Explaining the Estrangement of Kody and Garrison

The estrangement between Kody and Gabe and Garrison was a major plot point on the most recent season of Sister Wives.

But what actually happened between the three men that caused the downfall of their relationship prior to the tragic passing of Garrison Brown this week?

The issues between Kody, Gabe, and Garrison seemed to stem back to 2010, when Kody and Robyn got married. Viewers of Sister Wives watched as Kody seemed to favor Robyn to his other three wives. And quickly, the family members began to speak out about the unfair treatment.

Kody’s Relationship with Garrison Suffered During the Pandemic

But it wasn’t until 10 years later, in 2020, when things took a turn. During the pandemic, Kody created quarantine guidelines that he wanted the family to follow to be able to continue seeing each other. He wanted all of the households to stay separate so that he could continue to go to each house.

He also wanted everyone in each of the households to follow strict quarantine guidelines so that he could do this without getting sick. The only household that agreed to follow Kody’s pandemic guidelines was Robyn’s.

Almost immediately after the pandemic began, the family began to implode as all of the other wives and kids blamed Robyn for tearing the family apart and keeping Kody away from them. The two members of the family who seemed to have the hardest time with this were Gabe and Garrison.

Gabe and Garrison were both living with Janelle, and Garrison was saving money to buy a house at the time. Neither could follow Kody’s guidelines due to their jobs. Kody suggested that Janelle kick them out of the house, but she refused.

Janelle spoke about how each of them were struggling with the pandemic on the show, specifically saying that she was worried about Garrison being lonely, because he wasn’t very social.

Janelle also made clear that she wasn’t going to kick the boys out of the house when Garrison was so close to saving enough money to buy a house, which he eventually did. But the rift between Kody, Gabe, and Garrison was never healed.

Gabe spoke about the feud in a recent episode of Sister Wives, saying: “Me and Garrison are at odds with our dad because when we expressed our discontent with how things were going with COVID, I was met with just a wall, there was no line of dialogue. I think that was what really drove the wedge between us.”

Garrison also spoke out about how they had tried to reconcile with Kody but had gotten nowhere, saying: “We’ve reached out and tried to be open, but it’s been neglected and overlooked for offenses that were believed to have happened but they never did.”

Kody Forgot Gabe’s Birthday

Arguably one of the worst moments in the history of Sister Wives, though, occurred after Kody forgot Gabe’s birthday in an episode from October 2022. According to Gabe, at that point, it was the last time that he and Kody had spoken to each other.

Gabe said, “In January, I got COVID. I didn’t even have a fever, I just lost my smell. October rolls around — specifically Oct. 11, my birthday — and dad calls me and we have a small discussion about how bad my COVID was. I shouldn’t have done this but I did anyway. I didn’t remind him that it was my birthday because I wanted to see if he remembered and he didn’t.

In the most recent episodes of Sister Wives, both Gabe and Garrison seemed to have written their dad off completely, with Garrison telling the camera that “Robyn could have him” because they were adults who didn’t need a father figure anymore.

As Janelle has since confirmed in the police report, Kody and Garrison were still estranged at the time of his passing.

Robyn’s Guilt Over Garrison’s Passing

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.

Where Was Kody When Garrison Passed?

New information is coming to light in the police report detailing the passing of Garrison Brown. For the first time, we have a clearer image of where Kody was when Garrison passed away.

As we’ve seen on TLC’s Sister Wives, Kody Brown had been estranged from two of his sons with Janelle, Gabe and Garrison, for many years. While fans of the show hoped that that had changed prior to Garrison’s passing, it was confirmed that that wasn’t the case.

In the police report obtained by In Touch, Janelle noted in her interview that Garrison was estranged from his father at the time of his passing. And now, we have more insight into where Kody was immediately following the news.

Who Picked Up Kody After Janelle Arrived?

According to the report, after Janelle arrived at the scene, Gabe left to pick up Kody. This is obviously surprising news due to the multi-year estrangement between both Gabe and Garrison and Kody. Regardless, something occurred that caused their plans to change.

Because just a few minutes later, another unnamed family member went to assist Kody, and Gabe arrived back at the scene alone. It’s unclear at this time if Kody was ever at Garrison’s house following his passing, although it does not appear that he gave an interview to police like Janelle and Gabe did.

Kody had been estranged from both Gabe and Garrison since the pandemic in 2020. Their rift began after Kody put strict quarantine guidelines in place that Gabe and Garrison could not follow due to the nature of their jobs.

Because the two were living with Janelle at the time, Kody requested that Janelle kick them out of her house so that he could still visit her. Janelle refused, stating that her kids came first, and viewers watched as their marriage devolved.

They ultimately announced their separation in 2022, and in present day, it appears that almost all of Janelle, Meri, and Christine’s children are in some level of estrangement from Kody. That being said, it has not been made clear yet if that is still the case after Garrison’s passing.

Has Kody Made a Statement About Garrison’s Passing?

Kody made a statement with Janelle about Garrison’s passing, but he has not been quoted in anything beyond that, and it’s unclear how involved he’s been with the family since the incident occurred earlier this week.

Alongside the separation between Kody and Janelle, Gabe and Garrison angered Kody when they called Robyn and got extremely angry with her for keeping their dad away from them.

Kody stated multiple times that if they ever wanted to reconcile, they’d have to apologize to both him and Robyn. According to an inside source who spoke to The Sun, Robyn is having a particularly difficult time accepting the devastating events that have occurred this week.

According to the source, Robyn is “the one who is actually really upset about it.” Given the state of her relationship with Garrison at the time of his passing, it’s only natural to think that she might have some regrets about where she left things with him.

And while many are requesting that Sister Wives gets taken off the air to allow the family time to grieve, it doesn’t appear that that’s going to be the case.

The Sun has confirmed that the Brown family is currently filming the aftermath of the tragic event for Season 19 of Sister Wives.

I’m a Doctor And a Hospital Patient Crossed the Line With Me – I Ended Up Saving His Life

The hospital hallway stretched before me, its pristine white walls illuminated by the soft glow of fluorescent lights. I adjusted the strap of my messenger bag, feeling the weight of responsibility settle on my shoulders. Today was shaping up to be another long day in the chaotic dance of life and death that was my reality as a doctor.

With a weary sigh, I pushed open the door to Jim’s room. The air was heavy with the scent of illness and disinfectant, and the low hum of medical equipment provided a disconcerting backdrop to the scene before me. Jim lay on the bed, his face twisted in agony, his fingers clenched around the sheets. His eyes widened in terror as I approached, his breath coming in ragged gasps.

“Security! Help! Keep him away from me!” Jim’s voice cracked with fear, and I froze in my tracks, my heart sinking with disappointment. Despite my best efforts to conceal them, my tattoos seemed to scream “threat” to Jim, triggering a primal instinct to flee.

Security Guards Stormed the Hospital Room

Before I could even open my mouth to explain, the door burst open, and a pair of burly security guards stormed into the room, their eyes scanning the scene for danger. Jim pointed at me with trembling fingers, his voice trembling with panic.

“He’s dangerous! Get him out of here!”

I held up my hands in a gesture of surrender, trying to calm the situation before it escalated further. “I’m a doctor,” I insisted, my voice steady despite the chaos swirling around us. “I got called in for an emergency. I didn’t have time to change.”

But Jim was beyond reason, his mind clouded by fear and suspicion. “No way someone like you is a doctor,” he spat, his eyes narrowing in distrust.

I reached into the pocket of my jacket, fingers fumbling for my ID badge. With a sense of relief, I pulled it out and thrust it toward Jim, hoping to quell his doubts. “Look, here’s my badge. I work here,” I said, trying to keep the frustration out of my voice.

The guards inspected my badge, confirming my identity with a curt nod. But Jim remained unconvinced, his eyes darting between me and the security guards. “There’s no way I’m letting him near me,” he declared, his voice trembling with anger.

I Couldn’t Shake the Feeling of Injustice

I exchanged a frustrated glance with the guards, knowing that this situation was quickly spiraling out of control. “Fine,” I said, my voice heavy with resignation. “I’ll call in another doctor.”

With a defeated sigh, I turned and left the room, the weight of Jim’s accusations heavy on my shoulders. It wasn’t fair that my appearance should dictate how I was perceived as a professional. But in a world where first impressions mattered more than qualifications, it seemed I was fighting an uphill battle.

I reached for my phone, fingers tapping out a quick message to Owen, a colleague who I knew was on duty that day. Within minutes, he arrived at Jim’s bedside, his brow furrowed in confusion.

“What’s going on?” Owen asked, his voice tinged with concern.

I explained the situation, frustration simmering beneath the surface as I recounted Jim’s refusal to be treated by me. Owen listened intently, his expression growing more serious with each passing moment.

“That’s ridiculous,” Owen said, shaking his head in disbelief. “You’re one of the best doctors we have. Jim doesn’t know what he’s missing.”

Despite his words of reassurance, I couldn’t shake the feeling of rejection that lingered in the air. “It’s fine,” I said, forcing a smile. “I just want what’s best for the patient.”

But deep down, I couldn’t shake the sense of injustice that gnawed at my soul. It wasn’t fair that I should be judged based on my appearance alone, cast aside because of a few tattoos and a rough exterior.

Owen turned to Jim, his expression firm. “Listen, Jim,” he said, his voice gentle but firm. “Derek here is an expert in cases like yours. He’s the best person for the job.”

But Jim remained obstinate, his eyes blazing with defiance. “I don’t care,” he spat, his voice dripping with contempt. “I want a different doctor.”

Owen hesitated, caught between his duty to his patient and his loyalty to his colleague. “I understand,” he said finally, his voice tinged with regret. “I’ll take over from here.”

The Patient Took a Sudden Turn for the Worse

As Owen began to examine Jim, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. I knew that Owen was a capable doctor, but I also knew that my expertise could make a difference in Jim’s treatment. But with Jim’s stubbornness standing in the way, there was little I could do but stand aside and watch as Owen took over.

As I watched from the sidelines, Owen’s inexperience quickly became apparent. He hesitated when ordering tests, his hands shaking as he tried to read Jim’s charts. But despite his best efforts, Jim seemed confident in his decision, his disdain for me evident in every word he spoke.

But then, disaster struck. As Owen administered a medication, Jim’s eyes rolled back in pain, his body going into shock. Owen called for help, panic evident in his voice as he struggled to stabilize Jim’s condition.

I rushed into the room, my heart pounding in my chest as I assessed the situation. Without hesitation, I sprang into action, drawing on years of training and experience as I worked to stabilize Jim’s condition.

Slowly, but surely, Jim’s condition began to improve, the tension in the room easing as his vitals stabilized. As I stepped back from the bedside, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. Despite Jim’s mistrust and disdain, I had been able to make a difference.

I Saved His Life but He Still Directed Anger Towards Me

But as Jim’s eyes fluttered open, his gaze fell on me, his expression filled with fear and hatred. “Get away from me,” he spat, his voice trembling with anger.

Owen stepped forward, his voice firm as he addressed his patient. “Jim, Derek just saved your life,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “You wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for him.”

But Jim remained unmoved, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. “I don’t care,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I want him gone.”

Owen sighed, shaking his head in disbelief. “Fine,” he said, his voice tinged with frustration. “But before he goes, you owe him an apology.”

Jim’s eyes widened in surprise, his gaze flickering between me and Owen. “What?” he stammered, his voice filled with confusion.

Owen nodded, his expression serious. “You judged Derek based on his appearance alone,” he said, his voice soft but firm. “But what you failed to realize is that true character and worth are revealed in actions, not appearances.”

Jim’s expression softened, a look of realization dawning on his face. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I didn’t realize…”

But before he could finish his sentence, I shook my head, a small smile playing at the corners of my lips. “It’s okay,” I said, my voice gentle but firm. “Just remember, not everything is as it seems.”

With that, I turned and left the room, the weight of Jim’s apology lifting from my shoulders. And as I made my way down the hallway, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of hope stirring within me. Maybe, just maybe, Jim’s newfound understanding would be enough to change his perspective, not just on me, but on the world as a whole.

Garrison Brown Last Texts Revealed

Garrison Brown’s last text messages have been revealed in a new police report detailing what happened on March 4 and 5, 2024.

Janelle spoke to police about what happened leading up to the tragic events earlier this week, and what she revealed is both shocking and devastating.

First, she revealed that Garrison sent text messages to a group of people who the family works with, assumedly the Sister Wives production team, and Janelle thought they were alarming.

Janelle was not in the group to receive the messages, but someone who was in the group sent them to her. Janelle told police that one message read, “I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can’t. I miss these days.”

Janelle Asked Her Kids to Check on Garrison

After Janelle was made aware of the text, she texted Garrison herself. Allegedly, they had a text conversation back and forth for five minutes until Garrison stopped responding at 8:39 pm. It’s not clear what their text conversation entailed. At that point, Janelle texted her children and asked who could go to his house and check on him.

Gabe volunteered, and it was the next morning that he discovered Garrison deceased. It was not made clear previously that Gabe seems to no longer live at Garrison’s house. In the most recent season of Sister Wives, Gabe and Garrison were living together as roommates in the house that Garrison owned.

But in the police report, it was revealed that Garrison had at least three roommates — none of whom were Gabe — and they were all interviewed.

Some said that they heard a pop on Monday night, but they didn’t believe it sounded like a gunshot. Because of that, no one checked on him. It wasn’t until the next morning that Gabe went to check on his brother and discovered what happened.

In the report, it was revealed that Gabe was visibly distraught when talking to police. Gabe explained what happened when he discovered him, saying that Garrison’s bedroom door was closed.

Gabe went to grab the key to the bedroom, because Garrison typically locked his door, and instead discovered that the door was unlocked.

Gabe Tragically Discovered Garrison

Gabe entered the bedroom and saw Garrison sitting upright in bed with what appeared to be a bloody nose. He said that he tried to wake him up before discovering his injuries and the weapon in his lap. In the police report, both Gabe and his roommates also revealed that Garrison struggled with alcohol.

This isn’t something that had previously been discussed on Sister Wives, especially because alcohol has notoriously been taboo amongst the Sister Wives family. 

According to one of his roommates, Garrison revealed his issues to alcohol with him recently and told him that he planned to stop drinking this month, but he did not appear intoxicated when they last spoke.

In Gabe’s statement to the police, he said that he had no idea that Garrison was struggling. He said that he had recently started a new job in the medical field and seemed to be doing alright. His roommates explained that he was going to school to become “some kind of nurse.”

As we reported previously, Garrison had just adopted a third cat a few days prior. Whether or not this was a planned and premeditated incident remains to be seen. It’s also still unclear if a note was left behind.

And as for Kody, it seems that Janelle has confirmed that he and Garrison were still estranged at the time of his passing. In the police report, she specifically told police about the estrangement.

She also revealed her own regrets, saying that she wished she had gotten her son help in the past before this happened.

Reba Speaks Out on Ex Husband

Country star Reba McEntire recently opened up about what her marriage with Narvel Blackstock was really like. In an appearance earlier this month on The Drew Barrymore Show, Reba finally revealed how she felt about her time with her former husband. She described it as a “situation” that had always really been about “business.”

The 68-year-old went on to add that she thought that this “works for some people.” She said other couples “can be married or have a relationship and work together.” However, Reba said of her own relationship that “our work was all the time.”

It was only through work that they first met. The singer said that before their 26-year marriage, Narvel and Reba met when they “started out working together in the band.” 

She explained that Narvel “was part of the band, and then became my manager, later on then my husband.” Reba added, “It was a situation that was always business – whether we were getting ready in the morning, pillow talk, whatever, but it was business.”

She even said that their relationship was still all work when they took vacations to “recharge their batteries.” After just a few days of enjoying their break, Reba told Drew that they would have an idea for something else they could work on. She recalled, “About three days into a vacation it was like, ‘You know what we can do?’”

Reba and Narvel Share a Child Together

Despite Reba only sharing details of her former relationship in the last few days, her marriage has been over for years. Us Weekly reported that the couple married in 1989 and split in 2015. It was also reported that Narvel got a fortune after breaking up with his famous wife, walking away with over $47 million. 

Before his marriage to Reba, Narvel had been married once before. This led to the birth of his first three children, including Kelly Clarkson’s ex Brandon Blackstock. Narvel and Reba share one child, Shelby, who celebrated his 34th birthday last month.

People magazine reported that Reba sent her son a special birthday tribute on Instagram on his birthday. She shared a picture of herself and Shelby along with a caption in which she called her son “one of the biggest blessings of my life.” 

Reba also joked in her message that she felt “a lot better” than she did “34 years ago.” She went on to thank God for letting her experience being a mama. She signed off by saying that she loved Shelby “with all my heart and soul.” 

In 2022, Reba talked about how proud she was of her son in an interview with People. Reba was also sure to praise her ex-husband for his part in raising their son.

Reba said that Shelby, who she said had struggled at school, was “always trying to improve and do better.” She then added, “His daddy did a great job, too.”

Although their marriage proved to be too focused on work, Reba feels grateful to have had Narvel in her life. 

Jelly Roll’s Health Journey

In an attempt to turn his life around, Jelly Roll has planned to start on a new journey to lose 250 pounds. To help him, he enlisted the help of a personal trainer, Gary Breka, who considers himself to be a bio-hacker. 

While appearing on the Full Send Podcast, Gary opened up more about what it’s like to work with Jelly Roll, and just how excited he is to start on the journey. “I am so excited to be on this journey with him, and he’s been very vulnerable about it too. He said ‘You know Gary, this is the first time that I’ve felt like my weight is killing me.’”

On top of Jelly Roll’s willingness to put a real effort into his health, Gary also said that he felt incredibly inspired by him and his music. “I feel like that guy’s got a real message for the world. If you really listen to the lyrics in his songs, man it is deep.”

“And you know that those lyrics are coming from a story that is very visceral, very authentic, very real.”

The two of them have both decided that they would work toward the goal of losing 250 pounds first, and then reevaluate when he finally reaches that goal. “We’re going to strip about 250 pounds off of him in the next 12 to 14 months. 250 pounds. He weighed in at 494.” On top of doing all of the classic weight-loss work like eating healthy and exercising, Jelly Roll is also attempting to train for a 5k. 

Jelly Roll Plans to Run His 5k in May

While speaking to People about his journey, he said that he’s really been enjoying the change in his lifestyle and has already seen promising results. “It’s going really good, man. This is the first week in six weeks I haven’t got my miles in just because the Grammys week’s been so rough, but I have been getting in the sauna.”

“As long as I’m training for this thing, I’m just shedding weight. I’ve been eating crazy good, so I’m excited.”

Despite his excitement and determination, Jelly Roll also isn’t letting himself have overly ambitious expectations. As of now, he walks about a 21-minute mile but plans to get it down to a shorter mile in time.

“I don’t know if ‘running’ is going to be the word, but I’m definitely going to get the 3.1 miles done — probably a brisk power walk. My goal is to be able to do a 15-minute mile.”

The 5k that he plans on participating in is set to happen in May, so it’s not too far away at this point. The idea was first brought up by comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura on their 2 Bears 1 Cave podcast. But, Jelly Roll appreciates the challenge.

“Kyle from the [comedy troupe] Nelk Boys convinced me that I could make it to the 5K by May if I dedicated myself to it. I believe in him. I believe in myself.” Now we’ll just have to wait for more updates on his health journey and to see how well the 5k goes for him. 

Where are Carly’s Adoptive Parents?

Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis from Teen Mom, have always been very private. There’s only been a handful of times when they appeared on the show. But most of what we know about them has come from the show as well.

Recently, Tyler spoke out about them. He and Catelynn have always respected Brandon and Teresa’s wish for privacy. This has been a storyline on the show for many years now.

But in early February, Tyler mentioned the two of them in a Tweet. His Tweet was actually a response to another Tweet, a question from one of his followers. And it was all connected to Tyler’s recent new career choice.

Last year, Tyler started an OF account where he offers spicy pictures of himself to his subscribers. More specifically, it was Catelynn who started it for him. 

The two of them opened up about this decision to TooFab in August of 2023. Catelynn explained that she had wanted to start an OF for her husband for a while. This came after Tyler’s body transformed after he began his fitness journey. 

Catelynn said to TooFab that people on social media had been expressing their admiration for Tyler all over the place. She thought that starting a subscription service for anyone interested would be a good idea.

She said: “I kept telling him, kept telling him about it, and one day I just pulled the trigger and signed him up.”

Catelynn is also the one in charge of the account. She explained that it’s her who chooses what content to post, what pictures go up, and what don’t. On top of that, she’s also the one communicating with Tyler’s subscribers. 

Tyler Claims That Brandon and Teresa Wouldn’t Approve of His Career

Tyler, for his part, is just there to be in the photos. But he explained that he doesn’t have a problem with Catelynn making an OF account for him. 

He said he was pretty secure with his body and didn’t mind the images being out there. So he explained that he just told Catelynn to do whatever she wanted with the pictures he was sending her. 

However, the decision to start an OF account met with some criticism on social media. Tyler’s tweet, where he talked about Brandon and Teresa, was in response to someone questioning his new career. 

The person, going under the Twitter name Parvana, was questioning what Brandon and Teresa would think about Tyler’s OF account. They wrote: “How do you expect Brandon and Teresa to respond to this? They don’t want to be associated with this nonsense!”

Tyler responded to the Tweet, saying that he wasn’t worried about what other people thought, including Brandon and Teresa. He wrote: “I refuse to live my life trying to live up to anyone’s expectations besides my own!”

He also commented specifically on the situation with Brandon and Teresa. According to his Tweet, having their approval of his life was a lost cause anyway. He chose to put things like this: “As far as B & T go, I couldn’t please them or get their approval if I was damn Mother Teresa herself.”

In a 2021 reunion episode of Teen Mom OG, Tyler and Catelynn opened up about feeling inferior in their relationship with Brandon and Teresa. Tyler said that he felt the need to be careful what he was saying whenever he would be around them. 

Teresa and Brandon Can Refuse to Allow Catelynn and Tyler to See Carly

He explained that the reason was an unequal dynamic between him and Catelynn and their daughter’s adoptive parents. Catelynn explained that Teresa and Brandon had the power to take away their access to Carly.

We know from the show that when Catelynn and Tyler decided to put Carly up for adoption, they chose an open adoption. This means that they could be involved in Carly’s life. 

She would know who her birth parents were, and they could get to see her as well. But it would be at the discretion of Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa. 

Anytime that Catelynn and Tyler wanted to see Carly, it would only happen with her adoptive parents’ approval. This means that if Teresa and Brandon disapproved of Catelynn and Tyler, they could just not let them see Carly. 

Tyler and Catelynn were definitely feeling that pressure. But even so, there have been nice moments between the two couples. 

In 2019, The Davises were on Teen Mom Reunion along with Catelynn and Tyler. Each of the couples had some nice things to say about the other. 

Teresa recalled the moment when Carly was born and the first time she held her. She said she felt extremely grateful to Catelynn for everything. She said the moment was one-of-a-kind, and there wasn’t anything quite like it. 

As for the other side, Tyler also expressed his thanks to Teresa and Brandon. He thanked them for being amazing parents to Carly. He said that he and Catelynn really couldn’t have asked for anything more than that.

The Tragedy of Garrison Brown

Photo Credit: Garrison Brown/Instagram

Garrison Brown, the son of Janelle and Kody, was found deceased at his home on March 5th, at the young age of 25.

The cause of his death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. But how did everything with Garrison and the Brown family end in such a horrific tragedy?

On the most recent season of Sister Wives, Garrison played a big role on the show alongside his brother, Gabe. The two were frequently featured discussing their fractured relationship with their father, Kody, and how it led to the breakdown of their parents’ marriage.

Garrison and his Brother Gabe Were at Odds with Dad Kody Brown

While all of the adult children were allegedly at odds with Kody due to his Covid-19 protocols, Gabe and Garrison were arguably the most vocal about it on Sister Wives.

Gabe spoke out about the argument on the show, saying:

“Me and Garrison are at odds with my dad because when we expressed our discontent at how things were going with COVID, I was just met with a wall. And there was no line of dialogue. I think that that is what really drove the wedge between us.”

Both of the boys called Robyn to complain about her control over Kody, which ultimately started a public feud and cut off communication between Kody, Gabe and Garrison.

Fans of the show watched for years as Janelle described just how difficult her children’s estrangement from their father was.

Janelle Worried About Her Sons’ Mental Health

On an episode from October 2023, Janelle specifically spoke about how she worried for their mental health, saying:

“I have worried about my boys’ mental health. Gabriel feels everything very, very deeply. But he’s also the kid who doesn’t say anything. [Garrison] just seems angry or sadder, like, he’s not as happy-go-lucky as he used to be.”

She also spoke out about how Kody’s affinity for Robyn played a big part in their feud, saying:

“They have, for a long time, perceived that Kody’s focus, you know … his time, everything … was spent, the majority at Robyn’s house, even when we lived in Vegas. They feel like there’s been a real preference for Robyn. And so, this thing with COVID now – where he’s at her house because she’s willing to follow his rules – they are a little bit suspicious.”

In one of the more recent episodes, Garrison expressed his frustration with the entire situation directly.

He met with Janelle, Christine, Gabe, Janelle’s daughter, Savanah, and Christine’s daughter, Gwendlyn, to discuss the estrangement at Garrison’s house. He said: “You know what Robyn? Have him. We’re all grown adults who don’t need a father figure anymore.”

His siblings who were present seemed to agree with him.Aside from his tumultuous fight with Kody, he seemed to have a happy, full life.

Garrison Adopted a Cat Five Days Before His Passing

He adopted three cats that he posted about frequently on his Instagram, including one that he adopted just five days before his passing. 

In his adoption announcement, he wrote:

“Newest edition to my home, Ms Buttons. She’s 9 years old and was on the line for euthanasia but my savior complex couldn’t suffice. #crazycatlady”

He also was a member of the Nevada Army National Guard, enlisting when he was just seventeen.

In 2019, he started an online clothing store called “Bob’s Florals,” where he sold Hawaiian shirts.

It’s unclear if he was still dating his girlfriend at the time of his passing, but his relationship with his girlfriend was a source of conflict for Kody and Garrison during the pandemic.

Kody claimed that Gabe and Garrison weren’t following the pandemic protocols he had in place because they wanted to see their girlfriends.

Meanwhile, Gabe and Garrison claimed that they weren’t following the pandemic protocols because they had to go to work. 

Garrison specifically was saving money to buy a house in Flagstaff, which he eventually did.

It’s Been a Tumultuous Few Years for the Brown Family

It’s been a tumultuous few years for the Brown family, and now after the tragic passing of Garrison, it’s taken an unexpected turn.

In 2021, Christine decided to leave her marriage with Kody, and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, which began the unraveling of the Brown family as we knew it.

In just a couple years’ time, two of his three remaining wives, Janelle and Meri, decided to leave their marriages as well.

Janelle specifically said that a big reason for her decision to leave Kody was his treatment of their children together.

Since then, all three of the ex-wives and their respective children seem to be estranged from Kody.

However, it seemed like those who were estranged from Kody and Robyn seemed to remain close to each other.

Christine got remarried to David Wooley in October of 2023, and almost all of the kids attended, including Garrison.

Despite everything going on in the Brown family, no one could’ve expected that things would take such a devastating turn.

What Happened to Johnny Cash’s First Wife?

Johnny and his first wife seemed really happy together. But then everything came crashing down around them when Johnny did something really bad to her, and you’ll never believe what happened to her.

Everyone loves the story of Johnny Cash and June Carter. But before they met, Johnny was actually married to someone else. It was during the summer of 1951. Johnny was an Air Force recruit stationed in San Antonio. He went to a roller rink one night and met Vivian Liberto.

How Did Johnny Cash Meet His First Wife, Vivian?

But exactly HOW they met is up in the air, because Johnny and Vivian told their kids different versions of how they met. Vivian and Johnny’s first daughter, Roseanne, heard it this way from her dad: After Johnny caught a glimpse of Vivian, it seemed like she roller-skated right into his heart.

According to Roseanne, Johnny made a bet with his friends at the rink. He said that he’d be walking Vivian home that night. That’s super cute… until you hear the OTHER version. Because Johnny told Roseanne’s three younger sisters something completely different.

Johnny told the other kids that he knocked Vivian down on purpose when he roller-skated by her. Before you think worse of Johnny, he also told his younger kids that he only bumped into Vivian so that he could help her up and get talking to her.

For three weeks after that, Johnny and Vivian kept going on dates. But then, reality hit — Johnny got shipped off to Germany with the Air Force. No one thought that their three-week-long romance could possibly survive, but despite that, Johnny and Vivian’s love story continued.

They actually sent each other over ONE THOUSAND letters, which their kids still have. Those letters are priceless… and they also reveal some unbelievable things. Like how Johnny started signing off his letters to Vivian: He would write to her: from your husband-to-be. At that point, it was really sweet, but those were just words.

Johnny Proposed to Ex-Wife Vivian Through a Letter

But that all changed one day when Vivian got another letter from Johnny that shocked the life out of her. I can only imagine Vivian opening up that letter and seeing what was there. It contained a diamond engagement ring. That ring had traveled from Germany across the ocean for Vivian to put on her finger.

July 1954 was a happy time for Vivian. Johnny’s military service in Germany ended, and he flew back to West Memphis. Vivian was waiting at the airport. She hadn’t seen Johnny in three years. When Vivian looked at Johnny, she said she was speechless. They ran into each other’s arms.

Johnny scooped her up and they kissed passionately. By August 1954, Johnny and Vivian were husband and wife. Their happily ever after didn’t exactly last very long though.

Johnny took a boring salesman’s job, but the 9-to-5 grind wouldn’t last for him. Shortly after their wedding, Johnny auditioned for Sam Philips at the famous Sun Records in Memphis. You won’t believe what Vivian called that moment afterward.

Whether or not it was just a gut feeling she had, Vivian called Johnny’s audition the “one hour that would change everything.” And when Vivian said everything, she meant it.

Their first child Roseanne was born. Then, Johnny released his first single on Sun Records. It got crazy busy for Johnny, going out on the road. Vivian got left home with Roseanne, while Johnny let early success go to his head. Johnny’s new life included other women, too much to drink, and other substances that were just really bad for him.

Johnny’s star was rising, and he started to ignore that his marriage was crumbling. When Johnny did make it home, he and Vivian didn’t waste any time. Eventually, they had three more daughters. Johnny moved his young family to California in 1958.

But he didn’t stick around too long at home. He left again to sing hit songs and star in movies. Vivian got left home in California with four kids to take care of by herself yet again. Roseanne said later that her dad was absent most of the time.

Every time Johnny did make it home, he and Vivian threw big parties and BBQs. Roseanne didn’t know any of them when she was a kid, but many country music stars came over to party back then — and Roseanne did get a weird feeling about one lady who was good friends with her dad.

Roseanne Cash Has Spoken Out About Her Childhood

Her name was June Carter. Roseanne has said that she sensed something was wrong at home. Vivian was terribly sad. Sometimes she got furious and acted out. Roseanne was a young child, and she was frightened. It’s honestly pretty shocking to hear what Roseanne has said about her childhood.

She apparently figured that her mother would hurt herself badly enough to end it all. And with her dad barely ever around, it’s unbelievable for a kid to grow up feeling that way. 1965 was a bad year for Johnny, but nothing compared to what happened to Vivian.

Johnny got arrested in Texas. The newspapers were all over his awful news. A photo got published with the story of Johnny’s arrest, but it was just one little photo that shocked the world. The rumor mill went crazy. The photo had nothing to do with Johnny’s arrest or any real crime.

All it was was a picture of Johnny and Vivian — and all the hate groups had a meltdown. By the way, there is one important detail you should know about Vivian: She grew up thinking her family was a mix of Italian-American, Irish, and German.

Unfortunately, the bigots who saw Vivian in the photo thought that was a lie, because they thought that Vivian looked Black, and they went crazy. Johnny had a huge Southern fanbase. There was such an uproar among the bigots that Johnny had to cancel concerts across the south.

But that’s nothing like what Vivian had to go through. Back home, alone in California with four innocent young girls, Vivian was receiving threats to her life. She was afraid for herself and her kids. I don’t know how Vivian managed to do this, but somehow, she waited until things got quieter again.

Vivian Filed for Divorce and Johnny Didn’t Even React

And then Vivian did something unbelievable She filed for divorce from Johnny — and her reason for the divorce was shocking and so sad. She’d hoped that the divorce would make Johnny come home and try to save their marriage. But what Johnny did was more shocking…

He didn’t reach out to Vivian. He didn’t even say anything about the divorce. Johnny didn’t even come back to California to see Vivian or his kids. He moved north of Nashville to an apartment with his buddy, Waylon Jennings, and if the rumors are true, Johnny and Waylon got up to no good for a while.

Finally, Johnny wised up. He moved into a lakefront property in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Johnny only had one concern in mind: He wanted his girls to visit him, so he stayed in that lakefront house and waited.

Eventually, Johnny got clean, and everything became clear to him about Vivian. Johnny realized that the divorce was meant to save his reputation with his fanbase, and Vivian was really putting herself on the chopping block to save Johnny.

Because Vivian was raised in the Catholic church, and in the 1960s, a broken marriage was like a dirty mark on Vivian’s soul. The church EXCOMMUNICATED Vivian as if she’d committed some mortal sin. Even worse was how Vivian’s family treated her.

Her dad was strictly religious and didn’t pity Vivian or believe her reasons for getting a divorce. If anything good came out of that, it made Johnny start acting like a real man. Because Johnny felt terrible about how he’d treated Vivian, he wrote a painful letter to the head of the Catholic church who knew about the divorce.

Johnny took all the blame for the breakup of his marriage. I mean, he put it ALL out there. He admitted to everything that he’d done wrong to his wife, how he’d gotten hooked on substances, his infidelities, and how he was never at home for his kids.

Vivian’s Church Took Her Back In and She Ended Up Remarrying

Maybe it wasn’t a happy ending for Vivian, but the church took her back in, and her dad finally came around. After their marriage ended, Vivian got her own house and lived with her daughters. She actually became very private, but helped out in her community and enjoyed gardening.

Eventually, something surprising happened to Vivian. It involved a police officer His name was Dick Distin, and he married Vivian. She maintained a quiet life until she passed away in 2005. Life wasn’t easy for Vivian, but I think she did her best for her family and Johnny.
