Gibson is on probation for a fight that happened when she was in high school. The 21-year-old wife and mother says she took part in the show Bridezilla's as a way to fulfill her life long dream of acting, and as a way to pay for her wedding. Family members say the woman shown on television is not who Karee truly is.

Gibson is in jail, because her probation officers feels her out of control behavior on the show is a violation of her probation.

Gibson's attorney Alan Eisenberg has filed an emergency petition for her release. Eisenberg said, "If you want to discipline somebody you don't have to lock them up there has to be a justification for taking away somebody's freedom and that have not explained any to me not any."
