But I guess that's what's going to happen, although it seems to me that his kids enjoyed spending a few weeks with him after the faux adoption. I kind of feel bad for him because he's always done his best to stay out of the spotlight and now it's going to be a huge deal. Having worked in the business of bad guys, it's hard to speculate when there aren't more details, but people like this often display abusive patterns of behavior long before they're ever arrested. It's like the driver who has driven drunk 80 times before they're stopped and arrested (the actual average). Guess we'll find out later on what goes down with the charge against him.

Plus there have been relatives of David's that have posted about their marriage on the Sister Wive's Blog back in the early days of the show who said Robyn was a real piece of work in the marriage (and after seeing her Twitter meltdown, that is believable). That being said, they have also stated that David Preston did have some anger issues too and both were to blame for the problems during their marriage. I am certainly not saying that he gets to skate for being arrested and Robyn is now correct in her judgement of David Preston, just that there is a middle ground to all of this. His case will get resolved and hopefully TLC and the Browns won't use it as another tiger attack on Jessop to up their ratings. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3430-robyn-brown-she-wanted-the-family-but-got-stuck-with-the-man/page/15/#findComment-4241681

xwordfanatik April 17, 2018 Share April 17, 2018 I cannot imagine trying to rewrite history with drawing in the stepfather. After the "adoption" which may or may not have been staged for TLC, the three kids were sent to stay with bio-dad, and Aurora came back and said the experience was "amazing." I'm sure Doofus and bio-mama didn't want to hear that shit...but then, why were they so willing to let the kids make the trip, if they were so worried that bio-dad wasn't fit for a visitation? Yes, that picture drawing with Doofus that Robyn had made was ridiculous, and then some. To have three children with some guy that "stole my purity?" Huh? I remember Robyn calling bio-dad "this kid" or some such disparaging term, when giving that presentation to the Brownlings. So Jessop was good enough to marry and go on to have more kids with?

I agree 100% that parents should never badmouth each other in front of the kids unless it is known that the person is truly horrible. It happens all the time though, very unfortunately. My family and I have taken great pains to not say the things we really want to say about my brother's ex in front of my niece and nephew, even now when they are both adults. But kids aren't stupid, and they usually can see what the true situation is in most cases. As for the crib comment, I don't recall the scene, but maybe she was just saying it in a matter-of-fact way, not as a ploy for sympathy? And the VS stuff could have come after the kids were older and no longer needed a crib. I'm going to admit that I'm quite proficient at retail therapy. It's comforting.

Sandy W April 17, 2018 Share April 17, 2018 I have often wondered if Robyn would have been so eager to marry the Brown family if they had not already landed a contract to "perform" on TLC. Before TLC, there were 13 Brown kids and 4 adults, Robyn entering the fold would have increased the numbers to 16 kids and 5 adults. Before TLC, Kody was employed as a travelling sign salesperson, Janelle had a government job and Meri was employed intermittently, they also had their other MLM scheme, LIV Water going at the same time. I believe Kody won the Lexus convertible as a performance award, so he must have had some degree of success as a salesperson, but doubt that the income generated collectively would have been enough to sustain 21 people. The Lehi home had a mortgage and not enough room to accommodate Robyn and her brood, necessitating a rental property for them, they were also maintaining at least 3 cars at the time. I have read that Christine was on food stamps right up to the start of the program, this does not seem like a good scenario to enter, so I have to question whether the romance with Kody was motivated by true love or true lust for a better life, courtesy of TLC. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3430-robyn-brown-she-wanted-the-family-but-got-stuck-with-the-man/page/15/#findComment-4244087

In reality it could have been an older manufactured/mobile home (perfectly fine) that relied on a wood-burning stove (the norm for Montana, rather than central heat) and she co-slept with her babies. And she most certainly played the crib scene for sympathy, as well as discussing how she took on all the debt after the divorce because she is such a wonderful person; her explanation was very convoluted and never made any sense. I know we are now discussing these scenes years after they happened but at the time they aired, I remember the reaction we all had and the discussions both on TWoP and Sister Wives Blog (including input from folks who know Robyn and David). The general sense was Robyn was BSC and was inaccurately portraying her former life. Relatives said David Preston didn't want anything to do with the media, lived off the grid and didn't care to correct any misconceptions. So we spent a lot of time just wondering what the hell was really up with those two! I have lived in manufactured homes for 25 years. I always strip out the factory installs and put in upgrades of my own and paint, install molding, wainscotting, ceiling applications, window dressings, etc. Same with outside. You can't tell its a manufactured home. The factory even photographs my home to show customers what you can do to fancy one up. I love them! 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3430-robyn-brown-she-wanted-the-family-but-got-stuck-with-the-man/page/15/#findComment-4244153

Look, I don’t care for Robyn much based on the picture she has presented. I think, as someone had mentioned before, she knows how to say what people want to hear. The Browns are a gullible bunch, so she has played them like a fiddle. I’m not saying I think she’s all bad; I just don’t think she’s very authentic. For AUB circles, she wasn’t bad looking. Probably didn’t take much to turn Kody’s head. I think she’s sneaky and Kody does whatever she says or wants. Like I said, I don’t know if her ex is as bad as she claims. He’s certainly no choir boy, that is for certain. But a woman who had been a monogamist all of her married life who suddenly marries a man with three wives, eleventy billion children, a whole lot of debt BUT a proposed reality show is no angel in my book. Good points, from everyone. I do think Robyn was swept off her feet by Kody, or by the idea of Kody and the family - compared to the life she was living before, marrying a cute, charming man with personality to spare and built-in "best friends" probably sounded like heaven to her. I'm sure he painted a rosy picture, and I'm sure those TLC dollars sweetened the pot. I believe Robyn is smart and crafty and has looked out for herself and her children, which I can't really fault. I also believe that she really wishes she had a better relationship with the other wives. I like that she and Christine get along so well now, but who knows how much time they get to spend together IRL. All I can say is, even with all the live-in help these ladies have. their lives look exhausting to me! No thanks! 6 minutes ago, Absolom said: What is BSC? I'm not figuring that one out. Thanks.

I'm sure this was dug up by someone looking to spread some gossip. The same as anything reported about anyone who has anything to do with the Browns. It's not their fault the guy got himself arrested. I do think he may be a bit unfairly characterized by Robyn, maybe. Since he isn't saying jack I think she should do the same. He is still the birth father of those kids and hasn't been removed by a court of law so I take a bit of what she says re him with a grain of salt. He may be a jerk, she may be right about him but he isn't bad enough to go to court to remove his ability to see his kids. If that happened we would have heard about it. I also don't like to automatically think because he has been arrested he is a skeeze. On 4/17/2018 at 10:15 AM, AZChristian said: I live in a double-wide that was built in the 80s. Yep. It's nice.

It's nice that the kids have tried to maintain a relationship with him, but that doesn't mean he's Mr. Wonderful. I think it's funny how people are poo-pooing "a few nights in jail" like that's nothing. Exactly. He's a grown man who obviously did something on the wrong side of the law. I'm not going waste any time feeling sorry for him. I would want to know why he was in jail before I would decide if he were worthy of contempt. People do stupid stuff when they are younger. I know from personal experience (arrested with a friend who was shoplifting even though I wasn't and another time in Mexico at a party that the police broke up and threw everyone in jail). I have a record as a minor in this country and I don't know what happens in Mexico when you are arrested. It cost us 10 min with the judge and $50. I would like to think I am a different person than I was 30+ years ago. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3430-robyn-brown-she-wanted-the-family-but-got-stuck-with-the-man/page/15/#findComment-4250760

Of the 3 wives it sounds like she is a better communicator and keeps a more level head than the others (Kody et al) but she may not have always been that way. I think she is opportunistic and I think many of her stories are either full of poop or greatly enhanced for drama but since I don't have to live with any of them I am not that concerned. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3430-robyn-brown-she-wanted-the-family-but-got-stuck-with-the-man/page/15/#findComment-4250919

If he's an off-the-grid type, he probably keeps a low profile. He may be remarried? We never heard that, did we? Fair enough to say he and Robyn probably share blame, to what degree, we can only guess. You're right that only the two of them really know what went wrong. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3430-robyn-brown-she-wanted-the-family-but-got-stuck-with-the-man/page/15/#findComment-4250950
