I am utterly charmed by your unique spin on the Scentbird sponsorship. 😊
Tangent - I just want to sing the praises of that Christian Siriano fragrance. I'm not a big fashion person, but I've always loved his work, and I adore Ooh La Rouge! It's a combination I've never smelled before and is unique and sophisticated without doing too much. Even if it's not your favorite, I have to imagine it's a nice choice for every/anyone.
Loved your take on Scentbird! Best pitch yet!
I'm sorry, but a grown man, in a serious situation that is being broadcast worldwide, is dressed like a character in a nickelodeon show. That, combined with his overly animated performance is beyond me. It's gross.
His outfit just SCREAMS: "How do you do, fellow kids?"
He's gay.
That reaction seemed to be written all over Natalia's face.😅
He tried to dress up the last time but the bishop stressed him out 😂 so he probably figured WTH lol..And of course we all know how " cool" he thinks he is too...😂
I'm okay with Logan's Scentbird ad read
The way Michael referrs to Kristine as "the monster" and "Evil" has the same dramatics as Tiger King calling Carole Baskins "that bitch".
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 that's a great comparison
How dare you besmirch the good name of Joe Exotic by comparing him to Michael Barnett?
@@occamtherazor3201 🤣 right! I'm not a Joe Exotic fan, but he's easier to watch than Michael Barnett!!
THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Michael really made me mad this time. “I’m not going to talk about this because it’s too hard of a subject”?! HOW DO YOU THINK SHE FEELS?! This is HER life, HER trauma, HER history. And to deprive her of the “hard” answers that she deserves is honesty just despicable.
Im no doctor, however he is a narcissist and possibly a high functioning autistic person. Michael lacks social cues and self awareness. Maybe is someone knocked some common sense into him, he would develop a little bit of empathy and self awareness.
He's such a performative POS
Right, plus isn’t that the point of this meeting up?!
I KNOW RIGHT! Like why agree to the interview about the situation if you don't want to talk about the situation?! He's so aggravating.
💯 Narcissistic
She asks a very important question, directly to Michael about if it was his decision to change her age. He immediately ignores her, asks production, didn't you tell her we wouldn't be talking about that and leaves the room. What a child!
Same thing with his outfit. Doesn't exactly scream adult.
Because he knows he was the one to do it and that question meant he couldn't play the victim without directly and blatantly lying on camera.
I thought that same thing, that one of them was acting like a mature adult, and it wasn’t him!
His lawyer told him which subject to draw red lines in front of. He still has the potential to be sued by her, and he doesn't want to be on camera admitting that he wronged her.
He basically said nothing this entire meeting...took zero accountability and has nothing but excuses.
It's unfortunate but they shouldn't meet again cause it's going nowhere.
💯 he’s protecting himself from a possible lawsuit, he belongs in jail
I haven't followed this story much but the guy comes across like he is doing an improv acting class & really failing at it
The whole story of Natalia Grace is horrific. I lived right down the street from her apartment and had no clue this kind of evil was happening in my own home town. I pray she receives justice the right way. He is sooo guilty. He’s the monster he’s referring too. What a sick sick man.
So your one of the "white trash" neighbors his wife spoke of! If only they could come to realize that in reality, there is no one trashier than the 2 of them!
I truly hope that now they have her real age that they can go back and file child abuse charges
@@susiecraddock3147they can’t because of double jeopardy.
How many comments have you mentioned that in 🙄, nobody cares.
Actually she is manipulative and she has made the people adopt her now not want her and she is attacking them. You didnt see the document clearly
I feel like is trying to act as a innocent kid himself, the way he dress the dramatic story telling, he's basically saying we were both kids controlled by evil
What a luxury for him to have the choice to ignore or refuse to hear all the barbaric abuse Natalia went through. She doesn't get the choice!! She has to live every day with the trauma of it all. Besides, he knows damned well what happened because he was there and complicit. Outright banning the subject of the re-aging is a massive red flag to me. Monster.
I don't think he was complicit. I think he was absolutely a perpetrator.
Michael is giving “monster” energy himself tbh. Love the part where he outted his entire mindset when answering a simple question. He could’ve said Christine went through with the adoption for her image/ego and left it there. Instead he went “hmmm well let me think about everything I went through and project” - nice one, we all see through that😂
Michael is making me cringe. He is one of those histrionic people that loves trying to be a victim. I have zero patience for someone trying to feed me bull.
After spending many years working with and caring for disabled adults and children I really feel a plethora of mixed emotions for Natalia. All that she’s ever known from people is varying levels of abuse, neglect and manipulation. Even her current ‘parents’ are manipulating her situation. I do indeed wonder if she will find the courage and strength to find the real Natalia and finally stand up a say this is me, I am who I am so now deal with it. She’s a very intelligent and determined young woman. I hope she finds true happiness away from all these vile manipulative leeches.💞🇬🇧
thank you for the captions!! why the hell is he dressed like that? and he seems obsessed with saying 'we have the same monster.' He's said it so many times in last video, and now here. He has definitely created these conversations in his head before hand. He thinks he's going to be nominated for an Oscar.
Omg for real, he's literally almost wearing the "How do you do, fellow kids?" Like "I'm just a lil guy, I'm the one who's hurt!" 🙄🙄🙄🤢
@@Twigaroni You nailed it. It's absolutely that outfit. a backward hat?? Every word out of his mouth he seems to think will win him an Oscar. Th dramatic pauses, the overly dramatic language. He wasn't there to talk, he was there to perform.
I’m just an innocent little boy, see?? I watch kids shows!
I don't even want to imagine how his ex, whom he wants to sell as the only monster here, has contributed to Natalya's trauma, but the guy is undoubtedly totally disturbed! If this psychotic show is his "I'm the good guy and the poor victim" mask... what kind of monster must be lurking behind it!
His facial expressions, that’s scary! It’s all fake
In the first season there’s plenty of audio of how he talked to her. Maybe he felt abused, but he was pretty quick about finding someone weaker than him to abuse to soothe his ego.
Michael always gives “guy in a very small town’s theatre ensemble who wouldn’t haven’t been casted if they had more options but who thinks he’s carrying the show on his back” 😂 the idea that anyone could see him talk and not immediately be like “oh tbis is a low low budget Off off OFF broadway” is crazy to me but not as crazy as him being like “nailed it” after each forced emotional delivery
This guy is just full of it just putting a show on for the camera 😂 how authentic
The amount of wordsalad for
michael in this video without really anything with actual substance. He is expecting her to understand his side but she was a CHILD. She does not owe hin to spare his feelings. He is an adult and all he is doing is shifting blame from himself and not taking any resposibility. His wife can be this monster but that doesn’t absolve how he treated the child.
Wow! He has the audacity to say he just wanted to walk away from a CHILD! He’s such a VILE person! I think that both he and Christine are evil. He’s the worst though! Natalia Grace had A LOT of trauma! She likely has attachment trauma and CPTSD. I don’t know how she couldn’t! 😭 Many, many people failed her! She should be compensated by the state for declaring her an adult and that doctor!
Michael makes me so angry sometimes. His ego and his need for attention and praise is so overwhelming, he can't even answer a simple question that might put him in a bad light. Not only is it unfair to Natalia because it trivializes the horrific things that happened to her, but it's insulting to all of us watching this. Does he really think that we are so stupid that we can't see through his manipulation and bs? Great analysis here and I can't wait for part 2!!
I would love to see the second half of this interaction. Michael has given me the most insincere vibes from the first episode of the first season. Part of it is that I’m always automatically more suspicious of people who are over the top, but he also just strikes me as shifty. If the full truth ever comes out, I suspect he’ll have way more that he was responsible for than any of us could fathom.
Michael is quite a character. In the first season there was a recording of him treating her pretty badly at the apartment. I can't help feeling like the stories inspired by the Orphan movie were his idea.
I'm just amazed at the fact Michael found someone willing to marry & procreate with him even if she's evil.
She’ll never get answers from Michael. At least not true ones.
The couple did the bare minimum they could to "help" or "diagnose" Natalia in the first place. They then concentrated on finding a doctor who would agree with their warped idea of what was going on with her and abandoned her. They had so many other options, including notifying the adoption agency, other child services agencies and consulting doctors expert in the particular type of dwarfism she has. It's so sickening that he is trying to act like her friend in this interview. Thank you for the analysis!
And did things to cover any SA happening to her, IMO. ‘Oh she was approaching all these men.’ ‘Oh she was having a period-and the tampon thing.’ It’s really very bad, IMO. I wonder exactly what the boys have seen and experienced and how they are doing. I hope they speak eventually, without either of their horrendous parents around.✌️♥️
Michael displays all the signs of covert narcissism. He cannot entertain the idea of any situation existing where he is not simultaneously the victim and the hero. Basically, from his perspective, he's the main character in the movie of Life, so therefor he must be the 'good guy' and entitled to the unconditional love, sympathy, and 'understanding' from all the 'side characters', no matter what he chooses to do.
💯 he is a narcissist
Exactly agree 💯
This is an overly dramatic narcissist ew I hate his expressions
I don’t think it’s at all ‘covert’ it’s very overt.
@@justkiddin84
You're right, he is. But the term 'covert narcissist' just means he's a narcissist that tries to control and manipulate people in a more roundabout way than a typical narcissist. It's the 'poor me, poor me' narcissist, rather than the 'I'm amazing I'm perfect, I'm better than everyone, I can do anything I want' - kind of narcissist. They're the same at their core, but how they go about it is different.
michael is on his way to steal amber heards award for faking emotions XD
I wonder…would Michael and Christine still be together, had they not adopted Natalia? Would he have just continued on with this shrew who, if he is telling the truth about her behavior towards Natalia, would have done awful things to his boys as well? And him? See I think Michael is completely consumed by what others think of him. And Chris might be too.
I hypothesize that M and C were in financial distress and were looking for a new hustle, that being Natalia, and her story. Christine’s “charity”. They didn’t bargain for the connection issues and probably behaviors Natalia would certainly have, or the expense her condition demanded.
Weak people care more about what society thinks than what they think of themselves. That is why we see this crazy acting fool in these interviews. He wants to communicate “hey I’m a good person”, but when he’s cornered, he can’t face the hard truths and crumbles. He lies to himself because he is weak.
This is the one I've been waiting for.
What happened to this poor little girl is horrifying
( one more edit )
They BOTH are just as guilty. He can push the blame all he wants. This , now, young women deserves answers.
Right?! He was an adult in the situation and I don’t think Natalia owes him pitty for what he did to her (influenced by his wife or not). The way he is acting in this video is just gross. He is being a little b***ch to be honest. He needs to take responsibility of his actions as an adult and understand that his ab*se does not absolve him from his actions towards a CHILD.
He seems so excited every time he gets to talk about the tHe MoNsTeR
Yeah that’s just…what a performative stunt.
9:13 I don’t think the crying here is weird at all. I take it as she realizes that Michael is going to blame Kristine for everything and not take any accountability. It dawns on her that she will never get the answers she needs to help her heal, and Michael will never see his part in what she went through.
They may very well have shared Kristine as a monster (I don’t know the backstory about Kristine) but Natalia had one more monster: Michael.
A huuuge thing that i feel like everyone is missing is how Michael talked about grace in the beginning of season one and said she was the monster. And how he shifts in season two and changed the monster to krisitine. Im so proad of grace. She has been through so much and has become such strong and kind woman. This is gonna end good for her, all the evidence is there. Sooner or later things will turn right for grace❤
So fustrated at michael barnett. it's supposed to be about what she went through. If I was in his place, first thing I would say was SORRY! SO SORRY! He was an adult and she was a child.
I’m sure he was coached extensively by his lawyer. Apologies are an admission of guilt, so that’s not happening. There is absolutely nothing authentic about this man.
I dig the new intro-- very clean. Excited for the rest of this video but had to share!
I wholeheartedly believe they had the Orphan movie on repeat and forced her to watch it over and over, telling her that it's her reality. I'm sure that really drilled in the manipulation when she was a young child, convincing her to tell other people that she was an adult and that she was violent like in the movie. The movie came out 1 year before they adopted Natalia and Chistine definitely watched that and thought she could get famous for being able to "fix" a murderous dwarf child/adult like in the movie.
I was just searching for something to watch while cooking some Sunday brunch and you uploaded. Perfect timing!!
Okay, but can we talk about your sweater? Absolutely love it.
It's a shirt
What Natalia went through was horrible, thank you for going over this story❤
So glad that loving people have rallied to protect Natalia. May she always be surrounded by loving people who want to help her.
I’ve got family like this. It was so frustrating, but interesting, to watch and break it down
The system completely failed Natalia Grace again and again, and those "parents" belong in jail.
As a suggestion for future videos, there are so many people that body language analysts have consistently targeted that I've never understood, like Megan Markle. I would love to see Observe react to the videos made about her by other body language professionals. I'd like to know what _their_ body language says when they are reading someone who seems fairly innocuous to a lot of us, as opposed to someone like Casey Anthony. Or Michael Barnett.
OMG Megan Markle being targeted is so weird to me! i discovered theres a part of the wworld that is obsessed with her basically
💯 last year that’s all I watch those body language videos about Meghan Markle. Quite interesting but after almost an entire year of that I’ve had enough 🤮
The video were Meghan’s mother interrupted her and she turned to look at her mom angrily and about to reprimand her before she caught herself
Just to say, I love your intro. It’s one of the few that I watch through without skipping.
Love waking up to an Observe video with Mr. Observe!!💜
Can you do a video about Gypsy Rose Blanchard PLEASE!!
I second this suggestion
The irony that Logan, who can’t smell, being sponsored by a perfume company
WHY is he there if he just wants to avoid the tough questions? Isnt this supposed to be getting to the bottom of it so she can heal and move on? Why is he wasting her time? This made me so angry this time around and I do not trust anything he says. He is the narcissist he keeps referring to, in my opinion.
His choice of dressing is very telling too! His whole act is about "look at me: I am a little boy, you are a little girl and we were both hurt by mean mommy".
So he's bold enought to call out producers, walk out, or deflect in conversations but we're to believe he was meek and under the monsters control? What, did he grow something between his legs only after separating from evil? How did he succeed in his business prior to adopting Natalie, when getting financially able to buy those 13 couches? Lemme guess, the monster chose which cars he was allowed to buy .. gimme a break
Yeah in these episodes they act like Michael had no money at all. He ran a business, didn't he? They act like she was financially controlling him the entire relationship when she didn't make any money until she wrote the book about her son. They already had a big house in a nice neighborhood with a bunch of cars before she started her fake organization/book deals
Love your content! Keep up the good work
Him calling his ex 'the monster ' when he is also a monster. Disgusting
This is my favorite channel. You’re awesome Logan!
Yes to part two, please!
As much as Michael’s childishness annoys me, I love hearing your breakdown and would like to see you do the second part.
Whilst we can't diagnose Michael, I think he shows many highly narcissistic traits ( which is funny considering he was accusing his Ex wife of being a Narcissist) - the manipulation, the drama, the attention seeking, the victimhood - poor me, the huge lacking in ability to empathise with Natalia, to make every situation be about himself and what he allegedly went through, to blame everyone else but himself - it literally screams Narcissist but at the very least it's very narcissistic behaviour.
He comes off highly disingenuous.
8:04 Gee, Mike, you had plenty of strength to rage at Natalia for accepting a gift of donuts from a friend back when she was a nine year old Emancipated Minor. You kept at it for quite a while.
The people spoke and you listened! Thank you 🙏
This is amazing video...luv what you do! Yes I very much would like to see more, this case is fascinating...thank you!
I would really like to see you analyse the next part, thankyou
When I watched you do their 1st interview, I was praying you would do this one.
Just him trying to one up the victim card with a CHILD?.... I think it's quite obvious. I've been puzzled by this story for so long and when you just read the stroy without hearing or seeing this man (or his ex, but I haven't seen her like this still)..you would be quite confused too. Natalia did seem creepy in a lot of those stories. Now I'm just puzzled how this worm of a man wiggled his way out of serious repercussions.
It's amazing how this resembles my interactions with my dad about my mom's abuse about 20 years ago. About ten years ago, I realized that my mom was the visibly abusive one while my dad was a more covert abuser. They've been driving each other crazy for decades and we were just along for the ride. I really liked watching this, it is very affirming somehow.
the best advice I can give natalia is try to move on without the answers because he will never answer you straight
I hope they're getting paid enough to do this to themselves, otherwise I don't know why else they would do it.
Id love to see the other half..
Michael is giving his best Fred durst impression
I'm at 06:00 wondering why tf Michael came in literally dressed like heLLo FeLLoW kiDs, he looks ridiculous.
Michael should get "Oscars" for being the worst actor.
Michael definitely thought this doc was a chance for him to redeem himself in the eye of the public but the last thing he wants to do is truly apologize for his part of the abuse. He just wants to scapegoat his ex like she did to him in the trail while I think they are both guilty and Natalia deserves a real apology for being a kid during the whole situation
Kudos to Natalya for not yelling at Michael to shut up and just answer the question. So many times i wanted to tell him to pull his head out of his butt and man up for a change. She really held herself with grace. Probably more than I would have at this point in my life. Michael sure loves the attention he's getting from all of this. He's got himself convinced that he's the victim here and not Natalya. It would be interesting to see Christine's side of things.
This man’s interview makes me so angry… the way they did this whole thing is so terrible
I'm not buying Michael's story at all. He was complicit in the abuse this young woman has suffered and he's just as culpable as his ex wife.
He seems very, very very mentally incompetent. Has no business raising children. He seems to need some specialized care.More than he is presently experiencing.
Yeah, I got that sense too… not that that excuses any of his behavior.
Love it ❤
This man, Michael, is so sick, i feel like we will never get any real info from him. He'll always say yes to interviews though, this guy thrives on this attention..... part of his illness, to be sure.
I watched one interview with him- I’m sure everyone knows the one where he’s on the floor, acting like he needs a 51/50 - and I felt so sad for Natalia. This is one messed up story
What kind of grown man turns up to a serious interview in jeans, a t-shirt and a backwards baseball cap? He was trying to bring himself to her younger level and failed miserably
Omg!! I have congenital anosmia too!!! 😂😂😂
Michael’s inability to take any accountability for his part in the abuse, manipulation, and neglect makes my blood boil.
The last bit about lumping everything together as lies - thats Michael establishing her as a liar for when she coes out with SA claims about him.
I feel like this whole series was very heavily curated and the emotions from all parties forced if not faked.
Does anyone else see the similarities in his theatrics with how amber heard “acted” during her and Johnny depps trial? The over dramatization from the both of them is insane. They must have the same acting coach.
Yes!!! That was what first came to mind. He's so over the top and theatrical. How can he not know how ridiculous it looks? That he is doing such a bad acting job.
My first thought was "what the f*** is he wearing?" Then seeing Natalia's face when he walked in and sat down, I thought "she's thinking the same thing." 😅
On a serious note though, I find it difficult to watch Michael. The blatant manipulation tactics and playing the victim really makes me uncomfortable and ,quite frankly, angry.
The name games with Christine seems to be an attempt to avoid actually legally implicating her in anything, I'm guessing to avoid libel/slander charges?
Tysm❤
I don't know anything about this case or these characters, but I can't help but wonder why there are not lawyers or therapists actually working with them instead of producers and directors. I feel like I'm missing.....a whole lot. And yes, I'm sure you smell great as well
Very nice observations, Michael really seemed like a man wanting to save himself from his sinking ship. Takes skill to blame.
As someone with a narcissistic mom and a problematic stepmom I can assure you that my dad pitying himself and never once in his life standing up for me is the most hurtful part in this whole situation. He'd completely put his own well being over the well-being of his children.
I always excused my father's behavior, but only because I'm used to being the parent to my parents.
Being a bystander is even more awful to me than the one who actively hurts someone. To know that there was at least one person who could've helped you, but actively chose not to is...painful.
Still dancing to the intro! Love it! This entire Natalia Grace stuff is wild! Heard her other adoptive family is done with her and wiped their hands of her "evil". Maybe Micheal and the ex made her more insane after their treatment of Natalia. ❤
I think she realized she was still being manipulated by the other family too.
I didn't watch the series until after the last video. I am assuming there is supposed to be some sort of symbolism with the doors. In the first exchange between Natalia and Michael when her and Antwon are outside talking and they keep showing Michael, Natalia and Antwon aren't relected in the door at any point. The top of the closed front gate is, but it seemed very staged and edited, in my opinion. It kind of warps the perception and makes a lot more of it seem staged as well. Not blaming the people involved in the real life side of it, but the documentary people are kind of doing the actua1l people a disservice, in my opinion.
He is giving Big Ed vibes.
😅😅 good one!!
Just commenting for the algorithm 💛💚
Just a small thing: 'Your age had been altered by the state' makes it sound like the state was in charge of the altering. 'We had your aged altered by the state' would have been more correct. He is trying to make it sound like getting a passport was logical because something the state did. While he did the altering and then got a passport
Oh, what a jackpot Michael is for this show.
So I have a question. If you can’t smell anything can you taste anything. I can’t smell anything or taste anything. If I do smell it it’s not the same as it would be for someone else. Nothing I smell is a good smell.
This child never had a chance! Born in a poor country where disabled babies are seen as a thing of shame to be dumped into a shit hole orphanage, their mothers told they will have no life, that they will be incapable of learning, will never walk or talk, that they are invalids, that will be a financial burden and mothers are pushed and bullied into placing them in state care, or lied to and told they died, never seeing them after delivery while doctors dump the, in orphanages where they are deprived of love, physical touch or cuddling (often not even held during feeds, but by a propped up bottle, and if the bottle is held up by a nanny as they drink flat on their back, often rushed or their feeds cut short, and aspirating milk is common), deprived of language, mental and social stimulation, deprived of toys and play and social interactions with other babies/toddlers despite the understanding of how important play is for young children to learn and grow and mimic their observations and experiences, learn clear and effective communication, problem solve , explore and interact with their surroundings, develop a rich imagination and healthy sense of mischievous playfulness, right and wrong, learn natural consequences under the protective eye of adults who care about them and who they can depend on to swoop in when they get into situations they can’t safely navigate themselves. Their entire existence is all about basic needs-how to soothe hunger, how to eat or drink faster before Nannie’s pull the bottle from their mouth and move on or before other kids competing for food can take theirs or get to whatever is left over. Their mouths aren’t used to explore their environment like other babies and toddlers, they put things in their mouths or suck on whatever they can to self soothe or try to satiate hunger. Many orphanages in old Soviet states and Asian countries strap babies and toddlers to potty chairs all day long once they can sit up on their own. They learn that crying is useless in getting attention to their basic needs, let alone their social-emotional needs, need for comfort and gentle physical affection, and they learn to stimulate themselves through their endless days of monotony to rock, flap, headbang, pick or scratch or pull out their own hair as a firm if self stimulation. They learn they are different, despised, unwanted, unloved, outcasts of their society and family. It’s no wonder so many of them have serious trust issues, reactive attachment disorder unable to form healthy bonds, especially when not adopted as a newborn, explosive anger issues, deep rooted fear, unhealthy relationships with food, impulsiveness, fear, anxiety, resentment, low self esteem and confidence……all adoptive parents should have to demonstrate clear understanding of what adopting a child (especially one over two years of age) really looks like, a deep understanding of not just their physical ailments, but their emotional and psychological scars as well, and the difficulties that come from having reactive attachment disorder. They also need to understand the financial aspect of adopting a child who needs extensive medical care and surgeries, and only move forward after they get all of the child’s records and history and have the means and intention of seeing it through to the end, kiwi g it will take years to fully prove that they won’t abandon the child and can be trusted enough to let them in past the walls the child builds around themselves for protection.
These people knew full well what they were doing; they ignored the bone density scan one specialist used to prove she was under 8 years old, ignored the dentist confirming her age as under 8 due to growth plates not closed and still having most of her baby teeth. They ignored the school stating she was eager to learn, loved school and hardly complained even though walking the long hallway caused immense physical pain and required her to be carried mist of the way, they skipped her surgery schedule and doctor hopped until convincing a family friend primary doctor to write a letter to the court telling the judge his opinion was that the Barnetts were right about her being an adult, despite not being a specialist familiar with her condition (writing the wrong type of dwarfism) and despite never examining her. The three of them committed perjury and fraud.
BTW, aside from her baby teeth still intact when the Barnetts changed her age, and ignored the bone density test, dental tests and other scans, and no one else seeing pubes and a period, her medical condition could actually cause premature puberty. Gell, my healthy 8 year old daughter started her period and grew boobs early. Age of mensus gas gone down significantly over the past 15 plus years. But her condition alone could cause that. My niece has campomelic dysplasia (also including dwarfism, and she had pubic and underarm hair at 7 years old, as her growth hormones were out of whack. Natalya’s bone density scan, dental records (proving baby teeth at the time that didn’t finish falling out with permanent teeth coming in until she was closer to 10) her mother being found in Ukraine and consenting to a DNA test proving she was 99.9999% Natalya’s bio mom, making the Barnett’s claims invalid due to the age of the birth mother! Those tests proved her age more than the current dna test done on the documentary, as the test administered to her bio mom another relative and Natalia, proving maternity and therefore Natalia’s true age as a child at the time she was abandoned. Her changing appearance from then to now also demonstrates her maturing from childhood with frequent physical changes to her appearance (and her last baby teeth falling out) to adulthood with minimal changes. This child was betrayed, abused, abandoned and character murdered to take the heat off of the Barnetts. Now being manipulated by the Mann’s as a financial meal ticket, despite gratefulness of getting her out of an apartment,ent with little food impossible for a child with dwarfism who uses walkers and a wheelchair to get around, with teachers carrying her when she fatigued quickly and was too tired and in pain doubled over to walk the rest of the hallway, but they want us to believe she loomed over them threatening to kill them or chasing them down with a knife? Bull💩
You are spot on! Every word. How she survived both mentally and physically is a miracle.
He gives me the creeps and I feel terrible for Natalia. Also sensing some projection when he talks about how ‘Evil’ loves attention etc., coming from the theatrical man child. I’d feel sorry for him if I didn’t feel so strongly that he was most likely complicit in the abuse of a child. The lack of accountability and any display of empathy is very telling.
As a person named Christina, I asked that you Stop calling that woman Christina.
☝️same. 😂
Respectfully, can you give your side on what happened between you and piper? I appreciate it’s a sensitive topic, but I am unsure if you are aware it what has been implied, and I feel it is important to hear your side of the story
I still can’t believe people like the elderly woman believe she was a molesting adult. I’m sure a kid with a serious detachment disorder showed weird signs and behaviors. I’m sure if you were lied to in ur head she’s an adult it would seem weird hanging out with kids so you’d be hyperfocused on things that would be otherwise not seen the same but hello hinesight
That old lady just wants the drama lol. There was absolutely no reason for them to interview her again 😂
I know she just said the same bs all over again: just wearing different clothes lol.
Nobody took the time to teach Natalia about boundaries and manners. She was abandoned and lonely living on her own and trying to be around people. She offended them by becoming clingy because she didn’t know any better at that age.
Even tho she’s grown now I still see that scared little girl who was failed by everyone 😢 poor girl!
