Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird has been embroiled in fresh drama after her ex-husband, Josh Efird, discovered she is dating his cousin, Darrin Kitchens. This realization prompted Josh to pack his belongings and move out, leaving behind a scathing note.
In a first look shared with PEOPLE from the July 29 episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, Josh stated, “I called my mom and asked her to come get the kids because I don’t want the kids to see me packing.”
The emotional video shows the father of four—Ella Grace, Bentley Jameson, and twins Stella and Sylus, whom he shares with ex-wife Lauryn—walking through the house to gather his belongings in a black trash bag.
“I’ve never felt this sick to my stomach. But through all the anger and hurt, I look around the house and just flashes of some of the best moments of my life,” he remarked.
Just before departing the house, Josh took out a pen and paper to write a note for his ex-wife and the mother of his children. He scribbled, “I can’t believe you’ve been lying to me. All the years wasted just for you to go see someone. I’m packing my s**** and I’m gone.”
Notably, Lauryn filed for divorce in August 2024 after six years of marriage. The May 30 episode of Mama June: Family Crisis season 7 had previously shown the couple facing marital issues and attending counseling sessions.
It’s important to mention that the divorce was finalized in September 2024, and both parents share equal custody of their children.
