'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.

"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" so what do you do with people on the edge like this? You put them on tv in front of cameras. How many more families will be destroyed because of these lame tv shows, because of everybody's need to be a 'star' now? These people should be thoroughly investigated mentally befoer they throw them in fornt of cameras. The only people who suffer in the end are the children.

The stress of sextuplets is going to put a huge strain on a marriage.

The statement about not being a way out of marriage is ludicrous and yes their is. It's called divorce and his staying and hating every minute is senseless.

I wish more people would adopt instead of risking multiple births. Only certain people have the ability to go through this life altering experience.

I don't know why it isn't picked up in pre-treatment counseling (do they counsel people about the possibility, even likelihood of having multiples?).

Jon Gosselin walked out and Kate has managed though she is criticized all the time.

So it can be done.

Yea moving away from their support system of friends and family was the stupidest move ever! They kept alluding to the fact that they would FINALLY be alone just the eight of them. NOW are they so happy to be alone with no help whatsoever??!! Abusive as Bryan's Dad may have been, there was one point he made that was true.....moving to Florida was a dumb move!!

By kathy

Damn! If you've seen the show, you'll know that he IS always a spoiled-self-centered-ego-driveN-whiney-baby! And, those are the nice things that I can say about him! And, yes; she could get a divorce and have the support of her family and GOOD FRIENDS BACK HOME!!!

Help me out here. The wife "drives three hours, works 50-60 hours a week." Where are the children during her drive time/working? When is there time to do a "show?" When does this woman sleep? Anyone who has children knows the logistics do not work here.

It is called a REALITY (staged) show. Not real. Just scripted. People get real.

I am proud to say I have never watched any of these reality tv shows but I have viewed Bryan just now and must say the problem with him may lye in the fact that his eyes are too close together!

She does look scared! My first thought as I looked at their picture. I cannot believe this woman agreeing to leave family and support! The sign of a control\abusive situation from all I have read about such relationships.

I watched that program once and he came off as a hot tempered jerk the whole time. Again, the real victims are the children. I don't feel sorry for the parents because they are the selfish, greedy ones; who pump out multible children for fame and what they hope fortune. And in the end tax payers end up fronting the bills!

By linda church

Jenny sould take the children and go live with her parents. Brain needs alot of help and souldn't be with the his family until he get the right help!!!!! His family doesn't need him until he get his act together!!!!!!

By Kat

Lol. like this wasn't bound to happen...I've actually never heard of this show, but i read the story and the only thing that came to mind was "figures"
Throw the book at em, take the kids away....however can't blame the guy, I'd go nuts too with all those rugrats running around

By marcia

Jenny needs to recognize the cycle of violence. He has been verbally abusive many times on the show and now maybe physical...the abuse is escalating. Divorce is an option Jenny if he continues this abusive behavior. Her parents are more help than Brian anyway.

By MIMOM

ANY reality show that involves children under 18 years of age should be banned from television because of exploitation and abuse.

If you want to watch childish behavior - watch the Jerseyshore crew - no matter how childish and stupid, they are "legally" adults.

By floweranne

Why do t.v exects think these reality shows with people with a horde of children makes good programing? I'm sure they encourage them to be controversial for the viewers. This kind of show is basically garbage.

By Diana Palm

I watched the show one time in which he called his wife the "R" word for having a difference of opinion from his, I was done with that show after that and I'm not surprised he would run his mouth, he seemed like the type to me

'whell I was done with him and the

Isnt it obvious that withought jesus in your life fame and fortune can get ahold of you and ruin your life. Look at the Duggards there family is strong! why is that ? becouse there family is centered aroud there creator and Savior Jesus Christ

By Anna

I don't watch this show. After Jon and Kate, multiple birth families were enough for me. I would suggest not watching this show. Obviously, they are having problems. He's an abusive husband. Why enable this sort of behavior?

By mkimani16

.Raising kids is very stressful; especially when you're not getting enough sleep. Hats off to anyone raising that many without losing their mind. Its no excuse for abuse, there are healthier ways of dealing with the stress

By Mike

This guy is a JERK. I feel sorry for his wife. She works her rear off and he doesn't even have a job.
