Fellow Storage Wars star René Nezhoda claimed that Darrell was the victim of cyberbullying and urged police to look into the accusations.
“You never know what demons somebody faces and what they go through and what you might push them through,” Nezhoda wrote on Instagram. “And I also highly encourage law enforcement — Darrell has been posting a lot about the guy that has been cyberbullying and torturing him, and I really hope they look into that guy, and that’s just not a pass. Because it’s just not right.”
Brandon starred alongside his late father on Storage Wars and its various spinoffs, including Storage Wars: Behind the Locker, Storage Wars: Best Bidding Wars, and Storage Wars: Summer Vacation.
