Sister Wives Fans Question Robyn Brown’s Emotional Authenticity
Fans of Sister Wives are all too familiar with Robyn Brown’s propensity for tears. Often seen as a victim of circumstance, she frequently blames others for her struggles and unfulfilled dreams. However, her tendency to cry at the slightest provocation has earned her the nickname “Sobbin’ Robyn.” Interestingly, despite her emotional outbursts, viewers often find it difficult to see any real tears. But were there moments when Robyn displayed genuine emotion? Let’s delve deeper.
Moments When Robyn Brown Didn’t “Fake Cry”
Since the show’s inception, Robyn has been a frequent crier, claiming she never intended to be portrayed this way. Her fellow wives, Meri and Christine, have also shown their emotions, which Kody Brown seems to respond to positively. Some fans speculate that Robyn has learned to use tears as a tool to manipulate situations to her advantage. Consequently, viewers have come to expect her to cry in nearly every episode, though many believe her tears lack sincerity.
While it’s rare for fans to witness real tears from Robyn, there are instances where she reportedly didn’t resort to emotional theatrics. A Reddit thread highlighted a particular moment during the family’s transition to Las Vegas. The original poster noted:
“You want to know when Robyn didn’t almost cry, fake cry, or get remotely emotional? When they were trying to secure their homes in Vegas. She was told multiple times by lawyers and realtors that she might not qualify, yet there were no tears.”
During this period, while the family grappled with their housing situation, Robyn appeared excited and optimistic about moving forward, especially as they invested in My Sisterwife’s Closet.
The Importance of Robyn’s Happiness
It seems that Robyn’s happiness is paramount, and she tends to reserve her emotional responses for situations that directly impact her. While she often weeps over the perceived collapse of her plural family—something she has longed for—there have been notable moments of emotional restraint. Fans have pointed out instances where she didn’t shed tears, such as:
- When Truly faced a near-fatal incident.
- During her own labor.
- Surprisingly, even during the court adoption process, where Janelle displayed more emotion than Robyn.
Many fans speculate that Robyn thrives when the other wives are struggling, believing that their unhappiness somehow enhances her own contentment. One fan remarked:
“She’s upset that others aren’t giving her what she wants anymore. They’ve taken away her ideal picture. She needs them to be miserable for her to feel happy.”
A Complex Emotional Landscape
Understanding Robyn’s emotional landscape can be challenging for viewers. Some fans have noted that she appears to have influenced her two eldest daughters to adopt similar crying habits, creating “mini-versions” of herself.
While Robyn continues to evoke strong reactions from Sister Wives fans, the question remains: are her tears genuine, or just part of a carefully curated performance? As the series unfolds, viewers will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how her emotional journey progresses.
