The Challenge alum Robin Hibbard debuts healthy new look and career as she fights for custody of kids after drug arrests

THE CHALLENGE alum Robin Hibbard has debuted a healthier look and new career as she appears to have turned her life around after multiple drug-related arrests. 

Robin, 44, has struggled with drug addiction years after her stints on The Real World: San Diego and various seasons of The Challenge from 2004 to 2012.

The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal the MTV alum has returned to social media, has a new career and is back in court for custody of her children. 

Robin posted a photo on Facebook in November 2024, as she flashed a smile in the selfie and had her long brown hair straightened. 

Robin appears healthy with loved ones commenting on her “amazing” and “beautiful” appearance.  

The selfie is a major contrast from her April 2023 mugshot, where she was unrecognizable. 

In the mugshot, Robin appeared worse for fear as her face was gaunt and her hair was unkempt.

Robin listed her job on Facebook as Outback Steakhouse. 

She also posted a photo of her two children. 

According to Florida court records, Robin is also making a change in her romantic life, as she filed for divorce from her husband, Bryan Coulter, on November 5, 2024. 

Along with the petition, Robin also filed a parenting plan for her children. 

On December 12, she filed a completed certificate of parenting class. 

Robin also filed a motion for default, which is when the defendant fails to respond to the lawsuit and the plaintiff often requests the judge allow the case to continue without the defendant’s participation. 

A hearing in the case will take place in February. 

Bryan has not responded to the request for divorce. 

All filings in the case are sealed, per Robin’s request. 

LEGAL TROUBLES

Robin was first arrested on August 19, 2019, and charged with possession of heroin and possession of a controlled substance, The U.S. Sun reported. 

On July 6, 2019, police responded to a woman lying on top of a white artificial Christmas tree and holding a blue backpack while sleeping in a Wawa parking lot. 

When they woke her up, they noticed a “capped syringe popping out of the top of her sports bra.”

The police report read, "The defendant realized the syringe was sticking out and attempted to conceal it by pushing it down her bra between her cleavage. Upon doing so, the syringe popped out the bottom of her bra. 

“Again, the defendant attempted to conceal the syringe by pushing it up into her sports bra. The syringe popped back out of the top of her sports bra.”

Robin eventually handed the syringe to the officer and claimed to be “diabetic,” though couldn’t answer their questions regarding diabetes medication. 

She was detained in handcuffs because of her “uncooperative behavior and her condition,” according to the report. 

The report read, “Located within a medium-sized front pocket of the backpack was a clear glass container with a flower lid. Inside the container was a white powder substance, three peach-colored pills with an unidentifiable imprint on them.”

Because of the officer’s “defective” drug testing kits on site, they released her.

It was later determined via laboratory results that the substances were heroin and izolam, resulting in her arrest weeks later.

Her bond was set at $4,000 and she was bailed out on September 5, 2019. 

According to court papers, she pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Robin cited her income as “zero" and requested a public defender.

She later pleaded guilty to both charges and was sentenced to 30 days in county jail.

TRESPASSING

Robin was then arrested on October 17, 2019, for occupying a building in violation of an order to vacate and possession of drugs without a prescription. 

In the Sheriff’s report, officers found Robin in the backyard of a building that had a “no trespassing” sign. 

The report read, “A search of her property revealed 15 blue oval pills marked ‘213.’ Per drugs.com, the pills are a prescription drug known as sertraline hydrochloride 50 mg which she was in possession of without a prescription.”

According to Florida courts, the outcome of the case is “adjudication withheld,” meaning she was not convicted, but may receive a special sentence, such as probation.

BAD HAND

Then on January 27, 2020, she was arrested for trespassing and resisting without violence at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. 

According to the Sheriff’s report, Robin allegedly “caused a disturbance and refused to leave” after being told to by security. 

When officers told her to leave via the front entrance of the casino, she “refused” and tried to go through an emergency exit. 

The report read when officers attempted to arrest her, the “defendant resisted by pulling away from officers while placing handcuffs.”

She was ordered to have no contact with the Hard Rock casino and was not prosecuted for the charges. 

She was also arrested on August 2, 2022, for resisting an officer without violence and giving a false name to a law enforcement officer. 

She pleaded no contest and was found guilty. 

Robin was sentenced to 10 days in jail with credit for time served.

RESTRAINING ORDER

On April 5, 2022, Robin’s family member filed an injunction for protection from domestic violence against her. 

The family member claimed Robin has been unemployed for five years and listed her address as “unknown.”

The family member alleged Robin jumped the gate to their backyard and “danced around on drugs.”

The family member claimed she “tried to break into the locked screen porch.”

She allegedly got in and slept there for three days and “continued her drug use.” 

The protection order read, “[We] watched her inject something in her arm with a needle. She was told multiple times to leave and not use drugs on our property, but did not leave and threatened us repeatedly.

“Finally she became irate on 3/31/2022 and caused such a loud commotion on the carport and front yard screaming loudly and destroying scaping that the neighbors called the police.”

Robin “stormed off” when police arrived at the home. 

The narrative alleged, “[Robin] has been using drugs and stealing money and other pawnable items from us for the last five or six years. 

“She has broken windows, screens and destroyed landscaping. She threatened us with physical harm several times. She has struck and pushed me on several occasions when asked not to use illegal drugs and to leave our property.”

The family member requested Robin “be ordered to participate in treatment, intervention and/or counseling services.”

The court found that the family member “is a victim of domestic violence or has reasonable cause to believe he/she is in imminent danger of becoming a victim of domestic violence by [Robin.]”

She was ordered to stay 500 feet from their home and place of employment, as well as 100 feet from their car.

The former MTV star was also prohibited from committing violence and ordered by the court to enroll in a mental health evaluation within 10 days of the order.

Robin was arrested on April 2, 2023, and charged with violation of domestic violence injunction. 

The incident report read, “[Robin] was harassing the victim and standing/pacing on the driveway at [the family member’s] residence, displaying aggression.

“There is an active protection order against the defendant, which was served to the defendant on 4/14/2022. The protection order expires on 4/13/2027.

"The protection order requires the defendant to not be within 500 feet of the victim's residence and to not communicate with the victim in any way, thus the defendant is currently violating the order.”

The family member “observed her violating the protection order while watching her through the residence’s living room while on the phone with the police.” 

Robin was released from jail on June 8, 2023, per a court order. 

On June 7, Robin pleaded no contest to the charges. 

While pleading no contest does not admit guilt, it allows the court to treat the defendant as if they are guilty. 

She received 67 days of credit served in jail and was released the following day. 

Robin has stayed out of trouble since her release.
