Kirk Franklin’s estranged son and star of the Zeus Network show Bad Boys of LA, Kerrion Franklin just walked out of an Orange County jail that he had been transferred to on May 25th. He had been behind bars since April 10th when he was found to be driving a car belonging to a missing woman presumed to be dead. A gun was found in the car and he insisted neither the murder or the gun had anything to do with him. At the time he claimed he had been wrongly taken into custody and all this had to do with 15 year old warrants he knew nothing about.
Kerrion quoted scripture in his announcement of being home saying, “James Chapter 1:2-4 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it all great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
He continued giving thanks to his parents adding, “PS #LosersLoveRumors #Shoutout 222 the Real #TeamKerrion #Shoutout My Mother & My Father & My Lighthouse @keetwit thank you for the prayers & the wind the most High is moving me in.”
He finished saying he still has one case left, writing “The journey is not over yet 1 more case left to handle tho freely here ii am out of jail. A lot of talk but Today the King walks #ChessLord #waitfortheVerdict”

When this was first reported he expressed feeling like powers outside of his control were making these things happen to him.
He expressed back in April in a jail interview with Larry Reid, “I know that my circle is-my inner circle is changing. It’s been a lot of interesting things going on. I’ve been communicating with my pastor for the past couple of weeks about just different things thats been happening around me. Feeling like I’m being set-up, feeling like people is tryna catch me doing wrong.”
He added, “Put me in a position where I can be judged and, you know what I’m saying? Arrested like, this is unfortunate to see how, you know, Black men in America aiming to live righteous, to live in they truth, and to stay righteous are continuously treated.”

And all of this happened over 3 misdemeanors from 2007 to include possession of alcohol under 21, falsely representing self to an officer, and possession of purported government issued California driver’s license. This also contributes to the bad boy image of being on the show of the same name. It almost comes across as a self-fulfilling prophesy. Luckily his dad wasn’t willing to just leave him out to dry but hopefully this doesn’t become the beginning of any type of a cycle. He just came out of the closet as bisexual on national television and now he’s getting arrested. He comes across pretty harmless so it would be unfortunate for these events to be the cause of him to go down the wrong road, especially with the tense relationship he has with his father. If anytime he would need him, this would be it.
He has stated that he’s learned his lessons, appreciates his blessings and just wants to deal with #NoMoreRumors.
