Joshua Allen's Girlfriend Details Viral Funeral Altercation, Disputes 'Ex' Label

Her on-the-record account challenges social-media claims, faulting the system's response to his mental-health struggles.

Overview

  • Dy'Zetta Brown says she was invited to the November 8 service and was grabbed from behind at the open casket by a woman she identifies as an aunt on Allen’s maternal side.
  • Police were called to the Fort Worth funeral twice, and Brown says officers allowed her to remain after relatives told them she previously had a protective order.
  • Brown acknowledges a 90-day emergency protective order earlier this year, saying it stemmed from mental-health incidents and that she sought help rather than arrest for Allen.
  • She says she contacted Allen’s probation officer three days before his death and was told to record him so he could be sent back to jail.
  • Brown maintains they were together nearly four years and still a couple at the time of his death, as both she and Allen’s father, Eddie Powell, cite his ongoing mental-health struggles.
