"Revealing Natalia Grace's Truth: DNA Tests and Shocking Revelations Unfold"

Kristine Barnett, the former adoptive mother of Natalia Grace, has publicly refuted abuse claims made by Grace in the new ID docuseries "The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks." Barnett insists that no physical abuse occurred and describes Grace as a sociopath who manipulates people. The controversy stems from the Barnetts' belief that Grace, adopted as a child with dwarfism, was actually an adult posing as a child. Legal actions were taken to change Grace's age and eventually led to neglect charges against the Barnetts, which have since been dismissed. The docuseries also reveals a DNA test suggesting Grace was a child at the time of her adoption.

"DNA Test and Kentucky Genetics Firm Unravel the Natalia Grace Age Controversy"

Kristine Barnett, the adoptive mother of Ukrainian orphan Natalia Grace, has publicly refuted allegations of abuse and neglect following Natalia's appearance on the docuseries "The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks." Kristine denies mistreating Natalia, who has accused her adoptive parents of abandonment and has a rare genetic disorder. The Barnetts previously claimed Natalia was an adult posing as a child, but DNA testing on the series suggested she was about 9 years old at adoption. Kristine's ex-husband Michael was found not guilty of neglect charges in 2022, and the case against Kristine was dropped in March 2023. Natalia, now around 22, has reconciled with Michael after he apologized on the show.

Unraveling the Controversy Surrounding 'The Blind Side' and Michael Oher's Legal Battle

Michael Oher, the inspiration behind "The Blind Side," has filed a legal petition claiming that he was put under a legal conservatorship without his informed consent by the Tuohy family, who were portrayed in the film. Oher alleges that the conservatorship gave the Tuohys "total control" over his ability to negotiate contracts and claims that they profited from the movie while he received no compensation. The Tuohys dispute Oher's claims and state that they did not make money from the film. Oher is seeking an end to the conservatorship and compensation for the alleged profits made by the Tuohys.
