Alaskan Bush People’ Star Bird Brown Completely Cuts Off Brother Matt

The Alaskan Bush People family has faced a string of challenges in recent months. From Noah Brown filing a restraining order against his sister Rain to his separation from wife Rhain, family feuds seem to be escalating. Now, Bird Brown has revealed that she herself has severed ties with one of her brothers.

Bird Brown Admits She No Longer Talks to Matt

During a recent TikTok live session, Bird responded to fans asking about her brother Matt Brown. Longtime followers know that Matt has been estranged from the family since entering rehab to address addiction struggles. Though Matt has reportedly been sober and attempting to rebuild his life, Bird made it clear that she no longer has any relationship with him.

Bird admitted she doesn’t talk to Matt, doesn’t associate with him, and even described herself as the “wrong person to ask about him.” Her comments quickly spread across Reddit, where fans reacted with surprise.

One Redditor, still watching early seasons of the show, commented that the Brown family had always appeared “tight knit” on screen. Others quickly filled them in, pointing out deeper issues within the family:

• “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 on in the show.”

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

What Really Happened Between Matt and His Family?

While addiction was one factor in Matt’s estrangement, more troubling allegations complicated his return. When Matt left rehab and was subsequently fired by Discovery Channel, reports surfaced accusing him of sexual assault.

According to PEOPLE, two women came forward with allegations against Matt. Discovery Channel issued a statement in 2020, saying:

“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.”

Jessica Jurges, a former personal assistant to the Brown family, alleged that Matt assaulted her in a swimming pool. She claimed her manager at the time, Shelly Dawn, intervened — but later alleged that Matt assaulted her as well, just days afterward. In 2021, Jessica spoke in detail about the incident during an interview with Nosey Heaux.

The Fallout

Since then, Matt has remained estranged from his family while living his life outside of the show. Bird’s decision to publicly confirm that she has cut him out underscores how deep the family divide still runs.

While fans may remember the Browns as a “stick together” clan on Alaskan Bush People, Bird’s words suggest that for some family bonds, reconciliation may no longer be possible.
