'Raising Sextuplets' Dad, Bryan Masche, Arrested

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 20th 2010 06:10AM

Reality show dad Bryan Masche was arrested in Camp Verde Saturday and charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and threatening domestic violence.

The arrest was made after 'Raising Sextuplets' star allegedly threatened his family and began yelling profanities, E! Online reports. A call was made to 911, and the investigation escalated when he did not comply with the deputies' requests.

He was taken into custody at the Yavapi County Detention Center and subsequently released on $3,500 bond.

It is not known whether Masche's wife and TV costar, Jenny, was involved in the incident. Masche is the father of Arizona's second-only set of sextuplets, born three years ago. The family currently lives in Florida and star on a WE reality show.

Back in 2009, Bryan and Jenny admitted that raising six young children was difficult and caused a lot of tension between them. "We have totally brutal fights," Jenny told PEOPLE.

The couple were a "work in progress" and hoped to work through their marital problems. "When you understand that there's no way out of marriage, that forces you to work on your marriage," Bryan added.

Hearing this doesn't surprise me at all.. He always seems so short tempered with his wife when I have watched their show.. I hope he gets his act together for the sake of the family. He needs to take responsibility for those kids just like Jenny.. She always seems very even keeled on the show...

Has it occured to anyone else that reality show parents, and I mean every one of them, shouldn't be given custody of anything with a heartbeat?

Why yes, it has. I wouldn't let these idiots water my plants when I was on vacation, much less raise a child.

Ok, who wouldn't be a train reck with that many small children? I'd lose it myself...why, oh, why do people do that? What are fertility docs thinking when they implant that many embryos? I have 4 kids, one at a time is a handful...I cannot imagine the stress and lack of sleep these people are suffering...and filming the train wreck for TV?...good God!

This guy is verbally abusive and she is an idiot to let him or any man talk to her the way her husband does. Whenever I hear this guy talk he sounds gay. I also think because she is the breadwinner it really gets to him and he takes it out on her. I'm not surprised though that this happened with him getting arrested. I hope she wakes up and does what is right for the children. Being in an abusive situation and the children seeing this they will grow up thinking that this is normal and the pattern is set for them to do the same thing. Break the pattern before it's to late.

I am fortunate to only have to imagine how hard it must be; to raise so many. It doesn't make right - a wrong. However, it certainly does explain it to me. Give the man a break.

Rate of child abuse is extremely high in families of multiples. Usually it's not the babies that are abused, it's the older children. Call the hotlines for parent stress.

Cost of 6 babies is enormous. Picture 6 times as much formula and diapers. We had to replace our car, it couldn't fit 3 car seats. Plus most parents can't handle all 6 on their own without going crazy from lack of sleep, they are forced to hire help.

Many parents of multiples have to find creative ways to make money, even if it's something they aren't wild about doing. I'm sure the reality show is one of them.

If you watch such garbage TV, it doesn't say very much about your intelligence.

By renee

he's probably cracking under the strain of six kids.....people dont think before they act....

I have watched an episode or two of the show too, and I don't think she seems very even keeled at all. In fact, I think she seemed very materialistic and irrational. When they were searching for a home, she absolutely was unreasonable! She wants what she wants, when she wants it. I did not like her attitude. It just seems that in today's economy, they may have chosen to stay put, in AZ for the time being instead of making such a huge move. At least they have family in AZ. I hope they get it together.
