Brown was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge in December 2022. He allegedly threatened his brother with a hammer and a broken-off knife blade. In one episode of the show, Brown admitted that he found himself in a "dark place" amid drinking problems. “A lot of drinking is what happened,” he explained. “I was drinking a lot. I just found myself in a dark place because I couldn’t really find everybody. It’s kinda like looking for your keys, when you stop looking, they’re right there type of deal. I started to realize what was in front of me. From there, now I’m good.”
