Where's orlando brown now?

Brown’s out-of-control behavior raised questions about his well-being. He morphed from wholesome teen to wayward, self-destructive bad boy practically in front of our eyes. So where is Orlando Brown now?

Brown decided to shift gears professionally and focused on music, which turned out to be a smart move for him. One of his songs, “Pay Attention to Me” was in the film Thirteen (2003). Three years later, in 2006, Brown released an album titled Trade It All. He then took a long break before releasing any more music.

Things began to go haywire in a big way for Brown about a decade after his album came out. In January 2016, according to CNN, a then-28-year-old Brown was arrested in Torrance, California for “possessing and bringing methamphetamine into police headquarters, possessing drug paraphernalia, battery and resisting or delaying arrest.” He also allegedly struck a woman in public who he was dating at the time.

Denying the charges, Brown lamented on Instagram: “I’ve been in jail for a whole month and every day in jail is two days,” Brown wrote. “Nobody cared about me. How do you think I feel?”

Two years after that, in January 2018, Brown was arrested again—this time in Barstow, California, for allegedly having “a verbal argument at an apartment with … his girlfriend and his girlfriend’s mom.” The charges confronting Brown were “attery against a spouse, resisting a peace officer, and possession of a controlled substance.”

A Barstow cop became aware that Torrance police had an arrest warrant for Brown. He had missed a court date. Brown landed behind bars again.

His attitude appeared defiant. He wrote several comments about his predicament, including one that sounded a little ominous: “Brace yourselves for this one.”

Brown continued on his path of eyebrow-raising conduct in May 2018 by getting a jumbo tattoo of his former That’s So Raven co-star, Raven-Symone, on his neck and chest. The representation of her face on his body was noted by People, which described Brown’s new tattoo as “huge.”

Brown’s string of run-ins with law enforcement got longer in June 2018. He was seen by police arriving and departing from a Las Vegas motel known for its guests’ nefarious activities, such as prostitution and drugs. They intercepted the taxi Brown left in. “e initially refused to cooperate,” TMZ explained, so they arrested him for “felony narcotics possession, and misdemeanor charges of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest.”

In September 2018, he was nabbed for burglary in Las Vegas. Brown was noticed on camera changing locks at a place called Legends Restaurant & Venue, which was owned by a friend of his. Police showed up when a security alarm sounded. When they arrived, they reportedly found Brown perched on the building’s roof. He stuck to his story—that he was changing the restaurant’s locks—which his friend refuted. So Brown was put behind bars yet again.

Page Six noted that Brown was detained “on $13,000 bail, which includes bail from previous arrest charges for drug possession, resisting a public officer, and domestic battery.”

Brown’s erratic, law-breaking behavior began to worry his friends, who staged an intervention for him. He went to rehab, but “it clearly didn’t work out entirely as planned,” according to HotNewHipHop. Brown reportedly stayed for only one week before quitting and getting himself into another messy scrape that drew media attention.

A video surfaced at this time showing Brown “walking around barefoot in the streets with what appears to be a box of wine while a man follows him with a camera, threatening to knock out Brown if he comes near his home.”

Brown’s friend and manager, Solomon Barron, was so concerned about his downward emotional spiral in December 2018 that he appeared on an episode of Dr. Phil titled “From Disney Star to Homeless and in Danger: Will Orlando Brown Accept Life-Saving Treatment?”  Barron described Brown’s plight in the hope that the famous retired psychologist could assist his buddy.

“If you can’t get him to recognize his problems,” Barron said to Dr. Phil, “he does not have a chance in life, at a comeback, anything. It doesn’t look good for him.”

After Barron left the stage, Brown came out on the set and sat down with Dr. Phil, who asked him many probing questions. Brown’s confusion was apparent. He asserted that he was Michael Jackson’s son, claimed to have four kids although he seemed mixed up about their ages and names, and said he had been sober for four years. All those statements were untrue.

Following a lot of pushback and resistance, Brown finally agreed to go to a Malibu clinic for treatment. At the end of the program, Dr. Phil gave an update and said Brown “had made great strides” toward recovery.

A couple of years later, Brown seemed to be gaining traction in his attempt to return to a more settled life. He began releasing new music: “F**ck My Fame” (2018), “Empire” (2019), and “Hi, I’m Famous”, and “Coming to America” (2020).

In September 2020, The Christian Post reported that Brown, then 32, was “getting ready to graduate from a faith-based treatment center in Texas and he’s singing high praises about the power of prayer and Christian fellowship.”

Brown was preparing to graduate from Rise Discipleship, a Rise Church-run, no-cost men’s recovery program, two months later, in November.

According to the Post, Brown was upfront about his past issues. “I went through a lot. I experimented with crystal meth, with weed. I didn’t know what I was doing. I was addicted to the internet. All kinds of stuff.”

He credited his fiancée for connecting him with this program and standing by him while he sorted his life out. Brown made a guest appearance on Cornbread TV in 2022 and played Detective Brown in Bloody Hands, which is in post-production this year.

Brown’s odd behavior returned in the form of peculiar remarks he made about well-known personalities. In January 2020, E! News reported that Brown alleged having a sexual encounter with Nick Cannon, with Cannon supposedly clad as a woman. On Instagram, Cannon denied the claims, labeling Brown’s allegation as “a cry out for help.”

A few months later, in April 2020, Brown came out with more weird statements. According to HotNewHipHop, “A video of Brown began to circulate where he screams into the camera about being sexually assaulted by Michael Jackson, who, at one point, he says is Will Smith.”

Brown piled up more jaw-dropping allegations in July 2022, when he was a guest on Breakbeat. He said he had a sexual encounter with rapper Lil Bow Wow, which the rapper denied.

Sadly, the former child star ended up on the wrong side of the law again. On December 22, 2022, he was arrested in Lima, Ohio, and charged with misdemeanor assault charges. People reports that an alleged relative of Brown’s called the police after Brown threatened him with a knife and hammer. It sounds like the actor had already been down on his luck; he was reportedly homeless and staying with his relative to avoid staying in a homeless shelter.

Brown was held at Allen County Jail on a $25,000 bond and charged with aggravated menacing, to which he pleaded not guilty. Only time will tell how the lawsuit will turn out, but it’s definitely not a good sign for Brown’s stability.

What’s next for Orlando Brown? It’s really anybody’s guess. He may get back on the straight and narrow, or continue to teeter between recovery and wreaking havoc. We can only hope he gets the help he needs to get his life on track.

Orlando Brown (born December 4, 1987) is an American actor, rapper, and singer. He is best known for his roles as Cadet Kevin 'Tiger' Dunne in Major Payne, 3J Winslow in Family Matters, Max in Two of a Kind. He was the title protagonist in both the Waynehead (as Damey Wayne) and Fillmore! (as Cornelius Fillmore) animated series. He also played Sticky Webb in The Proud Family and Eddie Thomas in That's So Raven. He also stars in the Zeus Network Reality Series Bad Boys: Texas.

Orlando Brown was born in 1987 in Los Angeles, California.

Orlando Brown made his acting debut in 1995 as Cadet Kevin 'Tiger' Dunne in Major Payne. In 1998, he co-starred with Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen in Two of a Kind. In 1996, he was cast as 3J Winslow in Family Matters. He began voice acting in 1996 when he starred as a childhood version of Damon Wayans in Waynehead. For Disney he starred in That's So Raven, Max Keeble's Big Move, and Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off. After leaving Disney in 2007, Orlando decided to concentrate on his music career.

On February 28, 2016, in Torrance, California, Brown was arrested and later charged with domestic battery, obstruction of justice, drug possession with intent to sell, and possession of contraband in jail, following an altercation with his then-girlfriend in public. Police were called to the scene after he struck her in the parking lot of a police station and he was found by officers to be in possession of methamphetamine, a stimulant drug, at the time of the incident. Brown failed to appear for a scheduled court date in relation to the charges and a warrant was issued for his arrest; he was ultimately taken into custody by police on March 18, 2016, in Barstow, California, after police were called to a private residence in response to complaints of a domestic disturbance between Brown, his girlfriend, and his girlfriend's mother and subsequently faced additional charges of domestic battery, drug possession, and resisting arrest.

Following his release from jail in Barstow, he again failed to appear for a scheduled court date and a warrant was again issued for his arrest; he fled California for Nevada and was eventually apprehended by bounty hunters. On June 5, 2016, Brown was arrested in Las Vegas by police while leaving a local hotel known for prostitution and illegal drug sale and use. He refused to cooperate with officers after they stopped his taxicab, and a subsequent search found him to be in possession of methamphetamine and a pipe, and that he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest, in relation to one of his unresolved domestic battery charges. He was charged with drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting arrest.

Several months later, on September 2, 2016, Brown, recently released from a medical facility where he'd been hospitalized for undisclosed reasons, was arrested after breaking into Legends Restaurant & Venue, a Las Vegas establishment owned by his childhood friend Danny Boy, and attempting to change the locks. Police found Brown on the roof of the building, after security cameras showed him entering the building without permission.

In early 2016, Brown debuted to the public a new tattoo, that of his former That's So Raven co-star Raven-Symoné, on his neck. Later that year, he entered rehab, after an intervention from friends and family, but remained in the program only one week, and was photographed shortly after his release walking down the street barefoot, carrying a box of wine.

On December 22, 2022, Brown was arrested in Lima, Ohio on charges of domestic violence. The charge, which was revealed to be on misdemeanor domestic violence, involved allegedly threatening his brother with a hammer and a broken off knife blade. Jail records afterwards showed that Brown was being held in Allen County jail on no bond.

In 2018, Brown appeared on an episode of Dr. Phil, and made false claims, among them that he was the son of musical icon Michael Jackson, saying his full name was Orlando Brown Prince Michael Jackson Jr., and that he had four children, two of whom he had never met and whose names he did not know. He claimed the oldest of his children is between the ages of 16 and 18, meaning Brown would have been between 13 and 15 at the time of their birth. He additionally claimed he had been sober for four years. The episode aired on December 21, 2018. After his appearance on the show, Brown opened up about his struggles with addiction at a church fundraising event in 2020.

He is married and has a son.

At the time of his December 22, 2022 arrest, Brown was revealed to be now homeless and living with his brother, who claimed that he took Brown into his home two weeks prior so he could avoid living in a homeless shelter.

Former Disney Channel star Orlando Brown is set to undergo a mental evaluation following his December arrest.

Brown’s lawyer filed court documents requesting an assessment to see if the troubled actor, who starred as Eddie Thomas in “That’s So Raven,” is competent to stand trial, TMZ reported Tuesday.

Brown, 35, was busted in Ohio on Dec. 22 and charged with aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor.

While the Los Angeles native pleaded not guilty, the outlet noted that results of the mental evaluation may sway his plea by reason of insanity.

Brown remains on house arrest. He was released from custody last Friday after posting a $25,000 bond.

The arrest stemmed from an allegedly heated exchange with a man named Matthew, who claimed Brown had wielded a knife and hammer at him in a threatening manner.

Brown’s latest legal woes came four years after he sensationally sat down for an intervention-style interview with Dr. Phil McGraw following a string of arrests on charges including burglary, drug possession, resisting arrest and domestic battery.

And it wasn’t just run-ins with the law that caused Brown to raise eyebrows.

The “Major Payne” star surprised fans when he bizarrely decided to get his former “That’s So Raven” co-star Raven-Symoné’s face tattooed on his chest in May 2018 for reasons unknown.

Just a month prior, bounty hunters armed with warrants, legal paperwork and firearms had caught Brown in his boxers hiding in a closet at an unidentified person’s home.

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?

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.

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.”

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.

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.

Orlando Brown is married to Danielle Brown, and the couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Frankie, in 2022.
