Doubling Down Star Arrested for Death Threats

Karen Derrico, known for her role in the TLC reality show Doubling Down, has been arrested in Las Vegas. She faces serious charges, including harassment, violating a restraining order, threatening a witness, and aggravated stalking. Court records indicate Karen allegedly sent emails to her ex-husband, Deon Derrico, threatening harm to him and their 14 children if they did not comply with her demands.

Karen pleaded not guilty to the charges on June 23 and is scheduled to return to court on August 6. Her attorney, Jess Marchese, suggested that Deon Derrico may have sent the threats himself to frame Karen. The legal team is reportedly working with tech experts to prove this claim. Karen was released on a $2,000 bond and is required to wear an ankle monitor.

Karen, 46, and Deon, 55, were married for 19 years, divorcing in June 2024. Their reality series documented their lives with 14 children, including multiple sets of multiples. Deon has spoken about the family's adjustment to the divorce, emphasizing their focus on the children's well-being during this "unique, complicated" transition. The couple aimed to keep their divorce private, filing in Nevada, but the news was soon leaked.
