<p id=”par-1_37″><em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sister-wives/”>Sister Wives</a></em> star Robyn Brown is well-known for her ability to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sister-wives-sobbin-robyn-brown-tears-real-benefit-her.html/”>shed tears</a> at a moment’s notice. However, there was one situation where she didn’t cry while the other wives appeared more stressed out than ever. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-robyn-brown-refrained-from-crying-during-this-titular-sister-wives-moment”>Robyn Brown refrained from crying during this titular ‘Sister Wives’ moment</h2>
<p id=”par-2_31″>Robyn Brown was always the most <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sister-wives-robyn-brown-snowballing-big-lie-season-1.html/?swcfpc=1″>visibly emotional</a> of all of Kody Brown’s then-wives. She’d turn on the waterworks at the drop of a hat, even when they didn’t appear necessary.</p>
<p id=”par-3_33″>However, there was one moment in the show’s history when Robyn didn’t appear to shed one tear. It should have been the time she was most worried, and instead, she was out-of-character calm.</p>
<p id=”par-4_51″>The Brown family tried to secure mortgages for their four home build in Las Vegas during season 6 of <em>Sister Wives</em>. This storyline, which aired in 2013, focused on Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn Brown’s efforts to transition from their rental homes into four adjacent houses in a cul-de-sac. </p>
<p id=”par-5_28″>The process was stressful due to the financial strain and the challenge of getting approved for multiple mortgages simultaneously. But throughout the process, Robyn didn’t cry at all.</p>
<p id=”par-6_37″>Robyn came into the Brown family with financial issues, including lingering debt from her previous marriage. Her credit history wasn’t strong, which made it harder for her to qualify for a mortgage. This jeopardized the family’s move.</p>
<p id=”par-7_36″>But she always remained calm and relaxed, even when she said she was worried about not qualifying. This was likely because she knew the family would take care of her lingering debt to facilitate the build.</p>
<p id=”par-8_30″>Robyn always knew she’d qualify if the family pulled together to pay off her debt. Meri and Janelle used their resources to pay down Robyn’s debt and get her approved.</p>

<p id=”par-9_34″>On <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/SisterWives/comments/1i33pfr/when_robyn_didnt_cry/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a>, <em>Sister Wives</em> fans weighed in on Robyn Brown’s lack of tears during this <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sister-wives-kody-brown-deflects-blame-family-rift-robyn-brown.html/?swcfpc=1″>hot-button moment</a> in the family’s history. It appears she always felt confident the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sister-wives-drama-kody-brown-blatant-lies-pale-compared-robyn-manipulations.html/?swcfpc=1″>family would take care of her</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-10_29″>“Robyn had found the bill paying counter where she can just place her bills, and they get paid like magic. Why would Robyn worry at all?” wrote one fan.</p>
<p id=”par-11_24″>A second penned, “She knew Kody would make sure she got her house somehow, someway. Even if it was at the other wives’ expense.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_34″>“There was ZERO emotion. She was cold and potentially letting down the ENTIRE family, including the kids. She had brought nothing to the family for three years, at this point,” shared a third viewer.</p>
<p id=”par-13_34″>Finally, a fourth viewer declared, “Notice how whenever she talks and cries about it, she only mentions what SHE wanted. HER dream. HER big picture. She hasn’t said OUR dream, what WE wanted, etc.”</p>
