Jake & Josh Harris Cornelia Marie Deadliest Catch People Magazine

I just ran across some information on Jake and Josh Harris of the Cornelia Marie in an article in People Magazine. I don't know when the article was published, but it had some interesting tidbits I thought I would share.

Jake did make it into rehab, shortly after the DUI incident for addiction to prescription pain medication, which he said he took because of sport and fishing injuries.  He spent a month and a half in rehab. Like I said I don't know when the article was published so I don't know how this times out with the Captain of the Cornelia Marie, Derrick Ray, calling the police on Jake in November 2010.  (Can find more on Derrick Ray incident in previous post)

While Jake was working on recovery, Josh was working on keeping the Cornelia Marie running. When Josh was finally able to take a break and grieve for his father, he said he had a nervous breakdown. Said his emotions were all over the place, even seeing a dog wagging its tail on TV would make him cry. He spent three weeks driving around Florida to clear his head.

Deadliest Catch 7 - 2011 - Hillstrands and Hansens Return

There is news here but I don't think any of it is real spoilers... so safe to read.

Some of you may have heard there was a legal dispute between Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand with The Discovery Channel, and they were not returning to the show.

Well here's the scoop. In October, 2010 it was reported that The Discovery Channel sued the Hillstrands for $3 million for failing to finish work on a spin off show called "Hillstranded".  The Hillstrands counter sued saying that the lawsuit would force them to sell their boat, so they quit the show. To show support of the Hillstrands, Sig Hansen also quit the show. Go Sig!
