Totally agree too. Don’t get me started on sending drug addicts to prison...
And just try getting a decent job with a felony on your record. It's enough to make someone turn to, I don't know, crime? Drugs to ease the pain?

Yep-- I'm dying for the tea on this. For him to stand by her when she got convicted and wait for her, is pretty amazing.
From his Instagram pics you can tell they've been together since before she was even arrested - and they must have met in Colorado. He works (or maybe worked) for a place called NDT Group - a company that does pipeline work - which is based in Canada. He's in Alabama because Britney most likely isn't allowed to travel to Canada, but I am really curious if he's going to be able to work in the US.

Here's the earliest pic of them together on his IG - from June 2013: https://www.instagram.com/p/aciipHjtiw/ ... rythekid86

It seems like she's only been out of a jail about a WEEK, so this living situation does seem quite rushed. I'm sure it was planned when she was still in jail, but JEEZ that's a ton of big changes for someone with a lot to deal with. Hopefully it works out for her!

I wonder if they lived together before she got in trouble. We keep saying that them moving in together is a huge step for being right out of prison, but it really wouldn’t be if they were living together before. I mean yes, anyone being released is going to have to take some time to get back in the real world, but it would make sense for them to live together again if they were before. (He couldn’t have been involved with drugs either Bc it would be a violation of her probation to live there if that was the case.)

In my mind, if she was dating him before she went to prison, the chances of him also having some substance abuse issue seem high. According to his Instagram, he thinks it's hilarious that he had too much to drink and threw a BBQ across the parking lot with food flying. This photo is a throwback picture of himself and Britany doing "noodle beers" back in 2014. Probably not the kind of thing you would post if your girlfriend was sober? I could be wrong, but I'm not so sure everything is hunky-dory. I get why Katie and Cullen don't want to address it on the vlog, it's not their story to tell, but there's something about all the little white lies that make it feel like they're brushing it under the rug? Kind of like that saying, "Your secrets make you sick." It just seems unhealthy to be putting on this charade for the vlog, adding to the stigma and shame when they're pretending she was "out of town" or "in Colorado" all this time. I get that there is no reasonable explanation that they could give for where she went and why they had to postpone his father's memorial, but why does she need to be featured so prominently in the first place?

Would a bank give a mortgage to someone who could be deported? I'm no expert, but I would assume he would need some sort of legal status to qualify?

Canadians can buy property in the U.S. - they just can't stay here more than 6 months a year or work (well, unless he has some sort of visa to extend his stay and allows him to work). Where I live in SWFL we have TONS of retired Canadian snowbirds who own homes and live here during the winter. It's actually shocking to see how many Canadian license plates are down here all winter for "season"!!

She was living with the guy she got arrested with. I don't mean living with him romantically, because I don't know. Could be just roommates But they had the same address. So I don't _think_ she was living with Cory before. But even if she was, living with someone when you're using is very different than living with them when you're clean. But people do it, obviously.
He could have been using drugs, but wasn't caught or part of the dealing, in which case, he wouldn't be banned from her living with him. If he had been caught with her, he would have been deported, most likely.

I googled tonight and found info. We may not have all the missing pieces though. She may have been released earlier etc. There isn't a whole lot online IMO. It's a bit too easy to fill in details. I respect Cullen for not bringing any of his sister's business etc. into the vlogs. I think he is ecstatic that she is back and hopefully they can have a healthy relationship.

I wonder why they are going out of the way to show her, and her house and the dinner, etc and make a whole vlog about how she's moving nearby as well. I know we can't really compare what we do with what vloggers do, but to me it's as if my sister got released from jail, and I posted her all over my Facebook page (since I don't vlog), saying she's been in Colorado, and then showing pictures of _her_ house. I wouldn't post a bunch of pictures of someone else's house on my page unless I was showing off. It's just weird to me, especially when they are hiding the truth. Makes me think she's going to start vlogging again. She has a channel, after all. And it seems like it's the thing vlogger relatives do. Especially if the main channel in the family has any success. Or maybe it is just showing off. They show Granddolly and Granddoc's house plenty. Maybe this is Cullen saying "See? My family is successful too!"
Hiding it does add to the stigma. It's all very odd to me.
Anyone taking bets on how long it's going to take her to start posting vlogs?

This house debate is hilarious to me. I'm a SAHM, does that mean the beautiful home my husband and I built together is not mine? Lol.
And this is all under the assumption that she didn't put any money towards the house. As pointed out, she could have inherited some money. And they have been together since 2013, this could very easily be something they were already working towards before she went to jail.
And how is it a bad idea for her to be "rushing" into these things? Now she's living in her own stable home with a stable, supportive partner who can help her through recovery. As opposed to struggling to get by somewhere else all on her own. Her family is obviously supportive but they all got their own lives going on. I find it much more beneficial to have a partner that can hold her accountable and help her through this delicate time.

I haven't watched C&K (or given them much thought) since unsubbing from them when they ditched a con, but went to hang with the Lumps instead, but I got a random email from Tapatalk (like they like to send) to suck me back in.

So in reading various pages in this thread, I'm just responding to various things.

Re: the chunky necklaces Katie wears. I think it's a thing for bigger women to wear them. I think it's to take away from the size of their bodies maybe? I've seen women Katie's size and bigger wear them. I'm way bigger than Katie though and realize how bad they would look on me. And yes about finding a shirt that fits and then buying it in every color available. I accidentally bought a shirt in the same color twice because I hadn't taken the first one out of the bag first. That's what I get for having to shop online I guess.

Re: the price of Katie's clothing haul. Clothes for bigger people cost more money. Like way more. Size 10 t-shirt is $10, size 30 is $30. So if she were smaller, the haul probably would have cost less. Then again, it also matters where she went shopping as for how much they upcharged for the clothes.

Re: the ads playing during livestreams or videos. The creator/uploader doesn't choose how many ads get played, that's up to Youtube and based on the length of the video.

Re: Britany's house and calling it her house. She lives there, it's her house. I live in a house purchased by my mom's boyfriend. His name is the only one on the paperwork. I still say "my house". It's easier than saying "the house my mom's boyfriend bought". So it's probably easier for them to say "her/Britany's house" than "the house her boyfriend bought".

From Cory's IG pics, Britany looks healthy. Whatever drugs she was on when she went in, she's not on them now and hopefully, she can stay off of them for Cory and her kids.

Has C&K mentioned anything that's going on in the world? Vegas, the hurricanes, California on fire, etc or are they just in a bubble that nothing bad is happening elsewhere?

Ah, interesting! I have a feeling an engagement will be coming very soon so that he can stay in the US, though apparently he's owned two properties in Colorado since 2014. He does not seem like a catch to me (too many immature, sexist, and homophobic social media posts), but I'm sure Cullen will embrace him because they seem to be on a similar level. Sadly, after reading his Instagram, I really doubt he's encouraging her sobriety.

I don't think Cullen's dad was wealthy, and cancer is expensive to treat, especially if you're willing to try experimental treatments that insurance won't cover. Those can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket. It seems that Cory has invested in real estate in Colorado. We know Hoover, AL isn't an expensive area, I think her boyfriend could swing that by himself. I personally don't care if she wants to refer to it as her house. I'm not so sure she was in the right frame of mind to be saving for a house when she was trafficking drugs, but I suppose anything is possible. Her facebook shows her posing with a different guy in the summer of 2014, I don't think they have been together since 2013. Anyways, unless Britany starts her own channel, I'm also getting into "beating a dead horse" territory.

They've known each other since at least June 2013 and together since Nov/Dec 2013

YEP! It looks like she was dating someone else during the summer of 2014 from those FB pics. On Cory's IG the last pics of her were in June 2014 (before just recent ones or reposts). Maybe she had to move back to Alabama for legal reasons?? But, yes, it appears they broke up after her arrest but before she was sentenced and went to jail.

How did we find out that she was ever in prison in the first place? Is there proof of it? Not trying to argue that it didn’t happen, i am just curious.

There's TONS of proof. News articles about her arrest and her booking info as an inmate are ALL online. Just google her name.

How did she look at houses, make an offer and then get (and complete) a mortgage and all the paperwork that involves if she was still in prison.

Sorry, but I think the argument that her and Cullen got some sort of large inheritance from their dad is a bit reaching. He was fairly old school and of the opinion that Cullen needed to be a man and take care of his own family. I doubt he made him the beneficiary of a large insurance policy.

I agree with the posters saying this seems impulsive, and it has nothing to do with it being that Cory's name solely on the mortgage or not. When I moved in with my husband he was the primary name on our mortgage, but we had a stable history and had been together 7 years. Vlogging and having everything you want has ruined a lot of people, and I don't see how having everything easy is going to help Brittany right away.
