sMothered Season 2 on TLC brought Brittani and her mom Mary who live in Jensen Beach, Florida. Recall, Brittani trained as a corrections officer. And, she came out.

sMothered – Did Frank Canuto pass away?

We reported in July this year, that Brittani revealed that since the age of 13, she preferred girls. Some fans thought that Mary must have already known. After all, the mom and daughter went for colonic cleansing together. And, they shared a shower. While it seemed a huge reveal on the show, fans were not that shocked. After all, Mary took it in her stride. And honestly, some fans even thought that Mary and Brittani bordered on “incest.”

On Twitter, some sMothered fans even suggested that Brittani only came out to upset Frank. She made no secret that she didn’t like him. And, Mary accused him of “cheating ” on her for “masturbating.” One critic said, “I knew Brittani was either gay or not a virgin. She is jealous of her Mom and Frank’s relationship so she tries to sabotage it.” Well, if Frank Canuto just passed away, TLC fans on Reddit hope they made their peace first. But where did the news that he possibly died come from?
