Every woman who’s been rejected in favor of another female seems to consider Sister Wives star Robyn Brown the enemy. She triggers them, bringing out deep-seated rage. Robyn has become the conduit for so much negativity and aggression. Sister Wives fans treat Robyn like she’s the Antichrist. While she deserves some of the shade, the ire that’s directed at the petite brunette is out of control. Robyn’s like the perfect princess or the homecoming queen or something that a lot of women don’t like – they can’t relate to her. People want to cut her down. They don’t want her to be happy.
Sure, there are probably men who don’t like Robyn either, but it seems to be women who really go for the jugular. To them, Robyn’s the destroyer of a once-happy family. Whether the Brown family was ever truly happy is up for debate. Kody’s technically the decision-maker but martyr Robyn’s the power behind the throne. As the iron fist in the velvet glove, Robyn operates behind the scenes, influencing a man who’s often very weak-willed. As she sways Kody so easily and so often, Robyn’s perceived as the villain.
Robyn Entered The Brown Family And Started To Ruin It
Was The Brown Family Really Happy Before Robyn Brown Married Kody?
The key argument against Robyn is that she ruined something pure and beautiful. However, on closer analysis, the family may never have been sacred or happy. Kody never gave his heart to the three wives he married before Robyn. He always planned to add more – so, in fact, he was always on the prowl. Since he wasn’t content with three caring wives, he wasn’t truly devoted to the wives he had. They could feel that something wasn’t right.
There were probably a lot of red flags that Meri, Christine and Janelle noticed but disregarded. A woman will almost always have a sixth sense about a man. Usually, a woman’s intuition is correct.
In a culture of patriarchy, it’s often easier to blame the “other woman” than to take a cool-headed and realistic look at the situation. Assigning all blame to a woman who “ruined” a relationship is an example of flawed reasoning. Kody was the motor here – he chose Robyn, he decided to neglect his other wives. He made choices and Robyn’s the person he chose. He wasn’t wrong to choose her – she was the best match for him. They’ve been together for years. However, it’s Robyn who gets most of the hate. People put it all on her.
Now, taking a look at the other wives’ character traits, it makes a lot of sense that he preferred Robyn. For example, Christine was openly extremely jealous, and in the context of a plural marriage, that kind of conduct just doesn’t make sense. There were multiple wives – it wasn’t a monogamous situation. Therefore, Christine’s out of control jealousy was inappropriate. In terms of Janelle, she tried too hard to be just like Kody – she seemed to adopt his interests and, like him, functioned as the family’s breadwinner. Yes, they’d go camping and do things that they both enjoyed, but it wasn’t totally passionate.
If something wasn’t missing, Kody wouldn’t have gone looking for a new wife.
Christine was the wife who was next in line. Meri was the very first. She believed in polygamy too. However, she and Kody were very incompatible. Meri wasn’t ultra-feminine and that’s what Kody likes. He enjoys a sort of innocence and wouldn’t want a partner who’s too much like him. He wants someone more vulnerable that he can protect. When Meri began cheating on Kody, she showed some “masculine energy” – she was being forward as Robyn would never be. By breaking rules and being bad, she was just too different from his preferred type. She was too similar to Kody.
So, out of the four choices provided, Kody chose Robyn. She was very feminine. Robyn wasn’t aggressive – she was romantic. She was very different from Kody, which allowed him to tap into his protectiveness. He became romantic also. Robyn made him happy for a long time – for years, in fact. They were like two peas in a pod. While they seem less happy now, their relationship was unforgettable. It was a romance with a lot of heat, communication and meaning. However, now, Kody has changed and so has Robyn. They’re still a duo but maybe they’re not meant to be. Some things don’t last forever.
With all of this in mind, is Robyn really the evil one? Was Kody’s choice really so wrong? These questions are difficult to answer. Christine was destined to get over him very quickly. So maybe her love wasn’t as strong as it should have been. Meri clung to him, hoping to extend their spiritual union, but was that for love? It could have been for money. Janelle seemed to love Kody the most, but he says she’s primarily interested in his body. Robyn cares more about his mind and emotions.
In fact, Robyn’s interest in Kody’s thoughts and personality bind him to her. She is on a different level, understanding him in a way that Meri, Janelle and Christine never could. Robyn sees the beauty and the ugliness in Kody’s mind. She sees everything. Everyone has a drive to be understood, whether they’re good or bad. Robyn could provide this and that fascinated Kody.
With Robyn, Kody could reveal himself and know that she was really seeing him.
Robyn Brown Cried Crocodile Tears While Secretly Acting Against The Other Wives
Robyn Brown Deserves Shade For Being Passive-Aggressive
So, Robyn gets more hate than she deserves, but she deserves some of it. She saw the issues with the fellow sister wives and didn’t ease any of them. In a way, Robyn’s very black and white. She wants devotion, even as she pretends to be “cool” with certain things. She will not tolerate any deviations from her ideals. So, she can be a very tough cookie. It’s more than possible that Robyn wanted monogamy with Kody the entire time that she was in the plural marriage. All of her covert actions were designed to wipe out the competition so she could live her way. By taking this harsh approach, she became known as the queen of passive aggression.
