"Robyn Brown is tracing back to the event that she believes led to the demise of the Brown family's plural marriage.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the Sister Wives star, 45, reflected on her former sister wives' Janelle, Meri and Christine Brown and the dissolution of their relationships with polygamous patriarch Kody Brown.
"I think it started with when we were in Las Vegas," she says, noting that the shift began when their respective adult children decided to leave the nest. "So their focuses started to shift to kids that have left home to go live their life, instead of focusing on their relationship with Kody."
According to Robyn, the other wives stopped maintaining not only their marriages to Kody — but also to their commitments to each other.
"It started becoming a lot of focus that direction, as far as holidays and things like that," she adds.
Las Vegas was the start of their growing divide, Robyn says, and once the family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona, the wives became "separated geographically" and "weren't in each other's lives as regularly."
"That made us feel more independent of each other," she continues. "It was easier just to not spend time together because it was harder to get in the car and go hang out at someone's house and then try to figure out if you get through the snow to home and things like that. And so I think that was the next step."
Housing arrangements in Flagstaff and debates surrounding "living in one home or building one home" was the "next step" and "brought out a lot of truths."
Robyn explains, "I think a lot of the issues that were a part of their past started to come up. It was before I came in the family, there was these issues about living together that started to come up, and they started talking about that."
Things in their plural marriage only got worse when COVID hit. The reality star shares how the pandemic became a "perfect storm" in their relationships.
"We weren't as united, and everybody [was] disagreeing about how to handle it. And it became this fight and people were so independent by that point," she says.
"I think it's just also kind of an age thing," she adds. "What I've heard, is that you get to a point where you aren't as interested or care as much, or you just become more independent as a woman in a marriage and as obsessed with or interested as much in maybe your hubby and everything."
Robyn says that age was a factor for both Kody and the wives.
"I've heard them all talk about, 'Well, I don't know if I want this anymore,' or, 'I just want something different,' or, 'I used to be OK with this and how this was going, but now I'm not OK accepting what it's been,'" she recalls."
YEP.
Her mindset about this is so strange to me!! It's shit like this that convinces me she is just about the WORST parent. So utterly selfish. Why would she even think this?? Wtf?
The answer is her and Kody are so codependent and have woven this strange home life where they depend on their children being young and helpless.
It's a GOOD THING that the OG13 are becoming independent adults and it's only natural their mothers are proud of them and want to see their new houses, meet their spouses, etc etc. Robyn and kodys parenting style creeps me out.
I agree. They actually believed in the marriage covenant or whatever their religion dictated. His behavior grew worse and worse and eventually they realized they don't have to (and shouldn't) stand for it. Especially seeing how badly he treated their kids. When the OG13 were young Kody was more present and energetic. He's a sad, angry, neglectful parent now.
Robyn got the best treatment of them all and now that she has him 24/7 it ain't so rosy anymore. I wouldn't blame her if she left but I don't think she will. If she does, it won't be for a long time. She doesn't want to be alone, doesn't want to work or support herself.
Your flair lmao.
Yeah this article seriously irks me. She has the audacity to blame THEM??? Seriously?
I genuinely cannot decide whether she's completely stupid or the lack of self awareness is so prominent that it shadows over every tiny thought in her selfish bird brain. She sees the way Kody treats his wives and children, completely ignoring them and their needs, insulting them to their faces and behind their backs. No shit they want to leave. Why is she acting all surprised? Is this acceptable behavior to you, Robyn?? Or are you just ok with it because it's not happening to YOU??
she annoys me so much but this article really grinds my gears today.
I am having such a hard time deciding whether she is lying or whether she is so delusional and self absorbed she has actually convinced herself that the OG3 had anything to do with kodys disgusting behavior. Have fun with him Robyn, you sure worked hard for this! Those mental gymnastics must be exhausting! Lmao
Yeah this is so strange. She really baffles me. Of course your children will leave the nest eventually, it's what you do as a parent... Prep your kids to be functional adults and take care of themselves out in the world. What is this mindset?
It's like she is so obsessed with being a parent of young children she doesn't know what to do now that they're growing up. She refuses to accept it and doesn't understand when other parents (Christine, Janelle, Meri) do just that. She's so lost in being a parent that it's her only identity, and also she's probably terrified of what to do now that their moneymakers (TLC and again, OG3) are leaving. You might have to work now, Robyn!! Lmao.
I do not feel sorry for her but I do feel sorry for her kids who she is failing massively. And Kody has never been a good parent, just a drop in step parent who visits when it's convenient. Robyn has never held him accountable for that stuff.
She's so dumb omg. That she thinks this interview would actually help her image is hilarious. She keeps digging herself further into the hole. It's like she doesn't remember that the entire thing is recorded and us viewers watched her monopolize kodys time? She really doesn't get it??
The lack of self awareness is astounding. Just jaw dropping.
Perhaps some of column A and some of column B?
I can't decide either. I do know that it annoys me to NO END how she and Kody try blaming everyone else. Take some responsibility for your lives, jesus.
People like this genuinely piss me off. I know several people like this and I literally need therapy to deal with them. I'm probably projecting here lol but it's the same story over and over. Life happens TO them, they will never take charge of anything in their own lives. Yet they demand control every step of the way and throw a tantrum when they don't get it. Grow up! 🙄
No no you don't understand, she's an empath lmao
Right?? How could Robyn watch Kody treat his wives and children this way and think it's acceptable? I'm convinced it's because it wasn't happening to HER so she was fine with it. It made her feel extra special.
Tell me why she's a good sister wife again Kody?
Lol she's trying desperately to hold onto being the younger hot wife.
It's been like 13 years now robyn, you've aged and it's okay.
Probably doesn't help her bitterness that the OG3 have had a major glow up and she's ... Definitely looking like she's aged. Kody seems to do that to his wives...
Exactly! You sound like a good mom and I'm sorry you struggled. My mom's parents sent her alone to college at 18 and moved across the globe. She felt really abandoned and struggled in every way. When I turned 18 and went to college she did everything she could to help set me up for success and support me if I needed it.
Robyns mindset with this is so strange. She doesn't want her kids to grow up or be independent. She wants them to need her forever because it makes her feel wanted and valued. She has nothing else.
So she blames the OG3 for supporting their adult kids being independent. She insults them for it in this very article. I'm so annoyed she is blaming them for focusing on supporting their adult kids instead of their relationship with a deadbeat dad and husband who has ignored them for years. This behavior from kody is acceptable to Robyn because it's not happening to HER. She gets everything she wants. An attentive spouse and father to her kids and children who NEED her and are just as confused as she is about why life is happening to them.
And Kody has the audacity to call his kids assholes? What parent does that? Robyn is really okay with this because he's not calling HER kids assholes? I just don't get her. Maybe this is why she sleeps all day, mental gymnastics sure are exhausting.
Yeah Truely is only a year or so older than Sol. Don't know how old Savannah was but very tender aged as well. Why do they get ignored?? Why is Robyn okay with this? Because her tenders got all the attention? Gross behavior of a selfish woman who is supposedly a good sister wife. Blaming everyone but Kody who actually deserves the shit filled bed he's made. They are delusional.
Make it make sense.
Oh my god I remember this and I was so baffled by it. Like he's ten and it's a kiddie slide wtf
I hope he gets away! I hope they all get away from her.
Nothing of value to say or talk about so she has to extend her sentences with useless shit like this.
She's so dumb omg.

Yes exactly this. It's so insulting to the OG3. she really cannot blame herself or Kody for this, it must be their fault right? She's so dumb, or maybe she is truly delusional. Or both probably.
I find it SO annoying that she is blaming them. When the OG3 were in fact quite loyal for a long time and tried their best to make it work. Much longer than us viewers believed they should be. Robyn is so wrapped up in her own selfishness she can't see that it's her and kodys fault. She irks me to the nth degree with her lack of ability to self reflect. Just completely blank in that regard.
