Orlando Brown says that Zeus Network saved his life.

Orlando Brown recently gave a heartfelt farewell to the Zeus Network series, Bad Boys: Texas, in which he thanked the "Zeus family" for saving his life. In a video shared on social media, Brown reflected on the experience while clips of lighthearted moments from throughout the show play. They also include Natalie Nunn picking him up from jail at the start of the season.

“Y’all saved me,” Brown says through tears in the video. “Y’all n****s really saved me bro. I was gonna go in a straitjacket. They told you Orlando Brown was cr*zy.”

Brown was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge in December 2022. He allegedly threatened his brother with a hammer and a broken-off knife blade. In one episode of the show, Brown admitted that he found himself in a "dark place" amid drinking problems. “A lot of drinking is what happened,” he explained. “I was drinking a lot. I just found myself in a dark place because I couldn’t really find everybody. It’s kinda like looking for your keys, when you stop looking, they’re right there type of deal. I started to realize what was in front of me. From there, now I’m good.”
