Sister Wives star Janelle Brown told cops she ‘should’ve gotten help’ for son Garrison’s alcoholism before his suicide
SISTER Wives star Garrison Brown’s mother, Janelle, has made a heartbreaking confession in the wake of his suicide.
Robert Garrison Brown, 25, was discovered dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound by his younger brother Gabe, 22, on Tuesday morning.
The U.S. Sun has exclusively obtained the police report detailed when Janelle, 54, arrived on the scene on March 5.
According to the documents, Janelle commented “he just stopped texting last night.”
The report said: “Janelle also made the comment that she should have gotten Garrison help in the past as well.”
Janelle also remarked that Garrison was “estranged from his father.”
Before his death, it was known to Sister Wives fans that Garrison and his dad Kody Brown, 55, had a tumultuous relationship for years.
Gabe told the police that Garrison “had been struggling with mental health concerns and alcohol abuse.”
In the police report, Garrison’s roommates Tyler, Cheyenne, and Addison all gave their accounts of the hours leading up to Monday night’s tragedy.
The officer wrote, “Addison stated that he has had conversations with [Garrison] about him being depressed lately.
“He stated that [Garrison] is an alcoholic and drinks every night.”

Addison said he and Garrison spoke the night before his suicide, and that Garrison had appeared to have been “intoxicated.”
Although the duo spent a lot of time together, Addison stated that nothing Garrison said ever raised a “red flag.”
The report went on to say that Addison “stated that he knew that [Garrison] was having problems with his ex-girlfriend and that he was not a very happy person.”
Garrison’s other roommate, Cheyenne, corroborated Addison’s story regarding the reality star’s struggles.
Although she and the Sister Wives star mostly knew each other in passing, she said they had been talking more often recently.
“She stated that she talked a little more in-depth with him about how he was struggling with drinking and his depression surrounding that,” the police statement read.
HIS LAST TEXTS
Garrison’s final texts sparked concern for his well-being the day before the tragic incident.
The TV personality claimed to officials that she discovered “troubling” messages from her son that were sent right before the tragedy.
According to Janelle, Garrison had texted a group of people that the Brown family works with on their TLC show.
The message reportedly read, “I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can’t. I miss these days.”
After learning of Garrison’s strange text, she told police that she reached out to her son who engaged with her for only a few minutes before he stopped replying.
She then contacted her other kids to have someone check on him, and Gabe offered.
By the time Gabe arrived in Flagstaff, Garrison had already died.
SAD CHAPTER
Despite fan protest, a source exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun that TLC cameras will be filming the aftermath of the National Guard vet’s suicide.
“The family is normally always filming – whether it’s actual cameras or on their phones,” a source shared, referring to Kody, Janelle, Robyn, Christine and Meri.
“As sad as it is, his unexpected death came during the timeline of filming.”
Since Garrison appeared on the show – his strained relationship with Kody was well documented last season – and people loved him, the source claims, “TLC is going to want to continue the storyline and fans are going to expect to know what happened to him.”
The source continued: “I can’t imagine any of this won’t be filmed.
“I just don’t how far this will go and how deep the family will get.”
