TLC’s Karen Derrico<\/a> is facing criminal charges after being arrested in Las Vegas … and prosecutors say her ex-husband and his kids were the target of alleged death threats.<\/p>\n

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ … the “Doubling Down With the Derricos” star has been charged with harassment, violating a restraining order, preventing a witness from testifying through threat of violence, and aggravated stalking.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege Karen sent several emails to her ex-husband Deon, with whom she has 14 kids … telling him she could kill him and didn’t care about going to jail.<\/p>\n

She also allegedly threatened to “kill any of the kids” who sided with Deon during their messy split … and threatened to kill Deon if he showed up for a court hearing over the restraining order he filed against her.<\/p>\n

A source close to Deon tells TMZ … he filed for the restraining order due to the alleged threats … and as they got worse, he filed a police report, which included the alleged threatening emails.<\/p>\n

\"Karen<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

TMZ broke the story … Karen and Deon got divorced<\/a> in the summer of 2024 … and ended up splitting legal and physical custody of their 14 children.<\/p>\n

Our source tells us … even after the divorce, they continued to live together for financial reasons and for the huge family to be one unit … but as it became more clear they wouldn’t reconcile, Karen allegedly got pissed and moved out earlier this year with four of the children.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Karen’s attorney, Jess Marchese, tells TMZ … Deon sent the threats to himself and made it it look like they were from Karen in order to screw her over … and they are working with tech experts to prove it.<\/p>\n

Karen says she’s totally innocent — and would never threaten to harm her children.<\/p>\n

Marchese adds … Karen is out on a $2,000 bond and has been outfitted with an ankle monitor.<\/p>\n

The fifth and final season of ‘Doubling Down’ aired in 2024 … the show followed the former couple’s chaotic life with 14 children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TLC’s Karen Derrico Charged After Allegedly Threatening to Kill Ex-Husband Published June 24, 2026 11:45 AM PDT |…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":758852,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,44,82,865,866],"class_list":["post-758851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=758851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/758852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
