The Brown family has been plagued with controversies ever since their Discovery show, "Alaskan Bush People" aired. The most prominent controversy perhaps are reports claiming that their show is fake. Now, there are news that the show is going to be cancelled, and the Brown family "blames" the haters.
The reality shows the family's life in the wilderness - away from technology and civilization, IMDB said. Billy Brown and his wife Ami, along with their children live on their own terms in the wild nature. They strive to be self-sufficient at all costs. But there have been claims the show is fake, and there have even been pictures and videos which suggest that the Brown children are not new to technology at all.
In 2014, the Alaska Department of Revenue conducted an investigation, and a grand jury indicted the Brown family with 60 counts of first-degree unsworn falsification regarding Permanent Fund Dividend forms for their residency, as well as a first- and second-degree theft that took place between 2009 and 2012. The year after, Billy and Joshua pleaded guilty to lying on PFD forms.
According to Monsters and Critics, other people think that the family is not really struggling in the wilderness and that they are financially well-off. Haters have targeted the "Alaskan Bush People" Facebook page. However, the family's loyal fans have rallied behind the Brown family to show their support.
A fan said that it doesn't matter whether the show is fake or not - they love it all the same. Another also said that the show is produced by the entertainment industry, and that it's enjoyable as just that - "entertainment." While another added that for those who don't like the show, they can just choose to watch another one.
Regardless of what other people say, the show continues to get loyal fans. "Alaskan Bush People" Season 6 wrapped up last month, and while there is no confirmation yet whether there is going to be a Season 7, the show's steady ratings may guarantee a slot for a comeback.
