Seeking Sister Wife: Garrick’s Journey Hits Another Rough Patch
The showrunners have been focusing on Garrick’s journey and his belief in plural marriage. For the past few seasons, fans have seen him fight for that very belief and look for more and more partners. This happened despite the fact that his current partners, Dannielle and Lorrana, expressed their hesitation. Garrick justified his belief as his spiritual calling whenever someone questioned him. However, Garrick was arrested on charges of domestic violence back in November.
After the incident, the Merrifield household was shocked, and they even removed the pictures of Lorrana from their public profile. During the season finale, Garrick still spoke about adding another wife, despite all of this development. He even suggested that Dannielle might need to legally marry a potential partner to speed up her move to the United States. Neither Lorrana nor Dannielle was happy to hear this, as Lorrana had just given birth to their child.
Seeking Sister Wife: Garrick’s Luxury Dating App Profile Surfaces
Problems haven’t stopped coming for Garrick as fans recently took to online communities to discuss the reality star. Many saw screenshots of what appears to be Garrick’s dating profile. According to Reddit users, the profile was found on Luxy, an elite dating app that can cost up to $999 for a three-month membership. The account appeared verified and listed Garrick as a premium user seeking a long-term relationship.
The timing didn’t sit well with fans, but they still put two and two together. The profile allegedly surfaced shortly after his recent arrest. Many fans questioned why he would maintain such an expensive membership if he was not actively looking for someone new. Other fans felt it suggested Garrick was already planning his next chapter, as this might signal that Dannielle and Lorrana want to leave him.
Viewers also criticized the profile itself. Some mocked his grammar and his promises about faith, love, and charity. Others felt that Garrick was misleading women by mentioning openness to a plural family only in the last sentence. Some labeled his behavior disturbing and even called him a “creep” for acting like this. Others questioned TLC for still not addressing the situation and keeping Garrick on their payroll.
