Natalia's Perspective: Unveiling Freddie Gill's Words
Discover the shocking truth about Michael Barnett and Natalia Grace through the revealing words of Freddie Gill in the captivating documentary series Natalia Speaks Unveiling the untold story, this gripping account leaves no stone unturned
What did Freddie Gill say about Michael Barnett and Natalia Grace during the Natalia Speaks finale? The answer to this question, arising from The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, has finally been revealed. The shocking 2023 documentary depicted conflicting accounts of the situation, with Michael and Kristine Barnett initially claiming that their adoptive daughter, Natalia, was older and a threat to their family, while Natalia herself claimed abuse.
Natalia Speaks, a new docu-series, features allegations of physical and emotional abuse while in the care of the Barnetts. It is claimed that her age was legally changed from eight to 22 and she was forced to live alone in an apartment unsuitable for her disability. Following Michael and Kristine's divorce, Michael has accused his ex-wife of being similar to Natalia, but there is more to the story. The final two episodes of Natalia Speaks, which aired last night (January 3), revealed shocking new information and offered a resolution to one of Season 1's biggest mysteries: what Freddie Gill really said about Michael and Natalia. Viewer discretion is advised as the content may be distressing to some.
Natalia Speaks: What did Freddie Gill really say?
During the dramatic conclusion of Natalia Speaks, Freddie Gill, a performer whom Kristine Barnett had previously contacted while Natalia Grace was in her care, revealed: "Kristine conveyed to me through a series of messages that Natalia had completely disrupted her life, and essentially insinuated that Michael... Natalia had started having an affair with her husband."
Kristine was devastated after discovering that Natalia had been intimate with her husband. Additionally, there were rumors that Natalia had attempted to become involved with one of the neighbors' spouses. It is important to highlight that Kristine was accused of mistreating Natalia and trying to remove her from her care by altering her age during the adoption process. Despite being charged with neglect of a dependent in 2019, the case against Kristine was dropped the following year.
Freddie Gill discussed speaking with Kristine in The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, claiming that she contacted him on social media for advice as they both have dwarfism. However, their conversations escalated into sexual topics, and Freddie provided evidence of explicit photos sent by Kristine. Kristine then proposed setting him up on a night out with Natalia, which Freddie found disturbing. This detail becomes even more troubling with the release of Natalia Speaks, as DNA testing has proven that Natalia was indeed a child at the time.
In the final episode of the first documentary series, the producers confronted Michael Barnett with accusations from Freddie. Holding the laptop in front of him, Michael agreed to watch the clip, but interrupted Freddie before he could finish his sentence, leaving viewers wondering what Freddie was about to say.
In the episode "Natalia Speaks," both Michael and Natalia react with shock and outrage to the full clip. "Say what?" exclaimed Natalia. "No! Are you crazy? That is a total lie." Michael also responded, saying "Absolutely not. I have never at all… at the same time, that’s Kristine. She will make up whatever crazy loud lie she can and if you don’t believe her then she’ll take it up a notch."
Kristine Barnett is not featured in either of the docu-series.
The shocking revelation has sparked demands from numerous viewers for justice for Natalia and for a thorough investigation into the allegations against Kristine. "#FreddieGill proving #KristineBarnett attempted to sell #NataliaGrace into sexual slavery leads me to believe Natalia experienced more SA than what was discussed," one viewer commented on X.
Another person also targeted Michael, stating, “He was absolutely an accomplice and completely failed as a man and father. Both he and Kristine Barnett are pathological liars and narcissists who deserve to be in prison!” Additionally, a third person commented, “Before 2024 ends, I want Michael Barnett and Kristine Barnett to be arrested and convicted of numerous horrific crimes. I also want Natalia to sue them for all of their assets and win.”

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am deeply disturbed and saddened by the revelations made in the Natalia Speaks documentary series. The allegations of physical and emotional abuse, as well as the shocking claims made by Freddie Gill, paint a deeply disturbing picture of the Barnetts' treatment of Natalia Grace. It is unconscionable that a child would be subjected to such cruelty and neglect. I am appalled by the Barnetts' actions and believe that they should be held accountable for their crimes.
I am also deeply concerned about the welfare of Natalia Grace and hope that she is receiving the support and care she needs to heal from the trauma she has experienced. I believe that it is essential that the authorities conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations against the Barnetts and ensure that Natalia Grace is safe and protected. I stand with Natalia and all victims of abuse, and I hope that this case will bring about justice and help to prevent similar tragedies from happening in the future.
