When Sister Wives began, Robyn Brown was introduced as the woman who would strengthen the family. Years later, many fans believe she’s the only one who truly benefited from its destruction.

Online backlash against Robyn has exploded as the Brown family continues to disintegrate. While Christine, Janelle, and Meri have all moved on — emotionally and physically — Robyn remains firmly by Kody’s side.

Viewers can’t help but notice the contrast. Christine is rebuilding her life from scratch. Janelle has openly admitted to financial uncertainty. Meri has quietly stepped away after years of emotional distance. And Robyn? She still has the marriage, the house, and Kody’s full attention.

That disparity has led to a growing belief among fans that Robyn “won” Sister Wives — even if unintentionally.

Robyn has repeatedly insisted she never wanted special treatment and never asked for favoritism. She often portrays herself as misunderstood and overwhelmed by the family’s collapse. But critics argue that regardless of her intentions, the end result tells a very different story.

Many fans point to Robyn’s legal marriage to Kody as a turning point. Once she became his legal wife, they believe the balance of power shifted permanently. Financial decisions, living arrangements, and emotional priorities all seemed to follow.

Social media has been ruthless, with viewers dissecting old episodes and pointing out moments they now interpret differently. Scenes that once looked emotional are being re-read as strategic. Whether fair or not, the court of public opinion has turned sharply against Robyn.

As Sister Wives moves forward, Robyn’s role in the family’s collapse remains one of the most hotly debated topics — and one that refuses to fade.
