They&#8217;d said goodbye to &#8220;Storage Wars&#8221; in 2018, but then it was becoming clear that they were saying goodbye to each other. Picture after picture of her with other guys, in bikinis, and without her engagement ring were posted, as her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_3xWptBHKA\/?igshid=1vl470wergwsf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0account attests.

In June 2021, she appeared on the weekly Newport Beach podcast &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UFGwCVtjwyw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Happening Now with Hammer<\/a>.&#8221; The YouTube and Apple Podcast pages for &#8220;Happening Now&#8221; describe it as a show &#8220;featuring honest, goofy, and positive conversations with intriguing and brilliant guests changing every time.&#8221; Regular hosts Hammer and Troy Davis encountered Passante at a bar and, after striking up a friendship with her, invited her on their show (via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/outsider.com\/entertainment\/storage-wars-what-brandi-passante-considers-worst-pickup-line-shes-heard-bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Outsider<\/a>).<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Since that first encounter, Passante has become a regular co-host of &#8220;Happening Now,&#8221; sitting in with Hammer and Davis whenever she&#8217;s in town. Not terribly structured, &#8220;Happening Now&#8217;s&#8221; topics of conversation range from the best local pizzas and movie reviews to celebrity trials, the Russia\/Ukraine conflict, and marijuana. Passante isn&#8217;t the only &#8220;Storage Wars&#8221; alum to come into the podcast&#8217;s orbit either; her friend Kenny Crossley has become a frequent contributor as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-article\">\n<h2 class=\"\">She&#8217;s taken up charity work<\/h2>\n<div class=\"slide-key image-holder gallery-image-holder credit-image-wrap \" data-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/668436\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now\/\" data-post-title=\"Here's what Brandi Passante from Storage Wars is doing now\" data-slide-num=\"7\" data-post-id=\"668436\"><picture id=\"p426de2a4775fa25767dac30e15dd553f\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/img\/gallery\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now-upgrade\/shes-taken-up-charity-work-1659468161.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 429px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/img\/gallery\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now-upgrade\/shes-taken-up-charity-work-1659468161.sm.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(max-width: 428px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/img\/gallery\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now-upgrade\/shes-taken-up-charity-work-1659468161.jpg\" alt=\"Brandi Passante poses on a couch\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/668436\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now\/\" data-post-id=\"668436\" data-slide-num=\"7\" data-slide-title=\"Here's what Brandi Passante from Storage Wars is doing now: She's taken up charity work\" \/><\/picture><span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Tommaso Boddi\/Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"columns-holder \">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before publicly acknowledging the domestic violence in her relationship with Jarrod Schulz, Brandi Passante was volunteering her time to help survivors of abuse.

After hearing Archer&#8217;s story of domestic violence, Passante volunteered her time and energy. &#8220;I have experienced some things in my life,&#8221; she said, &#8220;and it&#8217;s a really wonderful cause. It&#8217;s things that are needed, so I wanted to help in any way possible.&#8221; She served as emcee for 2019&#8217;s WOWapalooza. With over $100,000 collected, it was a record-setting fundraiser for WOW.<\/p>\n<p>Passante has helped to promote other causes as well. She appeared with author and disability advocate Danny Jordan on Jordan&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/live\/?ref=watch_permalink&amp;v=276437247033455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parenting Countdown Podcast<\/a>,&#8221; where she revealed that her daughter was born deaf and with a cleft palate. (Both conditions were corrected by surgery during infancy.) Since her appearance on &#8220;Parenting Countdown,&#8221; Passante has occasionally used her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CFcbruMByyN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0to share Jordan&#8217;s public statements on disability rights and to help promote &#8220;The Capables,&#8221; Jordan&#8217;s children&#8217;s book series.<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-article\">\n<h2 class=\"\">Her fight with Hashimoto&#8217;s Disease<\/h2>\n<div class=\"slide-key image-holder gallery-image-holder credit-image-wrap \" data-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/668436\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now\/\" data-post-title=\"Here's what Brandi Passante from Storage Wars is doing now\" data-slide-num=\"8\" data-post-id=\"668436\"><picture id=\"p57c7a34a3bf634490e7d8e0824233dd3\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/img\/gallery\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now-upgrade\/her-fight-with-hashimotos-disease-1659468161.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 429px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/img\/gallery\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now-upgrade\/her-fight-with-hashimotos-disease-1659468161.sm.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(max-width: 428px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/img\/gallery\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now-upgrade\/her-fight-with-hashimotos-disease-1659468161.jpg\" alt=\"Brandi Passante flashes a thumbs-up\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.grunge.com\/668436\/heres-what-brandi-passante-from-storage-wars-is-doing-now\/\" data-post-id=\"668436\" data-slide-num=\"8\" data-slide-title=\"Here's what Brandi Passante from Storage Wars is doing now: Her fight with Hashimoto's Disease\" \/><\/picture><span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Albert L.

She hasn&#8217;t been shy in publicly responding to trolls, creeps, and silly questions sent her way through private messages on Instagram. But in 2022, Passante gave an earnest answer when someone asked why her voice sounded raspy on recently published videos. In an Instagram story, according to Outsider, Passante shared a screenshot of the question with the answer written over it: &#8220;I have Hashimoto&#8217;s Disease. An auto-immune disease that affects my thyroid. Sometimes, it makes my throat raspy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hashimoto&#8217;s disease, also known as Hashimoto&#8217;s thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thyroid.org\/hashimotos-thyroiditis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Thyroid Association<\/a>, causes inflammation of the thyroid. It&#8217;s slow to develop and has no unique symptoms, but can eventually lead to hyperthyroidism, with fatigue, increased temperature sensitivity, weight gain, and the effect on the voice noticed by Passante&#8217;s questioner. Hashimoto&#8217;s disease is America&#8217;s leading cause of hyperthyroidism, but may be mild enough not to require medication and can be managed with levothyroxine otherwise.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Correction 09\/19\/22: A previous version of this story stated that Brandi Passante had a tattoo on her index finger.
