Sister Wives Star Robyn Brown Breaks Silence on Kody Brown’s Rift With His Kids

Sister Wives is gearing up for its messiest showdown yet, as Robyn Brown hints at the real reasons behind Kody Brown’s rift with his kids — and her claims cast his exes in a harsh light. Expect fireworks as the ex sister wives confront her allegations on camera.

So, Sister Wives just turned the heat up again. Robyn Brown is now suggesting that Kody Brown’s estrangement from most of his adult kids didn’t just happen on its own — and her take points a finger at his exes in a way that is definitely going to set off more fireworks.

Robyn’s view: influence, priorities, and fallout

On the show’s Nov. 23 episode, Robyn tells Kody she thinks there has been, in her words, 'pretty intense influencing' coming from his ex-wives that has shaped how some of his kids see him. She also acknowledges another uncomfortable truth: Kody putting a lot of focus on his relationship with her hasn’t exactly helped his standing with the older kids.

For context, Kody’s adult children from his previous marriages — especially the ones with Christine and Janelle — have a strained relationship with him. Meanwhile, he and Robyn share three kids together: Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna.

Christine is over the blame game

Christine doesn’t buy the 'influence' angle and flat-out rejects the idea that she’s responsible for the rift. On the episode, she lays it out plainly:

'I’m just exhausted and so tired of being blamed for how his kids feel about him. It’s his responsibility and not mine.'

Janelle backs Christine up

In her own confessional, Janelle echoes the same sentiment with a little dry humor, basically saying if she actually had that much sway over her grown children, things would look very different. Translation: don’t pin this on Mom.

Robyn doubles down

Robyn sticks to her broader point in a separate confessional: parents often don’t realize how small comments add up and color how kids see the other parent. And in plural marriage, she says, the dad isn’t around as much as the moms, which only amplifies that effect. It’s a tidy explanation that also conveniently frames the problem as a decades-long dynamic, not just a pandemic-era implosion or recent feud.

Where this leaves the family

Robyn knows she’s perceived as part of the problem — and she kind of admits Kody’s focus on their relationship hasn’t eased tensions — but she’s still pointing at the exes for helping push things along. Christine and Janelle, meanwhile, are crystal clear: the responsibility for fixing things with the kids sits squarely with Kody, not them.

Short version: the Brown family is still very much in the blame-and-counter-blame phase. Expect this to get messier before it gets better.
