An inside source has spoken out to The Sun about how the Brown family is reacting to the tragic news of the passing of Janelle and Kody’s son, Robert Garrison Brown, specifically about Robyn’s guilt. Garrison passed away earlier this week at the age of 25 due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to the police report, after Janelle received some concerning texts from Garrison, she asked her children to go check on him at his house.
Gabe volunteered, and that was when he discovered the tragic scene. Gabe and Garrison were notoriously close to each other growing up, and appeared to become even closer in adulthood.
In the most recent season of Sister Wives, Gabe and Garrison moved into the house that Garrison had recently purchased.
But according to the police report, Gabe had since moved out and Garrison was living with three other roommates. Janelle also had a particularly close relationship with both boys.
Janelle and Christine Were the Closest to Garrison
The inside source told the Sun, “I’ve never heard her so angry and numb. She’s not processed [it] clearly. She’s definitely not processed this at all. She doesn’t even know which end’s up.”
“She’s very angry right now… She’s not a crier or an emotional person. Takes a lot to get her to break. So I think right now she’s going to go, like, ‘What the heck happened? What did I do wrong?'”
But interestingly, the inside source also spoke about Robyn’s reaction specifically out of all of the four sister wives. Of the four wives, Janelle and Christine had the closest relationship with Garrison.
It’s unclear what his relationship with Meri was at the time of his passing, however she shared a similar statement to what Kody and Janelle shared shortly after the announcement was made.
However, Robyn and Garrison had not had a relationship for many years prior. A feud between the two began when Gabe and Garrison called Robyn and accused her of stealing Kody from the family during the pandemic.
In the most recent season of Sister Wives, Garrison was even seen sarcastically telling an imaginary Robyn that she “could have him” about Kody.
Robyn Is Reportedly Distraught Over Garrison’s Passing
Interestingly, according to the inside source at The Sun, Robyn is the most distraught over Garrison’s passing.
Robyn is notorious for her over-the-top reactions on Sister Wives, so it’s possible that this is no different. However, this may also be a case of “too little, too late.”
Perhaps Robyn is upset that she never made amends with Garrison, and let the estrangement go on for too long, and now has to live with the guilt of that for the rest of her life.
Or maybe she’s even upset that she allegedly encouraged the estrangement between Kody and Garrison for years.
After Gabe and Garrison called Robyn and accused her of stealing Kody from their family, Kody began telling everyone that Gabe and Garrison needed to come to him to apologize if they wanted to have a relationship again.
Many accused Robyn of being the person who was actually requesting that, although she denied that claim many times.
