Bear in mind, she would know — she lived with Robyn forward of the wedding.
“I think a lot of the shyness has been developed because she’s been hardened by opinions,” Mykelti mirrored. “And hardened by reality where like, her family that she thought she was marrying into isn’t what she thought it was.”
Apparently, Kody instructed his three wives on the time (all now his exes) and their many youngsters to hide the household’s numerous issues from his new bride-to-be.

Ultimately, after all, Robyn Brown found that Kody was not dwelling a polygamist’s dream. There have been actual issues — these of any household, and (after all) these of any household that has a character like Kody’s within the combine.
“I do think Robyn was shocked at how bad Dad’s relationships were with all of the wives,” Mykelti admitted.
“When she joined, it took a while for the rose-colored glasses to come off,” she mirrored, “and everybody to show their true selves and real relationships.”
Mykelti famous: “A couple years in, that’s when she really started to notice there aren’t little problems. These are some big issues.”

To be clear, nevertheless, Mykelti isn’t claiming to be a part of a prepared conspiracy to entrap and beguile Robyn.
“None of us were trying to deceive her,” she emphasised.
Mykelti defined that, relatively, “we were trying to welcome her.”
She emphasised: “We were trying not to fight in front of her … we were trying to put our best foot forward, not deceive.”
There’s a positive line between the 2. Doing a little additional cleansing and tidying earlier than friends arrive isn’t deceitful. Stuffing rubbish below the visitor mattress would possibly make a nasty shock for a visiting pal, nevertheless.

Her being so sad a lot of the time makes lots of sense
Maybe her Sobbin’ Robyn Brown nickname and the tears that prompted it are simpler to know once we see issues from her perspective.
To her, this “wonderful” man (it’s unclear why she believed this about Kody) invited her to affix his pleased polygamist household.
Over time, she realized that he had points with all three wives, that Meri had tensions with each of the opposite sister wives. And, famously, Kody doesn’t actually have a lot of a relationship with most of his grownup youngsters lately.
In fact, Robyn looks like she’s in too deep to go away, and in too deep emotionally to need to go away.
Even when Kody allegedly tricked her into this marriage, she appears to love the wool over her eyes.
