Legal Action Against Stalking and Harassment

Solomon “Bear” Brown, known for his time on the reality series Alaskan Bush People, has successfully secured a temporary civil protection order in Washington. The legal move comes in response to persistent harassment and stalking directed at him and his family following the tragic death of his brother, Matt.


According to court documents filed on July 2, Bear detailed a series of disturbing encounters involving an individual who was reportedly part of a private search and rescue effort that eventually discovered Matt’s remains in the Okanogan River. Bear stated that he has no personal relationship with this individual, yet the man has allegedly launched a campaign of online attacks across multiple social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.


Escalating Threats and Bizarre Claims

In the petition, Bear described the individual’s behavior as “increasingly unhinged,” noting that the man has made numerous baseless accusations. These include claims that Bear was responsible for the 2020 Palmer Fire and that he had orchestrated harassment against the man’s family. Bear expressed deep concern over the stability of the individual, stating:


«The incessant — and increasingly unhinged — attacks are extremely concerning. He has posted dozens of videos on social media, spewing hate, and vitriol against my family.»

Specific Grievances and Safety Concerns

Beyond digital harassment, the petition highlights several alarming actions taken by the individual:

  • Inappropriate conduct regarding the deceased: Bear alleges that the man filmed and posted images of his brother’s body and retained possession of Matt’s truck, which he allegedly refused to return.
  • Unauthorized merchandise: The individual reportedly used the brother’s image and intellectual property to sell T-shirts, claiming the money was for the family, though no funds were ever received.
  • Direct threats of violence: The most significant fear stems from statements the individual allegedly made regarding Bear’s return to Washington for his brother’s funeral, specifically claiming he was “locked and loaded.”

Bear emphasized the gravity of these threats, noting that he consulted with local law enforcement, who acknowledged the potential danger and advised him to seek legal protection. Under the terms of the temporary order, the individual must remain at least 1,000 feet away from Bear and his relatives. Furthermore, the reality star has requested that the court mandate mental health and substance abuse evaluations for the individual, as well as the surrender of any firearms.


Court Proceedings

As the individual had not yet been formally served with the initial paperwork, the court reissued the temporary protection order on July 14. A follow-up hearing is scheduled for July 28 to address the matter further. Bear continues to seek safety for himself and his family members, including his ex-wife Raiven, his mother, and his siblings, during this difficult period of mourning.
