Sister Wives star Robyn Brown’s friend tells furious fans ‘don’t blame her for the family falling apart’ after 3 splits
SISTER Wives star Robyn Brown’s friend has come to her famous pal’s defense after furious fans blamed the star for the family falling apart.
Sister Wives fans called out the fourth sister wife, Robyn, for the family’s major issues and ultimately, causing the three other wives – Meri, Janelle and Christine – to split from husband Kody.
Now, Robyn’s friend, Kendra Pollard, who appeared in earlier seasons, is speaking out after not being able to take the “false” narrative that’s being spread about her pal.
“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.
“That’s a hundred percent false,” Kendra told The U.S. Sun exclusively in a new interview.
“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.”
Kendra then claimed that Kody “did not want to even get involved with Robyn because she was a divorcee and had children,” which is something “he didn’t agree with.”
‘NOT A HOMEWRECKER’
Robyn became Kody’s fourth spiritual wife in 2010 and then legally married the patriarch in 2014, becoming the only one who was legally married to Kody.
Kendra continued: “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.
“So, Robyn is not a homewrecker and their marriage wasn’t premeditated.”
One by one the sister wives started breaking away from the family after more than 25 years of marriage.
Christine announced her split from Kody in November 2021.
Then, Janelle and Meri revealed at the end of last year that they both had separated from the father of 18.
Kendra, who now runs an antique and fine jewelry business called Retro Gem (inspired by Robyn’s jewelry collection), went on to say that the other wives “demanded” a lot of Kody’s time and “punished him” if they didn’t get their way.
BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS
“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,” the family friend alleged.
“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.
“And they would literally make him feel terrible the whole time he was there.”
Kendra continued: “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.”
The entrepreneur recalled witnessing Robyn and Kody “not have a good relationship” whenever Kody’s relationships with his other wives were in turmoil.
“Robyn would plead with them and him to fix it,” Kendra insisted.
“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.”
SHATTERED DREAMS
Robyn is seen breaking down in tears over their family problems throughout this season of Sister Wives.
At one point, she told cameras: “I wanted to sit on a porch with my sister wives with our kids and our grandkids.”
In a previous episode, she was, again, on the verge of bawling her eyes out thinking about the situation everyone is in now.
The TLC star remarked: “I need a reason why my family got blown to smithereens.”
Kendra told The U.S. Sun that Robyn has always wanted a big family and was always all for having sister wives.
“When Robyn joined that family, she joined the family with so many hopes and dreams of becoming part of a team,” she revealed.
“Kody and Robyn are not living this dream relationship. They’re just surviving a failed polygamy relationship.”
Kendra concluded: “Instead of glamorizing and highlighting the fact that his marriages failed, you can’t just sit here and blame one or two people for it. It was a collection of failures.”
Fans can continue to watch the drama unfold in new episodes of Sister Wives, which air every Sunday at 10pm ET on TLC.
