“Alaskan Bush People” was a popular reality TV show that aired for 14 seasons from 2014 to 2022, capturing the exploits of the Brown family living off the land in remote Alaska. However, the show was embroiled in scandals as it was revealed that much of what was shown was staged, falsified, or carefully rigged by producers. The Brown family didn’t really live in the isolated part of Alaska as portrayed on the show and had defrauded the Alaskan government out of money. Other incidents, like shots being fired during a frightening episode, were also found to be exaggerated or fake.
Additionally, the show’s depiction of the Browns living without modern technology was not entirely accurate, as they did not truly follow that lifestyle off-screen. The show also portrayed relationships that were possibly staged, such as one between Noah Brown and a woman named Karryna who had previous acting experience. One of the show’s stars, Raiven Adams, who was briefly engaged to Bear Brown, revealed that much of what was shown on the show was not real and that the family dynamic depicted was not authentic.
The show faced backlash from Alaska locals for misrepresenting the state and its residents, and even faced legal issues for fraudulent activities. Despite its controversies, “Alaskan Bush People” remained popular but now viewers are aware that the reality TV series may not have been as real as it claimed to be.
