Fans of the show “Sister Wives” are not happy with Robyn and Kody Brown, especially this season. Over the years fans have targeted Robyn, the fourth wife of Kody for treating the other wives badly, taking more of Kody’s time and other issues.
These claims have been highlighted now that all three of the wives before Robyn have now left, or been asked to leave the family. All that remains are Kody and Robyn and the fans are making sure they place the blame.
These types of comments have dominated social media, all without a peep from Robyn or Kody.
But someone close to the couple has spoken out in defense of Robyn.
Kendra Pollard, who appeared previously on the show spoke with The Sun about her friend.
“I want to set the record straight on the fact that everybody is very heavily convinced that Kody actually planned to bring Robyn in to ruin his marriage, that this was kind of a premeditated plan on Kody and Robyn’s part,” she said. “That’s a hundred percent false.”
She continued, “None of that is true. The way Robyn actually came into the family is a hundred percent through Meri. It was an interaction and an introduction through Meri, so the whole idea was Meri’s.”
She also said that, at first, Kody wasn’t interested in Robyn due to her being divorced with children and that was a lifestyle “he didn’t agree with.”
She also set straight some of the details from their courting days, in early 2010.
“It was not until they were engaged to be married that he started having outings with her in private. But then again, he also had film crews with them,” she said. “So, Robyn is not a homewrecker and their marriage wasn’t premeditated.”
Kendra also blasted Kody’s former wives for demanding too much of Kody or punishing him when they didn’t get their way.
“They’re portraying Robyn as this selfish person who demanded all of Kody, but the truth of the matter is Kody had a very rigid schedule of being with his wives. It rarely changed,” she said. “And what became the demise of the relationships is when Kody would go on his set day with Meri or Christine… they would be so upset with him, and the minute he’d come home, the whole time he’d be there would be about fulfilling Christine’s needs and her anger and her frustration, or fulfilling Meri’s needs.”
She continued, “And they would literally make him feel terrible the whole time he was there. So to sit here and blame Robyn when she’s not even present in their homes, that she’s the cause of the breakups is completely false.”
Robyn has always said that she advocated for the wives, urging Kody to spend more time with them or work out their problems, and Kendra backed that up.
“Robyn would plead with them and him to fix it,” Kendra said. “He would come home to her and be so upset about his problems with his other wives, and [Robyn and Kody] would spend their free time together focusing on fixing his broken relationships. She did her best to try to work through his other marital problems when it wasn’t even her job to do so.”
Many fans assume that Robyn and Kody are living out a dream now that the other wives are gone. But that isn’t the case, Kendra insisted.
“When Robyn joined that family, she joined the family with so many hopes and dreams of becoming part of a team,” she said. “Kody and Robyn are not living this dream relationship. They’re just surviving a failed polygamy relationship.”
