a fat paycheck. Season 18 showed just how much Robyn was riding the coattails of the others and getting more out of the situation. The revelation blew fans’ minds since she isn’t the one opening her home to the crew or showing any vulnerability.
Robyn Shut Up Kody
Perhaps the most telling sign was how Robyn managed to cut off Kody from speaking about his feelings about Christine on her wedding day. Let’s be honest; it wasn’t going to be positive, but why else have viewers stuck it out for so long? It was to see the drama that is Kody losing his mind. It is obvious the two are not happy with the state of the family, and the theory was proven when Robyn stopped Kody short of calling out Christine literally by covering his mouth. While with any normal couple, the move would have been generous, Robyn once again came across as controlling.
Kody tried to say, “She made the accusation that I had –” Robyn stopped him in his tracks, saying, “Aren’t we just so happy for them?” The whole scene gave me the ick. But that is what Robyn does best. Kody tried to pipe up again, but Robyn kissed him, noting, “We’re just so happy for them, right? That’s what we want.” She is a leech who latched herself onto a married man three times over and then seemingly ruined the family.
Robyn never learned to normalize her emotions, and instead of befriending the rest of the family, she thought gaslighting them would be appropriate. Now, she might only have herself to blame.
