While many details about Robyns past before fame remain unknown, she hasclaimed her first marriage was abusive.
In a 2011 tweet, she wrote, I ended my first marriage because of abuse.
My kids come first ALWAYS."
Kody’s behavior is still leaving fans in disbelief.
In addition to the abuse allegations, David seems to be an absentee father.
After Robyn was awarded custody, reports indicatethat David relinquished his parental rights.
Kody later adopted Robyns kids, while David has apparently had little contact with them in recent years.
When Kody first met Robyn, he had three wives he was supporting.
Robyn has recalledhow happy the Browns seemed from the outside, and she wanted to join that.
A reality TV series explores the life of a polygamous family as they navigate the challenges and complexities of living in a society that largely disapproves of their lifestyle. The family’s dynamic, including the relationships between the husband, his four wives, and their 18 children, offers a unique insight into this unconventional family structure.
But Robyngained more than just a supportive partner she got a community by marrying Kody.
Abusive relationships are often isolating, but shes been far from lonely by joining the Browns.
It’s too little, too late for Kody’s tearful goodbyes.
And that makes sense considering the community shes lost.
The Brown family is no longer what it once was, or what they hoped it would be.
Many of Kodys kidssay they have no relationship with him, and place blame on his marriage to Robyn.
Meanwhile, his exes have distanced themselves from the family and each other.
Robyn didnt sign up for this.
Shes no longer living the polygamous lifestyle she wanted to marry into.
Many fans wouldnt be surprised if Robyn is Kodys fourth and final divorce.
Sister Wivescan be streamed on Apple TV.
