Alaskan Bush People: Will Ami Brown Reconcile with Relatives Before She Dies?

As previously documented on Alaskan Bush People, Ami Brown is very sick.

The matriarch of a family that has sky-rocketed to popularity as a result of its Discovery Channel reality show has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

On an early July episode of the aforementioned series, husband Billy Brown opened up for the first time about the severity of his wife’s illness,

“Ami started getting sick months ago and we didn’t know what it was, but it changed from the point of ‘something’s wrong’ to ‘something’s wrong,’” he said on camera.

The disease is tragically so serious that Ami is receiving medical attention somewhere in the lower 48 states.

Why is this an especially big deal?

Because the Browns rarely live their remote section of Alaska.

They’ve carved out their own little existence up there and will sometimes go months without having contact with anyone outside of the family.

Speaking in a bit more detail about the diagnosis, Billy added a couple weeks ago:

“They’ve got to do some more tests and stuff and what they can see is stage 3 cancer. She could easily be stage 4.”

Stage 4 is the most serious. It would mean Ami does not have very much time left.

In light of this terrible news, Ami’s estranged brother, Les Branson, tells Radar Online that he really hopes this mother has a chance to reunite with her daughter.

Ami and Eugene Branson had a falling out many years ago and are no longer in contact.

They have not been in contact for a VERY long time.

“It would be hard because my mother is 84, and she has early Alzheimer’s,” explains Les, who hasn’t seen his sister in almost four decades.

“I’ve called the network, and my mother has called them and left messages. If we knew where Ami was, we would make every attempt to go and find her.”

It is believed that Brown is receiving her treatment in Los Angeles, but the family has not confirmed this report.

Ami last saw her brother and mother a few months after she married Billy at the age of 15.

“We have sent so many letters over the years and Billy destroyed then,” Les says, adding:

“Billy has kept her from us for 38 years and he is to blame. It has never been Ami’s choice. Billy has been controlling her since she left us!”

According to various reports online, including the social media photo below, the Browns recently traveled through Arizona and are now in Dolores, Colorado.

This is where Ami’s son, Noah, and his fiancee, Rhain, are set to get married.

Because the Discovery Channel has even set up a crew and a camp in Colorado, it is assumed that Ami will continue to receive treatment there while the series continues to film.

We’ll keep readers apprised of Ami’s progress and we’ll ask you to keep her in your thoughts.

Katherine Jackson: Held Against Her Will in Hotel by Greedy Relatives!?

For most people, going out to grab a bite of cheap food late at night is a regular habit.

When 87-year-old Katherine Jackson was spotted doing it, however, it was nothing short of alarming.

TMZ reports that the matriarch was spotted at a West Hollywood diner at 11pm on Wednesday night.

She was seen in the company of one bodyguard and two women.

That’s a long drive from her Calabasas home, particularly considering that she’s 87 years old and said to be fond of living at her home and having meals prepared by her personal chef.

She’s reportedly living in a hotel near her Calabasas home.

And apparently some family members worry that this is all part of a power struggle for control over Katherine herself … and, therefore, over the family’s considerable fortune.

It’s horrible to think of what people will do to obtain access to and control over someone else’s money.

Unlike a lot of crime dramas would have us believe, it’s very rarely about murder.

In fact, when there’s an ironclad will in place, sometimes the worst thing for someone taking advantage of an elderly relative would be their death.

Then they’d be left with nothing but their own inheritance.

But by accessing the family fortune directly — gaining access to it with access to Katherine herself — they could have an unlimited money supply.

Until Katherine has enough, that is.

There may be good reason to worry about Katherine Jackson’s well-being.

In addition to accusing her nephew and former driver, Trent, of emotional abuse, Katherine is said to have feared for her physical safety in retaliation for finally parting ways with him.

But even out of Trent’s clutches, there may be others who are looking to take advantage of her and in particular to keep her away from her grandchildren.

She’s been away from grandson Blanket so much recently that his sister Paris is reportedly concerned.

It may be that other Jackson relatives are taking her under their proverbial wings and literal influence.

They could be keeping her isolated and in some ways dependent on her.

An 11pm visit to a diner isn’t a standard pit-stop for Katherine, but it’s possible that she isn’t calling the shots in her life anymore.

But before we ring any alarm bells, we need to look at other possible explanations.

First of all, 87-year-olds can absolutely stay up until midnight or later.

They can also have food cravings — and even women who like formal meals might get the occasional hankering for something simple and greasy.

The guard with her might be entirely her doing.

After all, she’s a wealthy woman and she at one point stated that she was afraid that Trent would come after her.

A bodyguard would help with that.

Trent had complete access to her house and she might very realistically fear that he could still get in. She might also worry that he’s left monitoring devices behind.

Sounds like a great reason to stay somewhere else to us.

Ultimately, we’ll see, and just because we can think of alternative theories doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be concerned for Katherine Jackson’s well-being.

Anybody who loves their grandmother wouldn’t want to think of her in this kind of situation.
