We Finally Know Why Brandi Left Storage Wars

Brandi Passante was a fan favorite on Storage Wars — the insanely popular reality show following storage locker auctions and the people who attend them — primarily thanks to her epic eye-rolls and razor-sharp wit. Alongside her then-partner Jarrod Schulz, with whom she constantly bickered virtually every time they were on screen, Passante established herself as a must-watch on the A&E hit. While other participants acted impulsively, the longtime business owner mulled over each mysterious storage locker before placing her bid. The chemistry between Passante and Schulz was such a huge part of Storage Wars that when the couple exited the show in 2014, fans were shocked. Considering how beloved they were, viewers knew it had nothing to do with likability. But, according to the couple themselves, it appears they never envisioned themselves being on TV in the first place. At the time, Passante and Schulz actually took a leave of absence from Storage Wars because they were gifted their own spin-off show, 2014's Brandi & Jarrod: Married to the Job. The title played off of how the couple had never said "I do," in spite of being together for over a decade and sharing two kids. With a press release calling the duo, quote, "America's favorite bidders," their dedicated reality show followed the couple as they navigated their busy home life in Orange County, California, all while juggling the running of their second hand store with raising their two kids.
