INTERVIEW: Deon Derrico (Doubling Down With The Derricos) On His Divorce From Karen, Strained Relationship With Mom ‘GG,’ And Why The Show Is Leaving TLC. Wednesday, November 19th, 2025

In this episode, I had an enlightening conversation with Deon Derrico, the star of TLC's "Doubling Down with the Derricos." Deon opened up about the challenges and joys of raising 14 children with his wife Karen, including the emotional toll of multiple miscarriages and high-risk pregnancies. We discussed their recent decision to part ways with TLC after five seasons, driven by a desire for more control over their story, especially during their divorce. Deon shared the financial struggles they've faced since the show was shelved and their return to regular jobs—him as a school bus driver and Karen as a substitute teacher. Despite their separation, Deon and Karen continue to co-parent their children, and they are exploring new ventures, including potentially self-distributing their content. This episode offered a raw and honest look into the complexities of their family life and their future plans.
