Hunter Tylo detailed the disintegration of her friendship with Kimberly Brown in her book in the late 1990s. Tylo said while she was fighting for the custody of her sons custody of their two sons Brown and her husband reportedly sided with Michael, which infuriated Hunter.
While the two continued to work together, they reportedly began to clash on The Bold and the beautiful set. Both women even alleged unsafe working environments. Tylo said their feud turned so ugly that Kimberly Brown hired a bodyguard for protection.
In response, Hunter Tylo said she hired a little person as a bodyguard to follow her around and ridicule Brown.
While Hunter Tylo and Brown’s friendship ended due to the latter siding with Tylo’s husband, the couple later reconciled and went on to have two more children. However, in 2005, Soap Central reported that Hunter and Michael were divorcing again.
