Robyn Brown Is The Most Hated Reality Star Of All Time (How It Happened)
Robyn Brown has been the most hated star on Sister Wives for years. She came into the family as Kody Brown’s fourth and favorite wife, which didn’t go over well with the first three wives, who had already made a life for themselves. Robyn was much younger and seemed naive about what to expect from a polygamous family. The TLC villain often seemed too sweet, but once the seasons started to get harder, the layers of Robyn peeled back, showing a calculating woman who wanted monogamy.
Since Garrison Brown‘s untimely passing, Robyn’s social media has been bombarded with hate. Trolls have not felt the need to hold back during this difficult time, placing most of the blame on Robyn. While I don’t think that is very fair, some haters seem to enjoy leaving mean comments for the mother of five to read.
Fans Blame Robyn
Why Robyn hasn’t turned off her IG comments is beyond me. The Sister Wives star hasn’t posted on the grid since 2019, but followers are flocking to her channel. The death of Garrison came as a mighty blow, especially when it was revealed the 25-year-old shot himself in his Flagstaff home. Immediately, followers started to tell Robyn that she was the reason for his depression. The comments have been self-righteous and nasty at best with fan writing, “Heaven will not be opening its gates for you. We all see you for what you are.”
Another follower added, “The perennial victim with the crocodile tears. Even God can’t save you.” Many Sister Wives fans felt that the death of Garrison was the last straw and are now urging TLC to cancel the show. It is doubtful this will happen because we know that cameras were filming when Garrison passed. One last hater decided to tell of Robyn, writing, “Every single child in your surroundings has suffered parental alienation, including your own children, when you took them away from the love of their father. You destroy everything in your path!! If you don’t want people wasting their time on you, then leave public life and get a regular job. Oh yeah, us butting into your life is what pays your wages.”
Turmoil Between Robyn and Browns
Robyn has been a thorn in the Brown’s side for some time now. Between crying over the lack of bond between her fellow sister wives and manipulating Kody, the polygamous family quickly learned there wasn’t enough room for them and Robyn. Over the years, Robyn has made it quite obvious that she needs things done her way, with Kody often taking her side and pushing his own children away. There were numerous times Kody ditched his family responsibility in favor of Robyn and her five children.
The latest seasons showed the fallout between Kody and his older children, specifically Garrison and Gabriel Brown. The tensions started during the worldwide pandemic when the father of 18 implemented some pretty strict COVID-19 rules. The older sons were annoyed with the because they still wanted to see their girlfriends, so Kody cut them off with the support of Robyn. The polygamous patriarch wanted the boys kicked out and refused to talk to them. Now, with Garrison’s suicide, many are blaming Robyn for coming in and upsetting the family dynamic.
Kody Favored Robyn
It has become painfully obvious how much Kody has actually favored Robyn. For example, he uprooted his entire family from their cul-de-sac in Las Vegas and moved to Flagstaff, AZ in order for Robyn’s son to go to college. Kody never felt his first three wives were loyal enough and often punished them for wanting a bit of freedom. Kody loved to say “It’s not about a favorite, it’s about finding favor” but we all could read between the lines.
During their marriage, Kody asked Meri Brown for a legal divorce so he could marry Robyn. Spoiler, she granted his request. The family should have nipped Kody’s favor for Robyn in the bud early on. During Season 1, Kody was caught driving hours a week to see Robyn while Christine Brown was heavily pregnant. TLC cameras even caught them kissing, which was a big no-no since Kody stated he had waited for their wedding day with his first three marriages. There were early signs that Robyn was going to cause trouble, and sadly, now that Garrison is gone, most are no longer holding their opinions back.
Did Robyn Brown Ruin Meri, Janelle & Christine Brown’s Lives?
Does Robyn Brown Deserve The “Homewrecking” Label?
Did the now-exes have their lives ruined by Robyn, or did they continue to believe in a man when there was no logical reason to? By doing so, did they initiate their own downfalls? Maybe so. In the narrative of Robyn as ultimate villain, homewrecker and general Jezebel, there are some little problems – plot holes, if you will. In TLC‘s clip, as seen above, Kody’s accused of only seeing things his way. He’s the one who’s given Robyn all of her power. Doesn’t that make him the bad guy? It should, right?
It’s easy to see Robyn as a destroyer, but the truth is more complicated. At the root of it, there wasn’t much to destroy. The family fabric was frayed to the point of completely unraveling. Think of the Brown family as if it’s a tapestry – every slight, from a petty offense to a serious breach of conduct, is woven into the fabric. Different moods and emotions could be the colors in the tapestry. Over time, the different skeins of various hues created a picture, and that picture wasn’t pretty.
Now, picture sunlight and time acting on the tapestry and degrading it. The colors fade. The skeins grow worn and old. The tapestry, never a work of art, is now practically in tatters. Such is the Brown family. Its dynamic was toxic and the “death” of the Brown family was a blessing in disguise. People are now free to go and create tapestries (portraits of their lives) which have authentic beauty.
The Browns don’t need to live in a past that wasn’t so perfect anyway.
Robyn is hated, and in many ways, it’s a witch hunt. She’s a human being. So is everyone else involved in this tragic tale. Everyone has value and everyone’s feelings matter. No one is solely responsible for what happened. No one exists in that kind of vacuum. So, it’s time for everyone to move on and make peace with the events that have transpired.
Robyn and Kody move on together for now. The exes move in their own directions. Hopefully, over time, there will be a more detailed understanding of everyone’s motivations and personalities, but maybe that’s wishful thinking. Sister Wives‘ Robyn’s been wearing a sort of scarlet letter for a long time, and if fans have their way, she always will.
Sister Wives‘ Robyn may have some beautiful character traits which go ignored. She’s been cast as the antagonist and no one wants to perceive her as a hero. However, she’s the only one who really understands Kody. That’s why she’s still his wife. Whether he can make her happy as they navigate all the hate is another question.
The best thing that they can do is to live day by day and choose happiness. They don’t need to be overly concerned with what the world thinks of them. If they are, the haters win. Kody lets it all get to him and that’s the last thing he should do. Robyn’s stronger despite her crying jags. Hopefully, her strength can keep him going. Their lives have changed radically, and he leans on Sister Wives‘ Robyn, maybe too much.
