Seeking Sister Wife: Trouble Was Already Brewing In Home For Garrick

Fans of Seeking Sister Wife are not surprised to see Garrick back in headlines, as they have been following his life in the show for years. Troubles in his marriage to Garrick became public even before this arrest, as he tries to grow his family, which already includes his former wife, Dannielle, and the women he pursues. He even divorced Dannielle recently so that he could legally marry Lorrana last year. They announced in July that they were expecting a child with her and named her Sarah.

Just a week later, though, it was revealed that things weren’t as good as they seemed. According to the affidavit, Lorrana told police that Garrick took her phone during an argument because she threatened to call authorities. She also said he refused to let her contact her family in Brazil and even threatened to involve ICE. In the finale episode of the latest season, Garrick revealed to the ladies that he wanted to include more women. He even asked Dannielle to marry his future wife for legal purposes.

Seeking Sister Wife: Exes & Castmates Speak Out After Garrick’s Arrest

After Garrick got arrested, things had been quiet as the Merrifields decided not to address the situation themselves. But fans wanted some answers, and they seemingly got some ideas about it. Former potential wife Roberta Rodrigues, who once planned a future with Garrick, shared a message about the arrest. She referred to him as the man “who tried to knock me down.” Roberta didn’t stop there; she thanked God for bringing justice to those who deserved it.

Another potential sister wife, Nathalia Lima, joined the Merrifields in Season 5. She also expressed that she felt relieved to have escaped what she described as “violence against women.” She hoped for some serious action and felt that women deserve safety and peace. A friend of Nathalia later claimed she witnessed Garrick being “manipulative” and described both Garrick and Dannielle as “aggressive” during their time in Brazil.

Fellow season 6 cast member Reise Williamson also gave his comments on the matter. He said Garrick and Dannielle treated him kindly when they spoke during the casting process. Still, he wanted to make it clear that he does not condone the alleged actions. He also felt that the whole thing was still allegations at this point, so he didn’t want to jump to conclusions.
