Following the unexpected ending of Natalia Speaks, the Curious Case of Natalia Grace is set to get another follow-up documentary series – but until then, you might be wondering what happened to Natalia’s former adoptive mother, Kristine Barnett. Is she in jail? Here’s what we know.
What followed was a source of much contention; while Michael claims in the original series that Natalia was older than she said and that she tried to hurt his wife and biological sons, Natalia accuses Kristine of physical and psychological abuse.
Natalia Speaks: Is Kristine Barnett in jail?
Although Kristine doesn’t appear or give statements to both of the documentary series, she did share a lengthy Facebook post on the matter amid the release of The Curious Case of Natalia Grace.
These allegations are in stark contrast to Natalia’s experience, who claims the Mans have given her a loving home and that Kristine was the abuser. It’s currently unclear whether Kristine will face any legal consequences or if the allegations will be investigated following the release of Natalia Speaks.
The Curious Case of Natalia Grace and Natalia Speaks are available to stream on Discovery Plus and Max, which you can sign up forhere. You can read the Natalia Speaks ending explainedhere.
