💔 ‘Alaskan Bush People’: Bird Brown Cuts Ties with Brother Matt — “He’s Not Welcome Here,” She Says

Bird Brown Completely Cuts Off Her Estranged Brother

The Alaskan Bush People family has been facing a wave of emotional turmoil in recent months. From Noah Brown filing a restraining order against sister Rain to the shocking separation from his wife, the Brown siblings have been navigating one conflict after another. But according to Bird Brown, these tensions didn’t start recently—they’ve been brewing for years.

During a recent TikTok Live, Bird revealed that she has completely cut ties with her brother Matt Brown, making it clear they no longer have any relationship at all.

Bird Brown Confirms She No Longer Talks to Matt

In the livestream, fans flooded the comment section with questions about Matt Brown, the eldest Brown sibling who has lived apart from the family since entering rehab years ago. Although Matt has maintained his sobriety and begun rebuilding his life independently, his family has remained distant.

Bird didn’t hesitate to address the topic.

She stated plainly that she does not associate with Matt, does not speak to him, and is “the wrong person to ask” because she has completely removed him from her life. The revelation shocked many viewers who believed the Browns were a united, tightly bonded family.

Fans on Reddit quickly weighed in, filling newcomers in on the deeper history behind the rift:

• “This new audience of people are in for a wild ride.”

• “Bird doesn’t speak to Matt because of the allegations that you’ll learn about later in the show.”

• “As I know and read, Matt called out Billy and the show for being fake.”

• 

But the real story behind the estrangement runs deeper than Matt’s past struggles with addiction.

What Really Happened Between Matt & Bird?

While Matt’s battle with substance abuse played a major role in his exit from the show, darker allegations also emerged around the time he went to rehab—and these may have permanently severed his relationship with Bird and Rain.

After Discovery Channel dismissed Matt from Alaskan Bush People, reports surfaced that two women had accused him of sexual assault. According to PEOPLE, the accusations were serious enough that Discovery issued a public statement:

“We agreed the local authorities should be contacted immediately. Due to the nature of the accusations, we felt that all cooperation would be most appropriately handled by law enforcement.”

The women involved—Jessica Jurges, a personal assistant to the Brown family, and Shelly Dawn, Matt’s manager at the time—claimed Matt assaulted them in two separate incidents. Jessica later described the experience in detail during a 2021 interview with Nosey Heaux, stating that she was assaulted in a swimming pool before Shelly intervened. Days later, Shelly alleged she was also assaulted.

Although charges were never filed and the case remained unresolved, the allegations left deep emotional scars—especially for Bird and Rain, who were reportedly close friends with Jessica.

A Family Divided

To this day, Matt lives independently in Washington and maintains a strong online presence, sharing updates about his sober life. Fans have long hoped for a family reconciliation, but Bird’s recent comments make it clear that forgiveness may not be on the horizon.

Her message was firm, emotional, and final:

Matt is no longer part of her life—and he’s not welcome back.

As the Brown family continues to face public scrutiny and private challenges, Bird’s revelation adds yet another layer to the complicated dynamics behind one of reality TV’s most talked-about families.
