But now, viewer frustration has escalated into something much louder: a growing demand that TLC cut ties with him entirely.
The calls for his removal intensified after news broke that Garrick had been arrested for alleged domestic violence involving his second wife, Lorrana. Fans, already skeptical of his intentions and behavior, feel the latest development confirms what they’ve suspected all along.
A Long History of Viewer Disapproval
Garrick has never been a fan favorite. In fact, many viewers place him in the same category as some of TLC’s most infamous reality TV patriarchs.
Critics constantly point out how he uses religion to justify harmful actions, often at the expense of his first wife, Dannielle, who has tolerated years of treatment many fans describe as demeaning.
After several seasons of failed attempts at plural marriage, Garrick finally brought a sister wife, Lorrana, from Brazil to Colorado. She eventually became his legal spouse — and recently announced that she and Garrick had welcomed a baby girl.
Shortly after that announcement, the arrest happened, along with reports that Garrick is no longer allowed at their shared residence while Lorrana remains there with the child. The timing only fueled the outrage.
Fans Ask the Big Question: Will TLC Act?
TLC’s track record with controversial cast members is hit-or-miss. Sometimes they remove problematic figures; other times, they allow them to stay if the drama boosts ratings. So naturally, one question started circulating in fan groups:
“Who thinks TLC will fire Garrick after his arrest for domestic violence? He needs to be gone!! Also, can Lorrana take the baby out of the country?”
Viewer responses came fast — and they weren’t mild.
What Fans Are Saying
Most fans didn’t hesitate to say exactly what they thought the network should do. Many have felt uneasy about Garrick’s behavior for years, and the arrest pushed them past their limit.
Here are some of the comments shared:
“He needs to go away that’s unacceptable. We’re gonna pay to watch somebody that assaults women? Hell no.”
“I think they’d have too – this man is sick and a predator- but if he gets them ratings and thus money – they will probably try to bring back”
“They should fire him. He’s a predator. I don’t know why he’s still on there anyway his behavior is disgusting.”
Some fans also reminded others that TLC has removed families from Seeking Sister Wife before when legal or moral issues surfaced — suggesting that if it happened once, it could happen again.
Where This Leaves TLC
The situation puts the network in a familiar but uncomfortable position. Controversy can draw viewers, but in this case the backlash is overwhelming, and fans are making it clear they don’t want Garrick on their screens anymore.
Whether TLC decides to quietly phase him out, publicly announce his removal, or continue business as usual remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: this time, fans are not whispering. They are demanding action — loudly.
