Sister Wives: Why Fans Think Robyn Made Christine's Exit About Herself

Robyn Brown is known for having a flair for the theatrics in Sister Wives, but fans think the sister wife has crossed the line in her self-centered response to Christine Brown's unprecedented decision to leave Kody. During the season 16 tell-all special, the members of the Brown family demonstrated that they're all still coping with Christine's exit, and while some have offered Kody's former spouse compassion, viewers think other sister wives have made the split about their own egos. From selfish and insensitive comments about the breakup to her narcissistic traits, here's why Sister Wives fans think Robyn made Christine's exit about herself.

Ever since Robyn joined Kody's plural marriage in 2010, the Brown family's dynamics greatly shifted to make room for her as the supreme sister wife. Although he had been married to his first three wives for decades before meeting Robyn, Kody was quick to trade in his relationships with Meri, Janelle, and Christine to welcome his fourth wife to the polygamous family. Over the past decade, fans have suspected that Robyn manipulates her husband and fellow sister wives to ensure that she's getting the most attention. Although Christine's departure naturally made her the subject of Sister Wives season 16, Robyn still demonstrated her knack for claiming the spotlight. Fans think Robyn made Christine's exit about herself during the tell-all event.

Unsurprisingly, Robyn has shared plenty of controversial opinions about Christine's decision to abandon the Brown family's plural marriage in Sister Wives season 16. First, fans were irritated with Robyn for asserting that Christine shouldn't have acted on her impulse to leave her failed relationship with Kody. Robyn asserted that she felt anger toward her former sister wife for not trying harder. Robyn continued to make more questionable comments when she implied that Christine's exit is really about herself. During the Sister Wives tell-all special, Robyn shared that she was devastated by Christine's choice because it affects her vision for her future. In response to Robyn's complaint that Christine's exit ruined her "big picture," a Reddit user slammed, "Robyn’s response... totally shows that everything in Robyn’s mind revolves around her." Fans think Robyn made Christine's exit about herself by focusing on how the divorce messed up her plans.

Surely, it wasn't easy for Christine to leave her family of 27 years, but instead of having compassion for her former sister wife, Robyn Brown could only highlight how Christine's departure affected her ideal life. Critics believe this demonstrated how Robyn has a habit of making everything about herself and framing herself as a martyr. Rather than reflect on how she could have contributed to Christine's pain, Robyn's illustrated how Kody's ex-wife is inconveniencing her. One fan explained, "No empathy or understanding for Christine. [Robyn] had to make it all about herself like always." Some viewers think Robyn's need to make Christine's exit about herself falls in line with her narcissistic tendencies. Fans think Kody and Robyn's self-centered responses to Christine's split are indicative of their shared narcissism, as a commenter assessed, "Two narcissists together; one is a bully and the other has a martyr complex."

Christine might have had the most compelling storyline in Sister Wives season 16, but Robyn Brown wasn't willing to give up the spotlight easily. From complaining that the spiritual divorce ruined the Brown family's future to making herself the martyr, fans think Robyn made Christine's exit about herself. Fortunately for Robyn, she will have more room to shine in future Sister Wives seasons without Christine around.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
