Alaskan Bush People star Noah Brown’s estranged wife Rhain Brown has been granted a temporary civil protection order against him, Us can exclusively confirm.
In her August 20 petition, Rhain, 35, accused Noah, 34, of years of physical and sexual abuse, psychological manipulation and coercive control during their marriage. She also alleged that his recent behavior had become increasingly intimidating, culminating in an August 1 confrontation at her home during which she claimed he tried to steal a trailer and threatened her boyfriend with a tire iron.
“I’ve suffered at the hand of my husband for numerous years and have not been able to come forward until now,” Rhain alleged in court documents. “Noah Brown has not only physically abused me and sexually abused me, but has committed years of unchecked psychological manipulation and coercive control at the most extreme levels.”
The temporary order was approved by the court the same day Rhain filed her petition. The allegations have not been proven in court. Us has reached out to Rhain and Noah’s lawyers for comment.
According to Rhain, the August 1 confrontation began when she returned home and allegedly found Noah, his girlfriend and two of his siblings attempting to remove a trailer from her property. Rhain claimed the trailer was protected under an existing temporary restraining order in their divorce and that she had previously told Noah he was no longer permitted at her residence.
“I witnessed the kids shivering in the night in the chaos,” she said in court documents of their sons, Elijah, 7, and Adam, 4. “I quickly called 911 for help [as] I had on many occasions told Noah he is no longer allowed at my residence, and he has repeatedly ignored me.”
“At this point, I was extremely afraid for my safety and the safety of my children to have been placed in this situation. I truly believe that Noah would’ve gotten physically aggressive if he had not seen that I was on a call with the police,” she continued. “Prior to my call, my boyfriend was threatened by Noah brandishing an unidentified weapon in the dark and yelling at him before we got our cameras rolling. It was later identified as a tire iron.”
“I was terrified for the life of my boyfriend, my kids and myself in a way I have never felt before and that lasted roughly 15 seconds while Noah commanded my boyfriend to stay out of this and this had nothing to do with him before Noah stepped into the light and we could see it was a tire iron,” Rhain added. “Seeing that I was on the phone with police and recording him, and telling him on video that he was not allowed to be here, [Noah] peeled out, causing field damage and throwing rocks with his truck tires.
“This incident shows a complete breakdown and invasion of personal safety. It shows all the lines he’s willing to cross just to get what he wants. It shows all the ways he’s willing to ignore the law, ignore my right to a peaceful home, and put his own children in harm’s way. It shows Noah Brown‘s complete disregard of my autonomy, exactly like how he used to treat me while we were married.”
Among the disturbing claims, Rhain also alleged that she was raped during their marriage but did not report it.
Rhain claimed she sought medical treatment in September 2024 after experiencing concerning symptoms and pain that she attributed to the allegedly “violent” and “unwanted nature” of their intimate relationship.
“The coercive control finally broke open enough on September 3, 2024, just before our separation that I had to seek help,” she claimed. “For my safety, because of the situation I was in at home, I did not report this as rape, but it was. I was seen three days later for an ultrasound to rule out any other causes, none were found.”
She added in the filing: “I lived in such fear of the repercussions of attempting to seek help that I did not believe that my physical health outweighed my mental safety until it went too far.”
Rhain further alleged that during the relationship she was not allowed to go to a doctor’s appointment without Noah’s permission and the doctor had to be a woman: “Even if the doctor and the nurses were all girls, if I went alone, I was berated and barraged with accusations of infidelity. These countless, horrible, scary, fear-causing events, lead me to redesign my entire life,” she claimed, adding that she has lived a “guarded and scared life.”
“I stopped going to any doctor or dentist, unless Noah went with me, just to avoid the trauma of the abuse back at home… He controlled me in such a way that I myself chose not to seek help.”
Rhain also alleged that she is afraid of how her estranged husband will react to the civil protection order, which means he must stay within 1000 feet away from Rhain and their children, except during exchanges and following parenting plan guidelines.
“It wasn’t until I asked for a separation two years ago that I was able to seek help in understanding what had transpired behind closed doors all this time. Even upon separation, when my lawyer asked if I wanted a protection order then, I believed that I wasn’t safe enough to ask for one because I am afraid of how Noah Brown will retaliate.”
Rhain, who at the time of the court filing was pregnant with her third child and due within weeks, claims she fears for her safety as a result of Noah’s alleged intimidating and “escalating behavior,” and asked the court if there is somewhere safe for her to stay in case he or his followers retaliate.
“Even after two years of separation, I still run every decision through a ‘what will Noah do?’ filter. I am afraid of his retaliation, I am afraid of his continued lies he is spreading about me, I am afraid of his family coming after me with their overwhelming numbers,” she claimed in the filing, adding that the “mental anguish” has led her to develop Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
“I am afraid that my further safety relies heavily on whether or not this protection order can be implemented,” she claimed in the docs. “I plead for help. I plead for protection for myself and my children. I am requesting a protection order against my husband… to protect myself, my children, my pets and my life.”
The court tried to serve Noah several times in person until he was finally served with the temporary order against him via email. The order remains in place until the pair’s next court hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, September 22.
Noah and Rhain announced via TikTok in January 2025 that they had separated after nearly seven years of marriage. Later that year in October, Rhain filed for divorce and since then the exes have found themselves in an ongoing and contentious legal dispute.
