Since Sister Wives season one, Kody Brown has been accused of preferring his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, and fans find some of his favoritism shocking. Many viewers have turned against Robyn for manipulating the rest of the Brown family, despite the fact that she often calls herself the scapegoat of the family.
Fans saw Kody's infatuation with Sister Wives' Robyn when the show started airing in 2010, when he was leaving his other wives, including a pregnant Christine Brown, to court Robyn. He even broke his own personal code by kissing Robyn before they were married, a move that angered his three other spouses. Since then, the remaining wives (Christine left) have learned to work as a team, but many fans have accused Robyn of turning on the tears when she does not get her way. The family's division became clearer than ever as each wife was forced to deal with Kody's strict COVID-19 pandemic rules.
One of the biggest examples of Kody favoring his youngest wife was when he divorced Meri Brown, the only woman he was legally married to, in order to marry Robyn. Meri and Kody had been married since 1990, but by the time Robyn came into the picture, Kody and Meri were having many relationship problems. Many fans think that Kody asking for a divorce signaled the end of their relationship. Kody then married Robyn in order to be able to legally adopt her kids. Fans understood Kody wanting to adopt Robyn's children but doubted he would go to the same lengths for any of his other wives.
Sister Wives began in Utah, but the entire Brown family later relocated to Las Vegas. After that, they moved to Flagstaff, which is likely because Robyn's son Dayton Brown was going to school at Northern Arizona University. Kody was willing to move his entire family to a new state for Robyn, but he would not consider moving for any of his other wives, which is one of the reasons why Christine left him.
One of the central issues in recent seasons of Sister Wives was the impact of the pandemic on their large family, as each wife had her own house and rules. Kody and Robyn are often a united front against the other wives, and one of his most apparent examples of favoritism was the fact that he spent the most time with her during the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only has Robyn been getting most of his time, but she revealed that she is the only one who has an intimate relationship with Kody. Meri said in the Sister Wives Tell-All that she and Kody have not been intimate in a decade.
