Robyn Brown’s recent actions on Sister Wives have drawn sharp criticism from fans. They accuse her of manipulating Janelle Brown, her co-wife.
As Janelle was breaking up with Kody Brown, Robyn suddenly got involved. She tried to keep Janelle in the family. Then, she downplayed Janelle’s claims about owed money.
At first, Robyn seemed set on convincing Kody to get Janelle back. She hoped to rekindle her interest in building on Coyote Pass. Fans suspect Robyn had her own motives.
One viewer said, “Robyn was pushing for Janelle to stay, not for the family’s sake, but because of the money.” Janelle, who had sunk her money into Coyote Pass and Robyn’s house, had clearly had enough. Her only interest now is to sell the land and recover what she put into the family investments.
Once Robyn realized Janelle wasn’t coming back, her tone shifted. Suddenly, the money became a point of contention. In her confessional, Robyn seemed to brush off Janelle’s financial contributions, much to the anger of fans.
One viewer said, “Robyn flipped the script as soon as Janelle asked for her share—it’s clear she doesn’t want to give back what’s owed.”
No Robyn. He should keep reaching out. He feels rejected? Suck it up. It’s not up to his children to fix their relationship. It’s up to him. He’s the parent. Like Janelle said, you move heaven and earth — and your own ego — to have a relationship with your children. #SisterWives pic.twitter.com/7Sa2CKhJ07

Sister Wives: The Fight Over Robyn’s House
What really set fans off was Robyn Brown’s latest explanation regarding her luxury home. For years, it’s been known as “Robyn’s house,” purchased under the justification that Robyn and her children needed stability.
Janelle even said she requested to have her name and the other wives’ names on the deed, but Kody denied it, ensuring the home remained solely in Robyn’s name.
Now, Robyn’s story has completely changed. In this week’s episode, she described the house as a “family clubhouse” that was never truly hers.
She claimed that once the family moves to Coyote Pass, the home will belong to everyone. This left viewers dumbfounded, with one commenting, “Robyn’s acting like she was just a caretaker of the house all along. It’s so convenient now that Janelle wants her money back.”
Robyn Brown’s attempt to rewrite the past has frustrated fans. Janelle funded both Robyn’s house and the Coyote Pass land. “This is a classic case of backtracking,” another viewer noted. “Robyn’s trying to justify why she doesn’t owe Janelle anything—it’s so obvious.”
Meri, this is how you tell that Robyn doesn’t have a good heart. It’s not confusing. You give Janelle back all the money she’s contributed. I sure hope what’s been said & shown in the past on the show helps Janelle get her money back if she got an attorney. #SisterWives pic.twitter.com/b7WNSyttDp

Sister Wives: A Dream Deferred and a Family Divided
The saga of Coyote Pass has become a symbol of the broken Brown family. Originally intended to be the site of their dream homes, it has now become a point of contention and disappointment.
Since its 2018 purchase, the land has remained undeveloped. The project has stalled due to financial issues and family divisions.
Janelle Brown’s primary focus is now on selling her share of Coyote Pass to recover the money she invested. While Robyn initially tried to persuade her to stay and build, it became clear Janelle was done.
After years of investing her time and money into the family’s collective dreams, she’s finally ready to move on—and fans are cheering her on. “Janelle deserves every cent she put into that land and Robyn’s house,” said one fan. “Robyn is only looking out for herself at this point.”
Kody, meanwhile, seems more disengaged than ever, leaving Robyn to manage the fallout. His favoritism toward Robyn and her kids has been clear for years.
It’s one reason Janelle Brown, along with Christine, has distanced herself from the family. As viewers watch the unraveling of the Brown family, it’s evident that Coyote Pass is no longer a shared dream—it’s a battleground.
Sister Wives: Fans Applaud Janelle’s Strength, Criticize Robyn’s Manipulation
As the latest episode wrapped up, fans couldn’t help but express their admiration for Janelle Brown’s strength and independence. After years of dealing with Kody’s favoritism toward Robyn, Janelle has taken control of her life.
Polygamy was complex and difficult. “Janelle is done playing games,” one fan tweeted. “She’s standing up for what she’s owed, and I love to see it.”
At the same time, viewers were quick to call out Robyn’s attempts to hold onto power within the family.
From changing her story about the house to dismissing Janelle’s claims, Robyn’s actions have only deepened the divide. “Robyn is gaslighting everyone,” one fan pointed out. “She’s pretending like she’s done nothing wrong when it’s obvious she’s trying to keep Janelle from getting her fair share.”
