The new season of Alaskan Bush People is here, and along with it, Ami Brown’s family is speaking out about Billy Brown. It is pretty obvious that her mom and brother are not a fan of the star of Alaskan Bush People. Radar Online shared the news that Ami’s family is revealing Billy was a bit controlling back when they knew him, but they aren’t very close anymore.

Not long ago, Ami Brown of Alaskan Bush People shared that Billy was “the most wonderful, caring, compassionate, considerate husband that any woman could be given.” Ami and Billy Brown seem totally in love on the show Alaskan Bush People. Ami’s mother, Earlene Branson, and brother, Les, gave an interview to Radar Online where they paint a different picture than what you see on television.

When Billy and Ami Brown of Alaskan Bush People got married, she was just 15-years-old. Les explained that Billy Brown might not be what you see on television.

“Billy started acting very controlling of Ami from the very beginning. I realized that Ami never spoke, Billy did all the talking. She would just kind of sit there beside him smiling. I didn’t realize it then, but she wasn’t allowed to speak. She couldn’t speak without his permission!”

Les went on to explain that when his sister Ami of Alaskan Bush People got married at a young age, they were sure that she would stay in school.

Les asked about it and shared saying, “How come Ami’s not in school? You told my mom you’d keep her in high school. He said, ‘That’s none of your mother’s business now.”

Ami’s mom said that Billy told her Ami belonged to him now.

When the Alaskan Bush People couple left Texas to move to Alaska, they didn’t even tell her family that they were doing it. They did everything they could to check on her and even sent out the police to do a wellness check. Ami Brown didn’t have anything to do with her family at all, and 10 years ago, she finally sent her mom a birthday card out of the blue. It turns out that Ami even promised her mom she was going to come see her, but Les feels like Billy kept her from doing it. He explained the details.

“She said, ‘We’re going to come see you on Billy’s book signing tour, we’ll come down and see you.’ We were very excited, thinking we were going to get to see her. I found out later that they drove right by, and Billy wouldn’t let her stop and see any of us. We were absolutely heartbroken. We’re still waiting to see Ami. And we know it’s all because of Billy!”

Ami Brown once explained on Alaskan Bush People that she grew up in an abusive home, but her mom and brother deny these claims. Not long ago, Ami’s mom even made the trip to Alaska to try and see her daughter, but it turns out that the Browns weren’t even in Alaska when they got there. Radar Online shared the details of how she made the trip but didn’t even get to see her daughter. This was what she really wanted for her 83rd birthday, but it didn’t work out. Her mom did say that everyone was nice to her in Alaska, though.
