Kody Brown garners plenty of criticism for being self-centered in Sister Wives, but fans think the patriarch's fourth and favorite spouse, Robyn Brown, is equally narcissistic. Although some fans believe Robyn shouldn't be judged as harshly as Kody is because she isn't the head of the Brown family's plural marriage, others argue that Robyn has demonstrated herself to be the most self-involved spouse featured in Sister Wives. From her delusional explanation of her sister wives' perception of her to her assertion that she's the perfect polygamous partner, here's why Sister Wives fans think Robyn's just as narcissistic as Kody.
Kody has accrued heaps of judgment from Sister Wives' audience due to his tendency to prioritize his ego over the wellbeing of his family. Specifically, fans think Kody has proven himself to be narcissistic in his relationships with his first three wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine. Most notably, Kody selfishly neglected his first trio of spiritual spouses when he married Robyn in 2010. Kody made no effort to conceal his preference for Robyn, but what's worse has been his inability to own up to his wives' criticism. Kody's ego is easily bruised, but the fourth sister wife's confessions in the Brown family's book have Sister Wives fans convinced that Robyn's just as narcissistic as Kody.
In 2012, Kody and his wives published Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage, and although the book is a decade old, fans believe the Brown family's confessions are relevant today. One especially salient excerpt from the book revealed Robyn's belief that she inspires her fellow sister wives. Robyn explained that she's aware of how prominent a role jealousy can play in plural marriages and has done her best to teach Meri, Janelle, and Christine how to overcome their envy. A Reddit user noted one of Robyn's self-centered passages, sharing, "Robyn educating her sister wives... 'Eventually, I showed [Meri, Janelle, and Christine] through example how to talk things out reasonably.'" Fans agree that Robyn put herself on a moral pedestal in this enlightening excerpt. This glimpse into her psyche made fans think Robyn's just as narcissistic as Kody.
Although this quote is only a piece of the illuminating confessions Robyn made in Becoming Sister Wives, fans think this sentence speaks to her self-absorbed behavior in Sister Wives' decade on television. By asserting that she learned the secret to evading jealousy in a polygamous relationship and taught Meri, Janelle, and Christine the secret to her sanctitude, Sister Wives fans think Robyn demonstrated just how into herself she truly is. A viewer asserted, "Robyn’s ego is right up there with Kody’s." Just as Kody has been so sure he is the perfect husband and father, fans believe Robyn's excerpt demonstrates that she too saw herself as the ideal sister wife that had more insight than Meri, Janelle, and Christine who had been married to Kody for years. Another commenter cemented, "[Robyn's] as narcissistic and self-centered as Kody is."
Robyn might not be as responsible for the end of the Brown family's plural marriage as Kody is, but Sister Wives viewers believe Robyn is as in love with herself as Kody Brown is with himself. Based on her self-assured comments on how to be a perfect sister wife, fans think Robyn is just as narcissistic as Kody. Regrettably, the past 10 years of Sister Wives have exhibited just how far from flawless Robyn is.
