If you’re a fan of Storage Wars like me, you’ve probably heard about the latest scandal involving two of its stars, Jarrod Schultz and Brandi Passante. These two were once the dynamic duo on the show, but now they find themselves in hot water with the law.
It all started when Passante was enjoying a night out with friends at a bar in Orange County. To everyone’s surprise, Schultz showed up and things quickly took a turn for the worse. The former partners got into a heated argument, and Schultz even went as far as shoving Passante multiple times. It was a shocking display of aggression, especially considering their history together.
Although Passante tried to diffuse the situation by asking Schultz to leave, he refused to comply. Eventually, the police got involved, and Schultz was arrested on domestic violence battery charges. This incident has left fans of the show stunned and disappointed, as we never expected such a dark twist to unfold in real life.
According to law enforcement sources, Schultz completely lost control and let his anger get the best of him. Passante immediately reported the attack, and Schultz was questioned by the police a few days later. Despite eyewitness accounts supporting Passante’s claims, Schultz denied ever laying a hand on her during their altercation at the bar.
However, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office took Passante’s testimony into consideration and ultimately charged Schultz with one count of misdemeanor domestic violence battery. This decision speaks volumes about the seriousness of the situation and the need for justice to be served.
The news of their split came as a shock to fans, as Schultz and Passante were affectionately known as “the young guns” on the show. They had appeared together on twelve seasons of Storage Wars, captivating audiences with their chemistry and treasure-hunting adventures in abandoned storage units. But the premiere of season thirteen revealed that they had gone their separate ways and would now be bidding independently.
Passante confirmed the breakup during an episode that aired on April 20, 2021. She mentioned that their romantic relationship had ended after filming for the twelfth season concluded in November 2018. Although they were never married, they did share a connection beyond their business partnership, as they are the proud parents of two children, Cameron and Payton.
TMZ reached out to Schultz for a comment on the incident, but he has chosen to remain silent for now. It’s unclear how this legal battle will unfold and what consequences Schultz will face if found guilty. As fans, we can only hope for a just resolution to this unfortunate situation.
As we eagerly await the thirteenth season of Storage Wars, it’s important to note that many familiar faces will be returning to the show. Dan and Laura Dotson, Darrell Sheets, Kenny Crossley, Rene Nezhoda, Casey Nezhoda, Ivy Calvin, and his sons will all be part of the new season. However, one notable absence will be Dave Hester, known for his signature “yup” catchphrase. The reasons behind his departure remain unknown at this time. In a surprising turn of events, Sheets has come out of retirement to join the cast for this exciting season of the reality show.
Storage Wars has always been a thrilling and entertaining series, showcasing the excitement of uncovering hidden treasures. While this recent incident has cast a shadow over the show, let’s not forget the fantastic cast members who continue to make it a must-watch for fans like us.
