‘Sister Wives’ Fans Think Robyn Brown Jealous Of Janelle, Why?
Sister Wives star, Robyn Brown sends some mixed signals with her words and actions. While this isn’t new to Season 19, some fans think she is jealous of her former sister wife, Janelle Brown. Why do fans think that is the case?
Robyn Brown Wanted More
During Sister Wives Season 17, Tell All Part 3, when Sukanya Krishnan claimed Kody and Robyn Brown were soulmates, Robyn made it very clear all the wives had something “special” with Kody. Seemingly, she defensively pointed out their relationships were like comparing apples and oranges. However, at the same time, Kody was spouting that he never loved Meri, Christine, and Janelle, so Robyn was trying to clean up his mess.
But in Season 19, Robyn is devastated that Kody won’t keep trying with Janelle Brown. No matter what Kody says, Robyn still holds out hope for hanging on to at least one sister wife. In the latest episode, Janelle admits she learned early on that jealousy and comparison was the “death” of plural marriage. Likewise, Janelle expressed she had to “get comfortable” with who she was and let the rest go. Furthermore, she says it builds confidence instead. As fans discuss how Robyn clings to Janelle, they start to unravel the real reason is rooted in jealousy.
Robyn Brown Beats ‘A Dead Horse’
On Reddit, Sister Wives fans discuss why Robyn Brown wants Janelle Brown to stick around. First, a user says, “Why is Robyn so obsessed with Janelle? Can she drop it? It’s so bizarre. Besides her only biological children and ‘the absentee children who she doesn’t consider a part of the main family,’ she is so strange. What is her issue? Is it for the show or she’s just that delusional?”
- “She wants to gain favour with the viewers. She is keeping this lie of ‘I want a plural family‘ going hoping they will believe her. News flash Robyn: we don’t.”
- “This. She wants to beat a dead horse so that everyone thinks she’s devastated and won’t suspect that inside, this is everything she’s wanted from the beginning. She says exactly what she wants in the reverse. ‘This isn’t what I wanted’ over and over to try and throw everyone off.”
- Another fan adds, “Janelle called it, it’s Sobyn’s damsel in distress act and Kootie but not hook, like and sinker. Remember Sobyn came to the family ‘cap in hand’.”
- “Because you can’t win if you no longer have an opponent. Robyn is obsessed with being the favourite wife. She’s no longer the favourite when she’s the only wife.”
Fans Think Robyn Brown Jealous Of Janelle
However, other Sister Wives fans think the root of Robyn Brown wanting to keep Janelle in the fold was because she was jealous of her.
- Another commenter adds, “She’s worried because Kody still wants to f*** Janelle if she would have him back.”
- “For Robyn, Janelle is the easy sister wife. Janelle can be married to Kody while keeping out of Robyn’s business.”
- “I think Robyn was threatened by Janelle. Janelle never weakened to her antics and never showed emotion around her. She never showed jealousy. For years Janelle made it seem outwardly that she was confident in her relationship with Kody, unlike the other women. She saw right through her and Robyn knew this. Robyn may not have wanted to put the work into relationships but she wanted others to and Janelle never really tried with her at least not that we saw. Janelle had a bunch of ‘alpha males’. She has Dayton and Sol. Robyn makes everything a competition so I wouldn’t be surprised if she compares her children to the others. There may have been some sexual passion between Janelle and Kody and that would definitely make Robyn jealous.”
- “You make good points about Janelle not renting mind space to Robyn and having alpha males. Where I disagree is, Robyn being jealous of Janelle sexually. I don’t believe Robyn entered the family being deeply in love. She wanted financial wealth and recognition because of her young children and not wanting to work. Also:
- Pre-Kody she wasn’t interested in polygamy although she was an expert on the lifestyle.
- She entered a family as a 4th wife, knowing she’d have to share which was fine. She wouldn’t have to have Kody full-time.
- Robyn looked healthier and happier when she was one of four wives instead of the only wife.”
Janelle’s “Orange” Was Out Of Reach
However, some people pick up on that Robyn Brown could not compete with Janelle Brown’s “orange.” Not only could Janelle let her hair down and rock, but she was intelligent. She held different types of conversations with Kody than Robyn could ever dream of having. The only “rocking” she wanted was from a porch.
- “Exactly. Kody liked Christine because she was good in bed and a good mom. Robyn worked to mirror that. He liked Meri for her loyalty and Robyn worked to show the same. He liked Janelle for their long, in-depth conversations and Robyn doesn’t have the capability to copy that.”
- “I think Robyn views Janelle as the lesser of 3 evils of the OG3 because she’s always been more laid back and was never as demanding of Kody’s time because she likes her alone time and independence.”
- “I think Jenelle has been the most difficult wife for Robyn to manipulate. Plus, Kody seems to like her the best or at least the second best. I think Robyn is scared sh*tless of Jenelle and has been unable to gain favor, which makes Jenelle all the more unattainable. Often, the unattainable is the most attractive.”
- “She’s always been obsessed with Janelle because Janelle has always been her real competition. It’s why she ‘accidentally’ got the wrong size shirt for Janelle that time.I feel Kody did/does love Janelle.”
