Nothing pleased fans of Sister Wives more than watching Robyn Brown and Kody Brown bicker on the latest episode of the TLC series. For the most part, the couple always presented a united front when it came to their opinions. Lately, however, Kody has had a hard time pleasing his fourth and favorite wife. Many feel the pair are going through a rough patch and wonder if they will make it to the other side.
What was Kody Brown and Robyn Brown’s fight about?
During the most recent Sister Wives episode, Kody became so upset with Robyn that he left the family home. However, the grand gesture isn’t as dramatic as you would think since he just went for a drive and returned shortly after. During the October 6th episode, tensions ran high, with the patriarch sharing, “Robyn is extremely upset that I’m not reaching out more to my children. I’m not gonna sit here and fight with you. I have a rift in our relationship caused by these people who have created the biggest rift in my life. I’m not doing that. So I just decided I need to take off.” Upon his return, Robyn explained that she wanted him to take more initiative with his older children.
But Robyn couldn’t get a word edge-wise as Kody kept cutting her off. He noted, “I’m not gonna do it with a rejection every single time,” Kody said. “I’m not abandoning my children. They have betrayed me.” Robyn stood her ground as she clapped back, “But they’re kids!” Kody wasn’t having it as he cried, “No, they’re adults. Some people think that parental-child relationships don’t have to be reciprocal, but when they’re adults, yes they do.”
Kody Brown feels betrayed by his family
As Sister Wives followers know, the episode was filmed in 2022. After years of unrest between Kody, Robyn, and the rest of the family, the polygamist clan had hit its breaking point. Kody was being held accountable for his extremely strict COVID-19 rules. Many of the family members felt that Robyn implemented the rules to keep Kody for herself, but she has denied that being the motive. Kody is also still very much dealing with the fallout of his three divorces. But Robyn is at her wit’s end as she told Kody, “I’m having a hard time not losing respect for you a little bit.” She revealed that her own biological father was absent for much of her life, and she has never forgiven him.
In her confessional, Robyn added, “If I were him, I would be calling, emailing, texting, maybe showing up, flying out there, you know, whatever.” Kody once again made the entire situation about himself, stating, “So I’ve spent a year here just lamenting the situation. When I get over that, those children who are open to me will get my attention.” The answer didn’t satisfy Robyn who revealed in her confessional, “I don’t want to judge Kody, but at the same time, I don’t think Kody should be accepting it. I think that Kody should be camping out on their doorsteps and saying, ‘Hey, you’re going to talk to me.’”
Kody Brown and Robyn Brown’s fight felt uncomfortable
I don’t know if it was Kody’s constant interrupting or lack of awareness, but the altercation felt weird. For once out of ten years, I found myself siding with Robyn. The woman was talking sense, and Kody was just oblivious to the good advice. Other viewers felt the same as one fan took to X to ask “Do you think Robyn and Kody orchestrated this scene to make the public stop hating Robyn so much?” Like Kody took one for the team?” In theory, the idea is galant, but we all know Kody would throw his own mother under the bus if it meant he didn’t have to take responsibility.
In all reality, the heart-to-heart felt forced. I was surprised at how calm Robyn remained in when she was constantly being cut off from sharing her opinion. The conversation ended with Kody saying, “I don’t try enough. I know that. I’m too hot-headed right now, Robyn. All I’ll do is more damage.” It constantly feels as if Kody loves the struggle and strife that comes from fighting with his large family. But after witnessing this particular disagreement, I think Robyn is growing tired of Kody’s holier-than-thou attitude.
