In 2020, Briana McKnight filed a lawsuit against him following a post he made shunning his daughter for being "promiscuous. The post reads, “She had some years earlier, and while a minor, engaged in sexual relations with an older cousin.” Briana believes his post was written in "animosity" after she expressed feeling abandoned by him. In February, the estranged father-daughter duo reached a private settlement.

Moreover, Brian's posts resurface on social media with his four biological children being left out. This has left social media users to sound off on their distaste for his Instagram posts. In December, Brian posted a heartfelt message to his stepdaughter Julia for her birthday. Calling her the "best daughter ever." "Your mom and I couldn’t be prouder of you and I couldn’t ask for a better daughter than you!!!," he said. The picture showed a car that he had purchased for her causing criticism. His Instagram bio also lists only his children with his wife as well as his step-children with her.
