Robyn Brown, one of the stars of the reality show Sister Wives, has recently faced accusations of being a “gold digger” who is manipulating Kody Brown to gain access to his money. Some compelling evidence has emerged that suggests she may have financial motives in her relationship.
Over time, Robyn’s behavior within the Brown family has changed, leading to suspicions of her gold-digging tendencies. When Robyn first joined the family, she seemed to integrate well with the other wives—Meri, Janelle, and Christine—despite coming from a monogamous marriage with David Preston Jessop. She embraced the polygamous lifestyle and sought a better, more stable life for herself and her three children. The plural family supported each other by caring for one another’s children, and with their help, Robyn was able to overcome her past debt and achieve financial freedom. However, financial benefits weren’t the only rewards she reaped from settling into the large family unit.
In addition to the debt relief, Robyn Brown gained fame and financial opportunities through the Sister Wives television show. As time went on, she began to subtly gain influence over Kody Brown, the shared husband. Kody’s favoritism towards Robyn became noticeable, and he provided direct support to her endeavors. For example, he stood by her side as she purchased her own home and started her business, My Sisterwife’s Closet. Her unwavering obedience and charm seemed to attract Kody’s attention, allowing her to pursue her dreams. Moreover, Robyn managed to secure a larger portion of the Coyote Pass property, despite Kody’s initial plan to divide it equally among the wives.
Behind closed doors, Robyn Brown played a pivotal role in the family dynamics. She positioned herself as the most submissive wife to Kody, especially during the major divisions caused by the pandemic. This allowed her to become the favored wife, while Kody spent less and less time with his other wives. This neglect left Meri, Janelle, and Christine feeling unwanted and unheard. Robyn was content with having Kody to herself and did not encourage him to spend equal time with the other wives. This unequal treatment ultimately led Christine to leave the marriage, followed by Janelle and Meri.
Allegedly, Robyn orchestrated various incidents that contributed to the family’s unraveling. The Tell-Alls from the last season of Sister Wives revealed her involvement in the catfishing incident with Meri Brown. There are also claims that she intentionally damaged Meri’s wedding ring, which strongly influenced Meri’s subsequent divorce.
By capturing Kody’s attention and isolating him from the other wives, Robyn gained significant influence and “buying power” within the family. In 2023, Kody’s daughter Gwen Brown spoke out about Robyn and her father’s “excessive” spending habits, stating that they often lived beyond their means.
It is suggested that Robyn entered the family quietly, but once she gained Kody’s trust, she manipulated him behind the scenes. Along with the initial benefit of becoming debt-free, she managed to acquire more land and now resides in a luxurious mansion, filling it with all the material possessions she desires. These circumstances have fueled rumors and accusations that Robyn may indeed be a gold digger using her relationship with Kody to secure financial advantages for herself.
