Billy Brown Explains Why Alaskan Bush People Can Never Return to Alaska
Last week, Ami Brown was honored on a birthday that many had feared she would never live to see.
Alaskan Bush People is back (and trampling Keeping Up With The Kardashians in the ratings), and the Brown family is reflecting on how grateful they are.
Billy Brown shares that the decision to move the family to Washington was difficult — but there was never really another option.
In an interview with Monsters and Critics, Billy Brown says that the decision to move to Washington came after they realized that there was no real alternative.
“We didn’t really have much choice in how we decided,” Billy admits.
Alaska, he says, was a non-starter. “The doctors were quite emphatic that we couldn’t go back there.”
“it was just too hard to get her to…to set up something she would need if something happened.” Billy explains.
Billy adds: “and we also have to go in every three months now to get CAT scans and CT scans.”
The Brown family has made a lot of money with their show, but not enough to build a private hospital in the wilderness. Moving to Washington was a practical choice.
“I guess it was just time, you know, the Good Lord, it was just time…” Billy says. “You wouldn’t believe what he gave us.”
“We thought everything was gone,” he says, referring to Ami’s lung cancer. “But you have a little bit of faith…he gave us more than we could ever imagine.”
As you may recall, around this time last year, her odds of survival were placed at around 3%. She’s still alive and well.
“We could not have ordered it in a dream and it have been better than what he had given us,” Billy says. “It’s just a brand new world.”
Billy and Ami weren’t the only Brown family members who had input on the matter.
“The doc was saying how hard it was on Mom and everything,” Bear explains in that same interivew.
“We all figured that it was just time” to move, he reveals, adding “and the best thing to do” was to head to Washington.
Bear explains: “because if we were waiting until Mom was healed up to move back…”
“It seems like one thing that may never happen and she would be constantly waiting,” Bear concludes. That is very honest of him.
Billy says that, even though moving to the “Lower 48” was a big decision, he is fond of the 435 acre property he purchased.
“It really surprised us,” Billy says of their new homestead. “Because it’s wonderful what we’ve got.”
“The people down here,” Billy adds. “It’s a lot like Alaska to be honest with you.”
Rumor has it that some of Billy’s new neighbors are resentful of people they see as entertainment industry “big-shots” turning their town into a reality show set.
“People’s attitudes and all,” Billy says. “Critters that we’ve never heard of.”
During the season premiere, Billy commented on their new home.
“We’ve fought hard,” Billy said at the time. “We deserve to be here.”
“I think this is definitely the biggest adventure we’ve had,” he added.
Thankfully, Washington gave them the right balance of a rural wooded environment while also being a location from which they could take Ami to the hospital when needed.
We have to admit, however, that many fans are still curious about whatever happened to the family’s plans to move to Colorado.

Billy Brown Reveals that Ami Brown Spent 20 Minutes in a Death-Like State
Thankfully, Alaskan Bush People star Ami Brown’s cancer is in remission again.
Now, she and her husband are speaking about her cancer and her health.
And, for the first time, they are revealing that she had a serious brush with death after she first went into remission.
RadarOnline spoke with Billy and Ami Brown about Ami’s cancer battle and one truly scary moment when she appeared to have lost her life.
“In November, when everything was over,” Billy says. “She was supposed to be healed.”
As we reported, Ami’s cancer went into remission early last November in what some fans described as a “Christmas miracle.“
However, Billy shares that her battle was not over, even though her cancer had been beaten back.
“And,” Billy describes. “She fell over dead for like 20 minutes.”
That sounds so frightening, even though we know that she’s still alive and kicking nearly a year later.
“It was horror,” Billy shares.
He says that even after that terrifying incident, they worried for her health. Both cancer and chemo can be hell on the body.
“We sat there and watched her go down every day,” Billy describes. “And I didn’t know if I would lose her or not.”
For a time, it seemed certain that she would fail to beat the odds.
Billy summarizes the entire ordeal: “It was a real hard test of fate, I will tell you that.”
We can only imagine so. This was trying for the whole family.
The good news, however, is that despite Ami’s hospitalization back in May, she has beaten back her cancer yet again.
But that is not the same thing as saying that she is cancer-free.
“She still has stage 0 primary,” Billy shares. “And there are still traces.”
She has to return every few months for screenings so that they can monitor her health.
“But they took the majority out,” Billy says. “And the growth is really slow.”
Some cancers grow more quickly or more slowly than others. Each has its risks.
Ami also spoke about her experience with cancer.
“When I found out, we didn’t really know what it consisted of,” Ami says.
Ami frames her illness in a religious context, saying: “God gave me the cancer. I look at it as a blessing.”
Not everyone can do that. Some people find their faith rattled by a terminal illness.
“It has taught me to stay positive and lean on the Lord,” Ami shares. “And always let your loved ones know how much they mean to you.”
“Never give up and never surrender,” Ami advises.
We don’t think that she is deliberately quoting Galaxy Quest. It’s just good advice.
‘Be strong,” Ami counsels. “And live every single moment, every day to the fullest.”
That is great advice. We’re glad that she learned to approach life with these values.
But of course we hope that her cancer does not make another comeback. She’s already beaten the odds, and we would all prefer for it to remain that way.

Billy Bush and Sydney Davis File for Divorce
In September of 2017, it was revealed that Billy Bush and Sydney Davis had separated after 20 years of marriage.
At the time, the couple said that they were just on a “short-term break.”
Now, however, it looks like their split is official — because they have filed for divorce.
Remember when Access Hollywood was just what it sounded like, and not synonymous with Donald Trump bragging about “accessing” women’s genitals without their consent?
Billy Bush sure does. His career was banished into the void after those hot mic recordings surfaced in October of 2016.
Nearly a year later, news broke that Billy and his wife, Sydney Davis, were separated.
TMZ reports that Sydney filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
And they have some details on how this divorce will take shape.
Sydney is seeking joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s two minor children.
Unlike 13-year-old Lillie and 17-year-old Mary, Josie, who is their eldest daughter, is 19 and therefore an adult.
According to the papers that Sydney filed, she intends for Billy to get visitation.
Divorce can impact adult children, of course, but it’s usually (barring special circumstances) only the underage children of the couple who are directly named the divorce.
Both daughters are teens and that is usually old enough for a court to take their input into consideration if this becomes a custody battle.
Then, of course, there’s the question of spousal support.
TMZ reports that Sydney is definitely seeking spousal support, which makes sense.
They do not, however, specify the amount of support. Perhaps that will become clear when they appear in court.
We hope that they can work out financial matters amicably. Sometimes, even divorcing couples who have worked out custody without an issue suddenly become hostile when money becomes a topic.
It is worth noting that, though Billy Bush was fired from Today after his conversation wtih Trump surfaced, he scored a settlement worth $ 9 million.
Overall, his net worth is estimated to be about $ 15 million.
RadarOnline reports that Billy Bush feels blindsided by Sydney’s divorce filing.
“He really didn’t see this coming,” the insider reveals. “And thought that their trial separation would make all the problems go away.”
Oh, that’s … so sad.
The source continues, saying: “He truly believed they were in the process of fixing things.”
“Her request for spousal support makes him even more upset,” the insider adds.
Uh-oh.
The source explains Billy’s thinking, saying: “She knows he is not making the kind of money that he used to.”
Divorces, as we mentioned, can go from amicable to acrimonious in the blink of an eye.
We sincerely hope that Billy and Sydney can work things out quickly and with as little stress or conflict as possible.
Sometimes, couples will agree to an arrangement with finances and custody on their own, or with the help of a mediator.
If not, well, then it becomes a judge’s job to decide. Generally speaking, it’s better for both parties involved to come to an agreement.
We wish this family the best as they go through this divorce.

Billy Knight: Former UCLA Basketball Star Found Dead Amidst Child Sex Scandal
Former UCLA basketball standout Billy Knight was found dead on a road near Phoenix this week.
He was just 39 years old.
News of Knight’s death comes just weeks after he was charged with six felonies in connection with his alleged sexual assault of a child.
TMZ reported this week that the girl who accused Knight was just 9 years old.
Knight’s cause of death has yet to be determined by a medical examiner.
However, Phoenix police have noted that there were no signs of foul play, which in this case, would seem to indicate that Knight took his own life.
According to initial reports, Knight was found unresponsive just before 3 am on Sunday.
He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Just days before his death, Knight — who played for UCLA from 1998 to 2002 — posted a YoiuTube video called “I am Sorry Lord.”
“This is probably my last message on Earth,” Knight said in the video.
“I just want to say that I lived a life of sin. I lied. I cheated, and I stole from many people. I was a taker. That’s why my life ended up where it is now.
“Life is not a game,” Knight said.
“You can’t play around with life. It’s serious, and I wasn’t honest with a lot of people, even my mom, my brother and my family members.
“I isolated myself from my family members. I isolated myself from my friends, and that’s not something you should do.”
“I’m lost in life, and I feel like there’s no hope,” he continued.
“I have no friends with me here. I have no wife, girlfriend. I have nothing, and I just feel like I can’t continue on.”
UCLA has issued a statement on Twitter in response to news of Knight’s death.
“Our hearts are heavy after learning Billy Knight has passed away,” reads the statement, which was released before the charges against Knight came to light.
“We ask that the Bruin family keep Billy’s loved ones in their thoughts during this difficult time.”

Billy Bob Thornton Reveals "Only Reason" He Split With Angelina Jolie
Long before Angelina Jolie divorced Brad Pitt, the actress was involved in a different high-profile breakup.
Yes, some of our younger readers may not even remember the days when Jolie was married to Billy Bob Thornton, but that relationship happened — and it was every bit as bonkers as it sounds.
When the 19-year age difference and the fact that one of you is named Billy Bob are not even the weirdest things about the relationship, you know you’ve got something special.
Thornton and Jolie met on the set of the 1999 film Pushing Tin, and they married the following year.
The marriage only lasted three years, but oh, the memorable moments they provided us with during that time.
Angie and Billy Bob wore vials of each other’s blood on necklaces.
They informed the whole world that they’d just had sex in the days before social media when we weren’t accustomed to knowing way too much about each other’s lives.
And of course, they got tattoos in one another’s honor, but we’re pretty sure Angie has commemorative ink for every human she’s ever crossed paths with, so that’s no biggie.
The point is, Billy Bob and Angie seemed to be head over heels for one another.
So where did it all go wrong?
Well, as you’re no doubt aware, Jolie is the jet-setting type — the kind of person who makes the entire party cringe when she describes herself as “a citizen of the world.”
Billy Bob, conversely, is more of a homebody, and in a recent podcast interview, he revealed that that’s ultimately what led to the end of his fifth marriage.
“Hers is a global lifestyle, and mine is an agoraphobic lifestyle, so that’s really — that’s the only reason we’re probably not still together maybe, because of a different path in life we wanted to take,” Thornton said Wednesday.
“We just had different lifestyles.”
Thornton stated that he has only fond memories of his time with Jolie, a comment that his current wife (lucky number six!) might have mixed feelings about:
“I remember our time together as really being great,” Thornton said.
As for some of the wild behavior that he and Angelina engaged in, Billy Bob says much of it was exaggerated by a media that was at that time obsessed with Jolie’s eccentric ways.
“We had so much fun. A lot of the things [people] said about us at the time were exaggerated,” he said.
“It wasn’t as crazy as people wrote about it. You know what I mean?”
Thornton claimed the infamous blood necklaces were a prime example of this phenomenon:
“The necklaces were a very simple thing,” he said.
“‘Hey, let’s poke our fingers with a pen and smear a little blood on there, and when we’re away from each other, we’ll wear the necklace.’ It was that easy,” Billy Bob explained.
“But by the time it came out in the press, it sounded like we were wearing a bucket of blood around our necks.”
Well, when A-listers shed blood for any reason, it’s generally gonna make the tabloids.
It’s not quite what they mean by the phrase “if it bleeds, it leads,” but pretty close.
