Seeking Sister Wife’s Lorrana Says She Will No Longer Be Silent and Accuses Garrick and Dannielle of Mistreatment
Her Instagram posts say she has separated, sought legal counsel, launched fundraising for legal costs, and plans to speak publicly about her situation.
Overview
- In early June Lorrana Merrifield posted on Instagram that she will “not be quiet anymore,” asking followers to pray for her and her infant daughter and signaling she may go public with further details.
- Lorrana alleges that her husband Garrick and his first wife Dannielle have mistreated her, used her words against her, refused to cooperate with her, and treated her “as if [she] were nobody.”
- The family’s history includes Lorrana’s move from Brazil to live with the Merrifields in Colorado, a courthouse marriage to Garrick, and the birth of their daughter before Garrick’s November arrest on charges tied to obstruction of telephone services and domestic violence.
- Lorrana says she has separated and left the Merrifield home, is seeking a family attorney and online fundraising to cover legal costs, and reporting notes inconsistencies about her precise living arrangements while Garrick and Dannielle have not issued a public response.
- Public reaction has been intense, with commenters raising unverified safety and trafficking concerns, and the next developments to watch are any formal legal filings, custody steps, and on-the-record responses from Garrick or Dannielle.
