Deon Derrico sues business partner to block home sale in Nevada
Deon Derrico asked a Nevada judge to halt a home sale, saying he owns 25% of the property and could be harmed if it closes first.
Deon Derrico has filed suit in Nevada to stop a business partner from selling a home the two men co-own while their ownership fight remains unresolved. The filing, entered May 15, 2026, in Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court, says Derrico owns a 25% stake and must approve any sale before the property changes hands.
The defendant is Tyrone Sprewell, and Derrico is asking a judge to block the transaction for now. In the court filing, Derrico argues that if the house is sold before the dispute is settled, he could suffer irreparable harm. The case turns on a basic question of control: whether Sprewell can move ahead with unloading the property without Derrico’s sign-off.
The lawsuit adds another legal front for the father of 14, whose public profile grew through TLC’s Doubling Down With the Derricos. The series premiered in August 2020 and followed Deon and Karen Derrico as they raised four sets of multiples, including quintuplets and triplets. Deon and Karen confirmed their divorce in June 2024 after about two decades of marriage, and at the time said they remained unified in parenting their children.
Deon has since described coparenting the 14 children as his top priority. He also has been associated with real estate investing and later took work as a school bus driver, underscoring the financial pressure that can follow reality-TV fame once the cameras stop rolling. The new property dispute shows how those side businesses can become high-stakes, especially when ownership is informal and one partner wants out before the other does.
The filing also lands as Derrico faces other personal and legal turmoil tied to the breakup of his marriage. Karen Derrico was arrested in June 2026 on allegations that she threatened to kill Deon and their children, adding to the strain around the family’s post-divorce life. For Deon Derrico, the Nevada case is now the latest test of how quickly a shared asset can turn into a courtroom battle when the rules of ownership are not settled in advance.
