Is Robyn Brown Responsible For Kody And Christien's Split?
Christine has observed that Kody has a favorite among her and her sister wives. In fact, she complained about Kody not spending time with her and their family during the quarantine when he decided that they isolate separately and chose to be with Robyn.
An unnamed source told Us Weekly that their split did not shock the people close to them. She had been plotting about leaving him for quite some time already.
"The big reason why she split from him is because Kody has been completely devoted to Robyn [Brown] for the past five or six years. That hasn’t changed at all," the tipster said.
Several Twitter users noticed the same — that Kody has a favorite and it's no other than Robyn.
"Kody is a hypocrite because it's obvious he only wants to be with Robyn," one netizen wrote.

Some blamed Robyn because they felt that there were times when she also wanted Kody to be exclusively hers despite growing up in a polygamous household. Meanwhile, many were happy with Christine's decision and they were hoping that Meri and Janelle would also do the same and find their worth.
