Briana Culberson, the beloved daughter of The Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson, has broken her silence about her hellish marriage. In a series of shocking revelations, Briana has not only spoken out about the mental health crisis she has faced over the years, but has also made serious allegations against her husband, Ryan Culberson, with concrete evidence of violence and controlling behavior.
Sources close to Briana say she endured a stressful marriage while struggling with severe depression, a condition she claims was made worse by the effects of the prescription drugs she was forced to take. Briana has shared that these drugs not only severely affected her mental health but also made her more vulnerable, making her a target for Ryan's controlling and abusive behavior.
In an emotional social media post (which has since been made private), Briana wrote: “I have been living in a spiral of pain, trapped between the side effects of the medication and the abuse from the person who was supposed to protect me. I kept quiet for so long because I thought I had no choice, but now I can’t take it anymore.”
According to the source, Ryan Culberson was often controlling and emotionally abusive towards Briana, especially when she was at her weakest. The evidence Briana revealed included text messages, emails and even recordings that showed Ryan verbally and physically threatening her. One shared text message showed Ryan criticizing her for “not being good enough” and blaming her for the problems in their lives.
“He made me feel like I was the one to blame, that everything bad that happened was my fault,” Briana said in a statement. “He took advantage of my weakest moments to exert control, making me believe that I couldn’t get through it without him.”
Briana’s story quickly went viral on social media, with many fans and feminists voicing their support for her. One wrote: “Briana is proof that anyone, no matter how strong, can be trapped in a toxic relationship. She is so brave to speak out.”
However, Ryan Culberson has denied all the allegations. In a statement released through his lawyer, Ryan called the accusations “completely baseless” and claimed that Briana was trying to “smear” him for attention. “These allegations are not only false, but they are also extremely damaging to my image and reputation,” Ryan said.
Despite this, Briana has stood by her story and said she is no longer afraid to face the truth. “I have been silent for too long, but I will not let anyone, including Ryan, make me feel less worthy. I want to speak my mind so that others know they are not alone.”
Briana and Ryan’s marriage has long been the focus of public attention, especially since they appeared on The Real Housewives of Orange County. When they first got married, they were considered the ideal couple, but signs of trouble began to appear in recent years. According to sources, Briana tried to keep her marital problems private because she did not want to hurt her family and children, but she eventually realized that silence only made things worse.
With these serious allegations, fans are waiting to see what Briana and Ryan will do next. Will this be a wake-up call for Briana to escape this toxic marriage, or will the drama continue to escalate? One thing is for sure, this story will continue to make headlines and shock the public in the coming time.
