Ami Brown’s Biography

Although not so much is known about her personal life and how she was raised, she hit the eyes of the public in 2014 when she became a part of Discovery Channel’s series Alaskan Bush People where she played the role of the mother of the family. In the series which is now in its eighth season, Ami appears alongside her husband, Billy Bryan Brown and their 7 children, Matthew, Bam Bam, Solomon, Gabriel, Noah, Amora, and Merry Christmas.

Looking at her personal life, Ami met Billy when she was only 15 and since then, they have been together even though before the actress, Billy was once married but the union did not survive a long time.

In a Facebook post by her brother, Les claimed that Ami has been a prisoner of a domestic abuser (Billy) for many years and it had led to her isolation from her own family. According to him, she has also refused any contact with her mother because she is scared it will upset Billy. Until 2016 when her mother tried to contact her, it was revealed by Radar Online that both Ami and Billy have ignored all efforts by her mother to speak with them since Ami got married when she was 15.

Apart from this, there have also been many by Radar claiming that the Alaskan Bush People was full of many lies to fans. Nonetheless, it has continued to be successful with Ami still a major force on the series.
