Doubling Down With The Derricos: Deon Has An Estranged Son, Derron!
Doubling Down With The Derricos documents the lives of Deon, Karen, and their 14 children. However, a family member is missing from TLC’s spotlight: Deon’s estranged son, Derron. Even if he doesn’t appear on the show, fans still remember and often delve into his past.
A Redditor recently stirred up a discussion by shedding light on Derron, whom Deon adopted before meeting Karen. Shockingly, allegations have surfaced suggesting Deon used Derron’s identity in fraudulent schemes, including loans and credit cards that were never repaid.
Redditors pieced together what they knew about Derron. One Doubling Down With The Derricos fan gave insights, “Derron is Deon’s adopted son who he adopted before he met Karen. They are estranged because Deon fraudulently took out loans and credit cards in Derron’s name that were never paid back.” A user went further into explaining, disclosing Derron was originally named Jasper and met Deon when he was a bus driver. He later changed his name starting with a ‘D’ after his adoption.
Fans expressed shock and concern over Deon’s alleged scams involving Derron. One Redditor said, “I am beginning to wonder if it was another “Eric” type situation… meaning Deon met this somewhat vulnerable young man who had no family and took him in like he did Eric and did that pseudo adoption thing and then stole his identity.” Another viewer said, “It’s very weird. I’m not sure what his obsession is with having kids and adopting adults, but he creeps me out.”
Doubling Down With The Derricos: How Are Relations Between Derron And Deon?
It appears that Derron holds a grudge against Deon. In 2014, Deon faced charges of real estate fraud. However, they eventually cleared his name. The officials also reviewed Derron during the investigation. Derron, who was 22 at that time, appeared to be upset over his father taking out student loans that he did not need. He also alleged that fraud was at play. Doubling Down With The Derricos fans later wondered about the current age of Derron.
A redditor speculated, “The eldest kid is like 32 going on 33 so highly unlike that is Karen’s child (she would’ve been 11 when he was born).” Another fan wrote, “I sat 14 to 17 kids. Because to me it’s clear they have 14..” He added, “I am not sure if Eric or the oldest adopted count as their kid. I could make a case. yes. I could make a case no.. And then Carter; that’s highly sensitive, it would be so disrespectful of me to even go there. But Back to Darrian-I am 95% sure she’s the oldest bio kid of those two lovable lunnies.” For all the latest reality TV updates, keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers.
