Storage Wars has had many cast changes over the years, but Brandi Passante has remained one of the most well-known faces on the show. ATV Insider article published in July 2025 looked back at the time she briefly left the show in 2014 and how she later came back.

In 2014, she stepped away for a short time to work on a different project, but she returned to Storage Wars after that.
The article explained that even during her short break, Passante was still seen as a main part of the show. Her time away was because of a spinoff series that only lasted one season. After that show ended, she came back to Storage Wars and stayed on as one of the regular buyers.
