NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA: Nikki Garcia’s sister Brie Garcia is sharing about the difficult time the family had after her sudden split from her husband Artem Chigvintsev. 

During the latest episode of ‘The Nikki & Brie Show’ podcast, Brie admitted she’s “looked at the trauma in the face.”

"All you wanna do is help. You want it to stop, but you realize it's not your trauma, especially if you're not the one dealing with it and you're seeing someone else [deal with it]. It's not for you to fix," Brie said, referring to Chigvintsev’s arrest over an incident with Nikki at home on August 29.

Brie added about the emotional struggle of her sister over the podcast, "I have felt sadness in ways that maybe death could compare. I literally have lost sleep. I lay in my bed with my eyes open, and I think and I just think and think, and I think of so many different things..... But the major thing I think of is: How can I fix [things] and how can I help?" she said.

"If you do not take accountability of your mistakes, you will be exposed. I will let you know that. I know it. And I will say, lies will eat you up," Brie continued. 

"You're always gonna get caught. No one ever runs away free without getting caught. Right? Lies will not only personally eat you up, but in the end, they'll always expose you. And you have to remember that," she further explained.
