Robyn Brown is not backing away from one of the most explosive chapters in the Sister Wives saga. In a new preview, she revisits Meri Brown’s catfishing scandal and insists she was firmly in Meri’s corner, even as fans continue to question her role behind the scenes. Her comments reopen old wounds for the Brown family and for viewers who have spent years dissecting who really supported whom when Meri’s online relationship blew up.
Instead of distancing herself, Robyn leans in, arguing that she did nothing wrong and that she was one of the few people truly trying to help. That stance lands in a fandom that has built its own detailed timeline of the scandal, including claims that Robyn and her circle were more involved than she has ever admitted. The result is a messy, very public clash between Robyn’s version of events and the receipts fans say they have saved.
Robyn’s “I Had Her Back” Defense On Sister Wives
In the upcoming Sister Wives episode, Robyn Brown is shown pushing back hard on the idea that Meri Brown has any reason to distrust her. She tells cameras that she has always stood by Meri, stressing that she has “had Meri’s back” and that she does not accept being painted as a villain in the catfishing fallout, a stance highlighted in a preview shared by By Johnni Macke. Robyn frames herself as the person trying to keep communication open, even as Meri pulled away from the plural marriage and leaned into the emotional rush of her online connection.
Robyn also lays out what she says she actually knew at the time. She recalls that “all” she understood was that Meri was wrapped up in an online flirtation, talking about flowers, texting, music and flirting, and that it looked like an emotional affair that might or might not spill into real life. That description of “all” she knew about the situation is echoed in a preview clip that focuses on how All she knew was the digital side of the relationship, not whether the affair extended beyond online conversations. For Robyn, that distinction matters, because she is arguing that she was reacting to what Meri told her, not orchestrating anything behind the scenes.
Her insistence that she was a support system, not a saboteur, is threaded through multiple moments in the preview. The footage shows Robyn, identified in the segment as a central voice in the Sister Wives storyline, saying Meri “leaned on” her during the scandal. Another tease for the episode, labeled as a Preview of Robyn’s comments, reinforces that she sees herself as the one person Meri could turn to when the rest of the family was pulling back.
The Fan Narrative: Alleged Involvement And “Kendra” The Catfish
Outside the show, though, the fan narrative looks very different. In one widely shared post, Meri Brown is described as eventually realizing that Robyn Brown and a woman named Kendra were not just bystanders but “deeply involved” in the catfishing setup that targeted her. That account claims Meri later exposed how Meri Brown, Robyn Brown and Kendra were all part of a dynamic that ended up portraying Meri negatively. Another version of the same story spells it out even more bluntly, saying Robyn Brown and were central to how the scandal was used against Meri in the public eye. Those posts are not official show canon, but they have shaped how a big chunk of the audience reads every new scene between the two women.
Another fan discussion thread goes even deeper into the alleged connections. Commenters argue that “Sobyn” is not directly responsible for the catfishing, but that “Sobyns friend” knew the catfisher and that this is the real link between Robyn and the scandal. One breakdown claims that Sobyn had a friend who knew the catfisher, that Robyn was feeding information to that person, and that Meri did not cut this friend out of her life until the truth came out. A separate comment in the same thread repeats that Sobyns friend was the real bridge to the catfisher, and another user jumps in with a sharp “Now, educate yourself” to defend that version of events. None of this has been confirmed on camera, so it remains unverified based on available sources, but it explains why so many viewers are skeptical when Robyn insists she was only a supportive bystander.
Competing Truths: Robyn’s Stand Versus The Fandom’s Receipts
What makes this latest preview so combustible is that Robyn’s confident defense lands in a fandom that has already built its own case file. In the new clip, she is again presented as a key narrator of the catfish era, with By Johnni Macke highlighting how Robyn says Meri “leaned on” her emotionally. Another segment of the same preview, framed as a Sister Wives tease, underlines that Robyn believes Meri has no solid grounds to distrust her now. From Robyn’s perspective, she was the one urging Meri to be honest about the online relationship and to face the fallout head on.
