‘American Pickers’ Star Returns To Social Media After Family Health Scare
Danielle Colby made a rare social media appearance after a family health scare! The American Pickers star, who has grown a fan following through her burlesque performances and “spicy” content, had canceled her appearance at an adult variety show, Dr. Lucky’s Blue Review, back in December 2024, owing her decision to a family member’s declining health.
The “Queen of Rust” shared a post on her Instagram on January 18, 2025, alongside her boyfriend Jeremy Scheuch. The duo posed in front of a beach, filling the caption with an array of fun emojis stating, “Today we are tending our garden.” The caption also included a quote from Dr. Bruce Lipton that detailed how consciousness has the power that will push one to change themselves and the planet. The quote ends on a philosophical note:
“It is time we heed the wisdom of the ancient indigenous people and channel our consciousness and spirit to tend the garden and not destroy it.”
On December 9, 2024, Colby announced on her Instagram that she would be canceling her appearance on the adult reality show as well as all future burlesque performances “for the foreseeable future.” The American Pickers star shared that she has had to deal with some serious health issues within her family. She clarified that she wasn’t talking about her health, but a family member’s. The reality TV star further stated that she would not be traveling for performances, and the only traveling she would be doing would be to shoot for American Pickers.
