The Browns are seeking unspecified damages for alleged unpaid wages and other expenses. The complaint also includes claims against Discovery Studios and its parent company DISCAVIATION Inc., alleging that they failed to comply with federal labor laws when filming Homestead Rescue episodes.
The Browns claimed that they were not given the same level of expertise and assistance as that provided to other families during their three-day shoot in January 2019.
They also alleged that the production crew gave them no forewarning in advance about the various situations they faced during their time on camera.

“Discovery has no knowledge of the Browns’ bankruptcy. Discovery also has no knowledge of the Browns’ homesteading business,” a spokesperson for the company told Fox News in an email. “We stand behind our show, its production and its cast.”
“The Browns allege they suffered financial harm as a result,” noted an earlier report by Deadline.

The Browns filed for bankruptcy in 2015 and have been struggling to keep up with their bills after recently moving back into Kim’s childhood home.
A source close to the situation tells us that the family is considering suing the producers of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” for letting this happen.
Kim and Dave Brown allegedly filed bankruptcy following the shoot due to business debts.
The Browns’ financial troubles were compounded by two failed businesses. Dave opened a restaurant called Uncle Dave’s, which went under in December 2008, and Kim was unable to make payments on her home after she lost her job at a local bank. The couple filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in February 2011, citing debts of over $100,000.
As part of their bankruptcy filing, the Browns claimed they had no assets or income aside from Social Security benefits totaling just over $2,000 per month between the two of them—which was still not enough to cover their mounting monthly expenses. In total, Kim and Dave owed more than $130K on four credit cards alone: American Express ($7K), Discover ($4K), Chase ($2K) and Capital One ($1K).
The couple emphasized in their lawsuit that they were financially struggling after trying to start up a homesteading business at their property in California.
Kim and Josh Brown are struggling to make ends meet, the couple wrote in their lawsuit, which was filed on Monday.
They have been trying to get their homesteading business off the ground for years and were counting on the sale of their property to help them succeed.
The Browns’ lawsuit states that they first fell victim to a scam themselves when they purchased a home from a couple in 2017 who claimed they had been living there for years but needed money fast because they were being evicted. The Browns allege that this couple forged occupancy documents and sold them all personal belongings inside as part of an elaborate scheme orchestrated by Landon Mancino, who had allegedly scammed other people out of properties he did not own before selling one belonging to Kim and Josh Brown.
It’s a sad story of a kindhearted family trying to make it work on the homesteading lifestyle only for it to backfire.
The Browns were a kindhearted family who wanted to help others. Their financial situation was not the best, so they decided to be on the show in order to make money. However, it seems that their good intentions were not enough for Discovery Channel and its producers. The Browns were given less assistance than other families on the show, even though you would think that an entire family of homesteaders would need a lot more help than most people who have never tried being self-sufficient before! It also seems like Mom and Dad should have been given some sort of warning about what they were getting into before they signed up—if they had known that there would be bugs or bears lurking around every corner, maybe they wouldn’t have felt pressured into going through with this show at all!
