Moments When Fans Had Enough Of Robyn Brown
Sister Wives fans have always loathed Robyn Brown. Some of her moments on the series have provoked viewers and made them angry.
Since the show's 2010 debut, fans of Sister Wives have loved to hate the youngest sister wife, Robyn Brown, and it's time to highlight moments when she really made fans see red. The show began with a large portion of the storyline focusing on Kody Brown and Robyn's courtship and eventual marriage. Robyn's integration into the Brown family (along with her three children from her first marriage) made for interesting drama. As she established herself as the fourth sister wife, it added a lot of entertainment value to the premiere season.
Sixteen seasons later, Robyn continues to be the source of much conflict for the often-controversial plural family. Whether it be Kody's lack of attention to his other wives in favor of Robyn, her constant crying, or her seemingly self-absorbed behavior, viewers have found plenty of reasons to dislike her over the years. Here are some of her worst moments from the 16-year Sister Wives run thus far.
Her Family Portrait
During season 6, Kody's adoption of Robyn's three children from her previous marriage became official. To commemorate the event, Robyn had a portrait commissioned depicting a young Kody posing with the three children. The portrait was an homage to a moment that did not exist, with Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna being far younger than they were when Robyn and Kody met. While the other wives marveled at the picture, even proclaiming it "a masterpiece" and "breathtakingly wonderful," fans were not as moved. Many felt it was a contrived attempt by Robyn to erase her children's natural history with their biological father. Her revisionist history ploy may have scored her Brownie points with the family at the time, but it did not help her to win over audiences.
Asking Her Kids To Call Kody "Daddy"
The portrait should not have come as a surprise. Right from the start, Robyn seemed to try and to replace her previous husband David Preston Jessop as her children's father. Many viewers would rank one of Robyn's season 1 moments as particularly cringe-worthy, as she insisted that her kids refer to Kody as "Daddy." At the time, her children were 10, 8 and 6, and well aware of their biological paternity. Viewers didn't like Robyn's insistence that they begin calling Kody "Daddy" when they had an established relationship with their own father. This was confusing and, in fans' eyes, potentially damaging to her children. Not to mention the fact that Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna's interactions with Kody had been fairly limited before their mother married into the large and blended family. Many viewers felt that pushing them to call him "Dad" right away was Robyn pushing her own agenda, rather than focusing on what was best for them.
Equating Her Pandemic Situation To Her Sister Wives'
Even lately, the fourth Mrs. Kody Brown is still upsetting Sister Wives fans with her self-centered antics. Season 16 focused heavily on the family's struggles with pandemic life. Kody laid out strict guidelines and protocols for each household to follow, to reduce each family's likelihood of contracting Covid-19. In one recent episode, Robyn whimpered about how hard the situation has been on all of them, implying that her challenges have been the same as the other wives' struggles. This did not sit well with audiences, who have been quick to point out that Robyn's living conditions were much more ideal than those of Meri, Janelle, or Christine Brown's. After all, she was living with Kody on a day to day basis. Of all of the wives, Robyn was the only one still enjoying benefits due to her intimacy with her husband. This made her situation less difficult to endure.
