Barry Weiss is easily the most beloved star in Storage Wars and even the ladies would agree. The TV celebrity and businessman is known to be quite popular to women and ladies of all ages would even take the trouble of personally going to the Storage Wars set for a chance encounter with the famed auctioneer. Regardless if Barry doesn’t luck out on a storage unit, there’s always a lovely consolidation prize waiting for him just outside the set.
For some reason though, Weiss is not so blessed when it came to love and relationship compared to his business ventures. The Storage Wars star is currently single and divorced from his anonymous wife 30 years ago. He now shares custody with his two children, a son named Jack and a daughter named Julie, who today, are already adults. Barry did share that he received numerous marriage proposals after he got divorced. He truly is an authentic “Ladies Man”!
The Hand Shrine
Bidders on the show don’t have a clue what they’re going to get after they swap their hard earned money for a storage locker. The network, after all, describes Storage Wars as “modern-day pirates blindly bid on abandoned storage units that may contain junk or treasure”. Indeed, there are units that hold untold riches but there are also other Storage Wars lockers that have housed the strange and truly bizarre.
Of course, cast members of the reality TV series are doing their best to generate the highest ROI (Return on Investment) but along the way, they can also unearth something that is a bit too weird to fathom. One cast member became the next curator of a “hand collection” that included hand sculptures, hand posters, and other items that we probably shouldn’t continue mentioning at this point.
Meeting At The Audition
Dan and Laura Dotson are one of the more widely known casts in the Storage Wars because of their business-like approach when it came to auctioning and for their adorable personalities as well. The two auctioneers first met in 1996 when Laura took part on one of Dan’s auctions to bid on restaurant equipment and not before long, they were already head over heels in love with each other.
On an interview with Huffington Post back in 2013, Laura revealed that she already fell in love with Dan the first time she laid her eyes on him. The couple would eventually go into the auction business together following their marriage and become successful partners for almost two decades, including their renowned duo on Storage Wars.
The Show Financed Brandi’s Boob Job
Not long ago, breast augmentation was typically reserved for the wealthy and prominent. Nowadays though, ordinary people don’t have to desire what celebrities and models have. Most women can enjoy an extra perk to their overall appearance and, naturally, confidence for just $3,719 with plenty of financing services readily available to cover the whole cost of the operation.
Now if normal, average income people can avail for a breast enhancement operation, it’s easy to conclude that the cast of Storage Wars are more than capable of paying off their own plastic surgery. To no one’s surprise, Storage Wars notorious whistleblower, David Hester, made a stunning revelation claiming that Brandi’s boob job was covered for by Original Productions. Supposedly, the production team wanted Storage Wars to appear sexier and reckoned that investing on a breast enlargement would make a positive impact on ratings.
Jarrod’s Sordid Past
The showbiz industry is filled with stories of stars who triumphed over horrible pasts to reach the pinnacle of success. As a matter of fact, it’s even a widely used plotline in many Hollywood films! Prevailing over dreadful childhoods to become one of the wealthiest, most popular and most influential individuals around the world, has been somewhat of an American dream cliché.
But it does happen and people do rise from their miserable pasts and become something greater than themselves. If you happened to watch all episodes of Storage Wars, you might have observed Jarod indicate a dark past. As it occurred, he was imprisoned for more than a year in 2000 for breaking the law numerous times. When he was still young, Jarrod has done almost any crime you can think off, from DUI to narcotics.
