Gabby’s friend Rose Davis speaks out about ‘problematic’ relationship

Gabby Petito’s best friend Rose Davis claims Brian Laundrie had jealousy and control issues and even stole her ID once to stop her from going dancing at a bar and made her delete a tracking app so her pal could always locate her

Gabby Petito’s friend has said that Brian Laundrie was “controlling” towards his fiancée.

Rose Davis told the Daily Mail that 23-year-old Laundrie was a jealous partner to Gabby, and that their relationship had become “more problematic” as time went on.

She said that he once took Gabby’s ID so she couldn’t go out with Rose to a line-dancing event.

Rose told the Mail that Gabby returned home and confronted him, and that he then admitted to taking her ID.

She added: “She was so hysterical. She told me she slapped him and said something about him pushing her.

“She was holding back. I told her you need to tell me the deep of what happened and she just wouldn’t.”

‘He’s got these jealousy issues and he struggles from what Gabby called these “episodes,” where he would hear things and hear voices and wouldn’t sleep.

‘Gabby had to stay at my house a bunch of times because she just needed a breather and didn’t want to go home to him.’ 

Laundrie, who was traveling with Gabby out west while filming their adventures for a ‘van-life’ YouTube channel she was creating, returned home to Florida alone on September 1.
