On this season of Sister Wives, Robyn Brown described having a bolt of lightning shoot through her when she locked eyes with Kody Brown for the first time.
While the TLC star meant the story to sound romantic, many viewers found themselves rolling their eyes. And upon further review, some Sister Wives viewers think Robyn stole the story from someone else.
Did Robyn Brown Plagiarize The Lightning Bolt Story From Janelle?
Most Sister Wives fans believe that Robyn and Kody fudged the details of their first meeting in Season 19. They’ve told several different versions of their first meeting before and this is the first time the “lightning bolt” moment has ever come up.
At least, this is the first time Robyn Brown mentioned the lightning bolt. Another sister wife felt the same way years prior.
“What is it with these women and their lightning bolts?” a Sister Wives viewer posted online. “Is it in the polygamist handbook?”
The OP attached a screenshot from an early season of Janelle Brown describing how excited she was upon initially meeting Kody Brown. And just like Robyn, Janelle claims she had a “bolt of lightning” shoot through her body, which she took as a sign that she was meant to marry him.
Janelle was raised in the mainstream LDS church, which explicitly forbids polygamy. Entering a polygamous relationship with Kody and Meri Brown went against everything she originally believed.
