Brandy Cienkowski (scroll to the bottom for an update)

It is confirmed…Joe Cienkowski has officially lost his freakin mind!!! He has the balls to come over to my parents house and put a “club” on the steering wheel of the Jeep….he is a freakin looney! Guess I will have to call a locksmith and have them bill him through the divorce to get it off. He apparently must have got served with the divorce papers…they do not put paint him in a favorable light.


.I just found out today that Joe has not only been arrested once in early January for battery against my daughter’s 16 year old boyfriend and now….get ready…..he got arrested AGAIN on Febuary 9th for criminal trespass!!!!  

I can’t believe he has put that as his status! He is totally losing it! I will post my response to Alex from my FB page: Yeah…I know…I am evil…and did you know that I am now an Atheist and that the Atheists have taken me over!!! He …has called me at the same time the past two nights to “preach” and “badger” me for 45 minutes…I asked him if once I move this weekend if he would call me at the same time out on the Oregon Coast just for fun! I caught him in some crazy ass lies…I think he is literally having a breakdown…he just rattles on and on and on about a bunch of jibberish, none of it makes any sense.

Do those posts read as the kind of thing someone about to return to their husband would write? They’re all from the ‘Joe Cienkowski Discussion Group‘ on Facebook, and they’re all written (supposedly) by his wife, Brandy. Brandy had finally had enough of Joe, his bullshit creationist ideas, his letching after other women on twitter, his endless alleged pot smoking, and was moving to Oregon to start a new life. 

Not pictured: A good husband

Brandy started talking extensively with various people on Twitter and Facebook, explaining the nonsense she’d had to put up with from Joe, his numerous personal failings, and how she couldn’t wait to get away from him. Then…..silence.

The day before she was supposed to be moving, Brandy suddenly stopped tweeting, or replying to people on Facebook. Her last post was the first quoted at the top of this entry, telling the world how Joe had put a club on her jeep to prevent her leaving, and that he’d ‘lost his freakin’ mind!’

After a few days of silence Joe, posing for some unknown and utterly bizarre reason, as a High School age Jugallo called Ethan Sparks, claimed that Brandy had been in intensive care for a few days, and that they were now back together. Sure enough Joe (using his own twitter account) was rejoicing a few days later that they were ‘reconciled’.

Understandably several people who Brandy had been in contact with immediately requested to hear from Brandy herself. The attitude seemed to be that, so long as Brandy was ok, no-one would be judging her for what seemed like a complete 180 degree turnaround from her previous position.

A month passed, and the only word from Brandy was the following post on Facebook – 

you show (or highlighting) a total misunderstanding of the OT law, and NT grace- since the Lord walked the earth

…it reads exactly like one of Joe’s tweets. In fact I’m willing to bet that he accidentally posted it from something like Tweetdeck, or another client where you can manage several accounts simultaneously.

This caused concern amongst Brandy’s online friends, Joe was clearly in control of her Facebook account. These concerns only deepened when her real life friends started commenting on Facebook that she wasn’t returning texts, or had cancelled plans without contacting them. 


More than a month after Brandy was finalising the divorce and making the arrangements to move away to a new life, there has been no word from her. Repeated requests to Joe on twitter to confirm she’s ok fell on deaf ears.

8 days ago Joe’s twitter feed went silent as well, which is unprecedented for him. Now, it’s entirely possible that the no-good unemployed stoner finally had his internet cut off altogether – after all, his website has been down for a couple of months due to unpaid hosting bills (Brandy was paying for it, which makes the lack of it’s return after her supposed reconciliation suspicious in itself)


Several twitter users have been concerned enough to have contacted the Granite City (their home town) police, but have had no response. Today @movingtomontana has started the #isbrandyok hashtag, and is encouraging retweets from the great and good of twitter. 


Of course, it is entirely possible that Joe and Brandy HAVE reconciled and, if that’s the case, I hope they’re happy and healthy, but there has been no evidence to support this in the last month. 


If Brandy is ok then Joe needs to take urgent action – the rumour mills are already churning out various theories, with the most extreme suggesting that Joe is holding Brandy against her will, or has maybe even harmed her. These things can rapidly spiral out of control, and silence from the relevant parties does nothing to stem the ever rising flow of guesses as to what has happened.


I don’t think it’ll be too long before we find out what has really happened. 

UPDATE!!

I rang the number people had found from the eBay listing.

Short version? She sounded fine. Annoyed to be called by her tone of voice, and I didn’t get chance to tell her before she angrily hung up that popping online to tell everyone she was ok would be a good idea considering the amount of speculation going on across the internet about her wellbeing.

So, she’s ok. I feel sorry for her having to put up with Joe Cienkowski, but he hasn’t harmed her. Hopefully he’ll be a better husband than he has been, and maybe he’ll curb some of his more excessing endless tweeting ways.

At least this story has a happy (ish) ending.
