She talked about how she is only trying to help him, that she loves him no matter what, and wanted him to go to the hospital to ask for help. Shawn talked about his childhood, she said that he was a troubled teenager, so she and his father sent him to a therapist to help him with his behavior.
At that time, his father married his present wife Tammy Collins, and Kerrion was living with them and his step-sister Carrington, and his sister and brother from father’s side, Kennedy and Caziah.
Kerrion attended a local high school, and upon matriculating in 2006, didn’t enroll at college.

What happened between Kerrion and his family?
In March 2021, Kerrion uploaded on social media audio a secretly recorded ‘phone call which he had with his father Kirk, in which they were arguing, and in one moment Kirk said:’ I will break your neck ni***, don’t you ever disrespect me!’, and Kerrion said: ‘I didn’t’.

Kerrion posted the audio with the description: ‘Hanging up in my face, No apology, no compassion, no effort. Stop telling me to go home to my family I don’t even know where they live. I don’t think I’ll ever trust my father to be alone around him ever again. I didn’t want to do this…’
It’s assumed that Kerrion was asking for money from Kirk, which he didn’t want to give him, and it seems that this wasn’t the first time; there were rumors that Kirk kicked him out of the family house because he was taking money to buy drugs.
After the audio was released, Kirk apologized to his fans for his language and the curses he uttered; when he was on the “Tamron Hall” show, he said that his close friends and associates have been aware of the problems and the challenges which his family is going through with his firstborn son, Kerrion.
Also, Kerrion’s mother Shawn spoke about all the problems that she had with her son, and she supported her ex-boyfriend Kirk, saying that the two of them were trying to prove to Kerrion that they love him, and that they care for him.
After a few months, on 12 September 2021, Kerrion filmed an Instagram Livestream video in which he said that his mother assaulted him. ‘I’m being abused right now. I’m being assaulted by my own mother.’ he said, while his mother and another unknown woman were standing on the porch, and kept telling him to get dressed. He was saying ‘They trying to take me to some hospital’, while his mother told him that he’s always looking for attention.
She was saying that when he was talking about his sexual orientation, he was just trying to get some attention and some space in the media; Kerrion stated that he has been in relationships with some men and women and that he gets messages every day in his DM on Instagram, in which they offer him sex, love, and money for having sex with him. He hasn’t spoken their names, and hasn’t confirmed whether or not he accepted their offers.
After all of this happened, the public supported Kirk, and most of them seem to believe that the problem is in Kerrion, various assumptions with people saying that he’s a drug addict, that he may have some mental illness, or maybe he is just not capable of behaving like an adult.
