Anna Drops a Shocking Bombshell: What Truly Happened at Liz & Brice’s Wedding | 7 Little Johnstons
The stars of 7 Little Johnstons came together last week to celebrate the wedding of Liz Johnston and Brice Bolden— well, most of them, anyway.
As The Ashley previously reported, Liz married her longtime boyfriend Brice at the Johnston family home in Georgia on November 8. As family members began to post photos from the wedding, fans noticed one person who appeared to be absent from the festivities: Elizabeth’s older sister, Anna Johnston.
Anna confirmed on a livestream this week that she did not attend her estranged sister’s wedding. She listed other family members who also skipped the event, commenting, “My cousin Ella didn’t go, my cousin Carrington didn’t go…”
During the livestream, Anna stated that she would have attended the wedding if she had been invited. (She said that she attended a friend’s gender reveal party on the day of Liz and Brice’s wedding.)
On TikTok, however, Anna claimed that she didn’t get to make the decision herself on whether or not to attend the wedding.
“So were you invited?!” a fan asked Anna in the comment section of one of her recent posts on TikTok.
“NO,” Anna replied firmly.
Liz has not yet responded to fans’ comments left on social media asking why Anna was absent from the wedding. (All the other Johnston siblings were present, with brothers Jonah and Alex serving as groomsmen and sister Emma as a bridesmaid.)
On a recent episode of “7 Little Johnsons,” Anna spoke to her siblings Alex and Emma about the strained relationship the family has with her.
“This is always put on me,” she said. “It’s always looked at [like] I’m the bad person, I’m the bad person. But y’all have a phone. Y’all can text me, y’all can talk to me. Y’all are always welcome in my house. Just shoot me a text…”
When her siblings expressed their desire for Anna to “bury the hatchet” with their mom and dad, Anna stated that she wanted that as well, but reminded them that their parents refuse to forgive her as well.
In the weeks leading up to Elizabeth’s nuptials, fans had speculated about Anna’s involvement, if any, especially amidst the feud being documented on the show’s current season. Anna had begun separating from her family, particularly parents Amber and Trent Johnston, after a fight over a borrowed graduation gown, which she explained in this season’s premiere episode.
“My parents got mad at me because I took [older brother] Jonah’s graduation gown, and I didn’t tell them,” Anna stated. “And they got mad because I didn’t take graduation photos with them. It just kept getting worse and worse, which led to me not even wanting to come around.”
Prior to filming this season (which shows events from about one year ago), Anna said she had “taken the summer off” from seeing her family, but that rift has seemingly continued into the present day.
Anna has also distanced herself from promoting the show’s 16th season, refraining from reposting any trailers or sneak peeks for upcoming episodes. She even commented on one of TLC’s Instagram posts promoting the show’s premiere writing, “So it’s still called ‘7’ or ‘6’?”, implying that the show’s title is not fit due to her exclusion from the family.
Anna’s comment garnered plenty of responses from fans who seemed to be siding with her.
“Right! Like why weren’t you included in this?” one person responded to Anna’s comment about the (cringy) family dance post.
“You’re the only one I care to see because you’re real and not fake,” someone else wrote to Anna. “I’m so sorry your family treats you how they do…”
Photos posted from the wedding day show a TLC camera crew filming the event for the upcoming season of the show.
“7 Little Johnstons” airs Tuesdays on TLC.
