Sister Wives star Robyn Brown seemed to peel back a few layers while she appeared in the wedding special episodes that TLC rolls out over the next two weeks. The sobbing noises and wiping of her eyes no longer hamper her from speaking clearly. What she has to say to the camera and Kody Brown comes out very clear.
Sister Wives: Robyn Brown In Charge
Fans surmised for a long time now that Robyn Brown calls the shots. But during Christine Brown‘s wedding special, it looks like evidence of this comes to the screen.
When Robyn and Kody are together on the Sister Wives’ screen, something different happens. Each time Kody Brown says something, he seems to look at Robyn for approval.
The one scene making the rounds on social media from the preview of this week’s show seems to demonstrate who is really in charge. Kody fancies himself the leader of the family. He also mentioned several times in the past that his wives needed to follow his lead, even when they didn’t want to.
The original three Sister Wives did a fairly good job of that in the beginning. Or at least the editing made it look that way. But, as the seasons rolled along, it seemed the patriarch model started to unwind.
At one point a few seasons back, Janelle Brown said she never went in for that patriarch vision Kody was selling. She cringed at the word. But Kody said he was drawn more to Robyn Brown only because she was loyal and followed his lead. Or at least that is what the Sister Wives patriarch called it at the time.
Does Robyn Follow Kody’s Patriarch Model?
A while back, the Sister Wives shared husband explained that Robyn Brown was willing to follow his direction when the other wives were not. So, the man with the golden ringlets called Robyn Brown his loyal wife. So, he says this is why they are so close.
But that was only the first excuse. Now that his three other wives left, a new motto pops up. A motto that he repeats a few times – he only loves Robyn. That said, he seemed to slip up about the love factor when speaking on-screen during Christine and David Woolley‘s Sister Wives wedding special.
Sister Wives: The Word ‘Love’ Gets Tossed Around
Kody likely made Robyn feel special by confessing she was the only woman ever he loved. But now it seems to be rather flimsy after he talks about another love. Kody is not done blaming Christine for everything under the sun that’s gone wrong with this plural marriage.
His latest gripe about his ex-wife as she marries doesn’t make Robyn sound so special. He tells the camera that he was “in love” with another woman before Robyn came on board, and Christine ruined that for him.
She would not let Kody marry this woman, which would have made her wife #4. But he had already described Robyn as his soulmate and the one woman he’d ever loved. Now there was another one.
So, when Robyn comes on the screen during the wedding special, she looks different. The viewers suggest on social media that it’s easy for the Sister Wives viewers to see that she has control over him today. She even covered his mouth when he said something about accusations made by his ex-wife.
Where Did Robyn’s Quick Change Come From?
Maybe Robyn Brown sees what the fans see when it comes to Kody tossing the word love around these days. Or it could be that her new lease on life as a solo wife means she is safe to show this control over her husband. He may be frantic about losing his last and only wife. If so, then Robyn might find it easier today to step into the driver’s seat.
But, for whatever reason, viewers see a change. Today, the fans see an overconfident and somewhat snarky Robyn Brown emerging. This was a woman who cried herself a river (however dry) during more than a decade of this TLC series. But today it looks like she’s taken the helm of what’s left of her Sister Wives marriage.
