“We decided, if we’re going to do this, we got to just tell the truth,” she said. “A lot of people see the fairy tale of marriage and ‘they lived happily ever after’…but we gotta tell people that is not all the truth.”
She added: “When you’ve been together as long as I have been with my husband, honey, you have been through just about everything under the sun. It is my responsibility, if I’m going to use my platform that reaches millions, I gotta tell the truth.”
Luckily, being candid comes naturally to Brown.
In August of 2022, the celebrity chef — who is known for her uplifting videos on TikTok —shared an honest message on Instagramafter her Food Network series,It’s CompliPlated, was moved from a primetime slot.
“I know I’ve said this so many times before, but for whatever reason, people just don’t seem to believe me, okay,” she said. “There is not a company, there is not a network, there is not a person, place, or thing that is going to change who I am.”

While she did not address Food Network directly in her post, she praised those who understand her vision.
“Thank you to all the partners that i work with that truly see me for me, I appreciate you! To those that don’t see me for me but see me only for their benefit, I SEE YOU!” she wrote.
