How Robyn’s Need for Control Shattered the ‘Sister Wives’ Family

Sister Wives promised viewers a glimpse inside a strong polygamist family, featuring four wives, one husband, and a bunch of kids building a life together. But the moment Robyn joined the Brown family in Season 1, everything changed – and not just because they started airing their dirty laundry on reality TV. Robyn was younger, had three children of her own, and needed legal protection. From day one, Kody didn’t hide his favoritism towards Robyn, and it immediately created tension with his other wives. He even divorced his first wife, Meri, so he could legally marry Robyn and adopt her kids.
