Reality TV

Janelle Brown is remembering happier times in the wake of her son, Garrison Brown's death -- posting a photo of the last time her whole brood was together.

Just a couple days after reflecting on Garrison's passing -- which occurred earlier this week -- the "Sister Wives" star shared a sweet family memory ... throwing up a pic on her social media that featured all six of her kids, whom she shares with her ex, Kody Brown,

The picture, Janelle says, was from Christmas ... and she wrote, "I had all my children together last Christmas. It was amazing as it's hard with everyone's busy lives to coordinate time like this. I am extremely grateful now that we had pictures taken."

The holiday allowed for Janelle to snap a pic of herself with her kids and grandkids -- the image marking the last full family photo for the reality star ... and obviously more poignant now in the wake of Garrison's passing.

The new upload marks Janelle's return to social media after announcing Garrison's death, who died by suicide on Tuesday -- this after she confirmed that her son had passed away.

We broke the story ... Garrison -- who appeared alongside Janelle and Kody on "Sisters Wives" -- took his own life at his home in Flagstaff, AZ. Flagstaff PD told us that Garrison's brother Gabriel was the first to discover him.

While we're told that Garrison died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound ... an investigation is still reportedly underway. Cops spoke with Janelle the day he died -- and she alerted them to alarming texts he'd sent to people they'd worked with before, and that raised red flags.

Garrison is survived by several family members -- as the Browns were famous polygamists before Kody's respective splits from wives Meri, Christine and Janelle over the last couple years. He was only 25.

RIP

Larsa Pippen will not apologize for being generous with the Benjamins for daughter Sophia's allowance ... defending her parenting, and saying her teen daughter is also earning her own dough.

ICYMI, Sophia's hefty allowance is $2,500 per month, and it became a hot topic during Thursday's reunion for "The Real Housewives of Miami." While Andy Cohen was shocked to learn the 15-year-old was getting so much, Larsa claimed that number isn't that uncommon in Los Angeles, where her daughter resides.

As the Bravo personality put it ... L.A. is a super expensive town and the massive sum gives Sophia the freedom to order food, buy presents for friends and more.

She also says a large chunk of that change is earned by Sophia, who has appeared in campaigns for both Fashion Nova and Oscar de la Renta -- like most L.A. teenagers, we suppose?

Larsa's castmate Adriana de Moura came to her defense, calling her a good mom ... but noted that the reality TV star had other faults they could focus on.

For instance, Guerdy Abraira has struggled to forgive Larsa for revealing her cancer diagnosis without her permission.

While Larsa tried to apologize again at the reunion ... Guerdy made it clear she had no time to deal with the drama.

Larsa's main supporter during the episode was boyfriend Marcus Jordan (AKA son of basketball legend Michael Jordan).

While Marcus declared his love for Larsa during the reunion ... the two have had some recent drama off-screen. Remember, Larsa and Marcus faced breakup rumors last month after they unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Larsa -- who was previously married to Michael's teammate Scottie Pippen -- said during "The Traitors" reunion, which also dropped Thursday ... "We're working on our problems."

We may need a roadmap to follow all this drama.

"Love Is Blind" stars Jimmy Presnell and Chelsea Blackwell might not be over after all ... as the season 6 exes are having a surprise reunion down in Florida.

Spoiler alert here, in case ya haven't seen the finale yet!

So, those who did see it know Jimmy called things off with Chelsea, ending their engagement even before they got to the altar in the finale episode that dropped this week. However, they're stirring reconciliation buzz now after appearing to share a meal together Thursday while out and about in the Sunshine State.

Though they didn't post pictures of each other, they both shared images from JB's on the Beach in Deerfield Beach ... with a bottle of Corona providing a major clue.

Earlier in the day, Chelsea (AKA the Megan Fox girl) mentioned she was heading to the Fort Lauderdale area for her best friend's wedding. She later posted a pic of herself enjoying a meal at JB's, where she appeared to have a dinner companion who was enjoying a certain Mexican cerveza.

Fans flocked to Jimmy's social media -- where he uploaded an image from the same restaurant and, yes, he had ordered a Corona. But it took a TikTok video to officially confirm the reunion, as the upload showed Jimmy and Chelsea smiling and laughing while enjoying their meal.

The twosome happily snapped a photo with a fan, too -- so it's clear they are on friendly terms.

The supposed reconciliation would be a far happier ending than the pair had on 'LiB' ... which showed Jimmy canceling their nuptials after several explosive fights -- one of which was over his close friendship with a former lover.

Thankfully, fans are set to get all the relationship deets when the reunion episode premieres March 13 on Netflix.

And it's clear there is a lot to get caught up on ... remember, Jessica Vestal was recently spotted with castmate Johnny McIntyre days before she teased she was dating an unnamed costar.

That would be an absolute bombshell, though, as Johnny was the only guy to actually get married this season ... and it wasn't to Jessica!

"Naked & Afraid" keeps hitting new milestones ... this time it's a starving contestant driven to munch on leeches that were trying to munch on her, and the footage ain't for the weak!

The jaw-dropping survival tactic is goes down on Sunday's episode of the Discovery Channel hit -- Sarah Barnett's instincts kick into gear while wading through croc-filled water for food, and suddenly opting to turn the tables on the blood-bloated suckers.

Sarah fearlessly peels several wriggling leeches from her leg, gathering just enough to keep her hunger at bay and feed her partner, Sam Strong, in their battle for survival in the unforgiving wilds of South Africa's Black Hills.

Of course, Sarah's not aiming for Michelin stars here, she's just focused on staying alive -- as you can see when she bravely chomps down on one of those suckers ... seared over their campfire.

Sarah very nonchalantly informs Sam about the extreme menu item, telling him blood burst into her mouth when she bit into the leech.

While she has zero gag reflex, poor Sam feels the squeeze just watching Sarah chow down ... and decides to give it a hard pass, despite being absolutely ravenous.

Hey, everyone has a limit, even on "Naked and Afraid."

These California natives won't just be battling leeches; they're also dodging man-eating crocodiles, prowling lions, and venomous snakes during their 21-day survival challenge.

Tan Mom is bowing out of the race for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida, and, oddly, Wendy Williams -- of all people -- played a role in her decision ... TMZ has learned.

The bronzed mother of 5, whose real name is Patricia Krentcil, says in a new video obtained by TMZ that she's dropped out of the running after watching the new Wendy documentary, and comparing it to her own reality series, "Tan to 10."

Tan Mom says she realized she could end up like Wendy, who struggles with alcohol abuse and a myriad of other health issues, if she continued with all the pressure that comes along with a political run for office.

Another factor ... mass layoffs at struggling and bankrupt Vice Media.

Tan Mom says she was filming a documentary about her campaign for Vice, but the media company pulled the plug and has not paid her or her team a dime, despite a contract she says she signed with Vice.

Patricia says the Vice staffers who were working on her documentary told her team a couple weeks ago their entire department was laid off, and would try to get her paid -- but Tan Mom says the whole thing has been a waste of time and effort and greatly hurt her campaign.

She also took time off the campaign trail in November to undergo a risky medical procedure ... bypass surgery to remove a stent separating her pancreas and liver.

When she announced her Senate bid last year, Tan Mom told us she was motivated to run because of Florida's hot-button issues ... like healthcare and drag show bans.

Even though she's waving the white flag, Tan Mom says she's proud of all the work she did on her campaign -- such as a Town Hall she filmed at Hamburger Mary's supporting the LGBTQ community.

Sean Garinger murió tristemente en la propiedad de su madre después de que su ATV se volcara sobre él, y ahora su familia está honrando el espacio como tierra sagrada.

Echa un vistazo a estas imágenes obtenidas por TMZ, que muestran el pedazo de tierra que se derrumbó cuando la estrella de "16 and Pregnant" quedó clavado por culpa de su ATV, el que aplastó su cabeza y le quitó la vida antes de que pudiera recibir ayuda.

Como se puede ver, hay un mini-deslizamiento de tierra en la ladera de una colina junto a un camino de tierra. Aquí es donde la madre de Sean, Mary Hobbs, dice que estaba aparcando el ATV para hacer espacio para su carro cuando ocurrió el accidente. Ahora, hay un altar improvisado que tiene flores y carteles que dicen: "Te queremos Squishy". Nos dicen que ese era el apodo de Sean.

María nos dice que están planeando hacer un monumento permanente.

Su padrastro Dan Wolfe está construyendo el monumento y le dice a TMZ que habrá un muro de piedra con un grabado láser de la foto de Sean, además de una urna personalizada hecha de madera de cerezo negro, grabado con láser con la huella del pulgar de Sean. Esto, además de su foto, fecha de nacimiento y muerte.

También habrá un jardín que rodeará el monumento cuando todo esté listo.

María dice que su hijo creció montando ATVs, motos de cross, vehículos de cuatro ruedas, etc y que no estaba haciendo nada imprudente cuando murió. Solo fue una tragedia absoluta.

Sean estaba en la temporada 6 de la serie con su ex, Selena Gutiérrez y ahora sus dos hijos pequeños crecerán sin su padre, algo por lo que Selena está agonizando.

Selena le dice a TMZ que sus dos hijas, Dareli, de 3 años y Esmi y 19 meses son demasiado jóvenes para entender lo que le pasó a su padre. Pero está contenta de que hayan podido pasar tiempo con él unas semanas antes de su muerte.

TMZ también obtuvo algunas fotos de la familia y videos de su última visita con sus hijos, donde Sean aparece amorosamente interactuando con sus hijos. Selena dice que era "un padre increíble que amaba a sus hijas" y su madre dice que sus hijas eran todo su mundo.

Sean solo tenía 20 años.

Sean Garinger sadly died on his mother's property after an ATV flipped over on him -- and now, his family is marking the space as hallowed ground ... and TMZ has the first look at it.

Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ, that show the patch of ground that caved in as the "16 and Pregnant" star was driving his ATV, causing the off-road vehicle to pin him underneath ... crushing his skull in the process and taking his life before help arrived.

As you can see, there's a mini-landslide on a slope of a hill next to a dirt road ... this is where Sean's mother, Mary Hobbs, says he was parking the ATV to make room for her car when the accident happened. Now, there's a makeshift memorial where Sean died ... with flowers and signs that say, "We Love You Squishy." We're told that was Sean's nickname.

Mary tells us they're planning a permanent memorial here ... which is currently in the works.

His stepdad, Dan Wolfe, is building the memorial -- and he tells TMZ ... there will be a stone wall with a laser engraving of Sean's picture, plus a custom urn made from black cherry wood, laser engraved with Sean's thumbprint, picture, birth date and death date. A garden will also surround the memorial when it's all said and done.

Mary says her son grew up riding ATVs, dirt bikes, four-wheelers, etc. ... and he wasn't doing anything reckless when he died ... it was a freak thing, and an absolute tragedy.

Of course, Sean was on Season 6 of the show with his ex, Selena Gutierrez ... and now -- their two young children will grow up without their father, something Selena is agonizing over.

Selena tells TMZ ... their two daughters, 3-year-old Dareli and 19-month-old Esmi, are too young to understand what happened to their father at the moment ... but she's glad they got to spend time with him a few weeks before he died.

TMZ also obtained some family photos and videos of his last visit with his children ... showing Sean lovingly interacting with his kids. Selena says he was "an amazing father who loved his girls" and his mom says Sean's daughters were his whole world.

Sean was only 20.

Kathy Hilton cree que la ruptura de su hermana Kyle Richards con Mauricio Umansky se veía venir desde hace mucho tiempo y expresó su opinión sobre el asunto nada menos que en televisión nacional.

La madre de Paris Hilton hizo su esperado regreso a "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" para la segunda parte de la reunión el miércoles y no se contuvo de opinar sobre el matrimonio de su hermana.

La veterana socialité especuló en voz alta que Kyle probablemente no se precipitó en su decisión de separarse del magnate inmobiliario. Como Kathy dijo: "[Kyle] no es una persona compulsiva".

Con eso en mente, Kathy piensa que es poco probable que Kyle pusiera fin a su matrimonio de 27 años por unos meses difíciles. La matriarca Hilton sospecha que su hermana ha estado considerando la separación durante al menos unos años.

En cuanto a cómo están Kyle y Mauricio luego de su pública ruptura, Kathy dejó claro que están todos muy bien, haciendo sus propias cosas, y destacó la participación de Mauricio en "Dancing With the Stars" como prueba. Esa era su opinión cuando esto se filmó.

Kyle, que ha negado los rumores de que está saliendo con su amiga Morgan Wade, ha cambiado un poco su tono en los últimos meses. De hecho, le dio a Mauricio su bendición para que saliera con otras personas durante un evento de Amazon Live la semana pasada.

Kathy Hilton believes her sister Kyle Richards' split from Mauricio Umansky was a long time coming ... and she expressed her fiery opinion on national television, no less.

Paris Hilton's mom made her highly anticipated return to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for part 2 of the reunion on Wednesday -- and she didn't hold back when it came to weighing in on her sister's marriage.

The veteran socialite speculated aloud that Kyle likely didn't rush into her decision to separate from the real estate mogul. As Kathy put it ... "[Kyle]’s not a compulsive person.”

With that in mind, Kathy thinks it's unlikely that Kyle would end her 27-year marriage over a few rocky months. The Hilton matriarch suspects her sibling has been considering the split for at least a few years.

As for how Kyle and Mauricio are doing in the aftermath of their public breakup ... Kathy made it clear that they're all hunky dory, doing their own things -- shouting out Mauricio's stint on "Dancing With the Stars" as proof. That was her view when this was filmed anyway.

Kyle -- who has denied rumors she's dating gal pal Morgan Wade -- has somewhat changed her tune in recent months ... as she revealed in an Amazon Live stream last week that she and Mauricio are allowed to date other people.

Kyle and Mauricio's split is set to play out on season 2 of "Buying Beverly Hills" ... the family's other reality show. We'll be tuning in!

Los héroes locales que aparecen en "Queer Eye" de Netflix están saliendo en defensa de Jonathan Van Ness, quien ha sido definido recientemente como un "monstruo" en el set de la serie.

Varios participantes que colaboraron con JVN le dicen a TMZ que Jonathan nunca fue poco profesional o grosero durante el rodaje, al menos por lo que vieron. Cory Waldrop, que apareció en la primera temporada, no estaba al tanto de las recientes acusaciones, pero recuerda Jonathan siendo el mismo dentro y fuera de la cámara.

Cory dice que recuerda a Jonathan salir de su manera de tratarlo como la estrella del espectáculo, lo que le permite cortar la línea de camiones de alimentos de producción durante la grabación.

William Mahnken -que apareció en el segundo episodio de la temporada 2- ha expresado un sentimiento similar. Él le dice a TMZ ... que no tenía problemas con Jonathan durante la producción de su episodio, y añade que nunca vio el estilista hacer nada negativo en el set.

De hecho, William recuerda haber tenido varios buenos recuerdos con la estrella de la telerrealidad.

Al parecer, Jonathan incluso prometió llevar a William a los Emmy si su madre no podía ir.

Michael Richard II, famoso por la séptima temporada, dice que Jonathan "siempre fue brillante y simpático" mientras hacía "Queer Eye". En cuanto a la supuesta tensión entre JVN y sus compañeros de reparto -Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, y Bobby Berk- Michael dice que no fue testigo de ninguna mala sangre entre los Fab Five.

Nos dice... "Parecía muy querido por todos".

Ryan Dyer -que apareció en un episodio de la temporada 5- solo filmó con Jonathan por un día, pero dice que tuvo una gran experiencia.

Ahora, Ryan dice que recuerda que Jonathan quería "toda la atención", pero no recuerda que fuera un problema con el elenco y el equipo.

Por supuesto, varios empleados anónimos de "Queer Eye" describieron una experiencia muy diferente, ya que le dijeron a Rolling Stone que Jonathan era un compañero de trabajo lleno de ira con poca empatía por los que le rodeaban.

Hometown heroes featured on Netflix's "Queer Eye" are coming to the defense of Jonathan Van Ness, who's been slammed in a recent exposé as a "monster" on the set of the show.

Several participants who collaborated with JVN tell TMZ ... Jonathan was never unprofessional or rude while shooting, at least from what they saw. Cory Waldrop, who appeared in 'QE's first season, wasn't aware of the recent allegations -- but recalls Jonathan being the same on- and off-camera.

Cory says he remembers Jonathan going out of his way to treat him like the star of the show ... letting him cut production's food truck line during taping.

William Mahnken -- who appeared in season 2's second episode -- has expressed a similar sentiment. He tells TMZ ...he had no issues with Jonathan during production for his episode, and adds he never saw the hair stylist do anything negative on set.

In fact, William remembers having several fond memories with the reality TV star.

Apparently, Jonathan even promised to take William to the Emmys if his mother couldn't make it.

Michael Richard II, of season 7 fame, says Jonathan was "always bright and nice" while making "Queer Eye." As for the alleged tension between JVN and his costars -- Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Bobby Berk -- Michael says he didn't witness any bad blood between the Fab Five.

He tells us ... "He seemed well-liked by everybody."

Ryan Dyer -- who appeared in a season 5 episode -- only filmed with Jonathan for one day, but says he had a great experience with the 36-year-old.

Now, Ryan does say he recalls Jonathan wanting "all the attention" ... but he doesn't remember it being an issue with the cast and crew.

Of course, multiple anonymous 'Queer Eye' staffers described a much different experience, as they told Rolling Stone Jonathan was a rage-filled co-worker with little empathy for those around him.

Teresa Giudice's marriage to Luis Ruelas is doing just fine -- this despite the fact that a new trailer for an upcoming season of her show suggests otherwise ... TMZ has learned.

A source close to the couple tells TMZ that fans of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' shouldn't be concerned for Tre and Louie -- as they've never been better as a couple. In fact ... we're told fans should be praying for the other ladies on the show -- hinting at serious drama to come (for them).

There's no shortage of intrigue in what Bravo teased in the trailer for Season 14 of 'RHONJ.' Like in previous seasons, Teresa's personal life is at the center of the new footage ... with costar Danielle Cabral alleging that the longtime reality star is "distraught" amid supposed trouble at home.

While the sneak peek does not get into many specifics -- they want you to watch, after all -- they do show a glimpse of Teresa and Louie bickering at one point. Another costar, Margaret Josephs, claims in a phone call that Louie has "pissed [Teresa's] money away."

Of course, we can't speak to the validity of this claim ... we reached out to Teresa’s attorney, James Leonard, but no word back just yet.

Still, this topic is likely a sensitive subject for Teresa. Remember, she served 11 months behind bars after pleading guilty to fraud charges back in 2014.

Her ex-husband, Joe Giudice, also pled guilty to the charges and served three years in prison before being released ... and subsequently deported. Since leaving Joe -- she's moved on and married Louie ... and on the surface, there's been no signs of trouble between 'em.

Antes de que Garrison Brown se quitara la vida esta semana, Janelle Brown había enviado a uno de sus hijos para chequear si su hermano estaba bien y la razón por la que lo hizo tuvo que ver con sus últimos mensajes de textos.

De acuerdo con el informe de la policía obtenido por TMZ, los policías dicen que hablaron con la estrella de "Sister Wives" el martes luego de enterarse de que Garrison se había disparado, y describieron lo que Janelle calificó como mensajes preocupantes de parte de Garrison, que había estado enviando a algunas personas el día anterior.

La policía explica que Janelle les dijo que Garrison había enviado mensajes de texto a un grupo de personas con las que trabajaba la familia Brown, presumiblemente como parte de su programa, y sus palabras fueron siniestras.

Según Janelle, a través de la policía, el texto que les envió decía: "Quiero odiarte por compartir los buenos momentos. Pero no puedo. Extraño esos días".

Parece que Janelle se enteró de este mensaje a través del grupo, donde al parecer no estaba incluida, y le dijo a la policía que luego le envió un mensaje de texto directamente a Garrison y tuvieron una breve conversación antes de que dejara de responderle.

Luego Janelle se puso en contacto con sus otros hijos para ver quién podía ir a verlo y su hermano Gabriel se ofreció a hacerlo. Lamentablemente, en el momento en que llegó a Flagstaff, su hermano estaba muerto.

Esto es lo más loco de todo: los policías entrevistaron a 3 de los compañeros de cuarto de Garrison con quienes vivía en ese momento, y algunos de ellos dijeron que escucharon un estallido la noche del lunes, pero no creyeron que fuera un disparo y ninguno de ellos fue a chequear con Garrison si algo había pasado.

No fue hasta que Gabriel llegó a la escena el martes que descubrió a su hermano muerto y sosteniendo un arma de fuego. Llamó al 911, y fue entonces cuando los compañeros de cuarto dicen que se dieron cuenta de que Garrison se había quitado la vida.

Los compañeros de cuarto dicen que Garrison era conocido en la casa por batallar con el alcohol. Gabriel, por su parte, dijo que no se dio cuenta de que algo andaba mal con su hermano, señalando que recientemente había aceptado un nuevo trabajo en un centro médico y parecía estar bien por su cuenta.

Una última cosa, Janelle le dijo a la policía que Garrison estaba distanciado de su padre, Kody. Fuimos los primeros en contarles: Garrison murió el martes a causa de una herida de bala autoinfligida. Tenía 25 años.

Que en paz descanse.

Janelle Brown sent one of her sons to check on his brother before Garrison Brown took his own life this week -- and the reason she did that had to do with his final texts.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops say they spoke with the "Sister Wives" star Tuesday upon word that Garrison had shot himself ... and they describe what Janelle says were troubling messages Garrison had been sending to some people the day prior.

The police explain that Janelle told them Garrison had texted a group of people that the Brown family works with -- presumably as part of their show -- and his words were ominous.

According to Janelle, via the police, his text to them read ... "I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can't. I miss these days."

It sounds like Janelle caught wind of this message to the group -- which doesn't appear to have included her -- and she told police she then texted Garrison himself ... at which point she says they had a brief conversation for a few minutes before he stopped responding.

Janelle then contacted her other kids to see who could go check on Garrison, and his brother Gabriel volunteered. Sadly, by the time he arrived to Flagstaff ... his brother had died.

Here's the craziest part ... cops interviewed 3 of Garrison's roommates with whom he was living at the time -- and some of them said they heard a pop on Monday night ... but didn't think it was a gunshot, and none of them even checked on Garrison to see what happened.

As it turns out, it wasn't until Gabriel arrived on the scene Tuesday that he discovered his brother was dead -- and that he was holding a handgun. He called 911, and that's when the roommates say they realized Garrison had taken his own life.

The roommates say Garrison was known in the household to struggle with alcohol. Gabriel, meanwhile, said he didn't realize something was amiss with this sibling -- noting he'd recently taken on a new job at a medical facility and seemed to be doing okay on his own.

One last thing ... Janelle told cops Garrison was estranged from his father, Kody. We broke the story ... Garrison died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 25.

RIP

Lala Kent acusó a Tom Sandoval de seducir a su ex compañera Rachel Leviss en medio de su romance.

El choque se produjo durante el episodio del martes de "Vanderpump Rules, donde Lala y Sandoval se enfrentaron respecto a como manejaron el hecho de engañar a su novia de mucho tiempo, Ariana Madix. Por no hablar de la participación de Rachel.

Las dos estrellas de telerrealidad se encontraron en una explosiva discusión, Sandoval acusó a Lala de ser menos comunicativa acerca de su propio posible romance con Randall Emmett de lo que él fue en su triángulo amoroso... esto enfureció a Lala.

Ella le devolvió el golpe a Sandoval llamándolo "aterrador" y "loco" por encasillarla después de todos estos años. Después, Lala salió en defensa de Rachel y alegó que Sandoval había manipulado a la ex reina de la belleza.

Al parecer, el comentario de Rachel sobre la necesidad de "alinearse" con Sandoval en la reunión de la temporada 10 dejó a Lala desencadenada, quien dijo: "Tú aíslas. Tú seduces. Mientes".

Ella añadió: "No quiero conocerte. Das miedo". Sandoval, comprensiblemente, rechazó la acusación y acusó a Lala de no conocerlo realmente.

A propósito, "VPR" fue noticia el año pasado después de que se reveló que Sandoval había engañado a Ariana, su novia de nueve años, con su buena amiga Raquel (AKA Raquel).

Mientras que el dueño del bar trató de disculparse por las molestias, fue condenado al silencio por muchos de sus compañeros de reparto por su aparente falta de empatía.

2:34 PM PT -- Janelle Brown acaba de abordar la muerte de su hijo Garrison en redes sociales, donde publicó una foto de su hijo con el mensaje: "Kody y yo estamos profundamente tristes de anunciar la pérdida de nuestro hermoso niño Robert Garrison Brown. Él era una luz en la vida de todos los que lo conocían".

Y añade: "Su pérdida dejará un hueco tan grande en nuestras vidas que nos deja sin aliento. Les pedimos que por favor respeten nuestra privacidad y se unan a nosotros para honrar su memoria".

El hijo de Janelle Brown, Garrison, ha muerto y parece que su muerte se debe a un aparente suicidio, según ha averiguado TMZ.

La estrella de "Sister Wives", que ha aparecido junto a su madre y su padre, Kody Brown, en la exitosa serie de TLC en los últimos años, falleció el martes en Flagstaff, Arizona, donde tenía su propia casa después de haberse alejado de su familia.

La policía de Flagstaff nos dice que los oficiales llegaron a la casa de Garrison el martes por la mañana debido a una muerte y cuando llegaron lo descubrieron sin vida en la escena. Nos dicen que Garrison parece haber sufrido una herida de bala autoinfligida.

Nos dicen que no se sospecha de crimen violento y por ahora la policía está investigando el suceso como un aparente suicidio. La policía de la ciudad dice que el hermano de Garrison, Gabriel, llegó a la casa y lo encontró allí. No se sabe si dejó una nota, una investigación está en marcha.

Garrison ha aparecido en "Sister Wives" desde que se emitió por primera vez en 2010, cuando era solo un niño. La serie narra el estilo de vida polígamo de su padre Kody, quien tiene múltiples esposas. Janelle fue una de ellas hasta que se divorciaron el año pasado.

En cuanto a Garrison, él es uno de los muchos hijos de Kody, y tiene varios hermanos y medios hermanos, muchos de los cuales también aparecen en el programa. En total, es el cuarto hijo de Kody y Janelle. Tiene 5 hermanos directos y otros dos hermanastros de diferentes matrimonios.

Al principio, él y su familia vivieron en Utah, pero con el tiempo se trasladaron a Las Vegas, y cuando llegó a la mayoría de edad mostró interés en alistarse en las fuerzas armadas. Aunque quería alistarse en el Ejército, acabó haciéndolo en la Guardia Nacional.

Garrison se fue de la casa de sus padres hace unos años, durante la pandemia, en medio de una gran disputa familiar sobre el COVID y las estrictas normas que Kody imponía.

Al final, Garrison terminó comprando su propia casa en Arizona y ha vivido allí desde 2021. El tipo era bastante activo en las redes sociales, documentando su vida y sus mascotas.

Su última publicación en Instagram lo mostraba con un nuevo gato al que había dado la bienvenida en su casa, un felino que llamó Sra. Buttons. La describió de esta manera: "La nueva incorporación de mi hogar, la Sra. Buttons. Tiene 9 años y estaba en la fila de la eutanasia, pero mi complejo de salvador no pudo ser suficiente".

Es una tragedia absoluta para sus seres queridos, especialmente para Janelle, que acaba de anunciar que recientemente experimentó un susto de cáncer y tuvo que someterse a la extirpación de dos manchas precancerosas.

A Garrison le sobreviven muchos familiares y seres queridos. Solo tenía 25 años.

Que en paz descanse.
