Robyn Brown of Sister Wives never thought twice when Kody asked her to follow strict rules, proving she understood how dangerous the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic was going to be. Many have criticized the patriarch for his swift ability to block out the outside world, but some would argue he made the right call. Robyn also did her job by following the CDC guidelines.
During the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak back in March 2020, Kody made a promise to his family that he would do everything in his power to keep his polygamous clan safe. Despite an immense amount of pushback, two of Kody's four wives, Meri and Robyn, understood his warning and lived by his rules for over two years. Fans felt Kody was working with an ulterior motive mainly because he was able to live at Robyn's home for the entire time. While the Brown family may think that it's Robyn's desire to claim Kody for herself, it could also be that Robyn understood what was at stake.
Rarely anyone who watches Sister Wives is a fan of Robyn's, but something has to be said about her dedication to staying healthy while everyone else around her was getting sick. After watching the recent season, there was no doubt that Robyn was the most sensible when it came to the pandemic and easily transmissible virus. During season 15, Janelle, who may have moved to Coyote Pass, took her opinions so far as to say that being asked to provide proof of a vaccine was like being "stopped by the Gestapo." Not only was that comment extremely insensitive it also was way off the mark.
Robyn was happy to wear her mask whenever they went in public and even would spray down her packages and groceries with Lysol. Robyn made it clear that before she allowed her family to go back out into the world, she wanted to know more about the virus that was killing so many people. As Kody started to make family decisions, Robyn saw that if she wanted Ari and Sol to see their father, she would have to fall in line, ultimately sacrificing her current lifestyle for the new lockdown way of living.
In the end, Robyn may have decided to follow Kody's rules due to selfishly wanting to be around him more, but she also morally made the right decision. Even if Sister Wives fans don't like Robyn, the reality star knew it was not safe to be around others as they all had the potential to spread COVID-19. By holding up in her home with Kody, she kept a lot of people within her own family and community safe. Robyn can't be faulted for that.
