My 600-Lb Life's Brianne Dias’ Divorce Got Messy

The situation following the divorce only intensified. Rick had a toxic history with Brianne preceding the divorce. Unsurprisingly, after the infidelity was revealed, Rick continued to threaten Brianne’s safety. Brianne was so worried for her security that she took out restraining orders against Rick as well as Jamie (via Looper).

In an interview with Starcasm, Brianne claimed, and a few anonymous sources confirmed, that Jamie had several other outstanding restraining orders against her. Additionally, several sources maintained that the “other woman” had been “kicked out” of at least three local churches. After Jaime allegedly attempted to hit Brianne, who was driving with a baby in the car, Brianne opted to seek legal assistance.

Brianne shared legal documents detailing the dates and legal actions executed by both parties. The initial document, dated February 26, 2021, provided proof of a “Restraining Order to Prevent Abuse.” This legally binding court order listed Brianne as the petitioner and Jamie as the respondent. Most concerningly, the document indicated that the perpetrator had inflicted abuse “within the last 180 days” (of February 26, 2021) and that Brianne was in immediate danger.

Fortunately, Brianne has left her past behind and has persevered despite the incalculable hurdles along the way.

The order taken out against Rick was dated just a few weeks later. While both Rick and Brianne signed, unlike Jamie’s order, a judge had not signed this document. It is possible that a judge had not yet overseen the case and that Jamie’s restraining order took precedence at the time. Fortunately, Brianne has left her past behind and has persevered despite the incalculable hurdles along the way.
