Sister Wives: Robyn Got Snarky With A Waitress For Thinking She Was His ‘Other Woman’
The Many Shades of Robyn Brown: From Tears to Tantrums?
For years, Sister Wives viewers have watched Robyn navigate the complexities of plural marriage, often with tears in her eyes. Her seemingly naive and emotional nature led to the somewhat derisive nickname “Sobyn Robyn,” suggesting a constant state of crying. But could there be more to Robyn than meets the eye?
A deeper look into Robyn’s past, particularly through the Browns’ book, Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage, hints at a more assertive and even entitled side. This revelation challenges the image of the perpetually weeping wife and raises questions about the true nature of her on-screen persona.
Robyn’s “High Horse” Moment: A Comparison to Oprah?
In the book, Robyn recounts her reaction to the family’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. She boldly stated that she realized how much they were alike. The audacity of comparing herself to Oprah, a self-made media mogul and philanthropist, rubbed many fans the wrong way. It seemed to expose an inflated ego lurking beneath the surface of the humble persona she often projects.
Was this just a fleeting moment of confidence, or a glimpse into a deeper sense of self-importance? It certainly fueled the perception that Robyn sees herself as something special, perhaps explaining why Kody has always held her in such high regard.
Confrontation at the Restaurant: Asserting Her Place
Beyond the Oprah comparison, another incident described in Becoming Sister Wives further complicates Robyn’s image. The story involves a tense encounter with a waitress who, unbeknownst to Robyn, had recently seen Kody on a date with Meri. When Kody and Robyn returned to the same restaurant, the waitress gave Robyn cold stares, assuming she was “the other woman.”
Instead of dissolving into tears or shrinking away, Robyn confronted the waitress. She boldly declared that she was Kody’s wife, and that the other woman the waitress had seen was also his wife. This display of assertiveness and directness is a far cry from the image of the timid, emotional Robyn often portrayed on Sister Wives.
In a time when the Brown family was still trying to keep their polygamous lifestyle under wraps, Robyn’s openness was particularly striking. It begs the question: has Robyn been strategically playing a role for the cameras all these years, or is her emotional vulnerability only one facet of a more complex personality? The answer, like Robyn herself, remains elusive and open to interpretation.
