On April 24, 2012, Senser testified in her stepmother Amy Senser's trial for the criminal vehicular homicide of Minneapolis chef Anousone Phanthavong. According to Brittani Senser's testimony, Amy Senser only publicly admitted to having driven the Mercedes-Benz which struck and killed Phanthavong (as he filled his stalled vehicle with gasoline on the side of the Riverside exit off of Interstate 94) after Brittani Senser was mentioned as a potential suspect. [3]

She had a child named Aria Burch Senser in 2005. Aria Joy "Buggy" Burch-Senser died from suicide on February 6, 2019, according to an obituary in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
