Meri and Robyn Brown from Sister Wives have had a long-standing battle over who plays the victim card better, and fans are tired of it. The two wives of Kody Brown often feel like they are shunned by their large polygamous family, and look for sympathy from fans. Now, as viewers hopefully prepare for a new season, they are trying their best to figure out which wife is actually the more prominent victim.
To many Sister Wives viewers, it is hard to ignore the fact that Kody comes across as a wolf in sheep's clothing. The 53-year-old often makes it clear that he couldn't care less about his wives, with the exception of Robyn. The two have currently been having what appears to be a monogamous relationship, while the rest of the spouses try to figure out what to do with their lives. Even though he lost one wife, Christine Brown, when she decided to move back to Utah, Kody still has to try and understand the feelings of his other three wives. Currently, it looks like he is ignoring Meri, and only has room in his heart for his fourth and favorite wife, Robyn.
When it comes to Sister Wives, fans have strong opinions as to whether Meri or Robyn is the bigger victim. Some even took to a Reddit thread added by autumn7689 to voice their concerns about the two women. Many followers took a stand against Kody's first wife, Meri, noting that the mother of one is a victim of her own decisions. Thread participants believe that Meri chose the polygamous lifestyle even after Kody made it clear that they would never be intimate again. Many fans of the show think that Meri indulges in self-pity, and wish she would find something or someone to fulfill her life in a meaningful way.
Others feel that Robyn has honed her manipulation tactics. Fans compared the two mothers, noting that Meri is a professional victim, while Robyn has based her life and "marriage on being a victim." The fan even pointed out that Robyn's own children and mother see her as a victim, remarking that she uses martyrdom like a "superpower." Robyn's performance at the Tel-All seemed to put her over the edge, making her the winner, since Kody's fourth wife still has an audience to play to. Viewers believe that Kody bends over backward to try and make Robyn happy. Some go so far as to question whether or not Kody was the real victim in the family dynamic.
Robyn and Kody were recently spotted out on a date, where they danced in a restaurant. Sister Wives found their actions a bit hypocritical, since the patriarch was so strict about his COVID-19 rules with the rest of the family. For the most part, Meri has kept to herself, and has been posting to her social media about her trips. Fans are waiting for the rest of the wives to leave Kody, but for now, it looks like he is still stuck with one woman that he wants, and two that he doesn't love.
