Sister Wives Fans Expose Kody and Robyn Brown: ‘Lies and Manipulation’ Fuel Backlash

For years, Sister Wives viewers have seen Kody and Robyn Brown work hard to change the public’s perception of Robyn. Once a bold figure, Robyn clashed with Kody’s other wives and their kids. Now, her image is of a meek, innocent woman. But is this sudden transformation fooling anyone?

Many fans remember Robyn’s earlier years on the TLC series when she was far from the “shy” persona Kody now insists she embodies.

Long-time viewers recall how Robyn wasn’t afraid to stir up drama, often speaking out against her fellow sister wives and their children. Now, in Season 19, Kody and Robyn are pushing a softer image of her, but some suspect it’s all part of a strategic rebranding.

One factor fueling the couple’s desperation could be the sensitive storylines unfolding this season. Some fans believe Kody and Robyn Brown’s attempt to “unify” the family, after Garrison Brown’s death, is a bid for sympathy. But many aren’t buying it.

Fans Call Out Kody & Robyn Brown’s Manipulative Tactics

Sister Wives viewers are venting their frustrations on Reddit. They accuse Kody and Robyn Brown of distorting reality for their own gain.

One Redditor didn’t hold back, saying, “Robyn can’t fathom that the viewers have her figured out and can see what a manipulative, selfish person she is. She keeps hoping she can fool everyone.” Another fan added, “What about the way she always looks up or away when she talks, or I mean lies (liar!)? It’s like she thinks no one can see through her.”

Others were quick to call out Kody Brown for constantly changing his narrative. “It seems more like Kody’s a liar and completely rewriting history,” one fan wrote. “He has a different story almost every time he opens his mouth.” Viewers are tired of the couple’s manipulations and believe they’re finally being exposed.

This backlash is compounded by Robyn’s history of complaining about being ganged up on, a claim that Kody has often supported. But fans aren’t buying the victim act. Instead, they feel the couple is grasping at straws as their polygamist empire crumbles.

Sister Wives: Is Kody and Robyn Brown’s Greedy Plan Backfiring?

Financial struggles are another reason viewers are skeptical of Kody and Robyn’s motives. With Kody now living monogamously with Robyn, their income is gone.

Janelle, Meri, and Christine are no longer contributing. The couple is facing severe financial stress. The former sister wives had been contributing to the family’s wealth, and their departure has left a noticeable hole.

In a recent episode, Janelle warned Meri about the potential consequences if Kody and Robyn can’t pay off the Coyote Pass property. “If we don’t make it, he can repossess the whole thing,” Janelle warned. Although Meri seemed unconcerned, viewers understood the implications. Losing Coyote Pass could mean none of the ex-wives would see the money they’re entitled to.

Fans suspect Kody and Robyn of valuing money over their relationships. A Redditor summed it up perfectly: “They really thought they could ice out the other wives and still keep the money train rolling. They assumed everyone was as greedy as them. Their anger over the ‘betrayal’ is funny.” It’s clear that Kody didn’t expect his wives to walk away and build independent lives.

What’s Next for Sister Wives? High-Stakes Drama and Emotional Moments

Season 19 is shaping up to be one of the most emotional yet. In the upcoming episode, “A Man After My Own Heart,” viewers will see Christine and David’s love story take a major turn. The couple goes off-roading in Moab, Utah, where David gets down on one knee and proposes.

Meanwhile, Ysabel Brown will be brought to tears as she continues to struggle with her strained relationship with Kody.

Ysabel has long felt neglected by her father, and her vulnerability will be on full display. “We’re not close at all,” she revealed back in Season 17, a sentiment that still haunts her today. As she grapples with her feelings, fans will witness another emotional showdown.

And while Christine basks in her new love, Meri shocks fans by asking Kody for help with her move to Parowan. Given the emotional neglect she’s suffered, viewers are questioning why Meri would rely on Kody for anything.
