Billy and Ami Brown may seem very much in love on recent episodes of Alaskan Bush People. The mother of seven even told Cvillain.com last year that she had “the most wonderful, caring, compassionate, considerate husband that any woman could be given.”
But their decades-long marriage has been filled with lies and deception, Ami’s mother Earlene Branson and brother Les tell Cvillain.com in an exclusive video interview.
After revealing that Billy, now 64, snatched Ami, 53, away from her loved ones just months after their quickie marriage when she was just 15, the devastated family members claim the reality TV patriarch has been extremely possessive of his child bride.
“Billy started acting very controlling of Ami from the very beginning,” Les, 57, alleges, adding that his early visits with the couple raised red flags. “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!”
In another instance, the protective big brother asked Billy why Ami wasn’t in school as the much older groom had promised.
“How come Ami’s not in school? You told my mom you’d keep her in high school,” Les recalls questioning his brother-in-law. “He said, ‘That’s none of your mother’s business now.”
“He said, ‘She belongs to me!’” Earlene, 84, claims.
After Billy and Ami left her native Texas for Alaska without informing her family, Earlene and Les desperately tried to contact the nomadic star with letters and phone calls.
