Sister Wives has shown that settling the Coyote Pass business has been like pulling teeth with Robyn and Kody Brown. But now Robyn Brown’s shocking addiction may be at the root of it. Furthermore, could this be enough to slam the door on the monogamous marriage?
Kody And Robyn Brown Drag Their Feet
In recent Sister Wives episodes, Coyote Pass has been a big topic. Both Meri and Janelle suggested that Robyn and Kody buy them out so they could move on. However, Kody said they don’t have the money to do that. When Janelle called them out earlier in the season, she noted they have many “extra” things that she sees their money going toward. Likewise, fans have speculated that they won’t film indoors very often because there is a hoarding problem. However, now, there is new information that surfaced unveiling Robyn has an addiction, which is a huge clue to where the money is going.
Robyn Brown’s SHOCKING Addiction Exposed?
Shockingly, it has been revealed that Sister Wives star, Robyn Brown’s suspected shopping addiction is out of control. Katie Paulson with Without A Crystal Ball followed a lead from a fan, Nina. Initially, Nina shared a Reddit thread that claimed that Robyn was spending $30K on Etsy. However, it gets juicier as she dives into the rabbit hole of Robyn’s compulsive spending. The Etsy website, Koalanda, was uncovered, which showed Robyn’s user name reviewing 617 items dating back many years.

Since attention was brought to the issue, Robyn has made her page private. However, Katie searched for reviews from January 2022 to February 2025 with the user name. She located 492 purchase reviews, of which 99.9% were dolls or doll clothes. But when she charted the items on a spreadsheet and arrived at the shocking total, Robyn spent $61,267.65 in that timeframe. The three-year composition of the 492 purchases didn’t even account for all items since she had a total of 617 reviews.
Fans Spot Familiar Items
Among the purchases were junk journals for $175 each. Katie Paulson spotted at least four of five. Furthermore, they looked a lot like the journal Robyn Brown presented to Meri Brown as she was packing for Parowan, UT.
But the vast majority of the purchases were for baby dolls and their clothes. Similar to American dolls, Robyn appears to have a large collection of these collectible dolls and accessories. In a recent purchase, Robyn reviewed a $595.00 Bridgerton-inspired doll. Furthermore, she also enjoys many of the Disney-inspired dresses and dolls.
In some of the reviews, Katie Paulson notes that Robyn Brown isn’t just buying them for Ariella Brown. She references that she loves getting the dolls dressed up in these unique or custom handmade pieces. Some of the dresses alone cost hundreds of dollars.
Etsy Is Only The Tip Of The Iceberg For Robyn Brown’s Addiction
In addition to the long list of photos Katie Paulson revealed about Sister Wives star, Robyn Brown’s purchase patterns, she also points out this is only the tip of the iceberg. For instance, fans know that Kody and Robyn have money tied up in artwork and sculpture. Likewise, Katie points out Solomon Brown owns a huge collection of LEGOs.
Additionally, Robyn has an entire Charles Dickens Christmas Village, and many other Hallmark and Precious Moments figurines lining their home. Not only is this money being tied up and keeping Meri and Janelle on the hook with Coyote Pass, but Katie also reminds fans that Kody couldn’t help with Ysabel Brown’s surgery. Christine Brown Woolley had to raise money through crowdfunding to pay the out-of-pocket expenses. Likewise, the issue of Kody not paying for Truely Brown’s child support was also mentioned.
Could This Lead To Divorce?
But could Sister Wives star, Robyn Brown’s outrageous spending cause Kody Brown to divorce her? Financial problems are among the top ten reasons for divorce. Furthermore, financial issues account for over one-third of the reasons people indicate they have gotten divorced. When Robyn entered the marriage, she came with debt that the plural family, in turn, paid off. But now, Kody’s precious dream of having Coyote Pass is at risk because his wife continues to frivolously spend money to the tune of roughly $25,000 per year on dolls and doll clothes. Additionally, Robyn and Kody have seemingly relied on Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown’s money to pad their pockets while they lavishly lived in a mansion and took vacations.
