Bear Brown has shared details of his brother Matt Brown’s past struggles amid the Alaskan Bush People alum’s disappearance.
Posting via TikTok on Thursday, May 28, Bear, 38, claimed that Matt, 43, had been grappling with some tough situations in his personal life.
“He has been struggling for a long time, you know, with alcohol and with drugs and stuff,” Bear claimed. “He has other issues and stuff, too. He has done a lot of stuff that people like, don’t even know about.”
In the video, Bear recalled the last interaction he had with his sibling, explaining that he ran into Matt at a Walmart and they spoke for a few minutes.
“That was the last time I saw him, you know, and he called me after that, and he said that he had fallen off the wagon, and I was like, ‘Well, get back on it, man, you know, everybody falls off, you know, just get back on it, rehab if you’ve got to, you’ve got this, you fought it a lot before,’, and that was the last call I had with him, and that was a little bit ago.”
Bear added that Matt had also been dealing with a relationship breakdown at the time.
“He was going through like a really bad breakup, apparently,” Bear said. “There was this girl that he really liked, and I guess they, like, broke up, and I guess he’d been drinking too much and stuff, and I don’t know all the details to it.”
There are grave fears for Matt’s wellbeing after witnesses claimed that they had seen Matt floating in a river. Bear addressed these claims in the TikTok video, clarifying that he couldn’t confirm the speculation was “100%” accurate but it was “likely.”
TMZ reported that the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office received an anonymous call on Wednesday, regarding a man sitting in the shallow waters of the Okanogan River in Washington. The caller claimed to see the man lying face down in the river and being swept away by the current. Emergency responders searched the area but have yet to find a body.
Bear Brown slammed people leaving disrespectful comments about brother Matt Bear amid the family’s concerns for his well-being. “First off, I’m not just making a video on rumors. It’s a very, very, very, very small chance it’s not him. It’s like 99 percent him,” Bear, 38, said of the family’s fear for Matt, 43, in […]
A source close to the Brown family told Us Weekly, “The family is not sure what to believe right now. They are not sure where Matt is but they are hoping that he is OK and that the information is wrong. They are all in contact and speaking to police and waiting to hear. They have had their issues [with Matt] and Gabe has been the person most in contact with him.”
Bear and Matt both appeared on the Discovery show Alaskan Bush People. The series aired from 2014 to 2022. Matt quietly exited the reality show in 2019.
