Drama Erupts In Carol Burnett’s Guardianship Battle Over Addict Daughter’s Son

As family drama unfolded, legendary comedian Carol Burnett was in court earlier this year. Burnett and her husband, Brian Miller, filed a petition in 2022 to be appointed temporary guardians of their 14-year-old grandson as their daughter Erin Hamilton suffers from addiction issues.

In the filing, Burnett revealed that Erin had threatened to take her own life and was placed on a 5150 hold by police. Burnett and Miller filed the petition to provide their grandson with a more stable, predictable, and healthy environment. The couple was granted temporary guardianship of their grandson; however, they later asked the court to allow Jodi Pais Montgomery to fill the role, which was granted. Montgomery previously worked as Britney Spears’s co-conservator.
