"American Girl Dolls!': Sister Wives' Robyn Brown Recently Set Her Etsy Reviews To Private (She Was Accused Of Spending 62K on Dolls, Doll Clothes & Junk Journals)
Sister Wives' Robyn Brown's love of American Girldolls is relatable - however, she recently hid a digital trail of breadcrumbs that leads to Etsy, one of her preferred retail outlets, amid an increasingly dramatic battle over Coyote Pass. As Meri Brown contemplates hiring a lawyer to ensure that she gets a fair deal if the Arizona land is sold, and Janelle Brown tells her that's a smart strategy, Robyn's shopping sprees don't go unnoticed. Her spending's sending the message (rightly or wrongly) that she's living a luxe lifestyle. Robyn allegedly spent 62K on dolls and other fun items.
That's a big chunk of change, so the claims are rather shocking. However, Robyn's been famous for a long time. She's a part of Sister Wives season 19 and appeared in 18 previous seasons, for which she was paid. So, she does have one main stream of income (reality TV fame), and may have others. It's Robyn's life and her money to spend. However, when her alleged purchases are contrasted with Janelle's money issues, which she's talked about extensively, it makes it seem like Robyn is in a much better place financially.
Is Robyn Upset That Her Etsy Shopping History Was Revealed?
She Seems To Love Shopping
American Girl Dolls are cute, and many people who find fault with Robyn have probably bought them, or the other types of dolls that Robyn collects. At the official American Girl website, dolls can be customized to look just like their owners, which is fun. As well, there are special series of dolls, including Bitty Babies and "The Girl Of The Year." While Robyn reportedly gets her American Girl dolls at Etsy, as per the Without A Crystal Ball source added earlier in this article, it's not hard to understand why she enjoys buying them.
It's the sheer quantity of dolls she's alleged to have purchased which raises eyebrows.
Robyn's not wrong for buying dolls. It's the sheer quantity of dolls she's alleged to have purchased which raise eyebrows. Through the intensive sleuthing of Katie Paulson at Without A Crystal Ball, it seems like there is real evidence, in the form of screenshots, that Robyn has purchased a lot of stuff on Etsy, to the tune of 62K since 2022. So, it is possible that Robyn's passion for purchasing Victoria's Secret clothes and the aforementioned dolls has gotten very expensive. Katie, who broke this story and did all the research, said:
Robyn loves custom made dolls. The doll above is a custom doll she purchased for $695 in 2024. In fact, she’s purchased dozens of custom dolls and custom made outfits. I noticed something about her doll that she raved about and noted her hairstyle.
Doll therapy is a real thing - in fact, patients living with Alzheimer's disease are sometimes given dolls to hold, which provide them with comfort and a sense of stability, as per Dementia UK. Robyn's life isn't always easy, and if she likes to play with dolls, maybe doing that relaxes her. For years, she's been painted as a villain because she is Kody's favorite wife. Now that they're living in monogamy, she still gets criticized for her spending habits and more. Robyn needs to soothe herself, just like everyone else.
Robyn Is Accused Of Spending Over 62K At Etsy
That's A Lot Of Money
Aside from American Girl dolls and also-cute Disney dolls, Robyn reportedly bought a "junk journal" for Meri Brown, in addition to doll clothes, some of which were reportedly quite pricey. If this is true, Robyn's dolls are definitely dressed to the nines. One envisions wild "doll couture," imagining dolls prowling tiny runways to show off their finery. At Reddit, one fan, Truth-out246810 claimed to see an Etsy review of Robyn's, where she compared her beloved dolls to "flowers in her garden."
In one review, she rhapsodized about her dolls, explaining that she was happy when they found boyfriend dolls. Life can be rough and Robyn, like all women, deserves to be happy. If dolls float her boat, then she should have them, but does she need so many? Perhaps not.
The buzz about possible overspending by Kody and Robyn has built up over time, with Kody's own daughter Gwendlyn taking to YouTube to say that her father was "spending so crazy." Kody wears a David Yurman shield pendant valued at $1100. Kody and Robyn have matching David Yurman rings. They are signet rings that seem to symbolize their bond, which remains strong despite a wide array of stressors. In addition, Kody and Robyn are known for buying million dollar homes and spending time at shopping malls.
Is Robyn Bad For Spending This Much?
No, She Is Not
Quite often, Kody's queen is dehumanized, but the fact that she gets excited about dolls and enjoys such simple pleasures is actually endearing. However, since Janelle said she left her spiritual union with Kody with almost nothing, Robyn's spending habits may underscore the fact that one wife lived very well while another went without. If true, that's sad, as Janelle worked hard for years, bringing home the bacon for three other wives, including Robyn.
Right now, the exes Meri and Janelle are talking about Coyote Pass, sharing their frustration over Kody dragging out the sale. He feels he has every right to make decisions about the property as he claims to hold a 97 percent stake in the land, which is divided into four plots. This may be true in terms of the law. It's just that people who sympathize with his exes may wish that they had as much as Kody and Robyn seem to have.
Plural marriage can work, but it was often a cruel situation for Kody's less-loved wives. Christine, starved of affection and physical contact, ran for the hills, finding a man with whom she could enjoy a typical marriage. That was a good move for her. Janelle, who is still grieving the loss of her son Garrison Brown, as Kody is, is valiantly pushing forward.
She's trying to ease her money woes through entrepreneurship. The down-to-earth woman is sharing her reverence for nature by selling flowers through her new venture, Taeda Farms.
Meanwhile, Meri, who suffered when Kody wouldn't forgive her for an unfortunate catfishing scandal, is bravely rebuilding. She's started a Worthy Up platform - a communal online space where people can raise their self-esteem in a warm and supportive environment. It's amazing what these women have accomplished despite the odds.
Robyn deserves happiness just like they do. However, her status as Sister Wives' Kody's favorite, and her indulgences at Etsy, may rub some Sister Wives fans the wrong way. Even the intrepid journalist Katie called out Robyn's "creepy doll obsession." That is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how Robyn's roasted. Hopefully, people will ask themselves, "Have I ever overspent?" and "Am I really so different?" before judging her, as Robyn's been aggressively judged for years. In fact, all of that shade may have pushed her towards retail therapy in the first place.
Sister Wives fans can stream the series on the Discovery+ platform.
