In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Natalia Grace bravely spoke out for the first time since ‘The Curious Case of Natalia Grace’ premiered in 2023. The ongoing allegations against her, including claims that she was an adult with dwarfism masquerading as a child and that she threatened her adoptive family with a knife, have taken a toll on her. Natalia adamantly defends herself, stating, “I’m not a liar,” and shares the pain of living under intense scrutiny for years.
The situation becomes even more disturbing with allegations of physical and psychological abuse by her most recent adoptive parents, Cynthia and Antwon Mans. Natalia reveals that she is the type of person who hides her pain until it becomes overwhelming, leading to explosions of emotions. She recounts her daring escape from the Mans family, who reportedly controlled her for over a decade, to find refuge with the DePauls, a supportive family of little people in upstate New York.
Reflecting on her past traumas, Natalia discusses the emotional toll of being constantly under public scrutiny. ‘The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: The Final Chapter’ delves deeper into her story and airs on Investigation Discovery and Max. Through her courage and resilience, Natalia Grace continues to navigate through the challenges brought on by her tumultuous past.
