‘Sister Wives:’ TLC Attempts to Soften Robyn Brown’s Image as Heartbreaking Episodes Unfold

<p id=”par-1_63″>Season 19 of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sister-wives/”><em>Sister Wives</em> </a>continues its emotional rollercoaster as the Brown family navigates tragedy, instability, and the complete dissolution of their polygamist family. However, one family member appears to be getting a rebrand. Is TLC attempting to soften Robyn Brown’s image as the most disliked of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sister-wives-kody-brown-sickening-description-terrible-relationships.html/?swcfpc=1″>Kody Brown’s wives</a> as viewers await some of the most heartbreaking episodes in the series’ history?</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-tlc-orchestrates-a-robyn-brown-rebrand-after-18-seasons-of-questionable-behavior”>TLC orchestrates a Robyn Brown rebrand after 18 seasons of questionable behavior</h2>

<p id=”par-2_35″>Historically, viewers have watched Robyn and Kody Brown quietly dismantle the Brown family. It was clear from season one that Robyn and her children were prioritized over Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown and their children.</p>

<p id=”par-3_26″>At first, Robyn maintained a stance of family unity. However, as the seasons progressed, she acted as a victim and Kody rushed to her defense. </p>

<p id=”par-4_43″>Around season 15, the series reframed Kody and Robyn Brown as a monogamist couple, even though he remained spiritually married to Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown. Robyn maintained she didn’t discourage Kody’s relationships with his other wives, but her actions told another story.</p>

<p id=”par-5_28″>The pandemic broke the Brown family, and Kody distanced himself even further. Robyn, Kody, and their children became one family and the remainder of the Browns were outsiders.</p>

<p id=”par-6_32″>Robyn’s hostility toward how she was publicly perceived was visible during season 17’s Tell-All. She blasted her sister wives’ reaction to her relationship with Kody by saying they “handed him to her.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_54″>As Janelle and Christne’s <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sister-wives-kody-brown-kids-backseat-ego-except-one-mvp.html/?swcfpc=1″>adult children began to speak out</a> against Robyn and Kody during seasons 17 and 18, public perception of Robyn was forever altered. Garrison Brown’s death in early 2024 further dismantled Robyn’s public image, as he was critical of both her and his father in several episodes of the TLC series.</p>

<p id=”par-8_28″>Therefore, viewer backlash demanded TLC soften Robyn’s image from a homewrecker to a woman trying to unify their family. But are their attempts too little too late? </p>

<p id=”par-9_28″>Throughout season 19, production appears to be pulling back from featuring Robyn Brown. Thus far she’s had two key scenes where she was prominently featured with Kody. </p>

<p id=”par-10_37″>In one, the couple stood on their Coyote Pass property. Robyn realized any dream she had of living on the land was gone. A second featured Robyn encouraging Kody to spend more time with his estranged children.</p>

<p id=”par-11_47″>That scene in particular hit hard in light of Garrison Brown’s death. The scene appeared to be staged, as a way to shift the blame off of Robyn and onto Kody as a negligent parent of the children <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/janelle-brown-unleashes-kody-brown-sister-wives-reaches-breaking-point.html/?swcfpc=1″>he shared with Janelle</a>, Meri, and Christine Brown. </p>

<p id=”par-12_22″>But is all of this for the cameras? Viewers appear to think so and spoke out on the social media site, <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/SisterWives/comments/1ggcem6/does_anyone_else_feel_like_robins_got_the_ick/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a>.</p>

<p id=”par-13_56″>“I don’t think Robyn cares one bit about Kody or his relationship with his children. Everything we have seen this season is nothing more than a Hail Mary to try to rehabilitate her reputation. It feels like we are now watching Robyn‘s media exit strategy play out; Kody’s the bad one, not her,” wrote one viewer.</p>

<p id=”par-14_57″>A second viewer claimed, “Kody and Robyn have seen the, now countless, times that Robyn has been exposed as the source of the family falling apart by both the children and OG3. This scene was totally set up to try to repair Robyn’s reputation and image and to counteract the widespread belief that she destroyed the family.”</p>

<p id=”par-15_38″>“To this day she has no relationship with any of the other children. Don’t listen to her words, she says a lot of things. Look at her actions. Actions always speak louder than words,” concluded a third Redditor.</p>

<p id=”par-16_27″>Typically, TLC films a tell-all at the season’s conclusion. It allows the stars of <em>Sister Wives</em> to react and respond to specific moments captured by cameras. </p>

<p id=”par-17_34″>After years of filming together, the family has taped their segments separately for the past several seasons. However, viewers have been highly critical of how the family is handled with kid gloves during questioning.</p>

<p id=”par-18_44″>In light of Garrison Brown’s death, and Christine and Kody’s legal issues, this season could be the first where there will be no tell-all at its conclusion. Or, the tell-all questions will be so sanitized that viewers may not get the resolutions they seek.</p>

<p id=”par-19_34″>Whatever the case, Robyn Brown will likely maintain an air of innocence throughout the remainder of season 19, distancing herself from <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sister-wives-kody-brown-relationships-one-purpose-feed-ego.html/?swcfpc=1″>Kody’s villainous stance</a>. <em>Sister Wives</em> airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.</p>
