Robyn BrownjoinedSister Wivesby becoming patriarch Kody Brown’s fourth wife in his polygamous family in 2010, and Robyn’s first marriage may have ended due to financial issues. Robyn’s entry into the family caused some chaos, since the three original wives had been functioning as a family unit for years prior to Robyn’s arrival.Robyn struggled with feeling like the odd wife out, since the others had already found their groove, andKody’s blatant favoritism towards Robyncontributed to Robyn feeling excluded by the other wives.
Not only did the family have to welcome Robyn and her children, they allegedly also had to absorb Robyn’s debts from her previous marriage. Of course, Robyn ended up being Kody’s sole wife, as former wives Christine Brown, Janelle Brown and Meri Brownall left Kody within a few years. However, questions about Robyn’s first marriage to David Jessop continue to swirl because, while Robyn has characterized her first marriage as very toxic,the real issue that led to their divorce may have been financial.

There’s No Proof She Broke A Law
Without A Crystal Ballat YouTube posted some inflammatory content, saying that one ofRobyn’s first husband’s nieces claimed that her extended family gave Robyn and David money to cover Robyn’s significant credit card debt, but Robyn used the money for other purchases instead. David was supposedly the one who ended up having to pay back his family members, giving them the amount that Robyn allegedly took. These are allegations - not proof.
David’s niece also insinuated that Robyn would spend so much money on clothing that she had to hide the designs in a shed, and slowly bring them into the house so her then-husband wouldn’t notice. However, breakups get very messy and people don’t always tell the truth. Before saying that Robyn spends too much money, proof is needed. Regardless,she and Kody are characterized as wild spenderswho live way beyond their means,perhaps favoring Robyn’s kidsover the other wives' children.

Sister Wives star Robyn Brown chatted with fans years ago, talking about so many intimate aspects of her life, from shopping to Kody and beyond.
However, it’s no secret thatKody and Robyn both enjoy the finer things in life, and recent reports aboutRobyn spending over $60,000 at Etsy, where she allegedly bought dolls and accessories, make it seem like Robyn’s really into shopping. Since former wife Meri is preparing to lawyer up, to get her fair share of the Coyote Pass property if it’s sold, the family’s fights over money are far from over.
In the meantime, media exposure regarding Robyn and Kody’s spending could leave them feeling too exposed. Their spending habits may feel like a personal matter that’s been made public. Perhaps theSister Wivesstars will become quieter about their financial lives. If they are, there may be less scrutiny moving forward.
