Recently, Orlando Brown’s mother took to social media, sharing a sweet clip of her son surprising her at her doorstep. In the clip, Orlando is seen getting out of a car, driven by his wife Danielle Anglin, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. As he makes his way over to greet his mom, she jokingly mentions his sobriety, asking him, “you don’t smoke no more dope?” His other child with Anglin, Frankie, also adorably greeted his grandmother.
Sobriety wasn’t the only thing Orlando came to celebrate with his family. His mother went on to share a clip of herself greeting the performer’s wife, and was sure to point out her tiny baby bump. The couple showed off Anglin’s positive pregnancy test back in June, meaning that she’s now around three months along. It’s clear that Orlando’s mother was elated about the surprise visit as well as her son’s growing family, sharing a lengthy heartfelt message alongside the clips.
“I am on CLOUDS RIGHT NOOOOW!!” she wrote. “My son and his beautiful family surprised me yesterday AHHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT JOY I FEEL right now. Orlando it felt like old times,” his mother also added. “The laughter, memories and stories lol lol!!! Thank you for thinking of me. What joy joy joy.. Lord I thank you and love you SO much!!!” Brown has overcome quite a bit in recent months, and fans are glad to see him in such a good place with his family. He was arrested in December of last year on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. Earlier this summer, he attributed his turn-around to his Bad Boys: Texas family.
“Y’all saved me,” Brown shared in an emotional confessional. “Y’all n****s really saved me bro. I was gonna go in a straitjacket. They told you Orlando Brown was cr*zy.” Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Orlando Brown.
In the early 2000s, Orlando Brown was one of fans’ favourite faces to see on the Disney Channel. Now, at age 35, he’s become popular on another series – Zeus’ Bad Boys Texas. The former child star is just one of the rambunctious figures on the popular reality show, on which he freely speaks his mind and goes viral on Twitter for some of his hilarious antics. Of course, there are those speaking out in concern for Brown’s sobriety too, especially after the show’s most recent episode when the That’s So Raven star was caught on camera having liquor poured down his throat.
“Knowing Orlando Brown struggles with addiction and sobriety, this is so messy of them. Production should’ve put in his contract that he can’t drink,” one Twitter user wrote after seeing the troubling footage. Another chimed in with their take that Zeus is taking advantage of the California native, and anyone choosing to watch it unfold became it’s “messy” or “good TV” should reconsider. Someone else suggested that Brown needs professional help so his supporters can cheer him on through his comeback as they have with other stars in the past.
Orlando Brown is a Fan Favourite on Bad Boys Texas
“We, the people, need to get Orlando Brown that Ezra Miller protection so he can make a comeback like Robert Downey Jr.,” their post began. “I’m still a fan of the man. I TRULY believe that the homie just needs some to be surrounded w/ love and wise counsel .”
While his on-screen behaviour is certainly troubling at times, it’s less worrying than reports of his latest arrest in late 2022. At the time, Brown lost out on a major movie role after lashing out at a friend he was staying with in Ohio. Just a few months later, it was revealed that he planned to undergo a mental evaluation.

Do you think that Zeus’ production team is out of pocket for allowing the embattled star to drink knowing he struggles with sobriety?

Knowing Orlando Brown struggles with addiction and sobriety, this is so messy of them. Production should’ve put in his contract that he can’t drink. #BadBoysTexashttps://t.co/TIUK72RzGi
The Disney channel run in the 2000s produced some of the most renowned series beloved by young audiences. From Hannah Montana to Lizzie McGuire and Phil Of The Future, these iconic TV shows have withstood the test of time. However, That’s So Raven starring Raven-Symoné remains a stand-out from Disney’s golden era. Joined by Anneliese Louise van der Pol and Orlando Brown as her two best friends Chelsea and Eddie, That’s So Raven followed the story of a psychic teenager trying to keep her supernatural powers a secret with the help of her pals.
In 2007, Orlando Brown severed ties with Disney to focus on a music career. Fans already caught a glimpse of his skills on the mic during the series. The prospects for the talented performer were unfathomably promising. His tracks even made an appearance in the 2003 teen drama Thirteen starring Evan Rachel Wood and Nikki Reed. Unfortunately, news of Orlando’s questionable activities have recently been plaguing headlines. This begs the question, what happened to Orlando Brown?
Orlando Brown’s First Publicized Arrest

Despite his bright future in the entertainment industry, the public’s attention was soon diverted to Brown’s multiple legal issues. In 2016, he was arrested for domestic violence, obstruction of justice and drug possession with intent to sell. According to police, Brown got into a heater confrontation with his ex-girlfriend in a parking lot that resulted in a physical altercation. Once they arrived on the scene, police discovered that he was in possession of methamphetamine. This was followed by another incident of alleged domestic disturbance between Brown, his ex, and her mother. Although charges were made, he failed to appear in court both times.
Eventually, Brown was taken into custody and released but again, failed to show up at court for his hearing. As he evaded law enforcement, bounty hunters relentlessly sought his capture until they found him hiding in a closet at a Las Vegas residence in March. Finally brought before the court, it was clear that this was not the turn Brown’s promising career path had taken.

In June 2016, authorities apprehended Brown after they observed him emerging from a hotel known for prostitution and drug trafficking. After stopping his cab, he was found with methamphetamine and paraphernalia. Law enforcement authorities in Las Vegas took Brown into custody as a result of an outstanding warrant. He was charged with drug possession.
Other episodes of misconduct followed including an alleged attempt to burglarize a friend’s restaurant, while his tattoo of Symoné’s face on his neck raised eyebrows. Throughout this period, Brown sought treatment on two occasions, though both times he soon left rehab centers.
Orlando Brown’s Appearance on Dr. Phil
In 2018, Orlando Brown appeared on the Dr. Phil Show to face concerned family and friends who challenged his erratic behavior. He declared himself to be the son of Michael Jackson. Additionally, Brown insisted he had four children with the eldest being 16-18 years old. That would’ve meant that he was 13-15 when they were born. On top of that, he revealed he couldn’t even name two of the kids. These alarming admissions prompted the TV host to suggest the actor enter a specialized facility.

In 2020, Orlando Brown was resolute in his mission to stay on the straight and narrow. He entered a committed relationship with Danielle Brown, with whom he has a son named Frankie. “My name is Orlando Brown from That’s So Raven fame,” he shared. “I had had some struggles in the past… involving substances like crystal meth and marijuana, not to mention an unhealthy attachment to the internet.”
“I owe much of my success to Danielle for introducing me to such an encouraging place,” he continued. “The atmosphere here is one of genuine acceptance, camaraderie, important lessons, and spirituality. Everybody here is incredibly knowledgeable and devoted to their faith, truly astounding.”
Enrolling In A Residential Program

After seeking the counsel of his fiancée, Danielle Brown, he enrolled in a free six-month residential program in Texas. Designed to help men battle addiction, homelessness, and other life-impacting issues, the initiative has already made a great impact on Orlando’s life. Uplifting images of a better future began surfacing online soon after his enrollment, including one that showed him testifying about his profound transformation.
Orlando Brown’s Recent Incarceration

On December 22nd, 2022, Brown was again arrested in Ohio. Brown was accused of engaging in a domestic violence altercation at the residence of Matthew Sanders. Brown allegedly threatened Sanders with a hammer and a broken-off knife blade prior to his arrest.
Per reports, Brown had been shouting accusations of sexual assault against Sanders’ wife. Previously, Brown and Sanders identified themselves as “blood brothers” and business partners. Sanders intends to take legal action against Brown, in order to facilitate positive change in the actor’s life.
Numerous arrests and legal troubles have plagued the life of the Disney child star over the years. Since 2016, Brown’s struggle with mental health, homelessness, and addiction has led to a substantial amount of legal issues. However, after a brief hiatus from the limelight, the renowned child star rejoined the small screen with Zeus Networks’ Bad Boys Texas. The series debuted on April 2023 and documented his emotional homecoming since his release from Allen County Jail.
Orlando Brown has said and done quite a few strange things in recent years. Many were concerned about his behavior and have been for years now. Then, late last year, he was arrested for “aggravated menacing.” He was said to be going through a mental evaluation after the arrest. This was not the first time Brown was arrested for reasons relating to violence. Back in 2018, the actor did an interview with Dr. Phil, where he admitted to substance abuse struggled. “A lot of drinking is what happened,” Brown said at the time. “I was drinking a lot. I just found myself in a dark place because I couldn’t really find everybody… From there, now I’m good.” Whether or not he really is good is anybody’s guess.
Orlando Brown is an actor, rapper, and singer that is most recognizable for his acting roles on kid-friendly sitcoms. Brown began his acting career in the late 1990s, with roles in television shows such as Family Matters and Moesha. However, he is perhaps best known for his role as Eddie Thomas on the Disney Channel sitcom That’s So Raven. Brown also pursued a career in music, releasing an album in 2006 titled Trade It All. In recent years, Brown has gained attention for his personal struggles, including legal issues and mental health challenges. Despite these challenges, he has continued to pursue his career, appearing in various projects, including the 2021 film Trafficked: A Parent’s Worst Nightmare.
Orlando Brown has made more concerning comments in a new red carpet interview. The actor was walking the carpet for the premiere of the Zeus Network show Bad Boys Texas. In a previously-released clip from the show, Brown made some claims about making noodles in the same toilet he peed in. That was disturbing enough, but the actor’s interview on the red carpet premiere of the show has also raised some red flags with many. It is worth noting that his publicist was standing very close behind him the entire time, looking a little more worried than any publicist ever should.
In the interview, Brown is asked about Disney reboots. He tells the interviewer he doesn’t care about the shows. Then, directly referencing the show he became famous for, That’s So Raven, Brown makes it clear that he and the titular star are on two separate paths. “Raven’s doing her sh*t. I love that sh*t,” he said. “I’m doing my sh*t. She loves that sh*t. We all loving our sh*t.” The interviewer then asks what Brown’s relationship with Jesus Christ was. He quickly replies, “I am Christ.” With that, the interview was over. What do you think of Orlando Brown’s new comments? Let us know in the comments!
Orlando Brown will star in the new Zeus Network show “Bad Boys Texas,” and during its premiere, he had an odd story to tell. Moreover, the former Disney Channel star reflected on how the network bailed him out of jail following his arrest. Also, he said that he isn’t even a “bad boy” and remarked on being known more for his controversy than for his acting career these days. In addition, and in disgusting detail, he recalled doing his… necessities in the same toilet that he would make noodles out of while incarcerated. “Bad Boys Texas” premieres on Sunday (April 23), and will likely feature more interesting sit-downs with Brown.
In other news, the 35-year-old recently became the latest celebrity to give their take on the infamous Oscars slap. Furthermore, Orlando Brown stated that Chris Rock mostly just milked the issue for attention and profit, especially when he had “the right check” to do so during his stand-up special. Not only that, but he also took issue with Rock speaking on Will Smith’s “selective outrage.” Beyond that disagreement, Brown believes the two needed to have a deeper conversation as individuals concerning what went down.
Orlando Brown Speaks On jail Time & Being Bailed Out
Unfortunately for the “That’s So Raven” actor, his career over the past several years took a nose dive as fans expressed concern for his mental health, following various arrests, wild statements, and public controversies. In fact, Orlando Brown was ordered to undergo a mental evaluation after an arrest for alleged attempted assault. His increasing controversies and behavior covered by the media is actually something he addressed a couple of years ago. It still might hold true today.
“A lot of drinking is what happened,” he remarked in an attempt to explain some of his choices and statements. “I was drinking a lot. I just found myself in a dark place because I couldn’t really find everybody. It’s kinda like looking for your keys, when you stop looking, they’re right there type of deal. I started to realize what was in front of me. From there, now I’m good.” Regardless of your take on all this, return to HNHH for the latest on Orlando Brown.
In 2023, people are still talking about the “Oscar Slap”. Over a year has passed since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock live on stage at the Oscars. However, that has not stopped everyone from sharing their opinion about the incident, responses to it, the deeper meaning of the slap. Every single angle that could be possibly conceived of has been covered. Last month, Marlon Wayans even announced he was producing a documentary on the slap.
Many celebrities have shared their thoughts on the incident. People like Serena Williams and Sheree Zampino have advocated for Smith’s apology. Chris Rock’s brother says Will Smith never reached out. With an incident that public, everyone is going to have something to say about it. However, while some views are considered insightful, others are seen as people inserting themselves into the situation.
In a recent interview, Orlando Brown shared his thoughts on the slap, specifically Chris Rock’s response to it. “I don’t mind Chris milking it, but a’ight, you milked it,” Brown argued. When the interviewer responded by saying that Rock “waited a while” to respond, Brown dropped his biggest claim. “He was waiting for the right check.” Brown went on to explain that in his eyes, Rock should have simply reached out to Smith and had a conversation about the incident. He also took issue with Rock’s comments about Smith’s “selective outrage”, which he saw as unnecessary and again, milking the issue for profit.
However, Rock waiting for a paid opportunity to speak out was the main crux of Brown’s argument. Rock was reportedly paid $40 million to produce a Netflix stand-up title Selective Outrage. While it was widely expected that Rock would address the slap in the special, Netflix reportedly edited out jokes about Smith. However, some content remained and the special got its name from comments Rock made about Smith. Selective Outrage was Rock’s first major public comment about the incident and if reports are true, he was paid handsomely to make them. However, Brown’s comments show that we are far from done with talking about what occurred at the 2022 Oscars.
That’s So Raven star Orlando Brown will be undergoing a mental evaluation following his latest arrest. The check will determine whether he’s fit to stand trial in his Ohio criminal case regarding aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor in the state. Depending on the results of the test, Brown could do a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. TMZ cites Brown’s lawyer filing documents in court for the request.
Police originally arrested Brown while responding to a call regarding a fight in progress between 2 men. The victim claims Brown came at him while wielding a knife and hammer. According to the police report, he “believed Orlando was going to assault him.” He also told police that Brown had been going “crazy.” At the time, Brown was reportedly living under the same roof as the alleged victim. The victim also helped land Brown a movie role, which he has since lost due to the arrest.

Brown has dealt with a myriad of legal issues in recent years. Back in 2016, he was charged with domestic battery, obstruction of justice, drug possession with intent to sell, and possession of contraband in jail. He later appeared on Dr. Phil in 2018. During the episode, he made several viral erroneous claims, such as being the son of Michael Jackson. He also admitted to struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
“A lot of drinking is what happened,” Brown said, explaining his behavior. “I was drinking a lot. I just found myself in a dark place because I couldn’t really find everybody. It’s kinda like looking for your keys, when you stop looking, they’re right there type of deal. I started to realize what was in front of me. From there, now I’m good.”
Orlando Brown is currently on house arrest as the legal proceedings continue. He posted a $25,000 bond, last week, to get out of jail. Brown starred as Eddie Thomas on That’s So Raven, which aired on Disney Channel from 2003 to 2007.
What appears to have been a brief return to the entertainment industry for Orlando Brown has quickly crumbled before him. According to a new report from TMZ, the That’s So Raven alum has been fired from an upcoming film after being arrested for domestic violence earlier this week.
The incident took place on Thursday (December 22). At the time, Ohio police came to help resolve a fight between two men. Since the actor’s arrest, his victim, Matthew Sanders, has spoken out about the situation.
Brown was due to star in a film called Up The Score, which Sanders is directing and producing. He tells the outlet that he wanted the former Disney star to be a part of the project not only due to their friendship but also because the latter believes the former to be “extremely talented.”
The 35-year-old entertainer moved to his director’s home in Lima in November. The film project is currently in preproduction, and won’t begin shooting until the new year. Before this week’s fight, there were apparently no major issues between the two.
Sanders recounting states that Brown “came at him with a broken-off knife blade and a hammer.” Additionally, he notes that he believes his friend is struggling with mental illness. At times, he thinks the California native comes off as “out of touch with reality.” Ultimately, he’s most upset by not helping the child star with his comeback.

In Up The Score, he was due to appear in a secondary role. The film is a dramedy about a military man who, after meeting someone on social media, leaves his family only to fall victim to some serious catfishing.
Presently, Sanders has decided that Brown is no longer allowed to live with him. If he seeks mental health help, a decision to recast him in the movie might be made. However, seeing as filming begins in the near future, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see him appear.

Childhood stardom sure sounds like a dream come true. However, many past Disney Channel stars continue to prove that working for the Magic Kingdom doesn’t always result in a fairytale ending. Usually, names like Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato make headlines with their antics. Most recently, though, a former That’s So Raven cast member is giving them a run for their money.
Orlando Brown, best known for playing Eddie Thomas on the sitcom, was taken into custody on Thursday (December 22). According to reports from TMZ, the Lima Police Department got a call about “a fight in progress” yesterday. This led them to the actor’s house.

Earlier today (December 23), further details reveal that the altercation took place between him and a family member or other resident of the home. Additionally, we now know that Brown has been living in Ohio for over a month.
As you may recall, this is far from his first run-in with the law. In 2018, he was behind bars almost every month of the year. His charges ranged from burglary and domestic battery to drug possession and resisting a public officer. That same year, he made waves with a new tattoo – a portrait of former co-star Raven Symoné’s face on his chest.
In September of that year, Brown spent some time behind bars after pleading no contest. The charges he was facing at the time include attempting to change the locks on a friend’s restaurant, as well as possession of narcotics.
As a result of his antics, the 35-year-old sat down with Dr. Phil McGraw for an intervention-style interview. He opted to wear snake-eye contacts during their chat, making claims that he was “locked [up] for no reason and set up.”
He additionally made it known that he had no desire to “dedicate another 90 days” to treatment for his addictions. Rather, his plans were to “jump back into that life [of fatherhood and] figure out who everybody is.”
However, viewers couldn’t help but notice that Brown gave McGraw incorrect names and ages of his family in the interview. Surprisingly, he also told the host he has a 2-year-old “on the way” with his wife, Danielle Brown.
Since then, the embattled actor has publicly reflected on his past comments, even offering an apology and thanking Dr. Phil for “opening the door to show people that actually think they don’t need help to go get help.”
In August of this year, Brown admitted that he’s been “on the hideout” ever since the footage aired. He also told Cam Capone, “I’m just waiting to die at this point. But realistically, I have goals.”
