Sister Wives spoilers reveal that a resurfaced clip has sent fans into a frenzy, exposing Robyn Brown’s surprising words about Aspyn Thompson, the daughter of Kody and Christine Brown. For years, viewers have suspected tension between Robyn and Kody’s older children, but this particular moment has sparked renewed discussion—painting Robyn as not only insecure but also deeply jealous of Aspyn’s success and role within the family.

The drama takes us back to Aspyn and Mitch Thompson’s wedding, an event that brought both joy and tension in equal measure. Fans doing a rewatch recently pointed out a scene where Robyn called Aspyn a “princess,” a label that carried more sting than sweetness. To many, the word seemed less like a compliment and more like a passive-aggressive dig designed to remind Aspyn—and perhaps everyone watching—that Robyn believed she was being too entitled about her wedding plans.

Robyn’s Jealousy Boils Over

Aspyn has always been admired for her calm, level-headed nature and ability to rise above the chaos of the Brown family. She helped raise many of her younger siblings while Christine worked herself to the bone to keep the family afloat. Later in life, she became a manager at the jewelry company Kendra Scott—a position many fans note is particularly ironic given Robyn’s long-time aspirations to build her own jewelry empire.

This professional success may have hit a nerve with Robyn, who has often positioned herself as the entrepreneurial, “business-minded” wife but never managed to turn her jewelry dreams into reality. Seeing Aspyn thrive in the exact field Robyn once desired only seems to add to the tension. Fans speculate that this simmering jealousy might even explain Robyn’s choices in her personal life, including her decision to expand her own family at a time when Aspyn was celebrating the arrival of her first child. The timing, as many point out, feels almost like a competition.

The Wedding Clash

The resurfaced clip highlights a particularly awkward exchange during Aspyn and Mitch’s wedding planning. At the time, Kody was visibly stressed about finances, and Robyn stepped in claiming she “speaks Kody” and could help mediate. Rather than offering support, however, Robyn appeared to push Aspyn toward picking a less costly wedding venue so that “money could be saved for the younger kids’ weddings.” The “younger kids” in question were, of course, Robyn’s own children.

Viewers were stunned at how blatantly self-serving this sounded, especially since Aspyn had long sacrificed for her siblings, stepping into a motherly role when Christine was stretched too thin. For Robyn to then imply that Aspyn should scale back her own special day for the benefit of Robyn’s children struck fans as cruel and manipulative.

Even more telling was Robyn’s refusal to raise her hand in support when the family was discussing venue options. While Meri, Christine, and Janelle seemed more open to Aspyn’s wishes, Robyn was the one who stood apart—always inserting her own perspective on where the money should go. It didn’t go unnoticed, and to this day, fans point to that clip as evidence of Robyn’s competitive streak with Kody’s older kids.

Meri’s Surprising Support

One bright spot during this tension-filled planning session was Meri Brown’s intervention. Despite her own rocky history with many of the children, Meri stepped in to reassure Aspyn that she should have the wedding she truly wanted. She even offered to personally cover expenses beyond what TLC was willing to provide, ensuring Aspyn didn’t feel guilty about her choices.

For once, Meri was portrayed in a positive light, going out of her way to show love and generosity toward Aspyn. This moment stood in stark contrast to Robyn’s behavior and has since been remembered as one of the few times Meri took a strong stand for one of the older kids. While Meri’s reputation among the Brown children remains complicated, her actions in this case highlighted that she was willing to put aside personal grievances for Aspyn’s happiness.

Fans React

Naturally, fans had plenty to say after revisiting this scene. Many agreed that Robyn’s “princess” comment was laced with jealousy, pointing out how the word had historically been used within the Brown household to criticize Christine. Years earlier, Kody himself had used “princess” as a weapon to guilt Christine when she wanted more attention or financial support. For Robyn to use that same word toward Christine’s daughter felt calculated, as if she were deliberately trying to undercut Aspyn the way Christine had once been undermined.

Others noted that Robyn’s financial arguments were hypocritical, especially given the amount of money she had allegedly spent on dolls and collectibles over the years. “The money she’s blown on dolls could have covered multiple weddings,” one fan bluntly wrote. That point resonated strongly within the fandom, with many arguing that Robyn had no right to question costs when her own spending habits were so questionable.

Some also speculated that Robyn’s insistence on saving money for her own children’s future weddings wasn’t about being practical at all—it was about ensuring that her kids’ milestones would stand out. Robyn herself enjoyed a lavish wedding with Kody, complete with a white dress, an extravagant reception, and even an extended honeymoon. To now begrudge Aspyn a comparable celebration made Robyn appear selfish, and fans believe she didn’t want the spotlight taken away from her or her children.

Aspyn’s Strength Shines Through

Through it all, Aspyn remained her usual composed self. Viewers admired how she didn’t lash out or sink into bitterness despite the pressure and guilt placed upon her. Instead, she carried herself with grace, moving forward with her wedding plans while making sure not to let the drama overshadow her joy.

Aspyn’s ability to navigate these family tensions is part of why fans hold her in such high regard. She has consistently proven herself to be one of the more grounded and balanced members of the Brown family, never seeking the limelight but still managing to stand out as a role model for her siblings.

Robyn as “The Queen”

Perhaps most intriguing of all is how fans interpret Robyn’s overall attitude. Many now joke that Robyn doesn’t see herself as just another wife—she sees herself as the “queen” of the Brown family, with her daughters as princesses who deserve to be prioritized above all else. From this perspective, her dismissive comments toward Aspyn make more sense: if Robyn is the queen, then Aspyn’s dreams could only ever be seen as competition, never as something worthy of celebration.

Looking Ahead

With Season 20 of Sister Wives expected to touch on Aspyn’s new journey into motherhood, fans are eager to see whether TLC revisits this tension between her and Robyn. Will the show highlight the growing distance between Robyn and Kody’s older children? Or will it continue to frame Robyn as the long-suffering, misunderstood wife?

For now, one thing is clear: the resurfaced clip has reignited debates about Robyn’s role in the family and her treatment of the kids who aren’t biologically hers. To many fans, her jealousy is undeniable, and her comments about Aspyn are yet another example of her true colors shining through.
