Love After Lockup Fans React to Kerok’s Denial of Move-In Request: “Are Y’all OK?!!”

Life After Lockup, a spin-off of Love After Lockup, explores the broader lives of inmates post-release. The fifth season kicked off with episode 41, titled Welcome Home?, released on October 4. This episode featured several couples facing challenges during their early days of freedom.

Among these couples, Kerok and Brittany were determined to forge a new path together. Both were former inmates planning to relocate from Virginia to Texas in search of better opportunities. However, in episode 41, they discovered they were unable to move states without prior permission.

Feeling discouraged, Kerok and Brittany attempted to communicate with officials to find a solution, only to learn that they needed special permission beforehand. Fans of Love After Lockup took to X to express their frustration over the state denying Kerok’s request to move. Many viewers felt that seeking approval should have been the couple’s initial step in the relocation process.

“Kerok & Brittany packing up to move & his parole hasn’t even been approved for the transfer is crazy…. Are ya’ll OK?!!”said one fan.

“Kerok why would you make all these arrangements based on an assumption??? What’s not clicking????”said another.

“Kerok, done packed up the whole family AND quit the job? This is crazy. Who does this without verifying they’re approved,”a user added.

“Why Kerok and Brittany dumb *sses try to move out of state knowing they didn’t have approval to do so?”another fan said.

Many fans expressed their disbelief and disappointment in Kerok and Brittany’s decision to attempt a move without verifying the requirement for a permit. Some viewers were particularly shocked to witness the couple discovering the need for approval while en route to Texas.

“These fools Kerok and Brittany in the car… on the way to Texas…. when they find out she has no approval to move TO TEXAS?”an X user wrote.

“Note to self: DO NOT HIRE KEROK AS YOUR MOVER!”another X user wrote.

“I was feeling bad for Kerok, but you made all these plans and didn’t have approval. That’s on you, boo!” a comment read.

“So Kerok has no common sense. He’s hollering at the PO like he has no damn sense. Quit his job, packing up and says there’s no reason they should get denied. That’s *ss backwards. You get permission first,”another fan wrote.

What happened with Kerok and Brittany in episode 41 of Love After Lockup season 5?

In episode 41 of Love After Lockup season 5, Kerok was seen on the phone in Richmond, Virginia, speaking with an official, who informed him that the state had the authority to approve or deny his relocation. At that moment, they confirmed that Kerok and Brittany were not permitted to travel or move to Texas.

Kerok argued that he had already packed up his family, quit his job, and was ready to relocate. The officer clarified that such steps should not have been taken without prior approval. Kerok maintained that he didn’t believe there was any reason for a denial.

Brittany entered the conversation while Kerok was still on the phone, seeking clarification. After hearing the officer’s explanation, the couple learned that they would receive a request from their parole officer to expedite their move to Texas, a process that could take up to 30 days. Concerned about their timeline, Brittany insisted on speaking directly with the officer.

Brittany explained their urgent need to leave their current residence, emphasizing that they couldn’t afford to wait 30 days or they would be homeless. The official subsequently offered them a government-funded motel room until their permit was granted. Kerok expressed his feelings of failure for not being able to provide and protect his family.

For those interested, new episodes of Love After Lockup season 5 air every Friday at 8 PM ET on WeTV.
