TAMPA, FL (WFLA) – Angel Brown is internationally infamous, but she is barely aware of why.
In April 2010, a call came into the News Channel 8 newsroom about a woman living in a single motel room with a number of children.
When a reporter and photographer showed up to check out the story, Angel angrily looked into the camera and demanded, “Somebody needs to pay for all of this!”
News Channel 8 reports about the Tampa mother and her children were uploaded to YouTube and have now been viewed millions of times.
Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh singled out Angel Adams as the face of what is wrong with the American welfare system, in their opinion.
Brown says she doesn’t care that people have expressed hate about her across the country.
“I don’t care, they don’t know me,” said Brown.
Brown doesn’t own a computer and doesn’t care that people have viewed and commented on her story millions of times
In 2010, Brown, then known as Angel Adams, had 15 biological children, and 12 of them were living with her in the motel room.
The Department of Children and Families stepped in and found Brown and her children a new home.
She has been in and out of court several times since then and has lost and then regained custody of her children.
Now, Angel Adams is married to Eric Brown and has a total of 17 biological children.
Twelve of the children live with the Brown’s and they are in trouble again, facing eviction and in court.
The Tampa Housing Authority pays their rent, but because of maintenance problems at the house, the housing authority has not paid rent to the landlord for three months.
The landlord has filed a notice of eviction and has informed the court they intend to make repairs to the home and resell it and they do not accept “Section 8,” or government assisted rent, from their tenants.
