Everyone is talking about ‘Don’t Date Brandon’. So what is it?

Don’t Date Brandon has social media in a chokehold. But, some people online are wondering who we’re all talking about. Not to mention the question of why we shouldn’t be dating that man. Well, the story of Brandon Johnson is a difficult one to tell, but we’re here to break down the basics for you. All of this will make your social media sleuthing a little bit easier. Because, once you hear about Don’t Date Brandon, you will probably run to actually watch the documentary.

He was basically with two different women at once, and that kind of double-life drama always draws some eyeballs.

But, does it scratch an itch for a tremendous number of people? You know it.
